Into Thick Air – Jerimoth Hill, RI

Posted onNovember 26, 2006November 17, 2023AuthorPaul Mags3 Comments

Jerimoth Hill in Rhode Island has a rather curious history. At 812 feet, it is not exactly a mountain that towers over the countryside. The summit is a nondescript pile of rocks in a wooded area within minutes of the Read More …

“He’s Footloose and Fancy Free — For 2160 Miles

Posted onFebruary 7, 2006December 15, 2015AuthorPaul MagsLeave a comment

  In 1998, online journals were not common at all. Online journals about hiking were esp. rare. My thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, in addition to an online journal, made my hike interesting enough that Providence Journal did a story Read More …

“Not Even The Kitchen Sink

Posted onFebruary 6, 2006April 25, 2016AuthorPaul MagsLeave a comment

An article in Mechanical Engineering Magazine that featured a photo of mine of Glacier Peak on the Pacific Crest Trail. The fact that engineers loved the idea of lightweight backpacking is not surprising. Nice to see they enjoy natural beauty Read More …

Ultralight Catechism: When a Toolkit Becomes Dogma
New gear we liked for 2025: Solid, reliable tools that kept @ramblinghemlock and me warm, fed, and comfortable from the desert to the mountains. A mix of DIY, cottage gear, higher-end pieces, and budget picks — just the things that worked for two people who try to get outdoors as much as they can.
Some time on the Oregon Coast with @ramblinghemlock and the family.
A little hiking in Eugene before we head to the coast.
@ramblinghemlock and I squeezed in a local hike before heading off to see family. Red rocks, ancient images, and the La Sals dusted with snow in the distance; a perfect send-off.
@ramblinghemlock and I did some more structured rambling in an area we hadn’t visited in a while. We even set a new PR one day - No more than a mile from camp and eight hours of consistent hiking!
