Orange?

Orange is one of favorite colors, black is the other. Hmmm....

Fatback Titanium - The Adventure Continues!

This has been a great snow year in North Central Idaho which means continuous adventure on the Fatback titanium. Getting out in the back country during winter is so incredible, it's simply amazing. Trying to describe what I see is not possible without taking you there. I've been a back country person all my life and winter experiences are my most memorable in both fun adventure and hard learning experiences. You learn what works and what to do in a hurry by putting yourself in survival training every time you venture out. 

Can you survive overnight with what you carry with you? I can probably survive many days without issue. Be prepared to pay for the unexpected and keep it in your mind at all times (even in the summer). 

Get out and enjoy the world around you, go on an adventure!

Chillin'the Fat

Chillin' the Fat today. Temperature was a tropical 11 degrees up on the mountain. I was warm enough and good for 20+ mile fatbike ride. It's a great time of the year to get out and play...Go do it!

The Last Day

This was the last day of 2016, but my first ride in over a month. In the latter part of November a fuel container exploded next to me lighting me up. For the most part I was miraculously OK. I did have severe burns to my left hand, minor burns to my face, left side and right hand. Plus a few of my favorite outdoor jacket layers were charcoal. The good part is that I'm alive, I didn't have to go to a burn center, or need anything drastic. But my left hand was a mess.

A month later and I can finally ride. My hand is sensitive to cold, but otherwise nearly new except for the very pink color.

I'm so happy that we have snow (and lots of it) and that I could end the year Fat!
