Journaling the Uncommon Paths

Image
Journaling on the trail allows me to connect with nature, capture its raw beauty, and reflect on my experiences during a hike or adventure. Whether I am trekking through rugged mountains, strolling along a quiet forest path, or hiking across desert landscapes, journaling deepens my connection to the environment and help me process the journey, both physically and mentally. The Perks for Journaling on the Trail: Mindfulness and Presence: Writing in a journal while on the trail encourages mindfulness—allows me to fully immerse myself in the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. The act of hiking my own hike forces me to be present, helping me absorb the beauty and serenity of the moment. Capturing the Moment: The outdoors is full of fleeting moments that can easily be forgotten, but journaling allows me to capture them. From the way the sunlight filters through the trees to the sound of a distant waterfall or the texture of moss on a rock, these small details bring my journey to life w...

Gear Review: MSR Hubba Hubba Solo, my first lightweight tent

Image
Twin Lakes - Desolation Wilderness The MSR Hubba Hubba Solo holds a special place in my gear collection—not just because it’s my first tent, but because it’s taught me so much about what to look for in a reliable shelter. Designed for solo hikers who value comfort, durability, and ease of use, this tent has been my trusty companion on early hiking adventures. Here’s an honest review based on my experience. Specs at a Glance Weight : 2 lbs 14 oz (trail weight) Setup : Freestanding Material : Ripstop nylon with Xtreme Shield waterproof coating Interior Dimensions : 85” x 30” floor space; 36” peak height Price : Around $450 What I Love About the MSR Hubba Hubba Solo Easy Setup  - The freestanding design is incredibly user-friendly, even for a beginner. Color-coded poles and clips make pitching straightforward and quick, which is a lifesaver after a long day of hiking. Spacious and Comfortable  - For a solo tent, the Hubba Hubba feels roomy. The 30-inch width provides enough space...

The Lost Art of Shitting in the Woods

Image
When nature calls in the backcountry, sometimes she  really  calls—loud and clear. For those who’ve ventured into the wild, the prospect of “shitting in the woods” is less a topic of polite conversation and more an inevitable reality of life on the trail. While it may not be glamorous, let’s dig in (pun intended) and explore the do’s, don’ts, and the hilarity that ensues when nature takes its course in the most liberating way. Step One: Location, Location, Location When scouting a bathroom spot, you have to think like a real estate agent. Your prime poop property must be: 1. 200 feet from water sources – because “shit floats” and no one wants a “poo creek” situation. 2. Away from the trail – because surprising hikers with your bare buns is  not the type of trail magic anyone wants. 3. Flat and stable ground – slopes are for skiing, not squatting. Bonus points for a scenic view, because why not? Who says nature’s call can’t come with a little ambiance? You ever wonder h...
