I just created a new web site for my Lake Tahoe Vacation Rental Many thanks to David Safanda for the new look!
For the first time in my life, I got to go to Tuolumne on opening day! Well, of course Tuolumne is always open. But it is not really accessible for most mortals until the Tioga road is plowed. This year marked the shortest time the Tioga Road had ever been closed: January - early May. How is Tuolumne? Magic.
After five months of boiling water and grillin burgers, the camping stove review is done! This was one of the longer reviews I have worked on but also the most fun. Why? Fire! Now I just need to figure out if camping grills are high enough priority… camping beer fridges… other ideas?
I just finished a backpacking chair review. Had a great time spending the last year camping, hiking, chilling at the park while testing these. Next up are the super deluxe camping chairs.
![On Sunday I got to take an awesome natural running coarse with Born To Run coach Eric Orton. This was through the Zozi Guru program. I’ve had to quit running since bad tendonitus, so hopefully Eric’s tips will get me back in action. Or at least make it so I can walk down hills.

Mountainboard Mt. Tam to Free Food with Boogie - OGL Gear Adventure #1
Full story here http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/a/11072/OGL-Gear-Adventure-1-Hike-Mt-Tam-and-Mo… of how I hiked to the top of Marin County’s Mt Tam and then mountainboarded down to my parents house.
Hey Chris, My brothers and i are planning to do the Salathe next summer. If we go at a busy time i am concerned the good bivy spots will be taken so i proposed bringing a porta ledge. My brother thinks this is a bad idea for several reasons...What do you think?
if you are going in one night, I would not bring a portaledge. if you are doing the route in two nights, a really light portaledge is great. problem is you can’t buy light portaledges right now. you have to find an old A5. what ledge do you have?
