Never trust a jetboil lid
A weekend in Murdock Basin spent swimming in freezing water, cooking for friends, throwing rocks, and remembering that sometimes the best adventures are the simplest ones.
Feral Therapy
Three days on Teton Pass for Joey’s birthday, with hitchhiked shuttle laps, huge jumps, freezing lake swims, BB guns, beers, and one of the best campsites I’ve ever found. Also mosquitoes. So many mosquitoes.
Challenge Accepted
A one-night camp on Alexander Loop in the Uintas, where a bad forecast, a $30 tarp, soggy boots, and a surprise summer snowstorm turned into exactly the kind of challenge I was looking for.
Home, Tarp home
A one-night family campout near Soapstone with the whole crew, a tarp living room, wild kids, happy dogs, bad sleep, good bacon, and a quiet little clearing that’s starting to feel like ours.
Breaking Bread
Camp pizza, Spinal Tap, cast iron breakfasts, and creekside camping near Richfield, Utah. A weekend of mountain biking, breaking bread, and becoming fast friends around the fire.

New Boot Goofin’
A Ford Bronco shakedown drive through Sinbad Valley and Eagle Canyon in the San Rafael Swell.

A field note from Utah’s White Rim Road, following a bikepacking crew by Bronco support truck through Canyonlands, camp nights, mechanical issues, and long desert miles.
