Spent another great weekend in the woods! Made it out to a group camp on the Victory section of the #OzarkTrail and had a great time. The new pack held up great stuffed with all my #winter weather gear. Stayed plenty warm with lows around 20F. Happy hiking! #backpacking #myog #hiking #mentalhealth

Good morning Bluesky! One of my favorite places on earth. We are planning a trip to hike it again in a few months. I can’t wait to be stunned by its immense beauty! This photo was taken back in 2019 when I lasted visited. #NationalParks #GrandCanyon #LandscapePhotography #hiking

Here it it! My latest pack build ended up out of this world! I used the 40L pattern by Prickly Gorse on Etsy and got my materials from @ripstopbytheroll.bsky.social. I feel like l'm finally getting the hang of the sewing machine and how bag assembly works. #myog #diy #sewing #backpacking

Just got my latest order in from @ripstopbytheroll.bsky.social! Trying the OutdoorINK print and got this awesome constellation pattern on some X-Pac V21 RS. The rest of the shopping list to follow. Time to get making! #MYOG #DIY #backpacking #sewing #outdoors #hiking #mentalhealth #safespace

That feeling you get when you just ordered fabrics and components from @ripstopbytheroll.bsky.social for a new #MYOG pack project. Also, this is Taum Sauk Mountain, Missouri's highest point. Highly recommend! #Backpacking #Hiking #DIY #Sewing #Camping #Ultralight #LNT #SafeSpace #MentalHealth

A wild X-Mid in its natural environment on the Ozark Trail. Remember to observe their beauty from afar and not to disturb their home. #LeaveNoTrace #Backpacking #Hiking #LNT #OzarkTrail #Humor #Photography #BlackandWhite #Nature #MentalHealth #SafeSpace

Polar plunge in the frozen Mina Sauk Falls. Keeping the hike short allowed for lots of time playing around getting pictures and video. #backpacking #hiking #LNT #waterfall #photography #videography #winter #mentalhealth #safespace

Stayed up past hiker midnight for some night sky pics. It was hard to find a decent clearing but some turned out decent. Loving the purple coming through once I extended the exposure. #backpacking #hiking #lnt #photography #camping #ozarktrail #nightskyphotography #stars #mentalhealth #safespace

More from the icy Taum Sauk section of the Ozark Trail. Some of the trail was actually icy enough for me to finally test out my micro spikes! So much fun! #backpacking #hiking #camping #ozarktrail #lnt #photography #winter #blackandwhitephotography #mentalhealth #safespace #landscapephotography

Spent the weekend playing on ice and sleeping in the woods. Vintage ice climber vibes at Mina Sauk Falls. Missouri's tallest waterfall. #backpacking #hiking #lnt #waterfalls #ice #winter #photography #blackandwhite #mentalhealth #safespace

Back to another #FungiFriday. I met these fungis while out on the Ozark Trail in the Mark Twain National Forest. #backpacking #hiking #camping #fungi #lnt #photography #mentalhealth #safespace

Hammock set up along the Taum Sauk section of the Ozark Trail. Near Missouri's highest point. Heading back this weekend for much colder weather. #backpacking #hiking #hammock #hammockcamping #ozarktrail #photography #safespace #mentalhealth

Happy #FungiFriday! Enjoy a few mushrooms from along the Berryman Loop Trail in the Mark Twain National Forest. #Backpacking #Hiking #Photography #LNT #Mushrooms #Fungi #MentalHealth #SafeSpace

OTA trail marker on the Ozark Trail in b&w. Follow these from the Eleven Point terminus heading north for 230 miles to thru hike this trail. #Backpacking #Hiking #OTA #OzarkTrail #photography #naturephotography #mentalhealth #safespace

For the #MYOG crowd. Finished up my 32 liter frameless pack. St. Louis Blues colors (though I was just told it's actually minion colors). Really happy with how it turned out. Fabrics from RipstopByTheRoll, Rockywoods Fabrics, and Joann Fabrics. #Backpacking #Hiking #DIY #MentalHealth #SafeSpace

Following up the sunset with a sunrise view from Bell Mountain in Belleview, MO. You can either do the 10 mile loop or cut a couple miles off and just go out and back to the summit. Either way, it's a tough climb up for very worth it views and an easy hike out. #Backpacking #Hiking #Photography

Sunset over Council Bluff Lake from the top of Johnson Mountain in Kaolin Township, Missouri. The lake loop is a great 13 mile hike but the mile up to this view is tough! Totally worth it though. #Backpacking #Hiking #sunset #camping #photography #mentalhealth #safespace

Progress pics of my most recent #MYOG project. 32 liter ultralight frameless pack made from X-Pac and Eco-Pac fabrics. Just need to finish the rolltop and add shock cord then it will be ready to hit the trails! #Backpacking #DIY #Hiking #Project #LNT #MentalHealth #SafeSpace

Wolf Pen Hollow Waterfall on the Middle Fork section of the Ozark Trail. Beautiful campsite with the best white noise. #Backpacking #Hiking #Camping #LNT #Nature #Photography #Videography #SafeSpace #MentalHealth

Hawn State Park in the rain. My favorite State Park to backpack here in Missouri. These trails turn to streams real quick when it's wet out. #backpacking #hiking #nature #mostateparks #LNT #photography #videography #mentalhealth #safespace

Snowy Mark Twain National Forest on the Ozark Trail. #backpacking #hiking #photography #nature #snow #mentalhealth #safespace

Did you know there's a Garden of the Gods in Illinois??? I finally went and backpacked GotG in Shawnee National Forest and it did not disappoint. So many awesome rock features and spectacular views. #camping #leavenotrace #nature #travel #hiking #backpacking #outdoors #photography
