HikingI am a lover of long walks and type 2 fun! I enjoy thru-hiking first and foremost, but enjoy car camping, climbing, snow sports, traveling and just generally bring in the backcountry. I am passionate about making the outdoors accessible to marginalized communities as well as diversifying the outdoors!
What's your favorite Mountain House meal?My favorite Mountain House meal hands down is the Chicken & Dumplings. Nothing is better than enjoying a comfort meal in the backcountry!
What's your favorite place to hunt/hike/fish/camp/be?I feel most at home in any part of the Sierra Nevada range in California, but that's probably because my first backpacking trip was there. I also love the Olympics in Washington State because I spent my summers growing up camping there.
Top three pieces of gear that you never leave home without?My Film Camera, a Kula Cloth, and a fleece (I don't care if it's not ultralight, I love being cozy!)
What's one bucket list item you plan on checking off this year?Hoping to backpack in Glacier National Park this year!
