Hi I’m Richard. I’m a backpacking enthusiast and commercial airline pilot. When I’m not in the front of the airplane I like to hop in the back and visit the national parks and forests of the US. On this site you’ll find stories of my adventures, tips for backpacking and my opinions and reviews on the products that I may or may not choose to carry in my pack.If you ever have any questions feel free to comment. I will always reply! Thanks for visiting! Now get outside.
