Nature Calls Backpacking

Backpacking Barclay Lake, a Bridge Hammock and Avalanches


Fantastic overnighter to Barclay Lake, Washington. Short hike with plenty of downed trees to work though.  The beauty was doing this hike mid-week as it is very popular. Ended up with a fantastic camp spot looking right at Barclay Mountain.  The Helsdon Chrysalis Bridge Hammock was a lot of fun and very comfortable.  Went with the Trangia stove, and Snow Peak Titanium Cookset that performed great.  Big Agnes Oak Street Insulated sleep pad, Kelty Galaxy Down 30 degree bag. Mammut Heron 65 liter backpack, Nemo Fillo, REI Long Spoon, Mountain House Spaghetti, Via Coffee.  Solomon XT shoes, Darn Tough Socks, North Face Convertible Pants, Costco Puffy. Ribz Pack for camera stuff. Lots of Biolite lighting, Black Diamond Revolt Headlamp, Luci Light, MSR Sweetwater Filter.
