I moved to Seattle from NYC in November so I am really trying to take advantage of the natural beauty that surrounds this city...

I am preparing to spend a month or so (this fall) in the back country (mt. baker area) with my dog.

Towards that end, my life now consists of work, and training to acquire the skills necessary to survive in the wilderness (north cascades) with minimal gear (tent, sleeping bag, fly-fishing gear, flint, knife, canteen).

Pretty much every weekend is consumed by hiking or camping/fishing trips. Followed by shows and libations

You are more than welcome to attend, if you wish.

Am I self-sufficient? Self-sustaining? Having a minimal impact on my surroundings? If not, what do I need to do to make myself so

Up in the mountains. Being lame. Wrestling with my dog. Cooking. At a show.

I can *almost* fit my entire fist in my mouth?

Also, I make the best burrito you've never eaten. (mmm habeneros)

If you find me interesting.
If you find me repulsive.
If you're bored.
..I'm bored..
