I grew up walking in the woods on pine needle laden game trails and atv routes, and over palmetto lined marshes. When in my 20’s I got into recreating on public lands, I reconnected to my roots in some fundemental ways, I suppose. It came naturally. The more miles I walked, the more I helplessly saw the planet for what it was, what it is, and what it could be again. Public lands are precious. Private lands are too. My love affair with the natural world has radically shaped and changed the way I move through our anthropogenic one, from the way I care for my domestic pets in order to protect wildlife, to carrying a trash bag so that I can pick up trash on trails, roadsides, etc. To driving slower, to donating to local wildlife programs in my state. Recreating on public lands reminds me how much we have to gain by reconnecting with our planet, and how much we have to lose when we behave in ways that cause damage. Gaia is a great teacher, and worth all effort to protect from human greed and ego. It’s impossible to live a life on this earth entirely flawless, and without leaving a carbon footprint. But those little things we do, and those attitudes we hold daily, can have significant effects on the world around us. We are connected to the planet and all wild beings even still. Next week I’ll be finally sharing some work I shot on a 50 mile solo trek out west. Thanks to Hyperlite Mountain gear’s camera pod, I was able to tote my Fuji TX1 safely and comfortably on my adventure. Stay tuned!

The 11 Best Camping Tents for 2021
Temple calls this light-weight option from Big Agnes “a tent that has the solo adventurer in thoughts.” He provides that “its simple, linked poles percent small and make installation smooth, it gives correct headroom, and has space inside the vestibule to save tools.”
The tent weighs much less than kilos and rolls up to a four-inch by using 19-inch package, so it may tuck into or strap onto any % of first rate dimensions. While the footprint isn’t a great deal larger than area to deal with your dozing bag and p.C., the tent is tall enough for even a bigger camper to sit completely upright for consolation. And with the fly cover secured, you’ll live dry and heat even when rain and wind come blowing through thanks to an outdoors water resistant coating and completely taped seams.
"A solid all-round tenting tent that’s easy to installation with a strong layout,” the Base Camp is a client and body of workers favorite at REI, according to Temple. “It additionally comes with a complete rain fly retaining you comfortable and secure whilst weather turns adventurous.” At almost 21 kilos it's far at the heavier aspect, but that fits in with recommendation from McConaughy, who says that for car camping, when you might get to the web page properly after darkish (and maybe in the rain), “you want a brief set up tent that handles rain properly. And don’t fear about a larger tent, due to the fact weight isn't always a issue right here.”
Practice placing this tent up a least a half of-dozen times within the comfort of your own yard or living room earlier than you try to pitch it within the backwoods, because there may be a specific gaining knowledge of curve to Hyperlite Mountain Gear tents (I understand from enjoy). But with the brought complexity of setup comes this kind of reduction in equipment weight that if you’re trekking on a multi-day journey or mountaineering a mountain, the effort and the fee tag are well well worth it.
This tent weighs in just shy of 19 oz — lighter than maximum water bottles — yet it can maintain you warm, dry and secure even in high Alpine situations. McConaughy agrees that such “ultralight pyramid tents that depend on a hiking pole and stakes to stay inside the floor... Are obviously extra technical to installation.” But that comically low weight makes this tent a great choice while every ounce counts.
If you need a tent that can simply preserve you safe and relaxed 365-days a 12 months, you’ll need to make investments within the TNF Mountain 25, which Temple calls: “One of the maximum depended on, lengthy-status tents for all-season adventures. While now not the lightest, [the Mountain 25] is one of the maximum stalwart in unfavorable situations. [It has a] roomy indoors and doors and vestibules that help hold gear dry and organized.”
This tent has been examined in temperatures down to -60°F that one might come across within the Arctic or Antarctic, and it may cope with heavy snow hundreds, riding winds and buckets of rain. Plus eight interior wallet help with employer, which come in available while you’re caught interior for days on end.

