Hey y’all! 

A couple weeks ago, I went backpacking for the first time in 7.5 months on Eagle Rock Loop in AR during the total eclipse. I'm posting my video from the trip this evening at 6:30pm central as a Premiere so we can all watch it together and I can talk with y'all in the chat.  Pretty sure this is my favorite video I’ve put out so far, so I can’t wait to watch it with y’all! See you later tonight :)

Had fun chatting with the fellas on the Backpacking and Blisters podcast. They wanted to hear about my helicopter rescue experience, & I appreciate them having me on! Hope nobody ever needs the info, but it might be good to have if you do someday ☺️👇🏻

They’re BACK! Any questions you may have should be answered if you click the link. If not, please let me know below. 

These knives are made by a small business, not a mass manufacturer. Yes, you can go buy a $20 knife at Walmart and it will cut open your summer sausage just fine—there I saved anyone from having to type that this year 😅 If you were going to comment that, this knife is not for you! Purchases are voluntary and nobody will compel you to pull out your wallet. 

With that said, for those who are interested, sales begin to patrons on Tuesday, November 28th @5pm central and open to the public on Wednesday, November 29th @5pm central. 

These knives typically sell out in 24 hours and 15 minutes, so be ready! Thank y’all to MT Knives and all of you Knife enthusiast for another year of making these possible ♥️

For anyone who thinks my helicopter evac was staged for press by Garmin, the SAR crew, and hospital staff—my cardiologist is also in on it 😂

All joking aside, I have to wear this bad boy for 14 days. I still think it was just the medicine I was taking, but time will tell. More detailed info about the whole experience coming in a video soon—thank y’all for caring ♥️
