EISPIRATEN

i forgot i was on the floor of the desert somehwere in utah. i thought i was at home. i felt like crap again.we woke up and had breakfast. corn meal is what we ate every damn morning from that moment on.no sugar nothing but some raisins from my gorp bag and a lil powder milk.we hiked all day and i w...

i love the fact that i havnt been on any of the great trails yet...
i really really cant wait to do this one...

on a hot summer night when the moon is bright
i'll climb high above the city light to a spot where
i can drink and smoke and feel all right.

i hiked the trail at heaton flats up up and up before i even knew
anything about IRON MT. i've only been as far as the flat spot
before ascending the ridge.

this trip report has inspired me to go back...thanks...it looks like fun
im going to camp on the summit of every peak i can.

reading this thread makes me realize i need to get out more. there are so many trails to do.. each trail has something unique to offer.its hard to pick a favorite. im going to have to vote for EAST FORK SAN GABRIEL RIVER it has a lil bit of everything thats needed for a good adventure there are some...

i started really "hiking" 2004 when my lil girl was born. we have so much fun on trails im pretty much going to hike till i cant walk anymore i love it when my alarm goes off at 4am on saturday morning everything is dark and quiet and as im putting on my hiking shoes my lil 4 year old daug...

i grew up around people who do things like break in cars and spray paint everything in sight. i am not afraid to confront and stop people who disrespect nature most people are either tweakers looking to come up on anything or angry kids who just want to destroy shit... i was camping at chilao one ni...

i'm willing to take one for the team. if any of you hikers have a really nice car maybe we can leave it somewhere and hide out when the vandals come by we will make examples out of them i really hope i never catch anyone acting shady up in the mountains i have zero tolerance and im sure my punishmen...

i really cant think of any downsides
the extra weight isnt much
and its nice to have the extra room

mt.wilson toll road was the first trail i ever did solo. i started on a hot hot summer morning with a 35lb pack [training] that trail kicked my ass bad. on the way back i think i suffered some heat exhaustion i was throwing up and my legs were cramping bad i was sweting but my skin was cold i fell a...

how long was the trip to baden powell.

i got me a bearvault 400 that i bought last summer for my JMT solo hike
its a bit much for overnighters but its convonient...everything fits

little jimmy camp have any of you ever spent the night here.? does the campground have nice views..? is there a lot of tree cover or can you stars? do you think there would snow still? how are the local bears in may? what about the trail to mt.islip..is there any narrow drop offs im taking my lil gi...

just the paper...other remains were left buriied 6-8 inches down
when we would meet up with our resupply they would pack out our trash
very humbling

i was lucky enough to be considered for a "wilderness therapy" program i got myself into quite a bit of trouble as a teen.i guess i made an impression on my probation officer and instead of going to camp or juvy i got sent to this program for at-risk youth. it was a total surprise for me.i...

i spent 54 days and long nights up in utah's "capitol reef" nat.park. for all those days i had to wear the same clothes and we had no soap only the river to clean ourselves.we had to hike like 10-15 miles a day. i could go on for a while about all the crazy things that happened in those da...

a job interview..if you can,would you take some pics
of the trail camps along the way.[devore,westfork,valley forge]

on saturday morning my 4 year old daughter , her mom [non-hiker] , and myself left for azuza.we arrived by 7am and started our walk. its about 4.5 miles to the bridge.i knew that was a bit much to ask so i was content just walking as far as they wanted to go.then we could have some lunch and swim an...
