Welcome to our new website! Our focus will be on backpacking adventures and other outdoor activities that go hand in hand. As a result, most of what is discussed here will be on the subject. However, there may be a sidetrack here or there chasing similar hobbies.

Want to contribute your backpacking adventures?

I hope you enjoy the site, and all are welcome to comment. I will be actively looking for others to contribute their stories as well. Furthermore, if you feel you would like to contribute and share your backpacking adventures get in touch.

My favorite backpacking adventures

I can think of no single trip that I have ever wished that I had not undertaken. With that said, I will find it hard to choose the favorite “One”. However, part of what I wish to do is to share some of the more memorable trips of the past. Current trips will always be shared. Planned future trips will have a place here as well. I would hope some of you will share your knowledge and stories as well.

Backpacking gear discussion

I have moved to less is more over the years. It is funny that since my pack has lightened up, I have room for some out of the ordinary carry along items. I think this is a huge advantage of having a light load. I can carry the unexpected things to make the trip even more enjoyable. For example, to take two or three pounds of steaks tightly wrapped in a zip lock bag. How delightful is it to surprise my companions with a 16-ounce steak cooked on a rock the first night. Gone are the days of heavy gear for me. Let’s discuss what you carry.

Backpacking Viewpoint from the trail

From years of backpacking, I have found you can gain new and exciting points of view. I relaxing hike along a ridge trail or following a river up a narrow canyon can give a new perspective to life and substantially remove the daily grind stress that we all face in today’s busy world. When life’s stress creeps up on you, consider seeking a new backpacking viewpoint and watch it fade away.

In conclusion, I hope you enjoy your time on the trail. I look forward to hearing from you.
