Not much going on here so I'll start of a thread. Any new equipment or adventures going on?

Just wrapped up 500 miles on the ODT - wild trip of wildflowers, snow, overfilled marshy walking, and intense thunderstorms. One hell of a trail!

Sounds awesome! post some pics!

LOL, I thought this was about ultralight aircraft (FAR 103) and I was gonna talk about my last adventure flying a few mornings ago w/ paramotor

Ultralight backpacking is cool too, although I haven't done much since I moved away from the west coast

Subbed!

Hiking season is starting for me. Got things lined up for the next three weekends (whoa). Need to plan out the rest of the season. Also just got a BareBoxer, which I am excited to try. I like the latch system, I struggle with the Bear Vault. Apparently I might be a bear...

I live in SE Idaho, so there are options 😁

Does hiking season ever really end? :) Though yeah, some times are much more challenging than others...here in SW Indiana it's thunderstorm season that gets to be a problem.

I just got back from 25 miles around the One Horse Gap area in the Shawnee National Forest (some pictures here). Hoping to get out to the Deam Wilderness (really should be "wilderness") in the Hoosier NF next week.

Haha! Winter is cross country skiing time, but I have yet to figure out how to do a winter camp over snow that's 6' deep and fluffy. Hello infinite postholes...

Thanks for sharing those pics, it's nice to see/learn about other areas.
