2020-04-25T00:52:52+00:00

The first few months spent in my Winter Survival Shelter were a little challenging to say the least. Let's just say the Mr Heater Buddy I was relying on for heat was a little less than ideal... enter the Cubic mini wood stove. Thanks to a few of my subs

No Shelter – Backcountry camping in grizzly country

2019-10-10T23:52:02+00:00

I am a huge believer in less is more. I try to apply this way of thinking to every aspect of my life. The mere thought of rolling into a camp site in an RV or Camper with all the toys makes me feel a little queasy. Every now and

Wild Mountain Goats – AMAZING ROCK CLIMBERS!

2018-11-25T00:58:04+00:00

Being somewhat of a mountain goat myself I can really admire these amazing cliff climbers. Despite it's name the mountain goat is actually a member of the antelope family. Typically found in alpine regions, mountain goats are true masters of the mountain often found on rocky ledges and outcrops. This

The video you see here is one of the first hammock camping videos I shot. In the early hammock camping days I was trying all kinds of things to stay warm. I actually started out with just a sleeping bag and emergency blanket in Winter, those were tough lessons. I
