🆘Help Support Two Backpackers Rebuild Their Trail Lives.

👉The trail provides—but right now, it needs a little help. Two members of our backpacking community lost everything they owned in the LA fires, including the gear that allowed them to find peace, adventure, and home on the trail.

🥾Thanks to the generosity of Hyperlite and Big Agnes, they now have backpacks and tents. But they still need sleeping bags, sleeping mats, and other essential gear to get back out there. With no home, the trail is where they need to be.

👉I’m reaching out to manufacturers, but in the meantime, I’m asking our incredible community for support. If you can donate or contribute in any way, it would mean the world. Let’s help them get back to the place they love most—the trail.

Any little bit helps.

🙏Please DM me if you’d like to help. Or Venmo me -wade-7

Thank you! ❤️

Thank You!

On this day (January 3) in 1975, President Gerald Ford signed the Grand Canyon Enlargement Act which expanded Grand Canyon National Park to its current size by recognizing the entire Grand Canyon — from the mouth of the Paria River to the Grand Wash Cliffs — as a natural feature of national significance.

This bill, which was strongly endorsed by Arizona Senator Goldwater, Senator Fannin and Congressman Rhodes, approximately doubled the size of Grand Canyon National Park and also added some 185,000 acres to the Havasupai Indian Reservation.

You can review the bill here:https://www.congress.gov/93/statute/STATUTE-88/STATUTE-88-Pg2089.pdf
