How to Climb a Mountain

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Hikers often feel looked down upon by ‘mountaineers‘. … But secretly we call them egotistical masochists.

They couldn’t be all that smart. :)

Why suffer freezing in a tent near the summit when they could be enjoying themselves (with us) down round the base of the mountain?

… for those thick-headed stubborn alpinists, here’s an important article from The Content Farm — How to Climb a Mountain

Thank Bernie Thornton for the link.


1700mi 90lbs lost in 3min

Sunday, January 15th, 2012

I’ve been following Kolby Kirkthe Hike Guy — for some years. This is his best work yet.

Recorded on the Pacific Crest Trail during the 2011 thu-hiking season. 159 days, 1,700 miles hiked, and ninety pounds lost. Make sure you watch it all the way to the end.

Click PLAY or watch it on Vimeo.

I’m thinking to do a week or two on the PCT in 2012. I’ll need Kolby’s top 5 PCT NECESSITIES.

I saw that in a Coombs, B.C. tourist market.

That post title was meant to explain that this is an instructional — best practice showering in the woods. Very helpful for dirty old hikers.
