Humor and Life

My satire is bad; my life details are worse. Still, people laugh at both, so join in the party. Everyone's invited.

Thinking about thinking is important. How do our minds interface with the world? What can we do to avoid making errors? Does morality exist?   

Spirituality

Without spirit, nothing matters. But if you have free will, it makes all the difference in the world.

Key:

  • Green: Day hikes, but can be done overnight.
  • Yellow: Typically 2-3 night hikes.

  • Significant zooming is required to see all activities. Some trailheads have 5+ hikes, which do not show at default zoom levels.

Reading Time: 7 minutes Introduction Why did I get some Kühl Transcendr pants and bother to post a review of such length? If you’ve read my hiking reviews (a massive ask, to be fair, and potentially a violation of the Geneva Convention if prisoners of war were made to do it), you know that I’m very particular about my pants. I’ve long struggled to find a really, truly good pair of hiking pants. One
