With school not starting for a few more days, I decided to take a ski adventure into the mountains. The plan was to drive up FR 517 until the snow stopped the truck and skin from there. Also part of the plan was to build a snow shelter, camp for the night, skin up some more and [...]

At the expense of throwing the defibrillator at this blog (see last post) I have to say that 7am MST is way too early to be using a plunger. A Folgers induced Vesuvius rocked the early morning silence on my block. It’s just as well though, I couldn’t sleep in. I had dreams of wolves and bears. [...]
2nd time this happened..coincidence?

I’m a trusting guy. So when I see a trail on a map I tend to believe it exists in real life. Although I should of known better seeing it was put together by a government entity. Bottom line, I lost the trail at no fault of my orienteering skills (I think) and ended up [...]
Stoked to hear there are woofs where I ride. Probably will spend the weekend riding the foothills using a lamb shank as my seat cushion. I’m currently in a wind tunnel designing a helmet whose air turbulence causes the high pitched whine of a dying coyote. My first assumption was that this was the a [...]
For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would ever go with a 4.7.

It’s May, the birds are chirping, flower are bloomin, and it’s time to go skiing this morning. On the snow by 8 I toured up a ridge. A veritable ghost-town. No other cars on the highway and no snowmobiles to be heard. I had the mountains to myself. About 200 yards up the hill I [...]
Singletrack mind

Every now and then you have a ride that you’ll remember for a while. A ride when the weather, the bike, the stamina, and the setting all kick some serious ass. My DIY projects were thwarted by faulty plumbing parts. The 80 degree partly cloudy weather also curb stomped my home improvement ambition. A few [...]
In a few months looking forward to 60 miles, 6 of the tallest peaks in the range, countless lakes, minimal supplies, a notepad, and days to myself. It’ll be interesting to see how fast I can run away.

If your ship doesn’t come in…

….then take out a PayDay loan and bribe the longshoremen to give you another ship. I think that’s how the old time saying goes. Times are tough. So tough in fact that I ‘ve decided to turn my empty dinner place setting into useful tools to actually put food on the table. My first attempt [...]
Off the Grid

No I’m not talking about lining my roof with 50K in solar panels so I can save 1k a year in power. I’m setting out on foot and leaving this world behind…at least for 6 days. Destination is wherever my machete guides me. I’ll likely be battling apex predators atop granite cliffs while a storm [...]

AFB… A Fishing Boat

Like most Americans I buy random crap on a whim from time to time. Actually, I once heard of a guy paying a fortune for a pallet of refurbished computer speakers. What a douche. Anyways, I purchased an Aviva Fishing Buddy (AFB) a while back. Not sure why as a 27 year old alpha male, [...]
