My Locale between trees
About Me I live in eastern Nevada at about 6500ft, right on the border of Great Basin National Park(Mt. Wheeler, 13,063"). Im a 26 year old child. I dont really work, so i hike/run/climb almost every day, usually just day hikes but overnights fairly often. As far as gear, i try to do everything as differently as possible. I like each piece to be uniquely mine in style and function. Switched to hammock when living on Maui for the last few years....don't plan on sleeping on the ground for a while. All Smiles.

If your torso sinking into a thick pad is enough to give you a headache, you should have the same problem on your mattress at home. So, its psychosomatic. Or perhaps the solution is a pill to fix y...

Just for ideas, or maybe for purchase, check out fanny/hydration packs made by GoLite and Innov8.

Cooking a steak
I like cooking on rocks as well, but in my experience it's hit or miss. About half the rocks I've used end up breaking, sometimes nearly exploding. I'm sure it has everything to do with...

Lid/grabber
That is pretty cool though. I was using my drain cover for a while. I wonder if that one can handle the heat. I had a basic white one and it did well but it didn't get direct flame.

Mug Lid
