Simplicity & Movement On The Nipmuck Trail

Join me for one of my recent fall backpacking trips in the northeast, along part of the Nipmuck Trail. On this trip I took advantage of the opportunity to get out with some old favorites like my 7x9 flat tarp, but also put some more mileage on something new that I've been using on some trips this year. Sandals. This trip was a lot of fun and the landscape was beautiful with the fall colors. For a look at my gear list for this hike see below 👇.
