24 miles and 6000’ gain, 3:00am to 8:20pm with beloved Amelia and the #hundredpeakssection. Humans are not well without species-appropriate exercise. Ancestral challenges like carrying useful weight for difficult distance should be the first intervention for anyone feeling less

For a retrospective, let Grok Imagine take the wheel. It really did happen just like that. With Amy Huang, Mark Perone and Larry Nelson. Where Larry went, they don’t use hashtags. #sandcastle #venicebeach #goblikitepe

We haven’t the means to build a cathedral or to donate gold, frankincense and myrrh. We have no wine to pour libations, nor even (eheu!) the blood of tyrants. To heaven we can offer — only sand. But quantity has a quality all its own.

This recalls to mind when Sisson posted a video tour of his infrared sauna and encouraged us all to install one in our mansions. To the average man locked in his techno oubliette with only an LED flashlight, a snickers bar and the gulag edition of Better Homes and Gardens, such
If you live in apartment building, get out! Especially if each apartment has their own wifi network.

If you form a relationship with someone expecting them to become other than what they already are, it is like raising a fish to be a chicken because there were no chickens at the pet store. You will only annoy and confuse the fish, and if you receive any eggs at all, they will be

You know how solitary confinement is considered inhumane for how it destroys people’s minds? That is how we feel about modern life. If I am not hewing down dozens of orcs with my halberd, I am really not feeling my best. Cock-blocked from my natural vocation, shovels and

We do not generally use the long vowel mark when inscribing Latin, but in this case it was necessary to resolve lexical ambiguity.

If you’re at a loss to heal the world, try throwing spears at the park while crowds of small children and their mothers cheer your every success. Then you will realize how these large accounts are overthinking things. “What are you doing?” asked the older man with the Nordic

We hit a new participation record with shovel vets Timothy, Mark and Amy teaching the trade to Donna, Colin, Angelina and Freya. Not Freyja — Freya. They are similar, but the extra letter adds a j ne sais quoi. If you wonder why I am constantly digging with everybody else’s

Lightly pigmented irises communicate gaze, impairing predation and glare tolerance to indicate intent. This genetic adaptation to a high-trust society is entirely foiled by sunglasses, and wearing them is a betrayal of ancestry beyond their contribution to retinopathy.

First group camping trip in life went swimmingly. Mt. Stanford at 12,822’ was nearly my highest of all time. As a field anthropologist with 50 peaks over 7000’ in the log, able to sustain a decent pace and load *while having fun*, I would like to share my differences in doctrine

Without strength, there is no trust. A weak man may have the best of intentions and often does. But when it comes time to keep his promises — he can’t. The world around him, the chaos within him, both are stronger than he is. Being defeated by forces stronger than oneself is

My destiny to become the Dana White of sandcastle sports took another great leap forward this Labor Day with the participation of @mehdigreefhorst from Amsterdam. Americans can understand Netherlands as the Colorado of Europe: everyone from there is strangely tall and healthy,

Amateurs: bailing without damming the intake; neglecting to widen the circumference. Not even a full-size shovel in sight. If the tide hadn’t been falling it would have been game over for these clowns. I could have achieved in less than five minutes what took them all afternoon.

Amy has now completed 199 peaks of the Hundred Peaks Section list 👏🏼 The man we met on the Pacific Crest Trail after Hawkins was going to nearby Throop. We told him we were en route to Copter Ridge. He said that he wouldn’t want to go there because of the ascent on the return.

“So you’re the one who makes the beach nice,” he said. He looked like a member of Modi’s cabinet. High level. “Where are you from?” “Santa Monica,” I confessed. “Really! How long have you been in Santa Monica?” “I was born here. That’s why I’m not like the others.” “What do