Winter hiking Mt Bogong in a storm + gear you need to hike Mt Bogong
If you just want to read about the gear I used scroll to the bottom of the page. The best snow season in over 10 years.. This weekend another trip up to Mt Bogong was on the cards. After the best snow season in over 10 years, over two meters of hard pack and some fresh new falls I figured it was time to make the most of it. We planned to camp on the summit and watch the sunrise - things turned out VERY differently I met up with some hikers from Melbourne Uni Mountaineering Club (MUMC) and we headed up the Staircase Spur. The weather forecast was for rain and snow on Saturday and fine and sunny skies on Sunday and the plan was to camp on the summit and enjoy the sunrise. Needless to say, things didn’t quite go as planned. Climbing the Staircase Spur By the start of the steep Staircase Spur section people were lagging a little so Tim (who I’d only just met that morning) and I decided to go ahead and then wait at or near the summit for the rest of the group. A storm arrives from nowhere blanketing us in deep snow An hour later and less than a kilometer from the top and a storm rolled in. Visibility dramatically reduced in seconds and, with some of the 2.5 meter snow poles completely buried it became hard to distinguish parts of the route. At one section the snow was so deep and powdery we had to drag ourselves onto a ridge using only our upper body. HIking through the deep snow takes a toll and temperatures suddenly drop The final 400 meter push seemed to go on forever, the wind picking up and driving into us with violence, at times making us crouch down just to stay in the same place. As soon as we got to the top the temperature dramtically fell to minus 8, so we both stripped down as fast as we could and as quickly as we could manage threw on all of the clothes we had in our packs. Too late to turn back in the storm so we make a hasty decision... Too cold to stay where we were, and not wanting to head straight back down the way we’d come fearing the others might have completely turned back, (meaning we'd be risking having to come straight back up again if the weather cleared), we decided to head across the Bogong massif to Cleve Cole hut, a 4-5 km trek. Mt Bogong tries to kill me - I've never been in a storm like this! The combination of blustering wind and snow ripping into our faces and trying to blow us off the ridge, low visibility and freezing temperature meant that even though it was downhill, it was probably the hardest hour of hiking I’ve ever done. Shivering uncontrollably By the time we finally made it to the hut we were both shivering and chattering uncontrollably. The sight of a tiny old coonara with a burning (smoking) log in it and a couple of boarders huddled around in their down gear drinking whisky was a comfort to behold; we both breathed a sigh of relief, but tried not to make it too obvious just how relieved to be out of the storm we really were… Setting up the tent on the top of Mt Bogong in the snow (see photos below) With music still belting out of the hut at 10pm, and snow and wind still howling and thrashing outside I decided I couldn't put if off any longer, it was time to head out and set up my tent. It proved to be far harder than I’d imagined... After about half an hour of shoveling snow and then trying to put it up without the tent flying off out of my hands into the sky I was spent… Finally by 11 I got into my sleeping bag and crashed out, only to be woken what felt like one minute later at sunrise by a screaming, gurgling stomach and a full bladder. The storm passes and a beautiful sunrise greets me (see photos below) After a mad toilet dash (I had diarrhea) I realised I was half glad to be woken up; the skies had cleared and the wind had vanished, and as I laid in the tent watching the first glows of the sun slowly rise over the snow-capped mountains I couldn’t help but be amazed by the beauty of such a sudden transformation. Eventually, little by little the sun edged its way above the white highlands and landed on my face, spreading a miraculous warmth all through me that turned the freeze of the night before into a distant memory. Heading down the Icy Winter bitten Eskdale Spur On the way back I found my now frozen water bottle (pictured) that I'd lost in the storm the night before. Ironically I only had it for another kilometre before I lost it again on a high speed sliding tumble on a steeper icy section of the Eskdale Spur. 16 kilometers of mostly a downhill stumble, and a few deeper than expected river crossings / dashes later and I'm reunited with the others. Naked girls at Mt Bogong in winter - seriously Some of them are already tending to huge scary looking blisters and others, are to my surprise, acutely preoccupied with ripping their gear off and jumping, completely naked, into the icy cold river in full sight of a young family eating lunch... (sorry guys, no pics were taken of the girls ;) Gear I recommend you take during winter for your hike up Mt Bogong: 1. A good quality Mountaineering tent - I recommend the latest vrersion of the Black Diamond Hilight 2 tent. Or get the Higlight 3 if there are 2 of you. I have used the original Black Diamond Hilight tent (the yellow version) on many Mountaineering trips (proababy about 20) and it has been awesone. 2. A sleepling bag with minimum 800 down fill. DO NOT get a sleeping bag and ignore the comfort rating. If you go by the extreme rating you will be extremely unfomfortable. I have a a Mountain Hardwear Phantom sleeping bag rated to minus 18C (comfort). 3. Get a good water resistant super lightweight (why carry more weight than you have to, especially if you get caught in a Bogong storm!) backpack from the guys at Hyperlite Mountain Gear (my dad loves them so much he has 3!). They make the best lightweight backpacks in the world - that's not an exaggeration. 4. Proper warm socks. Lots of people wear normal hiking socks in winter and then complain about cold feet. Don't do that, get some proper winter mountaineering socks. See this article about the best mountaineering socks in 2020. 5. A down jacket with a minimum fill quality rating of 800 (lots of cheaper jackets use cheaper quality down like 600 down). I have this lightweight down jacket, (it's on sale right now for a great price) I bought it AFTER this hike. I have now used it several times and WISH i had have had it on my freezing Mt Bogong hike.

TOP 3 BEST BACKPACK FOR HIKING AND TRAVEL OF 2020
Backpacking is self-contained camp in which you carry all the resources on your back that you will need for your pre-determined time on the trail.

Pacific Crest Trail. It’s been an idea I’ve had for a couple years now, to hike from Mexico to Canada. The distance is intimidating - 2,650 Miles - it sounds bigger when you say it out loud, a lot of things do. It’s going to be uncomfortable in more ways that I can imagine right now and it will test my will and endurance without a doubt, but I’m ready for the dirt. On May 10th I’ll find myself in the desert of California, walking north.

Original caption:
Alaska’s Seward Peninsula lies just below the Arctic Circle. The protuberant peninsula is the millennia old home to the Inupiat Eskimo, situated in the northwest of Alaska - a land that stirs the adventurer’s spirit and kindles the insatiable. Visions of paleo-Arctic ancestors, sweeping tundra, rugged mountains, winding rivers, compacted beaches, intact ecosystems, and a land before contemporary time excite the Iglaak – the traveler, stranger, and visitor.
This three-minute film is a snapshot of a fat-bike and packraft tour through the Imuruk Basin, the villages of Mary's Igloo, Brevig Mission, Teller, and Nome.
