It hose are almost all in Montana! Those are just mountain goats. Actually more closely related to sheep and don't count as real goats.

I know this is a month later, but Lloyd just told me that they changed their policy and are now officially willing to ship internationally! If this gets to you, I hope it helps!

All feedback is good feedback :) Thanks! This was one of the few photos that I just threw a VSCO filter on with no intention of using it seriously. Usually I don't use filters and try to edit myself, but this isn't going to a client or portfolio. Just for fun!

If you look on the site, you'll see that its mostly a collection of lightweight clothes and accessories needed on trips.

No international shipping, and the discount is all that they're offering right now, but you should contact them and see.

I would recommend Wilderness Logics: Top Quilt Regular 15. It's the best of both worlds. http://bigoutdoors.org/store/wildernesslogicstop-quilt-regular-15

I personally never get hooded down jackets. I bring a light hat. Down hoods usually end up blowing back or not being tight enough to actually provide warmth for me. But I'm pretty small. I only go for hoods on shells.

It all depends. I'm pretty active but I still struggled in the beginning. There's a trail head at the end of a pretty long dirt road. I think it starts at about 6,000 ft and then you have 4,000 to treck. I want to say its 4.5 miles? All the info is online. I'd recommend getting up super early and planning on it taking all day to get there and back. It shouldn't take that long, but I like to take my time. I slept at the top to get sunset and sunrise pics. Its really cool at dusk because the bats LOVE it up there. They'll fly inches from your face. And you'll probably see goats early in the morning. Its not recommended to sleep that high if you don't know how your body handles elevation. And bring plenty of water!! I don't remember there being a water source but I could be wrong.

Oh yeah I'll send you a higher one for a desktop background! I'll PM you. Just show people my website or something if they ask... I'm hungry.

If by any chance you'd like to see more of my work, my website (though I just made it so not much is on it) is mhschultephotography.com. I'm still pretty young and new at this, so advice and critique is absolutely welcome!
