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 …
What Happened
Here's a brief timeline of what's been going on. In 2019 I was about to set off on something big. I'd made a route of my own and I was gonna hike it, knowing too well deep down I probably wasn't totally ready for it; though I never have felt quite ready for anything I've …
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 …
Another “So You Want to go Out on a Long Hike” Guide/FAQ
I remember how overwhelming my first hike felt.

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 …

Another ending to another hike
So.. my hike on the Oregon Coast Trail is over. I was 10 days away from the finish line. 10 days! But my dad hurt his leg, the season was coming to a close, money dried up.. shit just kind of happens. Obviously I was really bummed out that it ended to put it lightly. …
Oregon Coast Trail: Days 1 – 5
I feel like such a stereotype right now blogging in an independent coffee shop. But the coffee is good and being cooped up in a hotel room sucks. Day 1 After being dropped off at a hiker/hiker campsite by my brother and mom, my dad and I set up camp and crashed with zero …
Misadventures of the Big Grey Dog
I got on my first bus in a little terminal in Salt Lake City. It was a shorter ride to Denver but as soon as I sat down I knew it would feel like an eternity. There was no leg room and my knees started to hurt within minutes of boarding, but hey it only …
