I took a quick trip using the Xero Mesa Trail barefoot style shoes. The Borah Gear 7'x'9' tarp and bivy hasn't arrived yet so in the meantime I wanted to see if the hammock and bass fishing gear could fit in the Aonijie C9111 30L fastpack.
I created a custom loop to scout Vasquez Peak and Rock Springs Peak.
