I’ve backpacked through desert, high mountains, rain, and snow. Here’s a list of some of my favourite gear that comes with me no matter the terrain.

I was just shy of having hiked 200 miles through Oregon. I was exhausted and mentally bruised and had some decisions to make.

Hiking through Three Sisters Wilderness was a day full of lava rock, obsidian, and mountain views.

I had walked over 150 miles of Oregon by my twelfth day on the PCT and I was headed for one of the most beautiful sections of the state – the Three Sisters.

After ten days on trail I was dusty, dirty and bruised. It was time to get out of the woods and enjoy some luxuries in a nearby trail town.

Ten days of hiking leaves the body & mind weary. I had more snow to slog through & miles of burnt forest. My reward was the beauty of an old volcano.
