Your picture of the day...

Spring fed brook, flipping icy cold, but great for cooling off. Not a soul anywhere, took a stroll downstream and found a couple of really deep bits, good enough to submerge myself.

I'd love to fish that stream it just looks so "fishy", go with light gear, a pocket full of maggots and keep moving, no finer way to spend a summers afternoon.

Borrowed this one. Southern BC is cooked, coast is OK.

Out for a walk today, I saw some heavy rain clouds coming in. Fortunately I had a poncho with me, so I had to decide whether to put the poncho on and keep walking or set it up as a shelter and have a mug of tea whilst the rain passes. I made my decision...

Bit of bushcraft with an RTAK II ;-)

This is an old photo, from 11 years ago. This was my first ever bivi, at stickle tarn, part of a 2 night trip. It was one of those endicotts butchered Dutch bivi's, with the velcro opening and mat loops on the back. Sooo heavy! The Dutch foam mat was great too. I look back on this fondly as since then it has inspired atleast 5 other folks to bivi and one in particular has bivi'd over 100 times since. That is pretty epic.

Again, not mine. From further up in the krumholz near the tree line.
The village is down there between the trees, just about the center of the image.
