i got my pack off of moosejaw during a sale, after coming back from a backpacking trip with my buddies. I had gone stomping thru the U.K., but we were like gypsies then – not nearly as organized as these backpackers. With their camping stoves and their monitoring each ounce.

Quickly, my addiction to backpacking was gaining. I bought a Big Agnes Sleeping bag, because my old NorthFace that i grifted off my Dad had caught a snag, and had to be put down.

And then … sigh. i had to help out the Chinese by donating my single man backpacking tent and getting a great discount on a Marmot early light 2p.

i’m going whenever i can. L.I.B., and Angeles National Forest Kings Canyon/Sequoia, Inyo National Forest, John Muir Wilderness. I’m now looking at Canada … with wide eyes, and bushy tails.
