In late September we cut out on a Friday after school, grabbed some pals, and hiked into an old Forest Service lookout cabin for this episode of "24". Enjoy the video, and stay tuned for the story that includes a photo essay and gear list to be published at Backpacking Light tonight sometime.

Darn, should have gotten Chase's autograph when I was there in August, before he was so much of a star! Can't believe you called PROBARS out as 'power bars', big difference. Loved the video, so nice to get away close to home.

"I don't know what to do; Chase has packed a camp chair." This made me laugh out loud! The trepidation is beautiful. :)

Loved it! Inspired by it! Acted on it! New shelf in the garage to organize all of the camping gear for quick departures, and the start to a 24 hour pack has begun.
Thank you!

The look on your face when you realized the camp chair that Chase had packed....Priceless.
