General Update

I haven't kept this up very well, but here's a basic update:

Point One, Uno, the Key:

I leave in 6 weeks. Tomorrow. Scary.

Woo!

But seriously, mega-prep still to be done. I've bought most of my stuff... a few small things still hanging out. I'm working out regularly. I still want to get more in shape, and little lighter. I need to do a few more hikes, although I'm reasonably confident in my boots, and like my pack.

Also a major point: The trip is now paid for. Yay!

So, all in all, not bad, just lots of double checking, and continued focus on fitness and final prep. But still mainly daunting that it's ONLY 6 weeks away!

New Daypack

During my recent return to home (Calgary, woot!) went with the fam to MEC to pick up some gear... always tough shopping for this stuff in Memphis, which is not exactly an outdoor pursuits hotspot.

Anyways, long story short, my new daypack (the MEC Gladerunner) is apparently a "freeride daypack" so now I can hike my snowboard up mountains in the winter. All I know is that it does what I want, is the right size, and fit really well.
