From the Couch to the Trail

Very cool idea. The wife and I are also having a bit of a "get out there and just do something" renaissance. I've not yet convinced her to get a hammock yet, or spend a night in the backcountry, but we're working on it. She loves a good day hike though.

I'll be following with interest. You're on my feedly list.

Thanks!

Keep working on her. My wife was slow to buy in to staying out overnight, but I didn't rush it and just sort of let it become the next logical step in our journey. She loves it now! Thanks for reading and following our journey.

I'm sending this link to my wife in hopes that Cathy's point of view will be the prod she needs to get back out with me (that and some new gear I'm contemplating).
