Must-See Gear at the Hamilton Adventure Expo 2026

Come check out the Hamilton Adventure Expo with me, and see all of the booths and amazing gear. I talk to some of my favorite vendors and countless outdoor enthusiasts after traveling through a blizzard to get there. I also ran a contest called Camper Christina ‘s Corner out of the H2O Paddlesports booth, loosely based on Speakers Corner in Toronto. IYKYK! People were to come and share a 60 second canoeing story in exchange for a raffle ticket to be entered to win one of 14 amazing prizes valued at $2300. It was a blast to see some of you on the other side of the lens!

The one thing I cannot replicate from this show is the awesome feeling of community that occurs when you spend time here. Being able to meet and talk to people in person, being able to share stories and laugh and joke around with some of my favourite outdoor adventurers, is inexplicable. Hope you enjoy the video. 🙂
