    There doesn't seem to be much of an outdoor culture in Salt Lake City, or Utah in general. Yes, people go outside, but not nearly as much as in Oregon or Colorado. Fewer people going out means fewer...

    The outdoor industry is concerned that Utah will sell off ALL public lands in the state if they get a hold of them. Jason Chaffetz already proposed selling 3 million acres of public land. That same...

    Scott, do you have any idea how far up North Hatch Canyon you can go by following the canyon floor? I know there is a 4WD road to the North of the canyon that somewhat follows the rim. I am wondering...

    This is why I love Bogley :). Normally the shuttle drive names their price, not the person looking for the ride. Kinda like a taxi does. Now everyone will say they will give me a ride for $10,000 in...

    I don't get it. Both Brigham Young and Moses are often depicted in paintings as having a beard. Would neither be welcomed as BYU students? But of course Jesus drank wine and Mormons cannot drink...

    Have you thought of purchasing light weight trail gaiters and going with a low top all leather shoe like the Vasque Mantra 2.0? That way even when you wear shorts you will not get any dirt coming in...

    If you are into the Simplicity Movement, you should read Walden by Thoreau. All the new books on Simplicity are just copies of Walden. Thoreau even provides an itemized household budget. Food was...

    The bears cannot be that dangerous as they have banned bear spray in Yosemite. I have backpacked +150 miles in the Sierras this year and never once seen a bear, and only 1 bear track. More people =...

    The more educated and well paid you are, generally the more specialized you become. For someone like me, I was doing research for five years in Europe, and cannot simply leave that off my resume.

    Yes, I did the trip solo. To get to where Chimney Canyon meets Muddy Creek, will take your 6.5h. It looks like you might be able to then go up Chimney Canyon and take the mining road West of Muddy...

    Getting an MBA from a low profile university isn't going to help you. MBA programs allow you to network with people with clout. Most middle managers do not have MBA's, and are going to be reluctant...

    In the Bundy situation, the BLM is concerned about the land, not the money. Freezing Bundy's assets does not prevent his cows from damaging the flora and fauna of the area his cows are grazing on....

    The sleeping bag I have is 2 lbs. My wife's sleeping bag is 2 lbs 12oz. Her bag would be equivalent to a 0C men's bag, which is why it weights so much, but it does stuff down really small. It looks...

    I do not think it would be easy to use a retrievable anchor. The only rock that is available for an anchor is undercut a lot. I would think that a rope wrapped around the rock would get pinched when...

    Here is a trip report about the Youngs Canyon/Lean-To loop. I did it a few years back. It is a very nice loop. Just watch the season you go, as the bench sections can get pretty hot.

    I walked the the road from the Jacob Arch TH to the Forty Mile TH to get to the Crack-in-the-Wall. It took us ~1 hour. The road after the Jacob Arch TH does get sandier. There are few places you can...
