About Me Having been a backpacker off and on since the early 90's when a trip to Philmont infected me w/ the bug, I have transitioned over to a lighter kit. My first encounter with UL backpacking was some CDT thru-hikers I met in New Mexico. I went home and combed the web, found BPL, and the rest is history. Right now, I'm between jobs, working at a local running shop and have been doing a little freelance writing, hoping to find a voice for a writing career perhaps. Previously, I have obtained a meteorology degree and master's degree in secondary educ.

re: Robert
Small little world we live in Robert. I was stationed at Whiteman for 3 years and never set foot on the Katy. I think we tend to put off those trips close to home and next thing you know we've ...

re: digression
You see the order created by the coffee bean? Civilization depends on the bean. You start messing with the means to acquire its juices and all hell breaks loose. I'm going to add drinking re...

re: cook kits
Nice comparisons Joseph. "Now this kit is great! It's light, flexible, and durable. However, to purchase this kit, costs well over 100US dollars." True, about the same as a Je...

re: Water, etc.
Thanks for all the kind words. I really learned a lot on this hike. We can talk ourselves blue on the forums, but getting out there is the best way to learn. Short hikes close to home really captur...

re: jackets
While not an event jacket, I really like the Patagonia Rainshadow. I wear mine for rain and windy weather, as well as layering when it's too cool for a longsleeve shirt. On a recent outing I ha...

Tom, glad I put a smile on your face. Read a Captain Beefheart quote last night, "My smile is stuck, I can't go back to your frownland." Interesting that cars were brought up in th...
