Not much to see or say here. Sometimes all you need is a 10 mile hike, a bivy, a lake, the woods, a small campfire and 2 relaxing days of being immersed in it all.  Quiet time and a simple reset are always on my agenda.

” When I’m backpacking,  I’m backpacking. There is nothing else.  NO phone to answer,  no email to check,  no bills to pay,  no errands to run. Nothing but backpacking.  Sure there’s preparation,  gear to sort, meals to plan, routes to ponder. But once I start walking, a peace takes over, a simple joy like none other I’ve ever known. There are no distractions.  Nothing but Now.”    – Scot Stillman –

Thanks. Its a large MLD eVent Soul bivy. For reference I am 5’10,  190 lbs right now. There is plenty of room in there for myself and my empty pack/ gear.
