Six From The Heart

I spent this weekend in the woods – submerged in the ether. Fall is always a special time for me to get out in the out there, but this year came on extra strong and having the ability to get away for two days right when the leaves were hitting their stride was nothing shortContinue reading “Six From The Heart”

Something in the way, Yeah…

Song lyrics are one of the most intoxicating ways to get words out. If you’re trying to get a message across or tell a story, having music accompany it has the potential to raise your intentions to new heights. They’re also memorable because they flow with a melody that causes the listener to retain itContinue reading “Something in the way, Yeah…”

Recipe: Baked Apples

I don’t write down recipes because I generally just figure out what the kids and I like and remember to make it again – as they are creatures of habit (all kids are). But when I find something that inspires me to take a day trip to Vermont, well then I figure that warrants notContinue reading “Recipe: Baked Apples”

It Starts With Fog | 9.28.22

Heading into the fog out here, you lose a second or two of seeing where you’re headed. It’s in that brief period of seemingly endless time where the mind wanders. Man, does it wander.

Most people see Spring and Summer as the ideal time to have an adventure in the great outdoors. Spring? YES!Summer? Not so much… This morning I woke up and it was 45 degrees before the sun crawled over the mountain. It’s only 48 now with the sun in my eyes – and all I wantContinue reading “Eden’s Shore”

There’s Always Airplane Mode…

Last week Elon Musk announced that he was going to launch more of his Starlink satellites into space so that some of the most remote locations on the planet would have cell service. Outlets like Outside and Gear Junkie picked up on the story, and – in accessing these articles on their respective social pagesContinue reading “There’s Always Airplane Mode…”

Needful Things: 210DX

It goes without saying that I’ve spent a little time on the mountain – but at one point it was a whole weekly to-do where The Wolf and I would get all sorts of food and drink, head out to where the woods twist and turn, have ourselves a fire, and get a good shineContinue reading “Needful Things: 210DX”

Gone Are The Days

The internet is really what struck the first tone of the death knell for brick and mortar retail experience; forcing retailers to decide if they wanted to focus on in-store sales or internet sales – or find the balance between both. Then, after years of finding what worked for their business model, Covid hit andContinue reading “Gone Are The Days”

The Reconnect

There was a time in my life where I was connected to the outdoor world through the people and gear. That connection enhanced everything I did outside, and – taking it step further – pushed to be more and do more when I was on one of my crazy adventures. I was in the middleContinue reading “The Reconnect”
