Backpacking
"Are you saying, Dave, that I pay $250 for a pack and it doesn't have straps and it isn't waterproof? Does it have a bottom in it?" - Bill Bryson, A Walk in the Woods
What could be better than having everything you need on your back? I don't just mean everything you need to shoot photographs or explore for a day. I mean everything you need for life. It is the ultimate form of freedom, giving you the ability to come and go - to meander if you will - from place to place as you please.
Within the pages of this site, you will find how-to's for backpacking that go beyond the 'norms'. How do you get the most energy while carrying the least amount of food, how do you stay clean (aka don't eat junk pre-packaged meals) on a trip, and what gear have I found to be the most helpful. Furthermore, you will find personal reflections on the art of living with only that which you carry on your back.
