Growing up chasing trout around Wyoming, I had about a dozen packs – all for different things… and I was constantly unpacking and repacking based on what I thought I needed… I forgot things… I wished I had something I hadn’t packed… or I wished I had brought it in a bigger / smaller pack [...]
The life of the entrepreneur makes it rare for me to fish more than one day a week. These days, I’ve always got a pack to sew, a new design to finish, or a pile of email to answer. But last weekend, I got three consecutive days on the river – – – unheard of, [...]
Sept. 2nd 9:00am Arrived by train yesterday. Traveled an extra 4 hours by jeep to the NOLS base in Raniket. Finally we have entered into the mountains everyone’s spirits are high today. We met everyone at the base and made ourselves at home. This morning at breakfast either the spices or a food allergy made my throat lock [...]
I’d never been to Utah for a climbing trip, so when some friends were talking about going I was interested. I soon learned that the place they were headed (Indian Creek) was pure crack climbing–aka no footholds except for shoving your feet into the crack. I must say, this turned me off a bit so [...]
Mexico will always have a special place in my heart. It’s where I fell in love with Saltwater fishing. It’s where I realized that there are wild places in this world that are worth just skipping town and leaving everything behind. There’s something special about the small towns that bring in a fresh catch each [...]
Hey Y’all its been a fun and busy year so far. It’s finally nice to be back home able to relax and reflect on my future and mountaineering goals. I hope in the coming days to post and write more of my Adventures in the high Himalaya. With ever great adventure this one took lots [...]
I’m originally a Wyoming trout bum – and no matter where I live, I’ll always be that. I’m so fortunate to have had those years of angling in the Rockies – because I was surrounded by guys who knew a thing or two about catching trout, and plenty of places to teach myself the rest. [...]
Ugly T-shirts. Just like hideous sweaters, we’ve all got one. Every time we SHOULD see it out to the curb, the yard-sale, or the good-will bag, it magically reappears in the drawer, carefully folded and ready for one final wearing (or another 6 months in hiding). If yours is anything like mine, you’re almost afraid [...]
I may be an original Wyoming Trout Bum, but I’m quickly learning the awesomeness that is Saltwater – maybe ’12 will be the year for my first Striper, my first Tarpon, and my first Bonefish (among others I hope!). About a week ago, I shipped out a prize package for an event that we’re absolutely [...]
Every year the pains of losing our migratory gamefish to the warmer pastures of the south become nearly unbearable. When you spend nearly 3 months straight on the water during the summer months it’s hard to drop into a leisurely hibernation. That aching to wet a line soon overtakes any cautionary thoughts in opposition of [...]
