As a child I spent my much of my summers in the woods and went on frequent car camping trips with my family. During college my opportunities to camp were limited and I found myself only camping once or twice every summer. After college I felt the desire to get back out there, so I went on a week long camping trip with a couple of buddies. That trip sparked my interest into moving towards a backpacking style of camping and I’ve been addicted to the hobby ever since.
This website will serve as my area to blog about the backpacking trips that I take as well as a place to share the equipment and methods that I use in the backcountry. I live in northwest Pennsylvania, so much of this information is dedicated to the nearby Allegheny National Forest. My goal is to map out each trail that I hike and provide detailed information that is often difficult to find.
Outside of hiking and backpacking my interests include video gaming, anything computer or technology related, and a desire to begin homebrewing beer.
