<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Adventure is necessary. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That line is stolen but it is one of my favorite philosophies. It is a theme that comes up frequently in a community that I recently joined, Overland Bound (https://www.overlandbound.com/). They encourage exploration, responsible stewardship of the land, learning new skills, and community. I've traveled deep in the woods for years a lot of different ways - on foot, bike, kayak, packraft. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Recently, I've been exploring in the Jeep. It has allowed me to learn new skills. I have been able to take Jenny and the kids deep in the woods to see things they wouldn't be able to see otherwise. When I'm exploring with the Jeep I'm able to see the wilderness from a completely different perspective. It's refreshing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I took a vacation day this Friday so I could scout trails near Sapphire, NC & Clayton, GA. Poor planning limited me to the first but that turns out to be just fine. There is a forest service road that exits the back side of Gorges State Park in North Carolina that goes over the Horsepasture River and eventually out to the NW side of Lake Jocassee. I stopped at the river campsite this time but plan to go back and explore more. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The forest fires last year destroyed a lot of forest in this area. All of the carpentry for this overlook was destroyed. The replacement step system is well done. Kudos, NC State Parks! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kate and I watch overlanding trip with expedition teams like Expedition Overland at bedtime. She decided that we need a name for our trips and picked Expedition Jeep. So with that, here's the latest outing for the Expedition Jeep team. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We loaded up Saturday morning and got on the road around midday. We routed through Rocky Bottom to Horsepasture Road to Boot Leg Road (both forest service roads). </span><br />

We walked down to the creek to hunt for salamanders and crayfish. After we got back to the Jeep, we went under the bridge to see what it was like to swim in a mountain river. I was a little ashamed to learn that neither my kids or my wife had done that yet. What sort of patriarch am I? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was Kate & Mason's first time at Jumping Off Rock. I think they were impressed. No one fell to their death so Jenny & I were happy. The low temperatures and high winds made it a short visit. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We started on Horsepasture Road at Rocky Bottom and drove out to where Bootlegger Road forks off to the right. Bootlegger ends in a dead end near perfect lake beaches that is ideal for a night or two of camping. I can't wait to come back when it's warm enough to swim! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the best things about overlanding is the food. We made Chicken Pasole from a recipe we found at Publix. It would be good at home but it is just fantastic in the backwoods. These meals beat the freeze dried meals I take on backpacking & bikepacking trips by leagues. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Georgia Traverse is a 390 mile series of trails and roads crossing northern Georgia. According to <a href="http://www.georgiaoverland.com/the-georgia-traverse.html" target="_blank">The Georgia Traverse</a>, there are 226 miles of dirt and 164 miles of pavement. I started at the eastern terminus (Burrell's Ford Road) and stopped near Helen, GA. This was a solo overlanding trip to check the Traverse out and to shakedown some of the gear I've assembled for Jeep trips. Thanks to my sweet wife, Jenny, for supporting the build of our overlanding rig! If you're curious about getting overlanding, check out <a href="https://www.overlandbound.com/" target="_blank">Overland Bound</a> and <a href="http://expeditionportal.com/" target="_blank">Expedition Portal</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was my first trip using <a href="https://www.gaiagps.com/map/?lat=38.3417&lon=-98.0859&zoom=4" target="_blank">Gaia GPS</a> for route finding. In short, IT IS AWESOME! I was able to download the GPX from the Georgia Traverse website and easily load it onto my iPad & iPhone. I could only track my progress on the iPhone during the trip because you need GPS on your device (iPad is WiFi only). It was handy to have the map on the larger screen of the iPad so I'm considering a GPS antenna like the <a href="https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/109827" target="_blank">Garmin GLO</a>. The <a href="http://info.delorme.com/" target="_blank">DeLorme InReach</a> seems like a nice piece of gear as well but the monthly service rates are expensive. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've always loved exploring the quiet two lane roads of the South. You can go slow and see so much. It is peaceful and relaxing for me. Taking a little time to just 'see where that road goes' is gratifying. It's even more fun when you can do the same with dirt roads without being worried about how technical it gets. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's my kitchen. I'll probably add a tarp for rainy days but for now I'm really happy with the setup. I made dinner and packed up for the night by 6:30 or so. By 7:00 I was asleep which turned out to be a good thing. Weather radar around 10pm showed a nasty front rolling through in the next few hours. Pine beetles left behind several large pines that looked ready to come down if you looked at them crossways so I decided to pack up and move on. Another advantage of having no set plan for your trip allows you to stay fluid and move about as you please. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The original plan was to head down the trail a bit to find a site to park that didn't feature dead trees but I ended up enjoying the drive so I just kept going. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I ended up on Highway 123 where the Waffle House was calling my name. I rolled in around 1:30 to have the standard - two scrambled eggs, grits, toast, bacon & coffee. You meet interesting people in Waffle Houses. I ended up catching a few more hours of sleep in the back of the Jeep in the corner of a WalMart parking lot. Not many people know that all WalMarts allow overnighting in their parking lots. It's not a scenic part of the adventure but an experience everyone should have in my opinion. After a little morning coffee I was on my way. As a side note, never drink bad coffee.</span></div>

