I took off Friday after work to have my first sub24 of the year in the Marin Headlands across from San Francisco. My destination Hawk Camp. Just about a 15mile round trip.

First time using the Relevate Designs harness and pocket.


Fist night photo of the Goldengate.


First time night riding the fireroads in the headlands and using the Nightrider Moab in a true country side setting.


First time seeing the coast range newt.


First time using the can stove.



First time pitching the tarp as a shelter. Fist time not tying junk knots. Thanks to all here for inspiration and links that taught me how to tye a taunght line hitch knot.





First night in the bivy. Stayed cozy and slept in unti 9am (another first).

Far from any of the many epic trips I love reading about on this site. This is what is available in my backyard so I visit it often.

I hope you enjoyed it too.

Thanks for putting this up. I'm glad it's good till next payday.

Another impressive adventure by the Outsider. I enjoyed the crosspost from your blog very much. You are from hardy stock. I would freeze to death if the outside temps ever dropped below 30'sF around here.
Thank you for posting.

Thanks for the deal.

Hey 12wheels,

Can you please tell me is your tarp Silnylon, and where did you get it from?
Thanks.

Have you look at the jandd framebags yet?

Sweet! Thanks for posting that up.
I just grabbed a new synthetic sleeping bag for 65% off with that additional code.

That is real cool. I like the modular concept.
Bag-bra?

Wonderful tutorial.
How long did it take to produce the bag.

Welcome to the area. I sent you a message.

blue tarps, rubber cement and gorilla tape make fun shelters

I would love to see such a shelter. Please post it.

 
Thanks.

One of these gents also used a bob. Looks like it had a few limitations.

That's a great job. What are the demensions of the cases?
You have really expanded the area on top of your rack for any light bulk iteams as well. Nice.

Looks like a wonderful trip. It's nice to know there are other serial meadow layers out there.
I felt so alone for so long..

I really enjoyed this such beautiful country side.
