Profile

 Hello and welcome! Thanks for visiting my website. I enjoy connecting with the nature and sharing with others. I am an introvert but I love connecting with people. 

I enjoy all the ups and downs of being outdoor and I believe it is the best medicine for a fast life we may get trapped in. 

I appreciate your feedback and I will be more than happy to hear from you. Thanks for reading my journey and enjoy your journey. 

 

I enjoy all kinds of environments; deserts, mountains, lakes, sea, high plains, rivers but I am more obsessed with deserts for many years now. 
This is one the first thru-hikes I did back in 2015. It wasn't my first hike and at this time I was hiking for more than 7 years and I had finished working for a travel agency as a guide and adventure designer but this was a big turning point in understanding myself a little better. This bus is actually a bar in the middle nowhere, close to a small village store and next to a wheat farm!

I used to carry an old film camera and a very small (5 megapixel!) sport camera. This explains the low quality of the image but it means a lot. It also explains why I don't have many pictures of those years. I learned a lot since then. I used to regret not having a camera but now I think it was good but I wish I had a simple daily journal. 

These days I am taking it slowly. I think I have been in rush for many years and I have missed a lot of beautiful details. I have been obsessed with far away and I have missed my living backyard. I am learning from Twyla to see the nature with a pair of new eyes.

I live and travel with Twyla. She is excited about any adventure as much as I am.


Well a few more pictures and that's enough about me. Enjoy your adventure, I love to hear about your adventures!

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 ...

Weminuche wilderness, CDT section hike, Colorado

This was a wonderful hiking loop in Weminuche wilderness. I also section hiked one small part of the continental divide trail. The view is spectacular.

Installing DC to DC charger in Toyota Tacoma

 I had a difficult decision to make. Power is the most important problem in my trips and I was under impression that solar is the best option but I couldn't wrap my head around all the space I need for a decent setup. I don't think anything less than 200w is practical, considering cloudy days or shorter winter days. If you camp for a long time, solar is the best power option but I move and drive a lot. After a lot of research and up and down, I decided to go with a DC to DC charger. I know I can easily use a simple relay and don't spend a lot but I know for experience that any addition to car's electrical system should be taken more seriously. Saving extra $50 doesn't worth screwing around your car's electric system. You can easily put a lot of work load on the alternator and fry it in time. Out of many car problems, the alternator is the only one I don't hesitate to fix. Renege had a big sale so everything was a perfect match and I got my DC to DC charger. ...
