I have been camping since I was six months old when my parents took me on a trip around Lake Superior. My earliest memory is being inside my playpen inside my grandfather’s canvas tent when I was about two and a half years old. Every summer of my childhood was spent at Pancake Bay, the Ontario Provincial Park closest to Sault Ste Marie, ON, my hometown. Reflecting traditional guides, Don’t Forget The Matches is a book for those who are outdoorsmen at heart but need a little education to get them started on their own adventures.
