When I am not working with technology, I can often be found in the backcountry; always happiest in the presence of mountains. In 2014 I successfully completed a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail with my three kids. I ...

That is an absolutely beautiful photo. Where is that?
This was taken on a trail called King's River Falls near Witter, Arkansas.
It follows the river for a little over a mile and comes to this incredibly waterfall that has carved out the rock into a bunch of channels. You can jump off the falls into the pool below (only about a 15 foot drop). This field felt out of place on the trail as it just sort of *appeared*. In the very back of the field sits an old decrepit homestead. It was stunning.
You guys should make a trip down to NW Arkansas! You wouldn't be disappointed!
OK, I'll play :-) My current favourite gear is:
- GoLite down quilt
- Therm-a-rest NeoAir Xlite short
- Therm-a-rest NeoAir pillow
- TarpTent Stratospire 2
- Sawer Mini water filter
- Camelback Podium water bottle
- Rab Xenon puffy jacket
- Patagonia Houdini wind shirt
- Patagonia R1 hoodie
I have a variety of stoves, and while all of them are OK, I am not absolutely in love with any :-)
How do you like that Tarptent? I've only tried a tarp shelter once, and actually really enjoyed it!
We used that TarpTent for almost the entire length of our AT thru-hike, and it is still going strong. I absolutely love it, one of my favourite two-man shelters to date. We liked it so much, that when my oldest daughter wanted a solo tent for the latter part of our thru-hike, we bought a TarpTent Notch, which was also fabulous. The prices are good, they are extremely functional, and have a decent amount of room. I am a huge fan... if that hasn't become apparent.
