Yesterday I had the honor of celebrating the life of one of my idols, Glen Heggstad @locoviking, aka Glen the Kid (Berdoo HAMC). Glen carried everyone the same. We each knew a different version of him, depending on when we came into his orbit, but somehow it was always the same man. The one who pushed you to be better. The one who made you pay attention to the fact that you were still alive. Friends and family sat outside, the group kept small on purpose. I wish I had recorded all of the speeches, but I didn’t. Just watch these clips and you’ll understand exactly what he meant to everyone who crossed his path.

I don’t normally jump on social media trends but turns out #2016 was a pretty cool year. It was my third year in MI marketing and I had the privilege of meeting/interviewing absolute legends like @thecrystalmethod, @tonymaseratiofficial, @davepensado, @mrbillstunes, @kjsawka, @craigbauer_mixer, Dave Isaac, and so many more thanks to @glowchandra hooking it all up. It’s been a wild ride full of cool projects and amazing friendships since then, and I can’t wait to see what the next 10 brings 💪

Don’t go to Japan. Don’t sample the wide range of cuisine from all around the world. Don’t engage with chefs and performers hellbent on blowing your mind. Don’t eat convenience store snacks somehow absent of chemicals, added sugars, or trans fats. Skip the public transit system; too efficient. The language is complicated; not worth learning. Manners are overrated; easier to stay here where people are free to poop on the sidewalk, drive like a dick, and stand on whatever side of the escalator they so please.

For real though– love ‘merica, but Japan is amazing. 7 days is just enough to learn that a month wouldn’t be enough.

Post-cave expedition recovery in #HoiAn was lovely 🇻🇳 if you’re ever in town, try the egg white coffee ☕️

“Slippy; watch your head; stinging plants…” And repeat.

#sondoong is the largest #cave in the world- so large, you could supposedly land a 747 in parts of it. After a handful of explorers mapped the system, the cave was opened to hosted expeditions in 2010. Then, only 500 people per year were allowed inside- currently, 1000 people a year.

Someone on our trek did the math, and apparently fewer people have been inside this cave than have summitted Mt. Everest.

The pictures don’t do it justice; the proportions inside the cave are so massive that it completely throws off the senses. What looks like a patch of green you could wander into from camp is actually a football field-sized tangle of forest, accessible via no less than 45min of careful maneuvering along jagged rocks and steep cliffs.

Each of three main “dolines” are where the ceiling collapsed millions of years ago, forming a forest between sections of the cave over time. Navigating them is a feat of balance and stamina– second nature to our local guides; harrowing for mere mortals like us.

Each campsite offers a completely different audioscape and climate from the last–ranging from chirping birds and howling winds, to dead silence on terrain resembling the moon. All while bathing in seconds-delayed echoes from a campsite that comes to life for about 20hrs, once a week.

After an 18hr flight delay out of Saigon, we made it to Dong Hoi– an airport notorious for soupy fog and blind landings. We spent about an hour circling overhead before a brief window appeared, and the pilot decided to go for it.

An hour after that, we were in the tranquil town of Phong Nha, and the launch point of our trek. A nervous excitement was building as we settled in and explored this charismatic riverside village.

Earlier this year, the USAID funding freeze halted the cleanup of mines, artillery, and chemicals from the war. As of 2023, an estimated 800k tons of artillery remains– the most recent example being a 500lb MK-82 bomb found in Dong Hoi in November 2024. You’ll see many of these artifacts decorating hotel entrances, and littered throughout the trails in Phong Nha.

Oxalis – who manages expeditions through #SonDoong – donates half of their proceeds to community restoration projects. They also help preserve the park in which the cave is located, having secured the area as a world heritage site to prevent mining/logging/commercial interests from taking over.

Still uncertain of our ability to embark on a 4-day trek through the largest cave in the world, we weighed the option of bailing up to the very last minute.

But as Nina says of her life at sea in the Antarctic: you only have to get on the boat; after that, you can’t get off.

The persistence was well worth it. We hit the trail head and were instantly rewarded with exotic greenery, sweeping mountain views, and friendly locals ready to guide us on the adventure of a lifetime.

At this point, Nina was still sustaining herself almost entirely on small, liquid meals. Meanwhile, I was at the threshold of a proper sinus infection I picked up on the plane from Tokyo.

We would soon find out how we would we fare humping across muddy rainforest hills, scrambling over jagged rocks, and navigating sheer cliffs a quarter mile below ground.

“We almost didn’t make it” describes multiple situations in the weeks leading to the day we entered #vietnam’s legendary #sondoong cave.

@tiny_sex_scene had her gallbladder removed 4wks before departure; 2wks later, she went into septic liver failure and was readmitted for emergency surgery to clear a remaining stone, compounding the matter with acute pancreatitis.

Aside from enduring excruciating pain, Nina was now relegated to a liquid diet– not ideal when facing 4 days isolated inside the world’s largest cave.

Nevertheless, we decided to go.

Our momentum was broken again when it was discovered at check-in during our layover in #japan that the birthdate on Nina’s visa was reversed. Luckily, a service was standing by to expedite emergency visas (for a fee), and we made our flight.

Landing in Saigon was harrowing. As our plane came within feet of touching down, the pilot made a last minute decision to abort the landing and blast back into the sky. It seems the heat and wind make SGN a challenging place to land. With the recent string of airplane disasters top of mind, we spent the next 20min contemplating our death before the next approach.

The second attempt was successful, taking us to the very edge of the landing strip.

The shift change between customs guards timed perfectly with our arrival– now it was my turn to have visa problems. Our new friend decided to be extra thorough by noticing the inconsistent spacing in the print around the “F” in McFarren between my visa and passport. I was being denied entry based on kerning.

After a frantic plea and showing other forms of ID, I convinced him to let me through with a firm reprimand about needing to correct my passport.

We quickly got some SIM cards and changed money– bless our taxi driver for discovering that Nina was nearly scammed out of 500k Dong before we left.

After an evening with friends in one of my favorite cities, and a night at the lovely @themystdongkhoi, we were on our way to Dong Hoi for the next leg of our journey to the cave. Or so we thought…
