Backpacking somewhere in Mississippi or possibly Alabama. (I didn't take this picture. I found it in a shoebox full of old pictures.)
Be chic. Be cool. Look good.
Your “make-the-train-ticket-lady-swoon” looks will give you an added advantage like getting the best seat, less queueing time on the counter and even getting your 10-bed hostel room booking upgraded to 5!

The Kelty MAP 3500 Three Day Assault Pack in Ocean Grey has been the preferred Military Assault Pack of the U.S. Navy SEALs for the past 6 years due to its rugged construction and superior design.
Here's a backpack I just made for myself. Cordura nylon,14x16x7", floating liner, curved straps, chisel bottom...

Legal and permitted (though you need a tiny footprint and have to haul your water up there). We shared it with a family of goats (though they went a little higher and stayed out of sight before we could get any pix). And, believe me ... I didn't saturate the color of that heather ... it was that vibrant ... the prettiest I've ever seen and feeling so fortunate to have it in my backyard.
It's technically illegal to camp on the beach in New Zealand, unless in a designated spot. The morning I went to shoot the sunrise at Cathedral Cove this late summer/early autumn, there were some European backpackers doing just that though. The beach at Cathedral Cove is at least 100 meters long. And the only people on the beach were these two campers (who I think we woke up), my husband and I, and a random Asian guy wandering around in full rain and winter gear. When i set up my shot, this girl walked into the surf and stood there. JUST as the sun came up. Prime light time. I was max 20 meters from the rock quite obviously shooting it with my tripod etc. There were acres of beach behind me. And she would not move. So now she is in my shot. Forever. I wish she would have moved. But now, we can all wonder what she thought she was doing there in my shot.

I recently put together a book for my dad that contained photographs of some of our many wilderness camps. I thought I would share some of those campviews and memories here.

What you can't really see in this picture is the elaborate chairs (and television, which we are pretending to watch) someone crafted out of rocks along the banks of the Elwha River. Elkhorn was our fourth - and final - night along the Olympic Traverse (Quinault to Elwha).
I love photography and backpacking. Then my brother introduced me to endurocross. It was only a matter of time when all 3 would combine.
And here is my first backpacking (motorcycle packing?), photography, enduro trip at Limasawa Island!
This is what the strapping looks like all sewn up before going on the backpack.
Cut 5 1/2 inch piece for lower cross strap, 12 inch piece for grab handle, 8 inch piece for sliding buckle piece, and 3 1/2 inch piece for fixed buckle piece. Shoulder/side straps are 20 inches on this backpack, but longer would be better for bigger toddlers.
First sew the slider pieces onto the shoulder/side straps. Measuring from the top of the slider buckle, mark at 2 1/2 & 3 1/2", 7 1/2", 13 & 14".
See detail pics for strap placement. I put the shoulder/side straps nearest the toddler's back, and the cross straps behind.
After threading shoulder straps through sliders, fold over 1/2" and sew.

All that standing up... time for a little reclining. I just love the shape of this backpack, its artful contours and minimalist appearance. And there are a number of nice touches throughout. And did I say it's extremely well made? Yeah, I probably did a few too many times.

Our first time staying at Mount Rainier National Park's Grand Park. Solo Kelty tents. External frame backpacks(!). I remember when we stopped at White River to obtain our permit we were required to watch a short film and prove we knew where we were going (and camping) by pointing out our destination on a map. It felt like a test. Thankfully, we passed.
