Ready for pre-trek planning stage to be over. Much thinking about supply boxes, backpack weight, and water. I’m ready. Weight of pack without water— 27 lbs. Will be carrying 5 liters (11 lbs) of water first day. Total— 38 lbs. Still looking to reduce.

To live awhile without a sliver of distance between me and what I experience. To live without metaphor, to experience the world alive and flowing.

To root myself beneath the thousand dreams and excuses that keep me from the ground I walk.
