Backpacking Gear Retail Therapy - What I’d Buy

I’m sharing my picks for a little backpacking gear retail therapy. I’d grab the redesigned Alpenflow fuel transfer device, the AeroPress Go for my coffee fix, an Evolved Supply Co. pot for its style and function, and some awesome Hilltop Packs food bags and pouches. What would you buy?

A few frames from my upcoming thru-hiking film: “Finding Home”. It took a solid 5 years to actually get around to it, but I finally carved out the time to edit a film of my back-to-back treks of the Continental Divide Trail and Appalachian Trail in ’21 🎥 🏔️ 

Putting this documentary together was a magical trip down memory lane, and a fun story to tell. From getting buried by snow in the San Juans to nearly becoming a grizzly’s meal in Glacier, the eight months I spent on these two long trails were chock full of rowdy adventures and beautiful moments. I’m grateful for every one of them. The landscapes are unreal, but ultimately it’s the community you experience along the trail, and the fellow hikertrash you connect with, that is the lifeblood of a thru-hike.

This feature-length film is a pretty raw, emotional look at what my mind goes through on these long treks, and it feels vulnerable putting it into a visual story. Thru-hiking isn’t always pretty, physically or mentally, but that’s largely why we’re out there. After filming “To Measure a Mile” on the PCT, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to lean into documenting another thru, but in the end, I’m grateful I did. My goal with it is to provide some closure from all I experienced, and honor the people I shared this journey with.

I’ll be premiering the film on Saturday, September 19th in Flagstaff, Arizona at a small film festival in partnership with @evolvedsupplyco. The showings will include “Finding Home”, “The Khumbu”, and a sneak peak of a film @darwin_onthetrail and I are making of our bikepacking tour in Central Asia last year, called “Balance”. The event will start at 6pm MST. A link to all event info can be found in my bio. If you’re in the area, we’d be honored for you to swing by 🤙

After some showings, “Finding Home” will likely be posted in full on YouTube.

All proceeds from the Flagstaff event will be donated to the @aztassociation. Without the efforts of these trail organizations, these thru-hikes wouldn’t be possible.
