The first day of setup for the 184 mile trek across the western desert of Utah. Yeehaww!

The Pony Loop
Eight years ago I packed up my Corgi, threw her in the car, and we went for a little drive in a chaotic and unspecific westerly direction. I'd seen a lot of Utah having grown up here, but the west desert was kind of an unknown to me, and I found its quiet and dry …
A Day on the Highline, High Uintas
Day-long trips to the mountains have their place in my heart, but overnighting in the middle of the backcountry is where the love is. Another short day of work lead to enough time for two nights in the wilderness, and I knew precisely where I’d spend them. The High Uintas is littered with remote backcountry …
A tribute to Washington
I've really chilled out on how I edit videos recently in favor of a more quiet kinda dealeo. The excitement of all this long hiking stuff changed a bit for me, and I found myself enjoying hearing the wind or birds or just crunchy footsteps a bit more compared to a musical montage. But I …
Routin’ away all day
While I work on the route I'll be prodding at this summer sometimes I kinda feel the urge to talk about it, so I did that and filmed it a bit. This is going to be a lot of work and will take a while to flesh out, so I thought having a record of …
The Road Ahead
I apologize for always using sappy ambiguous headlines, I don't know what to title my stuff half of the time (see: my recent Youtube video titles such as "Evocative Video Title" and "Some Mountains and Stuff"). I've been thinking a lot about what life is going to be like without a long hike to embark …
Another “So You Want to go Out on a Long Hike” Guide/FAQ
I remember how overwhelming my first hike felt.

Ending an Era (for now?)
Well this site is about as neglected as my normal life has been the last three years. In short I'm gonna be active here again as opposed to other avenues largely because it's more enjoyable, and partly because stuff like Instagram isn't exactly my favorite cause I'm just not a huge fan of social media. …
PCT Preppin’…. Again..
Same shit different year, right? Well kind of. I'm going all out prepping for the PCT in 2018. I did the same in 2016 but my version of going all out focused on a lot of the wrong things, and certain aspects of prepping dominated my time because I didn't have a firm grasp on …
Video Preview
Since I'm back with all this footage on my hands I decided to throw a little preview together of what's to come. I wish I could start editing in full right now but my laptop can't do all the things I need it to. It's like 10 years old, the screen is in a constant …
