This website, Instagram and YouTube channel are platforms for sharing my personal experiences with backpacking and nutrition to maintain health and longevity through outdoor activities.
I am primarily focussed on hiking; getting from point A to point B, carrying as little pack weight as necessary for the conditions, covering longer distances, engaging with as much of the landscape as possible and enjoying the physical effort involved. Camping and the necessary gear collection are mechanisms for enjoying the journey.
I hope you enjoy the content. TTFN.

The Back in Pack app is a tool for anyone to manage their gear and pack contents to facilitate more enjoyable back packing.
It is my way of attempting to give back (a little) to this community who have given me so much.
I do not make money through the app excepting voluntary donations – any app related subscriptions are purely intended to cover the cost of hosting the app and storing / transferring user data.
Note: I am neither a doctor or a qualified outdoor leader, so nothing on this website or shared in videos constitutes medical or outdoor advice. The content is purely for entertainment, or information related to my personal activities and experiences.
It is essential that you take personal responsibility for your own health and know the risks of the outdoors especially when venturing into the backcountry where help may not be readily accessible.
I appreciate that sharing content on the InterWeb brings a level of engagement with a wide community of people. If you have any constructive feedback for myself (through the contact form) or wish to make a positive contribution to the community (through the community forums – coming soon), then it is most appreciated.
