Bentbrook

Former Boy Scout, lifelong camper, hiker, backpacker, and more recently a geocacher and amateur animal tracker. I grew up camping in the Linville Gorge, NC, and love my annual week-long backpacking trek in the mountains of southwestern Virginia. If I am free, I am in the wilderness. I am interested in bushcraft and DIY/MYOG projects, too, and I have a weakness for researching gear. I've discovered that Trailspace affords me the opportunity to contemplate my gear and to clarify my thinking about the pros and cons of what is in my current kit. Currently paring down my kit in terms of quantity and weight to carry a minimum sufficiency for enjoyment in the wilderness.
