Happy birthday to my favorite little hiking buddy! (Also happy birthday to me, because I did all the hard work early on). Looking forward to watching my little chickadee grow and thrive and explore the world around her 🥰 #birthday #adventurekids #hikingbuddy #hikingbuddyforlife #littlehiker #birthdaygirl #giantcupcake #whatamess https://www.instagram.com/p/CL27znwjiA4/?igshid=1huxrk06s2qjt

Throwback to kayaking in Morro Bay. Ellie really wanted to paddle, and she did... but she didn't realize that dad was behind us doing most of the work. What are your kids' favorite outdoor activities?⁠ ⁠ #exploreoutside⁠ #wanderlust⁠ #outdoors⁠ #outdoorfamily⁠ #outdoorfamilies⁠ #outdoorkids⁠ #adventurekids⁠ #optoutside⁠ #noscreens⁠ #areyouriveted https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPPy7bnJoR/?igshid=i3baypikpxd7

If you’re like me, you get frustrated that life gets in the way of all the hiking/backpacking/camping/exploring that you’d like to be doing much more often. But... my daughter is proof that you don’t have to leave your backyard to have an adventure! Whether we’re hanging in hammocks from our covered parking, camping ⛺️ out on the back lawn, or catching baby lizards 🦎 on the cinderblock walls, there’s plenty to do, explore, and learn about without leaving home. So whether you’re stuck at home due to Covid, your bank account, or something else, there’s plenty of adventures to be had close by, so go out and find them! #exploreoutside #wanderlust #outdoors #wilderness #wildernessculture #backcountry #adventureswithkids #outdoorfamily #outdoorfamilies #kidsofinstagram #kidventures #localadventures #backyardadventures #backyardadventure #areyouriveted #optoutside https://www.instagram.com/p/CLLONOjjp-9/?igshid=197yiypourcnf

What’s your perfect sized pouch? I think mine is this little 6”x3”x2”. It’s the perfect size for a backcountry first aid kid, or to hold the contents of your urban survival kit, or for a pocket dump. What would you use this pouch for? #exploreoutside #wanderlust #outdoors #wilderness #wildernessculture #backcountry #ultralight #ultralightbackpacking #hikinggear #lightweightgear #backpackinggear #ultralightgear #outdoorgear #madeintheusa #areyouriveted #camping #survival #pouch #possiblespouch #possiblepouch #zipperpouch #survivalgear #bushcraft #bushcrafting #woodsman #outdoorsman #bushcraftgear #bushcraftusa #edc #pocketdump https://www.instagram.com/p/CLIRD88jTNm/?igshid=6229t0b8s5td

Today’s #shoutout goes out to @bowandharrowworkshop. If you’re looking for some amazing woodworking, head over and check out Kate’s work. She makes everything from gorgeous pens to cutting boards to rolling trays. She even made me this double sided seam ripper (not that I ever make any mistakes... ok maybe a few...). I can’t even tell you how comfortable this thing is to use - I’ll never go back to those tiny little plastic seam rippers. Ever ordered from the shop? Those thank you notes that I include are also written with one of her pens! #woodwork #handmadepens #makersofig #makersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #womensupportingwomen #womanownedbusiness #womeninbusiness #womenmakers #toolsofthetrade #handmade #handturned https://www.instagram.com/p/CLF-MWhjQOB/?igshid=1c46rowmvdzwq

I’m so stoked to be making more of the purple/orange/green hiking hankies. By far the most popular color, this fabric has been out of stock for months, so as soon as I saw it, I snapped it up! I can’t wait to get the next batch of hiking hankies into the shop. At almost 250, it’s my biggest batch yet 🤩 #hiking #hiker #getoutside #takeahike #backpacking #backpackinglife #backpackinglight #hikingadventures #backpackingadventures #backpacker #thruhike #exploreoutside #wanderlust #outdoors #wilderness #wildernessculture #backcountry #ultralight #ultralightbackpacking #hikinggear #lightweightgear #backpackinggear #ultralightgear #outdoorgear #etsyshop #etsy #etsyseller #madeintheusa #areyouriveted https://www.instagram.com/p/CLC8cCzjxf9/?igshid=1hi33bf9b6avk

Today in the shop - the signature chamois trail towels in a couple of limited edition colors! While they last, you can now get these towels in both purple and pink. Grab one now - these sell out quickly (almost as quickly as they dry, and they dry pretty fast!). Also great for hiking, kids, gym, and minimalist travel. #hiking #hiker #getoutside #takeahike #exploremore #backpacking #backpackinglife #wanderlust #hikingadventures #backpackingadventures #adventure #backpacker #ultralight #ultralightbackpacking #outdoors #wilderness #wildernessculture #backcountry #hikinggear #lightweightgear #backpackinggear #ultralightgear #outdoorretailer #outdoorgear #etsyshop #etsy #etsyseller #madeintheusa #areyouriveted https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzK4HtDXap/?igshid=egbvdz7lulsx

