WELCOME

Thanks for stopping by. This blog is way for me to journal my hiking experiences, our family camping adventures and other musings. The purpose of this blog is to share these experiences with others, so that they may find an interest in getting out to explore the great outdoors more, and to be able to measure my own growth in the hobby of hiking and camping which has become such a fun pastime for me.

New Gear!

Well, I have made my next big gear purchase. I bought a brand new MSR Hubba single person tent from a hiker on one of the trail websites I look at. He was selling it as this was a give away to him from his outfitter after he had already purchased another tent. He invited me to speak with him on the phone and send me any photos. I have no doubt this is a good deal. I will save almost $75. No warranty, but MSR is well respected in the field. This tent weighs in at less than 3 lbs! A good thing since my pack is 6 pounds to begin with. I think of different packs, but I like what I have. The new tent will be very good in poor weather conditions. Next... I need a good sleeping bag.
