Backpacking Banff

Posted on October 29, 2013October 29, 2013 by

A few weeks ago I finally got out “backpacking”. I use quotes because the hike from the car was only about 50 yards. I had planned to go to Barrier Lake and had even booked a spot. This was the fist weekend in October. “You are the only one there booked for the whole weekend …

HIIT

Posted on October 28, 2013 by dgauld

I have always wanted to do some backcountry camping. The main obstacle has been to find a good lightweight tent. One day, I had stopped into Atmosphere to get some items for our ultra comfort otentik camping at two jack, when I impulse purchased a north face rock 22. Since we’ve returned I’ve been acquiring additional …

Finding Inspiration

Posted on April 7, 2013April 7, 2013 by

Life is a never ending ladder of challenges, accomplishments and failures. Right now I’ve been trying to get back to a level of fitness that has evaded me for the last few years. In addition to diet, exercise and focus we often neglect inspiration. It’s important to keep that tank filled. I found this on American …
