As this day of flowers, candy, and love shoutouts wraps up, don’t forget about your most important relationship. Your adventure buddies! That special person who belays you for hours as you obsessively project. The friends that get up in the dark to ensure you’re at the trailhead as sunrise hits. The ones who count ounces, encourage more miles, and hand you a snack when you’re about to bonk. This one goes out to all the devoted belaytionships, hiking buddies, mountain lovers, and adventure junkies. • • • And thanks to @adamholston for the pic and @thruorfalse for the adventure inspiration. Good luck on the AT! • • • • #adventurestartshere #gearjunkie #belaytionship #hikingbuddy #relationshipgoals #mountainsarecalling #nobo2019 #hiking #atprep #nobo #appalachiantrail #atclassof2019 #gearporn #coupleswhohike #georgiatomaine #osprey #enlightenedequipment #thermarest #mountainhardwear #sawyersqueeze #tarptent #getoutside #gearjunkielife

Looking for a winter adventure?⠀ ⠀ How about fat biking into the Idaho backcountry and staying in a remote cargo cabin.⠀ ⠀ As our contributor reported, “Sporting 25 kilometers of fat bike friendly groomed nordic trails, Idaho’s Jug Mountain Ranch has carved out a nice round-the-year niche for active families. For unique digs, the Ranch dragged the corrugated cargo box through the stands of Ponderosa Pines and perched it over the Jug Mountain Reservoir, so close, in fact, that in summer you can swing your legs off the deck and dangle your toes in the water below.”⠀ ⠀ And we’re looking for more winter getaways. Have a favorite cabin, yurt, or campsite?

"Yesterday was one of those days when you don’t go pee for 4 hours (and hold it even tho you really have to go) because the skiing is just too good😂” - Who else can relate?🙋🏻‍♀️ - ⛷: @madisonnnrose and 📸: @rockomenzyk .⠀ .⠀
