Hey Smokey, is this you?

This is a viewpoint I struggle with. For me, the purpose of hiking is enjoying the feeling of being outdoors, being alone in a beautiful place. Sure it's nice to see nice things, but what does it matter if I go back the way I came out? Not to say there's anything wrong with your viewpoint - I know ...

Key and Peele for a hip and modern sketch comedy styling.

Music for the road, that's one thing but ultimately it's just whatever you like the most. The real challenge (or skill) is choosing some music for the times when you're hanging out with a bunch of new people early on. This requires some Dj ability and there's some finesse required here. What kind of...

You couldn't find a loop to do bro?
What's wrong with it out and back? Don't tell me you're one of those "only do loop" types

Yeah Smokes, that seems a bit amateur-ish.

And is your birthday really 4/20?

Apparently there was a show on MTV called "G's to Gents" or something like that where they took some thuggy hip-hop people and transformed them into refined society gentlemen. Got them all dressed up formally and taught them how to order at fancy restaurants and whatever else. I did a volu...

It could be an article of clothing, but maybe some other piece of gear that you cannot live and work as a field tech without. For me, that item is the Under Armour Heat Gear undershirt. It's made from recycled bottles and is made in Jordan which is novel. I mean, what items do you have from Jordan? ...

Based on your posts (here and others), you seem to fancy yourself as some kind of rebel living outside the mainstream, but what could be more mainstream than social media? Not only is it intended to be divisive and sow discord, bringing out the worst of everyone in the process, it was originally de...

Similar to what Todd says, I just chill with my folks but I help out around the house. A lot. Basically a live-in cook/maid. Again, no shame. I'm proud of my skills. Someone mentioned before that being able to cook for your crew is a great skill, so trying stuff out cooking for a big group is a good...

Not exactly wildlife, but it does really tell a story about life in the western US. I call it "Wyoming Traffic Jam." And yes, I just had to sit there until they all left, which was a while. Sorry about the focus, but in a way it does kind of add to the sense of chaos.

Ah man, I gotta change all that? JK - thanks for doing that. Hopefully it'll help!

Take care of the equipment. Pretend like it's your most valuable possession. Your supervisor won't like it if you lose or damage something and they need to replace it. That applies to your field vehicle too.

I don't know much about birds, what's the deal with these chickens?

Wow man, some heavy stuff there but also a light touch in all the right places. Digging this writing style and can't wait for more. Those are all your photos on the website version?

Hey everyone. Shouting out from Southern Cali - born and raised near LA. Which is why I love getting out in the field! I try to do all my fieldwork here or in other parts of the west that are close by. Even here in SoCal there's so much public land and land and wildlife management going on. I'm liki...
