Backpacking, Camping


I 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 am a desert rat and love backpacking in the Southwest because I think it is an underrated area of the country and deserves more love!

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?

Hiking the Continental Divide Trail!
