Is it Spring?

Tiny House AND Skiing!

Why didn't I think of this! This crew from Outdoor Research are travelling to ski spots across North America this winter in a tiny house - combining the backcountry ethos with the tiny house movement, and making short films along the way. Even better news, right now, they are in Nelson, BC.

Quote of the Day

"A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."


- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, Faust & W.H. Murray, The Scottish Himalaya Expedition

Farm Dreaming

I read somewhere recently that when you’re searching for a new path you should go back to what you wanted to do when you were 6. Ask any kid that age what they want to do when they grow up and they’ll probably have an answer. From what I remember, mine was ved-erin-arian (veterinarian), small zoo keeper and ranch owner. At 10 I BEGGED my parents for a pony; at 12 I made a list of 100 horse names with my best friend Stephanie; at 14 I was learning to jump horses in a ring. And then all that stuff just sort of stopped. And here I am in my 30s wondering if I what I should really be doing is farming.  

What if I just tried it? On a small scale. What's the worst thing that could happen?
