For 6-day 3-person trip we carried almost 20 lbs of food ... and then carried out every bit of the trash. Good food too! Especially the Gorp this year, best ever!
This backpack has the look of a drawstring backpack but without the drawstring. There are no zippers to deal with but items still remain secure with front snap closure. The backpack can be expanded by undoing the side snaps. How cool is that!

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.

In going back through past camp pictures it was quickly apparent that footsore311 and I have frequented the coast a great deal over the years. I also used to use my hammock much more often. Pictured here is my Kelty external frame backpack - a piece of gear that I rarely backpack with anymore, minus when stripped of the backpack and utilized as a packboard for coastal cleanup events.
Here's a few highlights from our 4 day backpacking trip into the Mt Jefferson Wilderness. The 5 mile hike into Carl Lake is lined with wild huckleberries and views of Mt. Jefferson.
From our base camp, we hiked the PCT and other trails with swimmable lakes. A true wilderness experience with only a few other campers.
The trailhead is accessed from the Jack Creek Trailhead off of Hwy 22, between Suttle Lake and Sisters (12 miles). It's about a 3 hour drive from Portland with about 5 miles of gravel.

The Picos de Europa (literally: "Peaks of Europe", often abbreviated in English to the Picos) is a range of mountains 20 km inland from the northern coast of Spain, forming part of the Cantabrian Mountains. A widely accepted origin for the name is that they were the first sight of Europe for ships arriving from the Americas.
The range consists of three major massifs: Central (also known as Urrieles), Eastern (Ándara) and Western (also known as the Picos de Cornión). The Central and Western massifs are separated by the 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) deep Cares Gorge (Garganta del Cares), with the village of Caín at its head.
Almost all of the rock in the Picos is limestone, and glacial action has contributed to create an impressive area of alpine karst. The highest peak is Torre de Cerredo, with an altitude of 2,650 metres. The area is popular with mountaineers, climbers and mountain walkers. There is a good network of well-established mountain refuges.

In a group of three, we visited and explored the area during late autumn (beginning of November), escaping crowds and enjoying bearable weather suitable for hiking; the weather could hardly be any better: we got a week full of splendid sunshine, and just after we left, first snow started to fall in high altitude areas of the Picos.
Instead of a week-long circular hike with heavy backpacks, we opted for three-night stays in the mountains (Refugio de Urriellu) and in the valley (Casa Cuevas in Caín); from these “base camps”, we were setting out on day-long day trips, going as much as light as possible. Picos de Europa are formed by a VERY rugged mountain terrain; daily altitude gains of 2000+ meters were not an exception during our hikes.
During the third day, we did a long and strenuous circular day hike to the north of Refugio Vega de Urriellu, first descending to Bulnes settlement and then hiking back across the Refugio Jou de los Cabrones (J. R Lueje) hut.
The brand of my favorite backpacks. I typically use a Camelbak when I'm hiking and throw my camera gear inside.

My first backpacking trip is done🙌 Steve and myself explored the Indian Heaven Wilderness in Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington, about two hour drive from Portland. We entered from the west via Forest Road 65 and the Thompson Lake Trailhead. About seven miles of one way hiking to our campsite at Bear Lake. The two night adventure featured: Through hikers (part of it involved the Pacific Crest Trail), alpine meadows, trees, lakes (there were A LOT), nudity, and of course lots and lots and lots of huckleberries! #backpacking #throughhike #indianheavenwilderness #giffordpinchotnationalforest

My 3 year old son started preschool this year... so I made him a backpack using MadeByRae's pattern. I added the exterior pocket... and button. Adorable fabric is "Oh Boy!" by David Walker from "Bolt Fabric Boutique" in Portland.
