Let them go, let it go!

Finally autumn is here, nice cool weather. What a life it has been so far! I was thinking the other day, what is one piece of advice I would give my young self, if I could go back in time? Well, I think it would be "let them go, let it go". It is simple, it is not easy though. But if someone or something doesn't work, doesn't want, doesn't care, just let it go and carry on and enjoy your adventure!
Today finally I closed all WF accounts, my time and piece of mind was more valuable than their constant harassment without offering any tangible service, charging me for holding my money! What a joke! Now it is gone and I have a better service for free, just another new beginning.

"To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go."
~Mary Oliver

DIY ultralight pyramid tent for 2+ or 1+dog or 1+ bike

 This is my new DIY project. I have been making tents for last 5 years and I've tried different types. When I started backpacking I purchased a double wall, fully enclosed tent  (so called ultralight tent; market crap).  Most people don't really need these tents and they are not ultralight at all. I switched to a tarp when I started thru-hiking and I fell in love with it's simplicity. Tarp is fantastic. I tried copying zpacks solo tents then. It is a great design.   This time I was looking for a larger tent that can fit my dog as well and it's not as miserable looking as a tarp (people think you are broken!). I always resisted the idea of using a pyramid tent but after a lot of thoughts I settled down with a pyramid tent and I must confess this design offers fantastic features. Here how I did it.   Materials: I ordered all materials from:  https://ripstopbytheroll.com/   but I have used https://www.questoutfitters.com/ in the past and I enjoyed doing ...

Summer Solstice- Long Days Journey

Summer officially begins after the sun reaches the summer solstice, however people consider the time between the Memorial Day and the Labor Day as summer. The delayed warmth kicks in after the longest day and around here we are talking about temperatures above 100 F. From astronomical point of view there are two important reasons for this heat: the sun is higher in the sky and it remains in the sky for longer time because days are longer. These two effects combined, produce higher temperature. This is not a comfortable temperature or sometimes it is not safe for hiking. Thankfully I have so many projects to complete. For example I just finished sewing a new roof-bag. It turned out nice and we will see how it holds against elements. The fabric is ballistic nylon so my only concern is stitches and webbing. I may post a how to tutorial in future. Twyla and I are enjoying two walks a day and she can actually swim twice a day. What a blessing having her!  Another notable event is the su...
