Wilderness 2005

Each year a group of buddies take off for the wilderness to reclaim not only our manhood but to re-connect with each other and the simplicity of the world we live in.

Our cabin has no electricity, running water, lights, or traditional heat. We keep ourselves warm by throwing logs into a black metal stove by the wall and keep light by candles placed along the table and window sills. Our water is located outside a ways and needs to be pumped out of a well into a bucket to be used for drinking and cooking.

This tradition has lasted a solid 7 years since we first discovered the rustic beauty of Wilderness State Park and strong plans to continue for years to come. The same group of guys, the same place and same rejuvenation to head into another year of life.
