I was at Big Bend National Park the week before. What was your itinerary? I was able to knock out the Outer Mountain Loop.

I fold it until its the length of the poles and then roll it. It's the method I use in the field and when I'm at home.

Spend a week backpacking in Palo Duro Canyon and do a thru hike of the Lone Star Hiking Trail.

I would love a Big Agnes Scout Tent. I know its not gonna happen, but maybe I can piece together gift cards and an REI dividend.

I've never personally been so this is all second hand knowledge, but my cousin has been to Belize multiple times for college and his masters. He has never had an issue with safety or getting around by car. I hope that helped a little even though its not exactly what you are looking for.

It looks like a pretty place to visit even with all the extra hikers. Make sure to post the new trips to isolated places as well.

I've actually never seen Shark Tank and everything I know about it, I learned from Tosh.0. You are right about making light weight gear. I'm sure its relatively easy as there are many DIY'ers out there making similar gear. What I appreciate about GoLite is that they were pushing lighter gear...

I'm not in your area, but I try and get out for a bike ride on the trails at least twice a week. If I'm lucky I can get a third ride in on an evening night. Night rides bring a whole new level of intensity.

While GoLite isn't my go to brand, I do like a lot of their products. I hope they can pull through and reorganize successfully. I would hate to see a light weight gear maker go under.

Right now I am drinking Chili Beer. It is pretty much Tecate (pale lager), but has a chili pepper add for extra kick. I am a big fan spicy beers.

Welcome aboard. I'm in South Texas and my most recent trip have been up to central Texas.

I haven't been able to do kayak much here. There aren't any inland paddle trails near me. Plus, I have a short creek kayak, so I'd have a rough go in the bays or gulf. I have been considering trading in my current kayak for a longer bay version.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Texas does have a few nice places to visit so check it out when you get the chance. BeeGee sure did give me a scare for a bit. I was just glad she didn't actually have a flipped stomach.

BackpackingGoodwater Loop Today’s trip report will cover our second time at Good Water Loop in Georgetown, TX. On our first trip, Jack and I tried to mountain bike the trail and failed and you can read about it here. This week’s team consisted of BeeGee (her first big trip of the season), Jack...

Those are some amazing pictures. My Jeep has been in the shop so long, and seeing this makes me want it back. I cannot wait to hit the back roads for a scenic drive.

I've got canals behind my house and I've considered throwing the kayak in on more than 1 occasion. However, it would be no where near as intense as the video. At least until I hit a tunnel for a road crossing.

Haha. I like it. From now on this is what I aspire too!

I have the Sawyer Squeeze (the full sized version). It has worked well for me and I've used it in the swamps of Eastern North Carolina. The mini is a little lighter but has the same size filter (0.1 Microns absolute). The only issue is having to squeeze to get rapid filtration, and it can...

Thank you both for the advice. It looks like first and foremost I have to do a little more research and get out there and just take pictures.

So I have been looking through the website and so many people have posted such great pictures. I am looking for tips/insight on how or what I can do to take better photos. I have a pretty basic setup to work with, a Cannon PowerShot SD4000 and my Galaxy S4. Any advice is much appreciated.
