- 29F (-34C) this morning at weather station Bahalla 🌡️. It was chilly shoveling out the propane tank, clearing the weather sensors and feeding the birds. Let's hear those temperature, frozen pipe and exploding tree reports! Even from our Aussie, tropical and Arctic friends! ... See MoreSee Less

At what point does something stop being equipment…
and start becoming part of how you move through the world?

Boots have a way of disappearing once they’re right... until they don’t.
And when they don’t, everything else suddenly matters more than it should.

I kept thinking about that while recording this one.

but something told you it wasn’t?

Sometimes it’s the only thing that does.

This episode has been sitting with me longer than most.

Exploding Tree Season is back!

Anyone else celebrating the season properly? ... See MoreSee Less

Some things don’t reveal themselves when they’re new.

Boots are like that.

You don’t really know them in the store — you know them after miles, after weather, after the moment you stop thinking about them at all. That’s when they’ve either earned your trust… or failed you.

This episode isn’t really about boots.
It’s about what we rely on without ceremony — and what that says about how we move through the world.
