Spotted. Evening @kammok swings aren't the same without the Froggie Guardians of the Forest! They also aren't the same without my two adventure partners in crime! Thanks for the hang time @theadventureengineer and @livingthelifeofriley_dog! 📍Ravenshoe Trail | Georgina | ON 🇨🇦 (at Ravenshoe Trail - York Region Forest)

Remember kids, when playing on the ice when the weather has been, well let's just say not so "wintery", stay away from the dock!! Lessons learned...!? 📍Cook's Bay | Georgina | ON 🇨🇦 🏷@theadventureengineer (at Lake Simcoe)

There was a time when being outside in January meant braving the elements. Confronting the storm head on. Ready to take on winter and all her fury. Today, January 19th, I donned a light sweater and trackies to "brave" the +5 temps and melting snow. I'd like to have winter back! Anytime now Mother Nature 💜 (at Baxter Conservation Area)

Always keep looking for the next adventure. Your next inspiration. Never push aside the things that make you tick - the things that keep your world spinning 'round! It doesn't have to be some world record or ground breaking feat! It can be as simple as a forest walk at sunset with your fur baby to fill your soul and make you feel alive. 📍Any Forest | Ontario 🇨🇦 📷@theadventureengineer 🏷@livingthelifeofriley_dog (at York Regional Forest)

A walk in the woods is sometimes all you need to get back on track. To remember the direction you've decided to take. The path you've started to carve out. 📍Ravenshoe Forest | Ontario 🇨🇦 📷: @theadventureengineer (at Ravenshoe Trail - York Region Forest)

Winter seems to freeze just about everything it touches. Often it can seem to grasp you too in its icy grip and not let you go until the warmer spring temperatures return to fight off the cold. However, there are some things winter isn't able to paralyze. Keep that energy flowing through your veins. Get out, explore and adventure even if the ice, snow, and below zero temperatures try to slow you down. 📍Niagara Falls | Ontario 🇨🇦 (at Niagara Falls, Ontario)

The best roads are the ones that keep leading you around every corner. The ones with no beginning and no end. The ones that unleash adventure after adventure and open you up to a whole new world. 📍Newfoundland 🇨🇦 (at Northern Bay (vik i Kanada, Newfoundland och Labrador))

Each and every winter I seem to find a new appreciation for this vast expanse of frozen water just steps outside my back door. I find myself looking forward to the colder months where I can walk on the lake, away from the house, towards the setting sun and feel the warmth of its rays on my face - feel the crunch of the snow beneath my feet. 📍Cook's Bay | Lake Simcoe | Ontario 🇨🇦 🏷@theadventureengineer | @livingthelifeofriley_dog (at Cook's Bay, Lake Simcoe)

Today I would be quite happy with where these railroad tracks are taking me. Where would you want the tracks leading you? 📍Rocky Mountains | British Columbia 🇨🇦

Products - Products - Products!! The harsh winter elements can take a toll on anything left exposed to snow, wind and below zero temps. Most of the time this leads to dry, cracked skin and frozen hair - literally. As winter adventurers, we don't (usually) let this stop us from getting out there, but we do take the extra time to care for and moisturize our exposed ... um ... parts. Don't let the harsh winter elements slow you down! . Despite the icicles, @drylandwilds has helped @theadventureengineer keep his beard soft and supple with their Face & Beard Oil. Check them out!

We aren't always prepared to weather the storm that sneaks up on us, but one way or another we find our way through to sunnier days, calmer seas and warmer weather. We may feel a little rundown and worse for wear, but deep down we have truly grown and become stronger; More ready to take on what's around the next corner. 📍 Fall River | Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 (at Fall River, Nova Scotia)

For those of us that find ourselves temporarily "trapped" in the urban jungle, surrounded by the hustle and bustle and buzzing of the 9-5 city life, it can be hard to imagine anything but this. And then comes the moment when you remember a place you've been or are dreaming of going where it's virtually untouched. Places where the mountains tower high above you and the valleys roll out like a red carpet in front of you. Places that remind you there is still a beautiful world out there, beyond the sprawling reaches of the city limits, just waiting for you to discover. 📍Mayrhofen | Tyrol 🇦🇹 (at Mayrhofen, Zillertal, Tirol)

The sun will rise and the sun will set. Each day this is a constant, something you can find comfort in. But what you do with your time in between is an unknown and where there is unknown there is adventure only you can create. 📍Ravenshoe | Georgina | ON 🇨🇦 🏷@theadventureengineer (at Ravenshoe Trail - York Region Forest)

Even on the coldest winter days, not even the bright rays of the setting sun warms my heart as much as exploring the forest floor with this furry mutt 🐺 📍Ravenshoe Trails | Georgina | ON 🇨🇦 📷@theadventureengineer (at Ravenshoe Trail - York Region Forest)

Many choose to hit the refresh button when January 1st hits. For some, a new year is a chance to start over, start anew, or re-try those resolutions from years past. But what if we decided to look at the changing of the year as a continuation from the last? A chance to keep adding to that list of adventures, to continue the journey you've already started and to keep chasing your dreams of previous years until they come true. Where will 2017 take you? 📍Cabot Trail | Cape Breton | NS 🇨🇦 (at Cape Breton Highlands National Park)

A forest stroll and some fresh air is all it takes sometimes. It doesn't have to be some exotically wild, far off destination where no tracks have been laid before. Sometimes exploring the same forest trails only ten minutes down the road brings new wonder, excitement and experiences to add to your memory jar! Where will oh wonder this weekend? 📍Ravenshoe Forest | Georgina | Ontario 🇨🇦 (at Brownhill Tract)

It's about the little things in life and nothing says winter walk like bringing a handful of seeds to feed the chickadees who aren't afraid of a little snow and below zero temps!! 📍Ontario Trails | 🇨🇦 📷@theadventureengineer
