My crib


When I first rented  the pebble (my off campus house), it looked like this.

After much building and some ghetto rigging, the place has been transformed. If you follow the video, you can see the shelving in the kitchen, the knife block, made with wooden skewers, the spice shelf and a row of hooks.
Entering the bedroom, you can see the curtain door and tie downs, and plenty of hooks. Then you can see the beds and shelving that I built in. At the far corner is the recurve bow rack and two bars for hanging clothes. I don’t think I missed any descriptions, but it sure was a blast to make, and now it definitely feels like home sweet home. The next modification will include a new kitchen table!

On break finally, I had a bit of recovery time before I headed home. What is the best way to recover? By going bouldering with friends of course! Ray, Eric (a fellow Smartwool ambassador) and I met at the parking lot and proceeded to grate all of the skin off of our hands! Doesn’t that sound like fun?!

oh navigation!


With Engs 21 over and finals looming Nat and I did the responsible thing to do - climb! Not only did we climb, but we got a tad lost on the way from one crag to the next. You see, fall=leaves and leaves cover trails. So... we ended up on a 4 wheeler road. I've never seen a road before at Rumney - cool beans! Ended up we weren't on Rumney at all, but on someone's private property. So we were going to  make a quick escape until we found out that they had pigs. So after a quick photoshoot we made our quick exit. Best. Rumney day. Ever!

ELK!!


My parents are boss. After getting up at 3AM for five days in a row, they had an amazing hunt in the snow and got an elk, carried it out and butchered it! So jealous!
