- Hello Adventurers.
We are here in Toronto.
- Yes, and we're gonna drive about three hours North
to Ontario's Highlands to experience winter
like true Canucks.
- We grew up in this area but we've never explored
Ontario's Highlands so we're gonna go snowshoeing,
snowmobiling, and we're gonna go cross
- Ice climbing
- Ice climbing, cross-country skiing,
so much fun stuff is ahead.
(chilled lounge music)
- We're at Sir Sam's, which is a family-run ski
and snowboard hall and I'm about to go snowboarding.
This is both mine and Sia's third
or maybe fourth time snowboarding,
so we decided to like opt out of an instructor
because we're pros, you know.
(chilled lounge music)
- Waaaaah
- Aaaah
- We are here at the Haliburton Forest.
There's wolf dogs here.
I just heard that there's a moose that they rescued
that's here, so we might go check him out
but the real reason we're here is for these guys.
We're going snowmobiling.
(energizing electronica music)
- How beautiful is this?
It's so peaceful.
There's literally no sound, except my voice.
This is so peaceful.
It's adventurous and peaceful,
you can just ride through the trails,
have a lot of fun, adrenalin pumping,
and then all of a sudden this.
Standing in the middle of a lake,
surrounded by beautiful trees,
the sun is shining,
snow on the ground.
This is winter in Canada.

- It's pretty cool that we're super close
to the GTA, Toronto and also Ottawa.
We're not too far, only a couple of hours
and there's all of this.
There's so much to do, especially in the winter time
and you don't have to go that far from the city.
This is our first time in this area
and doing all these things that we're doing in this area,
I didn't even know you could.
- [Sia] What you doing there?
- Making my boots nice and toasty.
This preparation is key, it's cold out there
so I want to be as warm as possible.
- [Sia] Are you marshmallowing your boot?
- Marshmallowing my boot.
My boot.
Last night we stayed in this cozy little cabin,
pretty much glued to this fireplace to keep warm
and now we're gonna go and conquer the cold,
and when I mean by cold, I mean minus 27
because that's what we do as Canadians,
we conquer, we take breaks, we warm up
and then we go out again and we conquer.
We're about to witness something pretty unique and special.
Now, this is gonna be graphic so I'm just warning you
ahead of time, but this is real.
We're gonna see a bunch of wolves eat a deer carcass.
Now this deer was hit by a car.
It's roadkill, it's dead.
It was brought to the reserve so that the wolves
could feed and can eat.
So deer carcass can last this pack of wolves one whole week.
They'll be full for one whole week.
So that's what we're about to see right now is them feed.
(chilled lounge music)
This is incredible.
(chilled lounge music)
(wolves growling)
- [Sia] I have seen wolves before.
I have seen wolf dogs before
but I've never seen wolves actually eating
like a whole carcass.
This is incredible.
We're so close to Toronto and we can see wolves.
- I don't know if you've ever seen,
I think it is a video it takes,
it's in Yellowstone National Park,
where they were showing how there are like no wolves
for years, and how the forest just fell apart,
other animals disappeared, and as soon as they brought in
wolves again, the forest like returned back
to how it was supposed to be,
and different animals started coming back
so they're so needed in the ecosystem.
They're so vital,
they're vital importance to the forest.
- We have made it to Silent Lake.
I don't hear a sound
and we're gonna do some cross-country skiing.
(energizing electronica music)
- The great thing about cross-country skiing
is once you get it, it doesn't take long,
and you can come out here and do it on your own.
I like sports like that.
You learn fast and then you're on your own.
(energizing electronica music)
- See this wall?
I'm gonna climb it.
(energizing electronica music)
- This is a Cedar tree.
And this is one of my favorite smells.
Now you can just like rub the oils in your fingers,
aah, and get that fresh cedar scent.
You can actually use this for different medicines,
you can use this in teas.
It's one of the best smells in the world.
Thank you Cedar tree.
You are beautiful.
- Friends, if you've never hugged a tree before,
you need to go and do it.
I know I might sound silly.
It doesn't matter, it's amazing.
Aah, Sia's gonna take the camera
so I can actually do it well.
It's so nice.
They have amazing energies
and there's a lot more to trees than you might think.
It's so nice.
(energizing electronica music)
- This is the most Canadian thing I've ever seen in my life.
Someone rode their snowmobile to Tim Hortons.
That's, that's classic Canadian.
