Adventures Andreams

Adventures Andreams is about preparing well for time in the backcountry. Most trips that go wrong don't fail on the summit. They fail earlier, in a decision made at home: the shelter that wasn't tested, the water plan that didn't hold, the pack loaded the wrong way.
I document the preparation systems, gear, and judgment that make trips reliable, built from real trips and real mistakes across seasons and terrain. Right now it's pointed at a Sierra Nevada 14er attempt.
But preparation isn't the point on its own. Done well, it's what lets you stop fighting your gear and worrying what you forgot, and be where you are, away from the rest of it. That's why I prepare, and it's what the trip videos are about.
If you're getting ready for your own trips, expect field-tested gear reviews, preparation systems, and honest accounts of what held up and what didn't. The written field guides, the first link here, go deeper on specific decisions, from shelter setup to water treatment.
