Hi there everyone. My name is Leon Roode aka The Bush Pig. I am a Kiwi who is living in Hokkaido Japan for over 10 years runing guided treks in the mountains of Hokkaido . I am also a trekking guide with over 25 years of experience in the outdoors. I am more than happy to give any advice if I can and help out anyway I can. If you are every thinking about heading to japan and need a guide be sure to look me up or drop me an email.  Checkout my two site at the bottom here .

Bush Pig, I was checking out your personal web-pages for your trips. Beautiful country side you have access too. The photos are just awesome. I've always wanted to hike and tour through Alaska - I think now I want to see Japan as well. It'll be a few years though - I plan to go to Montana - usa next year on a hunting trip. I plan to dig more into your web-sites later on tonight. Please check out my introduction pages. Take care. LR

Cheers Little Rock. I think if I was living in the USA, you would never get me out of the mountains or off the trails there. I am sure my wife wouldn't like that. If you haven't already done it, you may want to check out a article I wrote for ABC-of-Hiking about my neck of the woods http://www.abc-of-hiking.com/info/hiking-in-hokkaido.asp. If or when you ever get over and you need a place to crash for a few nights, me and my wife would be more than happy to have you or anyone stay with us. I hope you are finding good advice on this board Litle Rock.
