Sharing this again because I think we could all use a reminder to be grateful for indoor heat, reliable power, and hot showers... and democracy (whether the ones you voted for won or lost) for that matter.
I WILL be leading the 3 Passes Trek in Nepal in April 2022! Pondering hosting another trip to Pikey Peak in October 2022 as well. Mark your calendars and look out for a link to learn more and sign up 👋🏼🏔
Grateful 🙏🏼 for indoor heat, reliable power, and hot showers. None of which I had at the time I took this image a month ago. If you need an adventure to make your privileged ass feel grateful, come to Nepal with me this year! 💗✨👋🏼
My Pop gave me this pocket knife on my birthday when I was 8 or 9. We were in the middle of an eight day backpacking trip, but he brought ingredients for s’mores and this knife. His hiking partner Frank immediately put the knife on a string and put it around my neck. “There, you’re all set, now don’t cut yourself,” is what they said. Of course I did immediately, but I think I managed to hide it from them until the next day. Going to bed that night, I remember thinking a bear was definitely going to get me. It didn’t. I survived that trip and this one and I added a new element to my favorite twenty-year-old necklace. It’s an LED Inova microlight that operates with a thumb swipe instead of a button or switch. I freaking love this little thing and I might just say fuuuuck you to headlamps, cause mine always fail anyway and before headlamps I was just sticking my flashlight up in my beanie anyway. That’s right guys, I invented headlamps when I was seven and sure they were already invented, but my little kid brain didn’t know that so for all intents and purposes (BTW until 2017 I thought the phrase was ‘for all intensive purposes’) I invented headlamps and maybe I’m still learning the English language at nearly thirty, but whatevs y’all...