Confession time: I have a Cricut die cutting machine. I don’t use it to make glitter tumblers or cute greeting cards though - I use it to cut perfect box pouches! I’m cutting at least a hundred box pouches today, which would take me all week if I had to do it by hand, and they wouldn’t be nearly as precise. So there you go - there’s my dirty little secret! 🤫😁 #outdoors #wilderness #wildernessculture #backcountry #hikinggear #lightweightgear #backpackinggear #ultralightgear #outdoorretailer #outdoorgear #etsyshop #etsy #etsyseller #madeintheusa #areyouriveted #zipperpouch #boxpouch #campinggear #camping #survival #pouch #possiblespouch #possiblepouch #survivalgear #bushcraft #bushcraftgear #bushcraftusa #bcusa #edc #pocketdump https://www.instagram.com/p/CKw92k7j18c/?igshid=22litmxns0hl

#sasquatchsighting today! Ok, it was actually a bandage on my arm that my daughter picked for me after I donated blood, but that counts, right? #sasquatch #getoutside #takeahike #exploremore #outdoors #wilderness #wildernessculture #backcountry #outdoorretailer #outdoorgear #etsyshop #etsy #etsyseller #madeintheusa #areyouriveted https://www.instagram.com/p/CKm6-aqjS2A/?igshid=13z2x0tqsmmur

Another (large) batch of ultralight trail towels in progress. These are one of my most popular products, and for good reason - they are light, soft, super absorbent, and quick drying. Great for backcountry swims, wipe downs after a sweaty day of hiking, and getting that pesky condensation off of your single wall tent in the morning! Also fantastic if you have kids, especially the adventurous, dirty, dusty kind :) I’ll be adding a couple of new colors soon, so stay tuned! #ultralight #ultralightbackpacking #ultralightgear #backpacking #backpackinglife #backpack #wanderlust #hikingadventures #backpackingadventures #adventure #backpacker #hiking #hiker #backpackinggear #hikinggear #getoutside #takeahike #exploremore #outdoors #wilderness #wildernessculture #backcountry #outdoorretailer #outdoorgear #etsyshop #etsy #etsyseller #madeintheusa #areyouriveted https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjoU2RjCCC/?igshid=obpesixylhme

I may live in Southern California, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get snow. This last storm was a cold one - it’s 46 degrees outside right now! I think it’s a good morning to stay inside and clean up the workspace. Brew some tea, crank some tunes, and double down on my organization. What’s on your to-do list for the day? #snow #socalsnow #coldhands #areyouriveted #rivetedoakdesigns #makersofinstagram #cleaning #mondaymotivation https://www.instagram.com/p/CKecObXjjUX/?igshid=vmrq4q8u6hgr

We got a brief break in the rain so we used it to practice riding our new bigger bike (full disclosure - I can ride a bike just fine). Boy was it cold! Still nice to be outside though. We try to get outside everyday, especially since we got furloughed from work again. Get that vitamin D and fresh air! It’s important to your physical and mental well-being. #outdoorkids #outdoorfamily #optoutside #freshair #freshairtherapy #kidsofinstagram #rivetedoakdesigns #gorideabike #areyouriveted #coldhands https://www.instagram.com/p/CKccaqJDBqj/?igshid=1kpjudgfaaeq7

My daughter has been really interested in photography lately, so I let her take a bunch of pictures when we were in Yosemite last October. This is one of her favorites - can you see the rainbow she captured? It’s really important for me to foster in her a love of nature and the outdoors. I want to raise a kid that prefers open skies over screens, and trails over television. So far, so good 😊 #landscapephotography #photography #backpacking #backpackinglife #backpack #wanderlust #hikingadventures #yosemite #adventure #backpacker #hiking #hiker #hikinggear #ultralight #yosemitenationalpark #outdoorkids #getoutside #takeahike #exploremore #outdoors #wilderness #wildernessculture #backcountry #outdoorretailer #outdoorgear #etsyshop #etsy #etsyseller #madeintheusa #areyouriveted (at Tuolome Meadows) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKZPTBwDsOq/?igshid=195xh4nhe22gm

Backpacking Food

These days, I don't buy a single prepackaged backpacking meal from REI.  And you know what?  I save a LOT of money, and I like the food that
