Hi.

I've done a lot of stuff outside. I'm an Eagle Scout. More recently, I've done a little bit of (~120 miles in 10 days, so a super-relaxed pace) bikepacking in CO* and lots of shakedown rides in TX, quite a bit of 3 season backpacking, trekking and tourist-tier stuff, lots of bike commuting all over the US in all sorts of different weather except for deep-snow. I did some SCUBA as a teenager with the Boy Scouts back when the YMCA still did SCUBA certification.

Also I like Burning Man and other similarly related events.

I have a nearish-term goal (within about 5 years) to through-hike one of the big N/S trails in the US, like the AT or PCT. My motivation for doing the bikepacking was to see if that would be a more pleasant way to do a big through-hike. I'm still not quite sure what I prefer...

I've recently taken a liking to vegetarian cooking in the back country because meat is a heck of a lot more smellable and generally more compelling to all sorts of critters of all shapes and sizes, so more healthy (protein++) veg recipes for backpacking would be cool and good. Actually, iirc, nonfat dry milk is the only non-vegan thing I did on my last trip, apart from stopping for pizza and beer at almost every town I passed...

So yeah. That's all for now.

*bombing the 8 miles down from Loveland Pass to Keystone was one of the best things I've ever experienced.
