Planning a safari isn’t like planning to backpack the…

We did not know it at the time, but this hike into Onion Valley is the toughest single climb in the Sierra! As related to me, since I was called away, by our leader and Tim. Among other things it included three mountain passes, Kearsarge pass at 11, 823 feet, Glen Pass 11,978 feet, and Baxter Pass 12,300 feet. And a loop backpacking trail of almost thirty miles. (See our leader’s trail map.) With eighteen in the group, the adults were Tim, our leader, Steve, Jim A. and Gale. Some of the…

especially for those who spend all day outdoors. When purchasing wool clothing for your hunting expedition, you should always start with the basics.

While I love being outdoors snowboarding or strapping on snow shoes, there are times when I have to go from the outdoors into a restaurant with my family. Stylish, lightweight and protective are the words of the day for the pair of boots I needed. Thankfully, I found those boots in the Pajar Men's Trooper Snow boot. Actually, if I'm being honest, the wife picked out the style that she…

even when he couldn’t. The PCT hikers, her friends, made her feel like she could not quit, as if they depended on her. This helped her lessen her burden by making her keep going and on the way bettering herself. Cheryl even states at one point that hiking the PCT was the most challenging thing she had ever done. Before the trail she thought her mother dying, her self destruction, her divorce, everything, was the hardest thing she’d done, but now she knew. Being hard in different ways, the trail…

direction. The sky has two moods either happy: blue with cotton ball clouds or angry: a stormy scary black color. The air smells like sage and pine -- fresh and crisp. July, 2015, along with 11 close friends, 2 counselors, and a trip leader I went hiking in the backcountry of Wyoming on a 6 day backpacking trip. The air smells like sage and pine -- fresh and crisp, overpowers the salty, moist smell of the other hikers who have been outside just as long as I. The trail is dusty and smooth as we…

years ago, I’ve had an affinity for the Appalachian Trail. I’m constantly looking for excuses to mash our lives into the giant, 50 liter bags, and hit the trail for a few days. This past year, in early fall, I convinced my parents to don their sturdy boots and disappear into the wilds of bear state park with me for three days. We were dropped off at the top of Bear Mountain and, while my parents argued over directions, I wandered around the windswept ridge. The grasses that grew out of rocky…

For serious hunters, who climb deep mountains, spend hours in the jungle and travel to colder regions in search of animals, choosing the right hunting boot is always essential. You will not only need the best quality hunting boot, but you will also need a pair of comfortable and lightweight boots too.