Its about an hour from home for me but worth the drive. The forest is a nicely marked system of single track and forest service trails. There is an unusually high density of vistas and nice falls. Beautiful lakes with crystal clear water are thrown in here and there for good measure. Its a GREAT place to explore on bike and do a little bikepacking.<br />

I did a 20 mile, 2,000 ft elevation ride yesterday morning. Here are the views:<br />

Since John's Rock isn't too far from home and we've never done the hike we decided to give it a try. It's a nice walk that easily fits into a day. We started really late, stuck with a relaxed pace, had a luxury ramen noodle lunch and took lots of photos and still had plenty of time in the day for it. Recommended. </span><br />

It is usually out West somewhere or at least far away. I was lucky enough to attend the Austin show a few years back. The story goes that my business trip happened to coincide with the show. Its remotely possible that my friend Bill & I came up with a business trip to make that convenient. Remotely possible. Anyway, this year's NAHBS was in Charlotte, NC. I live in Greenville, SC now. That's 2 hours away.<br />
<br />
Serendipity.<br />
<br />
Jenny, I know what you're thinking. No, I did not find the Sunex Tools job and move us to Greenville to make it easier to go to the NAHBS Charlotte show. Admittedly, that's only because I didn't think of it. Better to be lucky than good.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the show was great. There were a lot of fat bikes... a lot. There were some really sexy cross bikes. I literally backed into Tom Ritchey. Bike people are the nicest lot of folks you'll bump into. Here are the photos.<br />

<br />
I originally tied a short cord around the back lash strap and the small hole in the plug. This keeps the plug attached to the raft so you don't do something stupid like kicking it in the river while you're inflating the boat. Unfortunately, the cord tends to get twisted and it gets in the way... very annoying.<br />
<br />
I was able to make this quick and easy attachment point that mimics the keeper on your trusty Nalgene water bottle out of a scrap piece of plastic (this one was from a ziploc container).<br />

Start with some scrap plastic - a milk jug would work nicely as well. </div>

I've been itching to take it for a paddle since Tuesday.<br />

I drove out to Gibson's Mill Pond to give the boat a first paddle yesterday. My first impressions were positive.<br />

First off, I should mention that its very easy to inflate. There isn't much information on the process online so I didn't know what to expect going in. I'll try to remember to post a short video with more detail on the process later.<br />

I spent a LOT of time determining if I wanted the 2012 or 2011 style spray deck. Obviously, I went with the 2012 style and I'm glad for it. My concerns included ventilation when paddling as a open boat, weigh & complication. There's a good thread on the topic over at Backpackinglight.com. You can follow the discussion here: <a href="http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=60362" target="_blank">Alpacka's New Spray Deck</a>. Based on my limited time with the boat I can confirm that the cockpit is open enough that ventilation is not a problem. The only area covered that would be open with the 2011 deck is the last 1/3 of my shins and my feet.<br />

If you're used to paddling a sea kayak like I am, get ready for a pirouette party! The flat bottom of the boat let's it spin on a time and paddling across flat water in a straight line takes concentration. I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl on moving water to see how it behaves there. Stability is massive, obviously. The boat is wide (compared to a kayak) there is no chine and you're sitting way below the CG of the boat. I climbed all over it playing with the GoPro. There's no chance of flipping it on flat water. You might fall out but you won't flip the boat unless you try.<br />
<br />
First impressions were great. Next up? I'll go see how it plays in moving water with a few day trips on the Saluda & Broad Rivers. After that I have my eye on a 50 mile float combined with about 30 miles of riding the Black Sheep... good things to come!Don Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04111986153463564073noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553253971203193396.post-1988177539796576722012-03-04T19:45:00.000-08:002012-03-04T19:58:09.786-08:00Palmetto Trail - Awendaw to Monck's CornerI'm a sprinter at heart. I've been trying to fix it for years now but the going is slow. I blame it on the BMX racing. Its 45 seconds of full tilt go. I built up a single speed cruiser for getting around town in Clemson way before it was hip to SS anything. It was a rusty heap that I literally bought out of a pile of rusting bikes for $5 or $10 and brought back from the dead. I bring it up because this bike was designed and restored to be a chill machine. What did I do? Sprints between my apartment and class. It jumped sidewalk ramps like a dream. I took off from a light so hard in town that I blew a chain and crumpled into a bloody lump in the middle of the street. Honestly, I didn't regret it. I'm a sprinter at heart.<br />
<br />
Why do I bring that up? I have a passion for long distance adventure and being a sprinter makes that really hard. No matter how fit you are if you don't pace yourself smartly, you blow up. It doesn't help if you have a (as yet undiagnosed) lung problem that leaves you face up on the side of the trail content to sleep with ants and mosquitoes taking their fair share of you.<br />
<br />
I decided to take a swing at the Palmetto Trail back late in 2011. Its taken this long to post anything about it because... well, it aggravated me. Looking back on it I definitely had Type II fun (fun to remember - not as fun to do). The original plan was to drop off in Awendaw and pedal my way up to home in Lexington, SC. That's a couple hundred miles on singletrack, jeep trail, pavement and urban sprawl. I ended up biting off 50 miles of it from Awendaw to Monck's Corner, SC. Here are a few photos from the trip...<br />
<br />
With a full time job and two kids there really isn't a ton of time to get packed and ready before trips like this. I do get all of my gear together in a pile, plan meals, routes, etc. but it seems like the last minute preparation always suffers. That's OK, I can take care of it in the hotel room, right?<br />

