Overnight at Pachena Beach - one coast to the other 

You're a women after my own heart...such a beautiful life you lead. Simplicity to me is the best way to live.... You have a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing., Always. ❤❤❤

I treasure the Pacific North West, …..everything about it. Especially a Campfire! Oh I bet Milo would love it too 🐾 Absolutely lovely, Thank you Wendy!

Bliss. Pure bliss. Love the cookie sheet wind screen!

Ahhh...the sound of those waves transfers through! Thanks, Wendy!👍😎🇨🇦🌊✨️

Used to live on the west coast of Scotland and I miss the sounds of the tides. Campfire on the beach - nothing better! Your channel is exploding! So happy more folks are discovering you and your adventures.

So nice. When my parents were alive they lived PNW and we often went to beaches like that. The sound is wonderful

Beautiful scene with the sound of the waves and the crackling fire. Very pleasant. You are lucky to have so may pretty places to go from where you live. Thank you.

Thanks for showing us how beautiful it is there!

I noticed the beautiful sounds most of all on this video. Thanks for bringing us to wild places. I always enjoy your videos, and the chance to learn something new.

Wendy, that was such a beautiful place. Thank you for taking us along. I always find your videos so peaceful and relaxing. Thanks for sharing

Wendy : I love your travels. The beach with this trip is fabulous. You are blessed & so am I to watch you ! Congrats on your new dog.

Thank you for bringing us along on your little adventures.

I love the fantastic photos the peaceful campsite. I love this kind of weather for camping thank you for sharing.

I use the same Trangia kit. I love it!😊 What I like the most is the silence of cooking with alcohol. I go in the forest for peace not to listen to a jet.🇨🇦

That was nice... Thankyou for showing your journey

Thank you so much for allowing us to travel along with you. Beautiful photography. Keep up the amazing work!! You’re a blessing to us all!!

Thanks for sharing the close ups of flora and fauna. The sea urchins were cool. I can see why you enjoy the west coast so much. This is the perfect time to go camping.

Great trip. It's beautiful out there. Thanks for sharing your trip. Your dinner looked excellent; simple high end beach cooking.

Mana for the soul.... Thank You, Wendy.

Thank you M'lady, for sharing your travels, and joys with us. Stay well & safe. Cheers❤

I'm glad the rain started falling towards the end of your stay and not earlier! Thanks for sharing such a comforting video. I loved it.

What a beautiful place to camp - thanks so much for taking us along.

Good to see you 'adventuring' again Wendy, and a bit more comfortably for this trip. lol I love the sound of the surf and the rattling of the pebbles or the 'shissing' ( a word?) of the sand as it returns with back wash of waves. A beautiful area for sure, so YES, let's go back again. 🙂👌

beautiful scenery

When you say your soul is on the west coast of the Island, mine is up in the Rocky Mountains, along some of the creeks or lakes. Not in some of the big campgrounds, but rather primitive camping areas. We are so blessed in this country with such abundant beauty! Cheers!

Thanks for a very satisfying video. I always wanted to get out to the west coast of the island, but haven't got there yet. Beautiful sights and sounds. Like you can hear the planet breathing. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing tastes better than food cooked over a camp fire. What a beautiful location. Loved the video look forward to the next one.

We used to go to tofino many times a year, off season mostly. Can’t stand the crowds. Off season gives you magical warm sunny days and wild storms. Really miss it. Thank you for sharing your joy ❤️

Thank you! I appreciate your inspiration. Encourages me to just go do it!

What a beautiful serene camping spot, Wendy! I always look up the places you go to and hope one day to be able to visit and enjoy the beauty of the nature in your neck of the woods. Love this one! 😊❤

❤😊 Beautiful video!! Enjoyed this trip thoroughly, thanks again!!😅

Wonderful adventure, and a great video too. ❤👍 Thank you Wendy to share it with us. Beautiful, relaxing, and insping

i love your videos so much you’re such an inspiration for me

Thank you for sharing your sweet sweet adventures! I always enjoy watching your videos so much. I send you love from Estonia, Europe! ❤

Beautiful sights and sounds. Thanks, Wendy.

What a wonderful adventure! Thanks for taking us along ❣️

Another beautiful trip! We just returned from the north shore of Lake Superior in MN and spent as much time as we could on the shore. The waves are just mesmerizing. I could sit there for hours.

