CURRENT MISSION

to successfully shoot lightening bolts from my eyes.

ABOUT ME

I love my bicycle, I sew, knit, crochet, quilt, screen print, if it's crafty I might have a basic understanding of it. I've been vegan for over 5 years now and counting. I've worked for the forest service in Montana and Idaho. I've hiked almost 500 miles of the Appalachian Trail, I work on a farm now, I have plans to do stuff but nothing is set in stone...ever.
I hope to bike up or down the west coast within the next 2 years and complete a through hike at some point in time.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not burn yourself out. Be as I am-a reluctant enthusiast... a part time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still there. So get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains. Run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards. -Edward Abbey

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

amazing things happen daily

Teach, Learn, Share

I can discuss backpacking and living in the wilderness. I've worked as a vegan baker and cook in Dallas, I could explain the basics of vegan baking.

I would love to learn how to block print and wheat paste from a person, not the internet. I'm also fairly new to climbing and would love someone to walk me through sport climbing.
