A day late and a dollar short, my bad. I started a job where I do a lot of job things. It's a lot of physical activity which is my favorite kind of job, but man did it wear me out the first little while. So I kinda fell asleep yesterday forgetting to upload the …

PCT Series: Wrightwood to Agua Dulce
If you read my journal you'd know this section was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I loved it so much and I also reached probably my largest level of frustration ever here as well (over nothing in particular). The Angeles National Forest was great. The hike back down to the desert along …
PCT Series: Big Bear to Wrightwood
The beginning of the PCT is epic in the truest sense of the word, then it kinda calms down a bit when you get to Big Bear for a stretch. It's beautiful of course through the majority of it, but there's a stretch where there's not really any view to sit down and admire. It's …
PCT Series: Julian to Idyllwild
So it's kinda the day before I upload my next video and I realized I forgot to post last week's video here. Whoops. I've been waiting a long time to throw this one together. Though I was perpetually around the corner from calamity after calamity, I really loved this section. Not only was it so …
Solo Hiking
So this is something I see pop up a lot. Solo hikers for some reason or another are kinda made out to be part of some fringe group when I feel it either is or should be a very normal thing. I see people glowing when they do their first solo trip which is a …
Budget Lightweight Setup
This is something I've been kinda playing with recently after looking back in horror of how much money I spent on all my hiking gear. Seeing people make the same mistakes I did is sad because - while it's their money, their comfort, their hike, etc - You're much better off keeping extra money in …
PCT Video Series: Campo to Julian
I'm all moved in! Kind of! I'm currently working on my computer on the floor like some kind of savage (and I wouldn't have it any other way) but I've been able to start working on getting all of my footage thrown together. Rather than doing a giant mega-movie I decided to release it in …
PCT 2016 Preview
I've been sitting on hundreds clips of footage for a couple months now just dying to start editing them together but my laptop's capability is limited and can only run very barebones software, so I have to wait until I can pull my PC out of storage. I can't do that until I have somewhere …
Gear Swappage
I was largely happy with the gear I took on the PCT as far as functionality goes. Everything worked enough to get me from A to B, but I did have some issues with my setup. I'll go over my final PCT gear list and list gripes I had with certain items once I'm settled …
Zion National Park
Ah, Zion. Land of the beginning, my first backpacking trip. Whenever I look back it just seems so perfect, almost no crowds, accessible trails, picturesque desert/canyon scenery. You seriously can not go wrong with this place, or at least that's what I thought when I made it my first real stop. On the way to …
