The grounding force of nature….what a crazy year it’s been, and without two things in my life I’d probably go a little cuckoo, and that’s the backcountry and coffee.
Both of which I find best shared with friends and family. Maybe on some rock furniture.
This past year has been full of changes, personal and professional growth, but not without its obstacles and stresses.
Not sure if heading into the backcountry is just an excuse to have that morning cup of coffee in solitude with an amazing view or if it’s just the perfect combination of time and space.
Surely I’m grateful to live where we live; have access to these things and be surrounded by good people and good coffee.
Shoutout to the best gear I’ve packed with, introduced to me by a buddy, Fire Maple is no joke. Perfect kettle, the pour rate is on point, boils up in seconds, nothing works better at elevation for the coffee head.
