If I do not return
I am venturing into North Cheyenne park with Becca. We will be gone hiking for only a little while. I have new socks and new hiking boots. We are slowly expanding our collection of hiking and backpacking gear. The main thing we are missing is the backpacks. We currently have good boots, a tent and one sleeping bag. We also have some other miscelaneouse stuff like water bottles, a folding saw, and small things like that. We are in need of some more durable hiking clothes, another sleeping bag, 2 lightweight sleeping pads, a smaller day-pack for Becca and a Larger backpack for myself, somewhere around 4000 in3.
And there is so much more that we will need, a stove, some cooking pots and utensils, compressions straps for the sleeping bags, food, more water bottles and reservoirs for the packs. All, in all it seems to take a lot of equipment to go out into the wilderness for a weekend. And a lot of money, but it’s nice to know that we are investing in something that we both really enjoy doing together. I really feel like hiking is a good join activity.
Though I think sometimes Becca and I have different goals when we go out. I enjoy the fresh air, and soaking up some nature and solitude. Becca focuses more on being together and talking while we hike. Which is fine.
I have other things to talk about but none of them are related to this current topic. So the geekery will have to wait until later. We are ready to go now anyways. If I go missing blame Becca. ^.^
