"Walking was the only activity for which my dispair made a small hollow." Wow. Powerful essay @rahawahaile!! Thank you for writing it. I hope we are walking away from what the last few years have represented. 👣👣👣👣

FOMO Prevention Inside: There is an amazing new contest from a million of your favorite backpacking brands, The Trek, and Garage Grown Gear. If you are on the Food for the Sole mailing list you saw this email come out: FOMO Prevention Inside: So it's a way to try and win a lot of sweet gear, but if you scroll to the bottom, you'll see a link to a blog post I wrote about JOMO, the antidote to FOMO. It's called deep time (aka thru-hiking). Read more here: https://www.foodforthesole.co/blog/deep-time-a-call-to-action-for-a-better-world

Geology 😍 One of the largest fault scarps in the country is pretty hard to get to. Only real way to access it? Walking. 👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣

Channeling my inner chipmunk

Is it real when you get the maps and guidebook in the mail? Hiking the 300ish mile Superior Hiking Trail this fall 👣👣👣🙌🤩

Looking for a new stove system this year? I reviewed the TOAKS Titanium alcohol stove and pot stand/wind screen on my blog: sherahikes.com What do I like about it? -It’s light: Stove – .7 oz, TiStand – 2.5 oz, 550ml Pot 2.6 oz, equals a total of 5.8 oz for your entire cook system. (the whisperlite stove ALONE weighs 15.2oz) - It’s efficient: 300ml of water boils in under 4 minutes - It can turn off: the lid snuffs out the flame - It’s sexy: the clean and simple lines and look of titanium are very visually appealing to this designer - It’s affordable: The stove retails at $39.95, the TiStand at $24.95, and the 550ml pot at $33.95 NOTE: alcohol stoves are not appropriate or allowed everywhere, especially in fire restricted areas. Please research if they are allowed before your backpacking trip

Great crowd last night for Wild Rivers Night in Bend 🤗 lots of great adventures shared on the stage, and more rivers added to my wish list. These remote wilderness packraft trips may be difficult and slow going, but the journey is the destination.

Visors are back!! Embroidered loveliness available in Royal Blue too. Shipping to Europe meow!

@OregonDesertTrail

Oregon company @sixmoondesigns has a pretty long history with the Oregon Desert Trail. Multiple hikers have used their packs, sun umbrellas, and shelters on thru-hikes of the trail, and this year we are stoked to welcome them on as one of our business members! Six Moon Designs held a fundraiser last month in Portland that raised almost $1,000 for ONDA, and they will have another exciting announcement about their support in the coming months. Thank you Six Moon Designs! photo by Whitney LaRuffa

Hiking season is right around the corner, or at least it feels like it with all this amazing weather we've been having lately. We'll be making a few small updates to our ODT materials in the coming weeks, nothing major! But we have a suggestion for you to consider if you are mailing out resupply packages to businesses along the route. Please buy a milkshake or even donate a few dollars for the service while you are in the business. Some of these remote locations have limited space and limited resources, and showing your appreciation really does go a long way towards developing ODT advocates along the route.

Folks are already taking advantage of this spring-like weather in Central Oregon to #getONDAtrail!

You know you wanna #getONDAtrail We made these for our trail work volunteers this year, but maybe you want one too? 2 trail maintenance trips scheduled this year on the ODT. Head to our website on Monday to register! Get the shirts at www.bonfire/store/oregon-natural-desert-association

When I'm not backpacking, I'm probably packrafting.
