My Journey To Freedom And Ultralight Backpacking - Plot & Excerpts
Our business partnership, Dancing Light Gear, began October 2000. I earned just enough to support my investment in designing, creating and testing backpacking gear for personal use, while maintaining my source of income by cooking at the hospital. Foolishly, reluctantly, I resumed cooking at the hospital within one week of returning home from the trail. As usual, the kitchen was in turmoil, a true representation of society at its best and most human state. My mind would wander back to the freedom of the trail and the solidarity I felt with all things wild. My co-workers noticed a big change. No longer did I cower at their criticism, but defended my status and myself and made no effort to hide plans to hike again next spring. No one could imagine how one obtains such freedom; I could feel their resentment. There was such a difference between the women I worked with and myself. While they spent a great deal of money on clothing and furniture, I saved it for long distance hiking.
