The cabin was warm and breakfast was served in the office starting at 9 am so we didn't get an early start. Sleeping in a bed and having a hot meal cooked for us was totally worth the delay. We also stopped in on the hiker box at Mountain Crossings, a place for hikers to... Continue Reading →
The night wasn't windy, it was still a bit chilly but not the worst we'd been through so far. Leaving camp the trail started climbing almost right away up Blood Mountain. This had been hyped up as one of the hardest days but the climb really wasn't bad at all, it wasn't any harder than... Continue Reading →
Waking up the morning after a party is always a little slow and we weren't the only ones meandering out of camp around 10 am.

Summary and photos of my 43 mile training hike over President's Day weekend.
In today's video I describe how I transformed one of my trekking poles into a selfie stick. Combining these two tools, I have less weight to carry and I'll still be able to capture great content to share with you guys. https://youtu.be/6OEhWiqrYM0 Parts: Trekking Pole Electrical Tape 1/4"-20 bolt (as short as you can find)...
