Windstorms, Europeans, and Pie
Day 3.
7 Miles.
I wake to a pretty pink sunrise, ready to tackle the first 7 miles of the day that will carry me into Mount Laguna. A few hikers pass me as I’m packing up, including the friends from Munich I made on the first day. As I begin walking it gets hot quickly. After awhile I feel a little sick and shaky, so I stop in the shade of a desert bush and consume small amounts of both food and electrolytes, ...

That's my home for the next five months. While I'm sure it's going to change, my favorite pieces of gear right now are my puffy, Pete, and my sleeping bag.

Ten Days From the Beginning
I’ve repacked my backpack somewhere close to 50 times by now. Changed gear and went on smaller hikes to test it out. I’ve spent hours pouring over logistics and putting resupply boxes together. My mind is right. I just need to get there now.
Too much time before my start date leaves a lot of uncertainty. Thinking about all of the ”what ifs” that could go wrong. Asking myself questions like, ”am I ready, ”or are you sure this is what you want?” Yes, ...

Bear Bags, Burnt Crocs and Border Crossing. Week Two on the AT.
Day 9
After our day off in Helen it was a bit of a shock to the system to be hiking again. This day was the windiest and coldest yet. We ended up hiking further than we’d planned in order to get to a lower elevation out of the wind. It was once we got to camp that my day got interesting.
As evening drew in I started to try and hang my bear bag. My bear bag is just a dry sack in which I put all my food, ...

Gear Review: Therm-a-Rest Oberon Zero-Degree Sleeping Bag
The Therm-a-Rest Oberon is Therm-a-Rest’s newest zero-degree sleeping bag, weighing in at 2.5 pounds. This bag has all the trappings of a protective sleep system, including a 20D DWR shell fabric, deep hood, generous draft collar, and piles of 800-fill treated goose down. On top of being a high-quality zero-degree, the Oberon is pretty. Check out that gradient folks. This might be one of the most attractive pieces of gear I own.
Anyway. Here’s my rundown on the Therm-a-Rest Oberon, ...
