My son is going on his first YM hike today. It's an easy 3mile walk to a lake

My wife hasn't trusted me on hiking gear ever since I took her on Angels Landing

Yup, it's no joke. Took some YM on an a MTB ride that was supposed to be 10 miles in So. Utah a couple of weeks ago,

Exactly. If everyone has drank it all, what will you use to cool down someone

Wimp. Who needs water hiking up a 1,000 mountain in the desert?

Wait... Angels Landing on the first date? There’s so many questions...

I’ve accidentally shoved a few people off

Heath Squashwell

It was not a big deal until I took my kids on the hike. Stressed me out.

You did angels landing AND a movie on the first date!?

Heath Squashwell

The hike makes sense if you knew each other...but after a long hike you went to

Yeah, your wife is getting a little too protective. As a former leader, I want kids to be prepared, but

I remember a very similar experience.

In my troop, it was cans of beef stew and chili.

That pretty much described how it went with my wife and sons

My kids had a leader a couple years ago that packed a bigcase of water bottles.