What a beautiful spot! I am definitely going to go there on my next trip to see my beloved friend in Port Alberni. As always, thanks for sharing. 💕

Another beautiful place. Thank you for sharing with us.

Beautiful first campsite location! Thank you for sharing your trip.💐

Good advice, thank you.

Another lovely spot, Wendy! I love where you live, but I am so glad many of our campgrounds here in NC remain open year-round. After the heat of summer, I am ready for the 9 months of camping before the heat returns. Thank you for another relaxing camping trip.❤

The sea sounds are delightful

Hi Wendy I love your life and what you do, where you go, You take us to such lovely camping adventures always something interesting to see . I can't blame you for wanting to sit at the beach take in the views and listen to the sounds of the waves .( I enjoy that myself.). I look forward to you coming back here to this place . Thanks so much for sharing the ocean is beautiful, A bit different from the great lakes that surround me .

I was just on Vancouver Island a couple of weeks ago. You could spend a lifetime exploring it! Lovely, lovely place, which you show quite well in all your videos. Walk in peace and keep the videos coming!!

What a Beautiful location..Thank you so much for sharing you’re adventure ✌🏼❤️

Love this! I’d like to see the inside of your van!

Thank you for another wonderful video ❤

Thank you Wendy, for doing these videos 🙏💖🥰 You bring me so much enjoyment living vicariously through you. I moved from the California mountains to Oklahoma, and these woods lack the pine tree 🌲 smell I miss so much. There’s a beautiful state park in North east Oklahoma, Natural Falls State Park. The natural springs pour continuously out of the ground, in a constant waterfall. The woods out here do have lots more ticks than in California, (I tested positive for Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, and the meat allergy that stays with you for life), so USE THE DEET 🙏🥰 Thank you again for all you do. Someday I will get strong again and go camping 🏕 once more, for now, I am just happy to have found you 🙏💖🥰

Serenity!!! I so enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing! Look forward to seeing Milo out camping with you in the future

What a wonderful trip Wendy. Thank you for the walk on the beach it was so welcome as we are in triple digits here in Okla. The sound of the beach was a joy. How's Milo? I hope it's working for you guys, he is a lucky dog 🐕 ❤️ think I'll watch this again😊

You look like you had a wonderful time Wendy and a beautiful spot and with good food😊

Such beautiful light and mists just before the Autumn Equinox! I can see why you love that coast so much. ... Well, you've started something! I am the proud new owner of a tarp and I'm learning knots. And I won't be skimping on my frypan size!

Great video as always. I love how you capture nature. Beautiful!

That sure looked like a great adventure. I would be a happy clam if my dog and I were to spend a few days just sitting on that beach

Loving your videos Wendy and I am interested that you go on short overnight trips. It's given me food for thought as I always (until now) thought my trips needed to be a week or more. Of course, you have such lovely locations on your doorstep. Many thanks from Oz.

I’ve been using a Trangia since the 80s. So simple and easy to use.

My 1st trip to Bamfield was from Seattle, in my truck with my 18’ clipper canoe on top, maybe 17 years ago. Port Alberni to Bamfield was the most frightful road I’ve ever driven, and I’m used to mountain forest service roads. Twisty terrible gravel road, single lane bridges, and huge logging trucks going 60mph consuming 2/3rds of the road and filling up the whole bridge. My next 4 trips, I chose to paddle down from PA, camping a night or two along the Alberni inlet to Bamfield, then camped on Diana island, and took the M/V Lady Rose back to PA. They hoisted my canoe and gear up onto the deck. It was fabulous! I don’t know if you can do any of that anymore. Lots of bears, especially so in the old native village sites. Did my heart good to see you out there. And knowing the road is improved, I might spend this winter planning a trip back there!

Your videos always bring back such happy memories! I remember camping at Pachena Bay when you could set up your tent on the beach. One memorable trip we ran on the wet sandy beach at night while the phosphorescence sparkled beneath our feet! We had some great hikes to Keeha Bay. Such a special place, thanks for sharing!

Beautifully filmed, Wendy! I've been wanting to drive in to Bamfield but the road always deterred me. Thanks for the heads up about how it has improved...I'll be visiting for sure. Many thanks for the sharing.

This is wonderful !

You did such a good job taking the video.. it's a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous.

Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.

Really love all of your videos. I find it so inspiring to see a way of extending my old Vancouver Island and Rockies exploring habits. Darn cancer in the meanwhile has cramped my style and energy a lot! 🤞🤞I can manage some version!

