Mont-Tremblant holds a dear spot in our hearts: it’s the place where we used to live before this adventure started. Below is a video showing our journey from a house life… to a van life:
We decided to take 2 months in Mont-Tremblant to accommodate a bit more with the van life, see what we still need to buy for our trip, what else we don’t need, wait for Meeko to grow a bit more… and the 3 of us to get adjusted to our new reality.
Hiking on Montagne Verte
We did move a few times within the same camping: the first one, Starlink internet was not working, the second spot was available only for 2 weeks, third one… well, we just wanted to try it… and then from the forth one we went in Parc National de Mont-Tremblant.
Below is a small time lapse of the steps we have to do outside, each time we need to move to a new place. It takes about 1h just to do outside, plus another 1h to secure everything inside the Airstream:
In the end: all is good!
Meeko experienced a lot of new things: his first haircut, his first swim in the river, first time doing paddle board and a lot of walks in the forest.
We took our time to decompress from work, but also mixed in activities we like, such as hiking, playing golf, board games, or reading books in the hammock. We also spent a lot of time with friends and family (we’ll share photos at some point in the future :D).
We finished our stay in the region by visiting the SEPAQ Parc National de Mont-Tremblant. We practiced being fully disconnected from services (water, electricity, sewage) to see how long we could be autonomous. If we don’t need AC, electricity is no problem. The black tank is no problem. The gray tank (used water from sinks and shower) will be the first one to fill. Bottom line: if we want to be autonomous for more than 3-4 days, we have some new habits to develop 🙂
