Just so the bidet bottle isn’t confused with a drinking bottle! Lol. #jmt2018 #bidet #bidetbottle#tbt to last Thursday. Camping at Piney Grove. Love this campground. And I’ve gotta say, it’s been interesting coming from tent camping for so long to a camper too... gotta admit, it’s pretty nice, although I’ve found that there are lots of bugs to work out too! Glad we finally gave this a try though. #rv #rvcamping #camper #traveltrailer #starcraft #autumnridge #21fb #pineygrove #campgroundFood for my first leg of this summers JMT hike. I’ll admit, I got a little nervous for a moment, but it all fit in my Bearikade Weekender! The bag of food on top will actually not stay in there at all since it will be the food that I will eat while hiking on the first day, as well as the first nights dinner will also be gone too... so there is actually a good bit of room left. This will be the most food I will carry at once though. There are 6 days of snacks, 5 breakfasts and 5 dinners in there. Note the total weight comes to 11 lbs 0.3 oz, however this includes the weight of my bear can of 32.6 oz. so total food weight (counting packaging) is 143.7 oz, or 8.98 lbs. And for those counting, that is about 1.63 pounds of food per day. Honestly, I am afraid this will be too much, especially for the first week, but I’ll see soon enough! Now it’s time to finish preparing the other 3 resupplies! #jmt2018 #johnmuirtrail #bearcan #bearikadeweekender #backpacking #hiking #food #foodprep #itsalmosttimeSomeone’s ready to go camping! #campingwithdogs #camping #rving #rvcamping #rvlife #starcraft #autumnridge #21fb #itsalmostfriday #likethegolden #whosthatdoggieinthedoorway20 days of lunch snacks for this summers JMT hike, all packed up. Just need to repackage the Cheez-It’s (will do closer to time). #jmt2018 #johnmuirtrail #foodprep #backpacking #hiking #nutrition #peanutmandms #protienbars #gatoradeproteinbar #gatorade #peanutbuttercrackers #honeystinger #fruitchews #organicwaffles #aclimatedrinkmix #emergencdrinkmix #cheezits #jerky #jerkyandcheese #skratchlabs #dailysnacks #lunchReally enjoyed pulling our camper down the Natchez Trace on the drive to Jackson, MS. Nice and slow, with plenty of great spots to pull over and let the dogs stretch their legs. And early morning, cloudy skies make for good photo ops too! #gorving #rvcamping #rv #camper #traveltrailer #bumperpull #StarcraftCamping #starcraft #autumnridge #21fb #nissan #pathfinder #natcheztrace #pulloff #cloudyskies #earlymorningphotography #iphonephotography #iphone8plus #wherethegreengrassgrows #adventureawaits- Follow Stick's Blog on WordPress.com

After much debate, I finally pulled the trigger on the famed Therm-A-Rest NeoAir. I had been wanting one of course since they came out, but I really didn’t want to spend the money. Besides, as a fairly new backpacker still, … Continue reading
