Self-Reliance in Suburbia

March 8, 2020 / Scott Leuthold / Commentary, Inspiration, Self-reliance, Sustainability
For several years, I had been planning to finish my backyard off with a swimming pool, a few flower beds, and a citrus grove of four citrus trees. My home and yard décor had been an old-world Italian theme and the part of our backyard that was near completion featured beautiful stone walls, columns, and [...]

The Genius of Self-Reliance

March 8, 2020 / Scott Leuthold / Commentary, Inspiration, Self-reliance, Sustainability
I have found there to be such a deeply rooted relationship between our internal evolution of Self with our association as a living, breathing human being within our natural surroundings. I have been pondering this concept of self-reliance and the attraction to societal conveniences lately, all while meeting and interacting with a number of new [...]

Eradicating The Plague of Sadness

March 7, 2020 / Scott Leuthold / Commentary, Inspiration, Sustainability
It's been some time since I have felt the desire to sit down and write. Life moves us along moment by moment with often countless tasks to fill the time yet in each of those precious moments while some aspect of humanity sees gain; advancements of technology to make life easier, the exodus of people [...]

Explored the top of Table Mesa located just north of the town of Cave Creek, Arizona with side-by-sides yesterday. I’ve been wanting to get to the top of the Mesa for about 25 to 30 years. The road is rough and the hike is far. I flew over it recently with my friend Alan in his Piper airplane and got pumped to get up there on foot.

Venture out. . I’m always looking at the macro a Venture out.
.
I’m always looking at the macro and micro. Everywhere you look you can find repeating patterns infinitely smaller and infinitely larger. Take this leaf, for instants, that I photographed last fall while camping on the north slope of Mount Humphreys outside of Flagstaff, Arizona. Sitting upon this leaf is an entire ecosystem. Anything living within it believes that, contained therein, is the entire world. All of the joy, all of the sorrow, all of the seemingly monumental challenges in a so-called day are encapsulated within that bubble of water so elegantly sitting upon that leaf. Delicate and short is life. As the water evaporates, an end to that world will come to pass.
.
If this were the world you lived within, would you ponder that there are greater things, greater beings looking down and into your world? Would you realize just how delicate it truly is? Would you make every effort to sustain it for as long as possible? Would you believe there are other similar worlds surrounding you that are in various stages of birth or demise? Would you ever look up above and wonder what exotic life forms there may be outside of your realm? Would you live every moment as if the miracle of your world existing at all could disappear with the slightest breeze?
.
There are many valuable lessons to be learned from nature. Put her in your sights. Bring her to the forefront. Embrace her and you will begin to know who you truly are.

Went out for a solo ride on the KTM tonight. Ended up out on 128th St. Some of you may recall watching my bikepacking video where I rode down this dirt street. Came out here to watch the sunset over Troon mountain.

Venture out. . A few sneak peek photographs of my Venture out.
.

A few sneak peek photographs of my Sonoran Desert bikepacking adventure that will be posted on my YouTube channel, 4XPEDITION Adventurer, likely Sunday afternoon. Yesterday’s leg was 30 miles of singletrack through the desert from my home in Carefree to my sister’s house in Fountain Hills where she had an ice cold Blue Moon waiting for me. It even rained a little bit which was awesome because the desert smells so good after a rain.

T-12 hours til launch. 3-days, 60 miles of single-track mountain biking. Expected weather: 60’s and sunny.

My sister promises cold beer when I get to her house tomorrow night. I might even interview her a little bit for the channel. She’s got an interesting midlife story. Inspiring.
.
Thursday night, I will be camping at an undeveloped campsite within McDowell Mountain Regional Park halfway home to Carefree.

Loving this bike.

Watch for the episode to drop on Sunday likely. And, TEAM 4X members watch for bonus content to be uploaded to the Official Adventurer portal, also!

Venture out. . Who’s ready for the next adventu Venture out.
.

Who’s ready for the next adventure? I love backpacking and mountain biking so  I am trying my hand at Bikepacking. Weather permitting departure  Wednesday morning for a three-day trip in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona.  This will be my maiden voyage so I’m testing everything out. Departing from Carefree, AZ and following all single track to Fountain Hills, AZ. I  think it is likely about 30 miles each way. I will overnight at my sister’s house and on the return will camp overnight in the desert on the east slope of East End Peak in the McDowell Range. The trip is mostly downhill to Fountain Hills from Carefree and all uphill home which is why I’ve put the camp out on the return. If everything goes as planned, a 4XPEDITION Adventurer episode will release Sunday. Did you miss the Cross Country Ski Backpacking to an off-grid yurt episode that posted this past Sunday? Be sure to check that out., too!