The other thing that I don't do enough is thank my wife for being pretty rad. She tolerates me taking off on silly solo adventures when most other wives would tell me to go read a book. In this particular instance, she loaded up Kate & Mason and drove down to Charleston to drop me off.<br />

the Black Sheep (and me) were caked in web to the point that I didn't<br />
bother even cleaning it off after awhile. The worst was when the spider<br />
either hitched a ride like this and suddenly climbed onto your arm.<br />

on my face. Yes, twice.I'm skittish about bugs but I pretty much freak out<br />
when large spiders are on my face. For the record, this guy was safely<br />
removed from the bike and relocated to a nearby tree.<br />

Nancy at Alpacka is just fantastic and was nice enough to send a few photos of my boat in progress yesterday. I'm pumped! (pun intended)<br />
<br />
Its interesting that my friends that limit their adventures to shopping malls and golf courses seem to think this is by far the craziest piece of gear that I've picked up to date. I guess its the alien element of moving water combined with the 'pool toy' perception. My last few pieces of gear are going to make new trips with less boundaries possible. I can't wait! <br />

My wife would probably say that I can never leave well enough alone. Either way, I've been fiddling with solutions for my Backcountry Boiler to improve the pour and replace the relatively heavy stock stopper.<br />
<br />

The stock silicone stopper weighs 3/8oz (14g). It isn't earth shattering weight but it is a touch portly for its function in life. I started this project as a simple way of cutting the weight down while still plugging the boiler. I've changed scope after deciding that I'll probably never use the boiler to transport water. The new plan? Make the boiler's pour friendlier. <br />
<br />
I made the (less than stellar) video below to show a few different solutions I've explored. I'm less than overwhelmed by any of them but I'd say they're a good start. I like the concept of the snap in style spout but the current evolution doesn't perform well when the boiler is full and isn't particularly heat resistant. For the next experiment I'm considering a MYOG stopper spout like you see in the olive oil dispensers at Italian restaurants using the stock plug trimmed way down and some lightweight aluminum tubing. More on that later. Without further delay...<br />

I also took a little time to try out a project to MYOG your own fire starters that <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1457150811">J</a><a href="http://jjmatheshikes.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-like-fire-and-im-always-interested-in.html" target="_blank">ERMM posted not too long ago</a>. We don't have any candles to donate so I used parafin wax instead. It melts easily on the stovetop set to low and they set quickly on a sheet of aluminum foil (wax paper would probably work better but we didn't have any). They're light, weatherproof and burn like mad. Give it a whirl & thanks to JERMM for the tip.<br />

The bands that Timex decided to use on their newer watches aren't very popular with me, however. I can no longer use those velcro straps (The Band) and getting a replacement band requires that you buy Timex brand gear. Its particularly annoying when the failure point is something as simple as the band keeper. Because I'm a salty, stubborn old bastard I spend my valuable time trying to fix it instead of giving in as a victim of their design for failure revenue strategy.<br />

My first repair was a crude replacement made out of <a href="http://www.gorillaglue.com/tapes.aspx" target="_blank">Gorilla Tape</a>. As an aside, if you're not familiar with this tape, you should be. Its the Chuck Norris of duct tape. This replacement only gets a 4 out of 10 because it holds the band in place at first but it slides around eventually letting the band flop around.<br />

The next (and current) solution holds much more promise and doesn't look quite so ghetto. I had a perfectly sized o-ring in my gear closet that pops right on, holds the band in place and so far stays in place. Score? 11 of 10! If this doesn't work, I think I'll ask one of my less evolved cycling buddies that ride skinny tires to donate a section of inner tube. </div>

Apologies for looking rough in the video. I just had spinal surgery to fuze my C6 & C7 vertebrae. You all know I love custom titanium but this surgery was probably a little over the top just to get a plate and four screws in my spine.<br />

Anyway, enjoy and please leave comments if you have alternate ideas or potential improvements to this one!<br />

1. Remove the cap. It's a brass plug held in by a press fit o-ring. Simple!</div>

The grip is stainless steel with a bead blasted matte finish. The tip is Japanese White Ash. Snow Peak made a deal with Japanese baseball teams to recycle their broken bats into new chopsticks. Nice touch! The threaded joint and rear cap are both made of brass. </div>

The design shows off Snow Peak's typical refined simplicity. The design geometry, material selection and finish are all understated and show that the designer understood that less can truly be more. The chopsticks are well balanced whether you use them with a high or low grip. </div>
