Each year, our SAR team, San Diego Mountain Rescue, completes “Mountain Climb” trainings where we work on our teamwork and summer mountaineering skills. This year, a permit spot opened up on a trip for Middle Palisade (14,012′), one of California’s 14ers. Here’s the video trip report.
My pack for this trip was a 17L, 15 lb load – one of the lightest packs I’ve carried for a 2 night trip. Here’s the inventory.

Radioddity was nice enough to send this little GS-5B radio to us to take a look at. In this video, we take a look at it for the review… and we put it to the ultimate rainproof test… the shower test.

I took a trip to Grand Teton NP in Wyoming. 14 hours away and spent 4 days and 3 nights out there. One of those days was in Yellowstone. Grand Teton NP and Jackson Hole Wyoming were among my Dads favorite places I when up there during Fathers Day week because this was the last place we traveled to before he passed away. Good memories. I wish I had seen a moose like we did 14 years ago.
My solid gear choices after hours and hours of careful research and returns.
My Trail Chair is the Alite Monarch. Weighs 1.3 lbs. Good for the short hikes.
