Testing Heat Pads on a Winter Hike

A reluctant start to a winter hike turned into a rewarding day on the mountain. With temperatures plunging below freezing and low-hanging clouds, hesitation nearly kept me on the couch. But a nudge from my wife – and a pair of heated warming padsmade the change.

Hey friends, just some quick snaps from our day in the mountains today.

It was a nice little loop through autumn foliage. I showed my wife a trail that I had walked last year alone and found it worth sharing with her.

A really beautiful day, lots of sun, lots of mountain spirit, just very relaxing. ❤️
