All (or almost all) my gear for what I’ve decided to call Bastian's Big Backpacking Voyage 2024 (), six weeks (or so) of and in the south of France. A total of 11kg, not counting food and water, which is about 2-3kg more than I’d like, so now comes the fun part of trying to whittle off any excess weight (like that giant roll of duck tape). With a limited budget I had to make some compromises, though, so I might not be able to reduce it as much as I’d like.

My trip earlier this month was one of my favorite types-- followed water almost to the summit of the mountain! 8 of the 9 miles (one-way) was either along a river or . So beautiful to watch and hear the sound of rushing water while . The enjoyment extended into the night-- eating by the stream and falling asleep listening to its sounds! White , .

Photo looking upstream of Black Brook. Photo taken while standing near the middle of stream and near water level. Water is seen rushing over the large tan boulders and toward the camera. The brook is relatively wide here. Green trees are shown along banks of this brook. This water crossing is at the site of my campsite. I ate dinner and breakfast at this crossing and slept in my hammock near it.
Photo looking across Black Brook as viewed from bank of brook. Water is shown rushing over a nearly straight line of large tan and brown boulders. Green trees on opposite side of brook. This photo taken at water crossing where my campsite was. I ate dinner and breakfast here, as well as slept in my hammock near here.
Photo looking upstream of Black Brook. This is the last water crossing before the summit of Bondcliff mountain. This is about one mile from the summit. The brook looks completely different than the other pics taken at a lower elevation. It is now quite steep and narrow and consists of a series of narrow waterfalls cascading down large tan boulders. Green trees line each side of the brook.

May 29, 1983, 41 years ago today: I began hiking exactly at 11:00 beneath a heavy overcast, but no rain. My first three miles were the climb up Big Bald.

This fine creature kept me company while I was eating dinner by a stream last week during my #backpacking trip in the White #Mountains, #NewHampshire. It just hung out on my boot while I enjoyed the sounds of the stream!

Continuing the biennial "completely rebuild my water filtration and storage system" (DIY quick release bite valve so I can plug in my gravity filter to the same inlet)

McKenzie River Trail: Part 1

I’m hanging out at the famous Blue Pool this morning eating lunch and drying out my tent. It rained a bit while I slept but was only misting by the time I was packing up. I’ve already covered a large portion of the trail last night and this morning. This trail is a gem, I love it out here. I believe the waterfall corridor is next. Just a quick post, more photos to come.

Dades gorge reached on the solar bicycle. This place is really beautiful. Very peaceful oasis in the mountain desert of Atlas.

Pacific Crest Trail: Part 1

Mount Hood looks stunning from up here on Table Mountain. I was informed by a frankly terrified-looking day hiker that black bears were seen up here last night. I’m proceeding with caution and will update you if I encounter them. 🐻🗻☀️

May 8, 1983, 41 years ago today: There is nothing like trying to pack up everything you own in a downpour. My sleeping bag was soaked, my tent was hopeless; everything was drenched. Adding insult to injury, the rain came to a dead stop about five minutes after I had finished packing.

May 3, 1983, 41 years ago today: At a spot called Three Forks, four miles from Springer Mountain, the Appalachian Trail crossed a fire road beside the convergence of three streams which had become raging torrents. A blinding mass of rain was creating a surreal, semi-aquatic woodland.

This video accurately shows what the Timberline Trail is like during peak season August/September. 40 mile backpacking loop. Self issued unlimited permits and $5 parking. Lots of campsites. Even if you’re from out of town the logistics are easy. Fly into PDX and rent a car for the ~2 hour drive or take the bus to Timberline Lodge. The views are amazing. I’ll probably do it again over a 3-day weekend in September if anyone is down.
