The sun was setting in the Colorado desert and we’d lost the trail. But we survived the brutally cold night with 2 emergency blankets stashed in our packs, 4 ounces of water between 3 people, + a box of Junior Mints. I will never forget it.

I had a disaster of a time trying to summit Mount Princeton when I got not just one but TWO flat tires! http://www.50by25.com/2014/07/hiking-report-mount-princeton-part-1.html

We have dealt with some very cold conditions, and getting lost in fog once, but always worked out. We carry gear to be prepared!

Voted. Fun prizes – could def use this gear on the PCT this summer!

While hiking the Long Range Traverse in Newfoundland (a hike with no set trail, you must navigate your own way) my friend and I decided to push on to the next camp site after making great time to our original destination by 1pm. A couple navigational errors and countless kilometers of bush-whacking later we arrived to the second site just as the sun was setting, around 11pm.
Despite our disastrous afternoon, coming over that last ridge and seeing the campsite will remain one of my favorite hiking memories for a long time!

Have never run with winter spikes before! Do they feel clunky? I would love to try them!

Despite experience and many years of an outdoor work career, the inevitable happened when I was tired and in a hurry to return to a vehicle. I assumed I was travelling (on snowshoes) back the right direction…but without checking my compass did a complete opposite trek.
After a few hours and realizing I was lost…I prepared for a cold winter night sleepover alone in the wilderness. Fortunately, radio contact was possible and concerned co workers tracked me down. I was prepared for the night, but forever grateful not to have the unplanned campout!

No emergency blanket needed, but I did get “lost” running on some trails I was unfamiliar with. I was able to find my way after tacking on extra miles. I ran out of water, fuel, and it was getting very cold and dark and I was not prepared :( I started running with a map after that adventure!

Was 4 wheeling with a friend and got stuck on a boulder :( waited hours for a vehicle big enough and tough enough to pull us out. It was on the edge of the mountain. The beginning of the end of my fears.

Mt.Massive ended up being just that…I thought we were going to end up with a mountain rescue…luckily we made it down but lemme tell you–there is no lesson harder learned than the one bred from stubbornness and pride.
Oof.

running up mt rose in Reno, 6 miles in 6 miles out. 1/2 mile from the peak, at 10,600 ft, my husband says, I lost the car keys. They fell out of his pocket. 6 1/2 mile back to the car key, look around all of the sierra nevada mtns for a single subaru key, asking people passing if they found a key on the trail. got to the trail head, trying to figure out how to break into the car to get a cell phone to call someone to bring us another key, and we notice the key in a park pass envelope sitting behind the wind shield wiper. some kind stranger had found it, and left it for us on the car. I could’ve cried right there. almost killed my husband a few times. now we laugh about it, and i ask him a zillion times when we adventure if he has the key. and also carry an extra, and a cell phone . :)

One Autumn, I was hiking with a few friends along a rocky river bank in a state park and the river was quite low for that time of year. It was beautiful. Bright yellow and red leaves covered most of the riverbank and the stones that we were walking in; it looked like a carpet of leaves. One of my friends was walking a little ahead of us when suddenly he wasn’t there anymore.
But then his head popped up from under a bunch of leaves. He was soaking wet! He thought he was walking on more rocks covered with leaves but really, it was a huge, 4 foot deep natural pool and the fallen leaves had made it look like it was solid ground.
He was okay, just a little miffed that he was soaking wet the entire hike back. But for us onlookers, it was hilarious.

Lost the trail and ended up the wrong canyon outside of Aspen, CO. After a lot of bushwacking, mud slogging, and creek crossing we ended up with a spectacular little camping site with no one else for miles around!

I lost my contact lenses while skiing! When I reached the top of the ascent on a backcountry ski trip I, I took my sunglasses off to put my goggles and helmet on. The wind was blowing so hard that when I blinked, both my contact lenses popped out of my eyes. I am nearly blind without them. Luckily my husband was wearing a bright red jacket. We agreed I had to trust him and follow the red jacket. I am still not quite sure how I made it down (especially through one of the tree runs). And the sensation of skiing without seeing was one of the strangest feelings I have experienced. Until I got Lasik, I always carried a back-up pair!

Been fortunate but forgetful. Did forget cooking pots on mountaineering trip! Had to improvise and climb faster before running out of food and water.

Moved to Costa Rica for 6 months to teach surf lessons and ended up blinding hitchhiking my way all over the country for a month. UNFORGETTABLE. Strange. Exotic. Daring… but a life-changing experience in trust, hope, and flow…

I was on a 4 day backpacking trip in the Zion area. I was with a good friend and we were both packed up with dehydrated food to eat for the trip. Once we were to our site, we realized that we had brought the wrong nozzle for the stove. We were in designated wilderness and had signed a waiver to not light any fires. We went through our pack and found that all we had were granola bars and fruit snacks to eat since we couldn’t cook our hot meals. We didn’t let that ruin our trip and spent three days in the desert with fruit snacks, granola, and whiskey! It was one of my favorite backpacking trips.

The first time I ever kayaked class III rapids was after a very heavy rain, so the river was flooded. I had joined a local paddling club with my 10 foot kayak that was designed for easy paddles. The group leader recommended everyone wear a wet suit because of the frigid temperatures. I did not have one and thankfully, I did not flip like three of my fellow paddlers. However, in my inexperience, I put my paddle in on the wrong side of my boat while navigating one of the long sets of rapids. My boat spun around and I helplessly went through backwards. I was terrified but had no idea how to right myself. After the trip, I decided that I would never paddle flooded rivers or anything above class II again.

Lost – no – but stuck without snow shoes in 4 ft of snow…not fun

Just having me along for the adventure greatly increases your odds of it going off the rails, j/k.
Do our best to do as much planning as possible. Check weather reports, study about the trail/area we are exploring.
I do know now, to check the ingredients in vitamins. I purchased some vitamins, not thinking they put paba in them. I am allergic and found out the hard way when I went on my first hike. Oh my goodnss, I was bumpier than a toad and itchy as all heck. Had to keep myself entirely covered for about seven weeks for that stuff to work it’s way out of my system. Nothing like hiking in July having to wear long sleeves and a scarf to avoid a bad rash.

In 2007 my family went on a trip to Belize. One of our excursions was to trek through a cave known as Actun Tunichil Muknal – which contained skeletal remains, ceramics and stoneware inside. In order to reach the cave our tour guides led us through three streams and approximately 45-60 minutes of hiking. To get to certain areas of the caves we had to hike and swim, it was incredible! Once out of the cave we hiked back to the first stream (now raging river) because of rainfall. Our guide mentioned that a time or two before groups have had to stay in the jungle over night until the streams were passable. [Panic started to set it!] Long story short, a couple of our guides were brave enough to somehow swim across and tether a rope between two trees, which then allowed us to cross without being swept away. We all made it back safe and sound, but needless to say this was a scary unexpected twist in our excursion!
