Embrace the suck!
That’s my motto. Or, at least, one of them. Another is that there is no such thing as bad weather. Just inadequate gear or preparation. My packs might weigh more than your average ultra lighter, but I would rather be comfortable and more importantly – PREPARED – when I could be days away from the exit.

Sylvania 2012 Part 5
Friday, July 06, 2012 We’re up a little earlier. Pancakes, the rest of the hash browns, and bacon for breakfast. We get it taken care of at a moderate pace and before long we’re ready to head out.

Stretch a bit and wait for the car to defog the glass (next time – sleep w/a window cracked!) and soon we’re on our way in the predawn dark towards Ely. In the sky overhead we see bands which we’re not sure if…
TFF 2015 Part 2
June 23 We spent a lot of time on the water today, once we got going. Our luck wasn’t that great during the early to mid afternoon, but once the shadows started to grow we started to see some interest. The minnows still can’t seem to find a taker, as everything we caught today was on my blue & pearl Baby Torpedo. At first, things were looking bleak for dinner as all we had on the…
