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 …
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

You're worried about getting to a town with no resupply options, you're worried you've planned each stretch out wrong, you're worried about conditions on trail hundreds of miles and months away from your computer desk with your haphazard notes with town names circled and lines connecting to …

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. …
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 …
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 …
