6 Days 13 Hours 34 Minutes 18 Seconds and........


Still so much to do. Luckily I'm not going at it alone. My friend Knowledge is riding shotgun on this journey. Most of these books or hon in Japanese are coming with me on this trip. These little nuggets of joy make such a spectacle possible.



Thank you REI for my vessel, which is a Osprey atmos 65. A Marmot Aspe 40 degree sleeping bag should keep me warm. Thanks DSG. Put it all under a Big Agnes Seedhouse w/ footprint courtesy of Ebay. Voila, all you really need to travel.



Staying warm and dry are going to be really important. You are looking at the last 2 jackets you'll ever need..... period. The Columbia Glacier to Glad II, Thanks Kobb, and The Mountain Hardware Monkey Man. When I did my research on the monkey man, the first site I went to had 87 customer reviews. All 87 were 5 star reviews.... I should have bought 2.

Tomorrow I 'll post some more items that are accompanying me on my journey.
