I am primarily a hiker, backpacker, and camper.  Since I'm an office worker in the corporate world, most of my trips are 1-2 night weekenders, with occasional longer trips.  My longest backpacking trip so far (aside from spending a summer of mixed backpacking & roadside camping in my teens) has been a 30-day thru-hike of the John Muir Trail in 2012.

I've been doing these things since I was a kid when we went family camping.  There have been off-again, on-again periods of outdoorsy stuff throughout my adult life as a result of getting caught up in other life activities.  Over the past several years I've been making up for lost time - with the past two years being where I've done the most backpacking of any years throughout my life so far.

In the coming years I look forward continuing this trend, and hope to find time to also do some canoeing, kayaking, and mountain biking.
