Slow start. Finally decided to break open my magnesium fire starter kit. It was $12 at EMS, but it did not include the knife of metal strip to do the magnesium shavings. I had to use my own knife. I was struggling for about 40 minutes with the […]
Last event yesterday links with the first event today. Late last night I discovered that cheap charge wire for iPhone that I buy from China for $1 stopped working, and my phone have only 5% charge left. Today, I found a twist of the wire and I was able to […]
Always in progress . . . Next morning started around 7 (I opened my eyes at 07:22). Around 8:40 AM, I started my hike. For that day, I planned to complete a circle – climb 4,832 Carter Dome mountain, descend on a Black Angel trail, and complete the […]

A new mode of camping was adopted for this trip. My camp was off a very remote section of the White Mountain Forest. Plus, road was blocked by construction. My base camp was 0.6 miles on bike from the car, and then another 0.4 miles on foot. That was far […]
07:00 – I remember waking up very early and planning in my head how to break the camp most efficiently. There was no rain, but everything outside was dripping wet. First to be folded and packed were sleeping bag and pads, food and clothes, kitchen and bath bags. Among first […]
