Daddy needs a new backcountry ski pack
Does anyone know who might make a backpack with all the external needs of backcountry skiing, but also is well designed to carry a decent amount of camera equipment, tent, food, and dry clothes?
CPAC Soccer Game
I was finally able to attend a soccer game and watch Kathryn play. It was so much fun to watch Kathryn and the other girls play so aggressively. They have completely dominated the first two games, outscoring their opponents 9-1. I was surprised on how big the pitch was. Those girls were running! Kathryn is playing on a U-11 team. About half the girls are playing up from younger age groups because our club is brand new and just starting out. Watching the younger girls play tough on (sometimes much) bigger girls was inspiring. The team's coach, Ian Hill, is really quite different from other youth sports coaches. He coaches with Love. Sounds corny, right? It's not touchy-feely namby-pamby stuff. He is teaching the girls accountability to your teammates, coaches, and parents because you love them. He makes them run at practice until its uncomfortable (maybe even some tears) because he wants them to know what it feels like in a game to keep going when you think you can't run...
Cooke Custom Sewing could either make one or modify one for you. But honestly, I think what you are looking for is called a sherpa. They are available in Nepal.

What would the import duties on a Sherpa be?
ReplyDeleteMidwest Mountaineering sent out an email that included a picture of the staff out snowshoeing. They all had their gear strapped down to plastic sleds. The sleds were rigged to waist belts. That sounds about perfect to me. Winter gear is heavy, and a sled would make it much easier. A few bungee cords should keep everything in place, even if you are on an incline.
