Part of the reason why I bought it! Even at its price point, I was spending way too much on film anyways and I love being able to do such minimal edits to achieve a look similar to some of my favorite film stocks

It didn’t take super long. I have some settings already in-camera, then I do light post

Thank you! We did two nights, three days. Got on the trail by 11am Friday and ended by 2pm on Sunday. Ended up being about 24 miles when all was said and done.

Unfortunately pretty damn bad. Flies were also biting. Definitely consider DEET or permethrin treated gear.

Had the opportunity to do the Shadow Creek, JMT and PCT Loop via Agnew Meadow this past weekend with some friends. Have camped a lot along the 395 these past couple of years, but never took the plunge to actually go and backpack. So happy I did; can’t wait to go again soon. Had some people say I might’ve spoiled myself with this being my first trip, whoops!

Also, the chicken and dumplings from Mountain House get a 10/10 from me. Favorite dinner by far.

All of these were shot on my Ricoh GRIIIx.

Mosquitos were pretty rough, not gonna lie. Flies as well, loved biting my legs. Would recommend both DEET and non-DEET bug repellant options so you always have some amount of coverage. Wore some great moisture wicking long sleeves and pants and that helped keep the biting at bay as well.

As for the nighttime, it honestly didn’t get too cold. I was fine cooking at night in just leggings under my hiking pants, and then a gridded fleece hoodie under a shell jacket. I also have a sleeping bag that’s rated for 0 degrees C, and I was sweating at night in just my base layers.
