    Mystery ranch Beartooth 80

    I just got my new Beartooth yesterday and it seems to be all I hoped for. I really like the access on this bag. I love my Marshal and metcalf for multi-day trips but I really think this pack solved some problems. So far I really cannot see a difference in guide light MT frame other than some...

    So late last year i posted about an illness I was having. We have run the gamut in testing, guessing. etc. i was about to go to a voodoo witch doctor because all other options had run out. Originally we thought i surely had west Nile virus, then it was even looking like it may be lymphoma. I...

    Mountain lion survivor interview

    This is long but it is an amazing story. It seems every keyboard warrior wants to point out it was a juvenile cat...yah we get it. Still an amazing story. This guy Travis seems like a very quick thinking, witty guy. That probably helped him greatly in this fight...

    My home town is gone!

    So I grew up in Paradise California. Prior to this week most of you had probably never even heard of this town. Now you see it on the news daily. I got into town for a little bit yesterday and what you see on the news does not do the magnitude of the disaster justice. It is gone. Everything is...
