Homemade Wanderlust

Took Bratcher hiking and he was devastated when his sweet gum ball disappeared in the creek. FOUR WEEKS later he remembered. I didn’t think babies under 2 years had a memory like that 😳 #hiking #creek #raisethemright #outdoors #nature

If you work out, what’s your why? I am NOT someone who enjoys working out. But I enjoy playing w/ my kids, hiking & feeling healthy. I want to give my kids 100%, & someday, their kids too. So, I sucked it up & remembered my “why” as I cussed at every set 😆 #teamliveforever

Creek time with my buddy ☀️ He found and threw a sweet gum ball in and was devastated when it went bye bye (and I felt horrible because I’m the one who told him to throw it in 😜). We forget the things we once had to learn ♥️

The Homemade Wanderlust Edition Neck Knives by MT Knives are coming back this week! As usual, we will only have 100 knives and then they will be gone again until next year. For more information visit HomemadeWanderlust.com

Workout buddy says it’s too early and cold for all this mess. But she’s holding out because there’s sausage in the pan in the kitchen 😆

I’ve been so fortunate to experience amazing sights in the past 10 years and 11,000+ miles. Here’s to 11,000+ more!

I’ve definitely seen some gnarly privies. This tent pot on Kilimanjaro wasn’t the worst, but I’d rather squat over a cat hole. Do y’all prefer makeshift civilized pots or nature dumps instead?

Where is your favorite hiking done—the desert, swamp, green tunnel, thermal areas, alpine zones, etc.?

Bratcher and I are outside cleaning my AZT backpacking gear and getting some daily vitamin D 😅☀️ What are y’all up to this fine Sunday?
