Hammock Camping Soldiers Lake In Springlike Temperatures

The weather has been warming up and spring like conditions have been blossoming. Shadow and I headed to Soldier Lake and do some hammock camping on the edge of the lake. I spent a lot of time in the area when I was young as I grew up nearby on the Shubienacadie Canal system. Soldier lake is a reservoir and hydro power is generated at the location. This is a very beautiful and diverse area holding many species of wildlife. It was nice to see some old growth forest that is untouched.

Shadow loves adventure and I tossed the GoPro on his back to capture video. It’s always interesting to see his view and perspective. The little bugger shakes and throws the camera on an angle lol. Shadow is an awesome companion to have with me.



A great meal was prepared over an open fire. On the menu was steak, baked potato with the fixins, mushrooms and onions. For dessert was Bannock with dried cranberries.

There was rain expected overnight so a tarp was thrown over the hammock set up. The Self Reliance hammock and accompanying tarp were used on this camp out. I use aftermarket hammock straps from Bear Butt to support the hammock. To keep Shadow and I toasty warm, I placed my custom Little Shop of Hammock underquilt beneath us for added warmth. We did get a little sprinkle of rain during the night but the tarp kept us nice and dry.

I woke up refreshed and enjoyed the smells and sounds of nature. Shadow and I hiked out and headed home.