What a lovely video. So calm and relaxing. Thank for taking me along. It was so beautiful. How’s your new pup doing? Take care

Trying to visit the Eastern Sierras this Fall…in a condo. 😊. Still adventurous for me. 🤗 I so enjoy your adventures! Thank you for sharing!

Canada really has some beautiful places to see & camp...I'm always amazed at the places you find, Wendy! That is such a beautiful beach...I would love to sit there & take it all in, as well, Wendy!! So peaceful That stove is amazing & so tiny...definitely would be a great thing to take camping or even have for a backup emergency too. I think bringing the "Blue Lady" this time was probably a good idea, especially with this being a bear area too...gives a bit more safety. I actually fear humans more than wildlife, but at the same time, I try to be very aware of my surroundings too. I think what I love the most about your camping adventures, besides the raw, natural beauty of these places, is the fact that you are happy no matter the weather...you take each trip as it presents itself & still manage to enjoy it to the fullest!! I think we can all learn a lot from our own lives, if we all just did the same in our daily living. Thank you so much for sharing, Wendy & Blessings & love to you & your hubby!🙏♥

Thanks for the video Wendy! You are always doing something different and it’s so much fun to see what your up to. You are so brave to be out there alone when a bear was there when you arrived. I have reserved 2 more nights where we camped by the river last month, but it will be the end of October so hoping it won’t be too cold! I’ll let you know how it goes! Great to see you!

Beautiful

Hi …thank you for Video … great … happy I found you!

Beautiful beach camp Wendy, it reminds me of an Island in my local area where we have camped many times before .And this camping video inspires me to make reservations there ahead of time for next season, since the season is over the end of August. The only way to get out there is by boat and there are no stores and no electricity at the tent sites (only if you are lucky to secure a yurt which only a few are available). So its primitive but a really nice experience and i love the sound of the waves at night very relaxing to go to sleep to. I love the scenery in your video what a gorgeous area and must have been amazing the wildlife you saw..And doesnt food taste awesome cooked outdoors. Thank you for sharing

Looks Lovely!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful video. You have such beautiful scenery unlike here in Texas

I love your videos 🎉🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️

Never been to Bamfield. Thanks so much for sharing :)

You deserve easier travels. Happy Trails

Beautiful view. No way could I get out of that chair though!

Thank you.

looks like a real nice place , i enjoy the cooler weather but not so much the rain

Really enjoyed your beach trip!

I half expected you to pull your canoe out of the van :) Hope your puppy is adjusting well take care

Wendy your dinner looks better than mine. I’m on a diet!😫 Great video.

Hi Wendy Outdoor Hope you are having a good day today. Beautiful

❤❤❤❤❤

What a delightful campsite on the west coast of Vancouver Island! I miss the sounds of the ocean's surf roaring as it ebbs and flows. Cooking dinner over an open fire with misty trees and seascape completes the Pacific NW experience. Beautiful images of the sunset with the people gathered along the shore. Thanks for sharing! Jenny

❤

Long to see your newest video to come out. Love your adventurous spirit. I would have been afraid to cook food with the smells attracting a bear or cougar to you relaxing there.

Wendy, I wish you'd show us the inside of your new van?! I'm in the middle of building out a Promaster van and love seeing others!

nice trip

Hi Wendy! What a beautiful campsite and the beach area is huge. The site next to you had a hammock - so that would be how close the next campsite is to yours? Did the Park put in all of those vertical pilings down the beach (similar to pilings hammock was attached to)? I imagine that during the Summer that campground would be quite busy because it's certainly a beautiful spot. Hope you're doing well and thanks for sharing.

I'm new to your channel, thanks for sharing

What a lovely site. I was taken aback when I saw people in the background. What travel van are you using Wendy?

I've heard that bears get into cars (rip off doors etc). Do you leave your food in the van with yourself? Are you worried about that? I wouldn't think so but I haven't camped in such secluded places that you have shared with us. Thanks again for another calming video :)

👍😁

There is so much great camping throughout the Pacific Northwest. Do you prefer the Trangia stove to the canister fuel stove? I'm tempted to try it.

Won’t the cooking outside attract the bears? Beautiful scenery

hi Wendy, give Milo a cuddle for me!

🍁 🌊 🍂

Another great video thanks for bringing us.👏🏻🏕️
