My old @zpacks Hexamid Solo Plus tarp and Hexanet set up at 11,500 feet at the base of Mt Whitney near Guitar Lake. Right after setting up we had to break down and move.... the rangers asked us not to set up on the grass. Made for a nice shot though! #leavenotrace #zpacks #hexamid #cubenfiber #mtwhitney #jmt2018 #johnmuirtrail #guitarlake #imissthetrailThe Instapot really is a handy appliance! Just made homemade potato salad with it (after building pressure the potatoes and eggs were done in only 4 minutes!) It should go great with the New York Strips that have been marinating since last night! Can’t wait for dinner!! #instapot #potatosalad #rvlife #glamping #dinnerMy breakfast view this morning! #breakfastwithaview #rvlife #glampingJust finished breakfast cooked on my Blackstone 22 (scrambled eggs, bacon and French toast) and now sitting back enjoying the view with a cup of coffee. It’s 49 degrees as of 8:50, and both, @goosefeetgear and @blackrockgear are keeping me warm. #itdontgetbetterthanthis #itsfriday #itsfinallygettingcold #blackrockgear #skullycap #goosefeetgear #downjacket #custom #pineygrove #campground #rvlife #glamping #camping #chillinJust chillin at the campground on this fine fall weekend... highs in the 60’s and lows in the 40’s calls for campfires and my new @blackrockgear skully cap. The down will come out later!! #blackrockgear #skullycap #camping #glamping #rvlife #itsfallyall #finallycoolerweather #timetostaywarm #starcraft #autumnridge #21fb #pineygrovecampground #campsiteonthewaterDo Golden’s shed??? I swept this up after about a minute of raking my fingers through Luke’s coat... I don’t think they ever stop shedding! And we do try and brush him everyday with an undercoat rake. Want to try a good slicker brush to though... #goldenretriever #doghair- Follow Stick's Blog on WordPress.com
