it's random and all. share yours. here's my wisdom for today:
stop to admire the view now, not on the way back.

leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures, kill nothing but time. don't get all worked up on the little stuff and yes to enjoy the scenery, stop and raise your arms high up in the air and feel it

how poetic....but true. and don't let those backpacker movies get to you. it's good to have an open-minded approach. never forget your water purifiers and malaria pills. dirty water and dirty mosquitoes are the only things in my opinion that can kill you.

...and if a 6 turned out to be 9, i don't mind. i don't mind...

a friend who spends a week alone in the wilderness with you and still talks to you in the truck on the 1,000 mile ride home is a true friend

- I rather take it and not need it than need it and not have it
- The longer you do it the better you become
- The best ice-breaker on the trail is a friendly smile
- The more experience you get the more chances you take, always take a map
