    Cool!! Looks like a lot of fun. I've watched a few videos on Skurka, he seems like he would be pretty cool to hang out with.

    Looks like a great adventure! Nothing better than fun and learning in the back country from some of the best.

    Great report, Alex. I hiked out of Bear Lake last year in the spring snows. Thanks for sharing an informative report.

    I'm with you Alex. I have started giving more thought to my meals. I've always focused on making good meals that taste good (all homemade). I just recently starting using a spreadsheet as a menu planner and am trying to count calories. The hard part for me is figuring out calories on homemade meals/ingredients.

    Great blog post. I've read Andrew Skurka's book and thoroughly enjoyed it. He is a wealth of information. I'm sure it was a super fun trip.
