2026-02-03 Udar Gromov 0

I never carried the “full house” on my shoulders before. This time, with introduction of an old professional-grade KELTY backpack I would carry a tent, and sleeping bag, and warm clothes, and food, and tarp, and poncho and dozens of other small, but very necessary things. I woke up around 6AM, […]
