Subscribing is the sure way to know you won’t miss a single notification of my latest posts, trip reports and recipes. Although I do share often on social media and hiking forums, folks report that not everything shows up in their feed. A newsletter goes out with what happened on the blog plus little tidbits and extras that didn’t make it into posts: advice on backpacking, tips on gear, motivation, pictures, etc. I hope you join me!
Here are some examples of what you can expect:
My wanderings in the wilderness and outdoors in general have had a profound impact on my life and how I view the world. In these posts, I share things I have learned along the trail.

I have been following a paleo lifestyle since 2012 and it has made all the difference in my health. I share not only recipes of foods I like to take on the trail with me, but dishes and snacks for road trips and restaurants I have visited on my travels that offered something for those choosing to eat for health themselves.
