Hello! Welcome to my blog. My name is Em and I work as a cook in rural Minnesota where I live with my hubby. I hope you'll enjoy this assortment of random things I like and mini-adventures I'm living.

3+ months until Superior

It's only 3+ months until I head off to my first multi-day backpacking adventure. The plan is to start at the North end of the Lake Superior Hiking Trail and hike south from there for about two weeks. I had today off, so I spent it refining my packing list and jotting notes of what I still need. 

All I'm missing are a backpacking stove and fuel, a few more moisture-wicking layers, extra batteries, and food (dehydrator is running in the kitchen as I write).

After spreading all the gear out on the floor, it doesn't look like much:


But somehow when combined it becomes an almost bulging pack:


Amazing to think that of all I have and enjoy at home, all I really need can fit in an 80 L pack. It makes even my junkiest possession look like a luxury item. 

Just looking at this pack nearly ready for the trails makes me excited. June come quickly!! 😁🌲🎒
