Howdy folks

                    So we’re at 11 days till take off and finally everything is here and packed ready to roll. For anyone just joining in,  here is a link to a fundraiser I’ve created to help support families with memorial services and to help ease the pain enduring the costs for burial services.    https://gofund.me/a0dd5dab  Please click and/or share the link with as many people as you can. Every little bit goes a long way. The funds raised are not for me. If I reach my goal I will donate $10,000 to 5 foundations supporting suicide awareness and prevention.  I want to thank everyone that has shown support through sharing a name/names, gifts, shares, monetary donations, and following along. The amount of names I’ve received is overwhelming as there shouldn’t be any names to share. We need to do better. We need to be aware and help prevent suicide before we lose another loved one. No one should ever fee...

My Gear List and How I’ve Decided To Prep

❤️ First and foremost I’d like to thank everyone that has contributed to the journey. It means the absolute world to me to get the support I received from some many. My heart is warm with love. Thank you!!!!❤️ For the gear list I’ve curated what I think is to be some of the best equipment I’ve known and grown to love over the years through use. It’s so tiring trying to read reviews of equipment nowadays when so many people live their lives trashing companies and gear online like it’s their religion. They just don’t make sense to me. I figure I’ll try some new items this time around and make my own assumptions and if it fails it fails, if it rocks well than I’ll be stoked. I’ll start with my shelter / sleep system. SHELTER/SLEEP SYSTEM: -Eno TechNest Hammock -Eno HouseFly Rain Tarp -Nemo Equipment Switchback Foam Sleeping Pad -Six Moon Drop Cloth 36”x82” -Karrimor Waterproof Bivy -Enlightened Equipment Convert 20 degree sleeping bag/quilt -Ursack Bear Bag -Paracord 50’ -Titanium Tent St...

Ummmmm…. Are we sure about this?

Welp here we go kids.  It’s the 22nd of February and I’m sittin here on my sisters couch watching the rain fly while my anxiety is growing. We’re getting close kids. Just about 20 days till I take on a challenge I honestly thought I’d never take on. I’ve Always wanted to but never thought I’d get the chance to take on this journey in this life time. Unfortunately or maybe it is fortunate things changed in my life and I moved home to be closer to my friends and family. Prior to my move home I had an epiphany and decided what the hell? Let’s hike the Appalachian trail before it’s to late. Let’s take on a journey so I can get out of dodge, cleanse my soul and find my happiness again. Some of you may have read my other blog which was put on a stand still as I need to focus on the good things in my life right now. I was headed down a dark path of self destruction and I was hurting someone I loved very much and she was the last person on this earth that deserved any of my mess. I miss he...
