“The experiences people have in back country cabins can often be felt by reading entries in the guest books left behind,” Dave Treadway explains. “They are written with the pure joy and emotions of those living out their dreams, disconnected from any dramas of daily life. These journals hold hundreds of experiences of adventures large and small. You can’t help but be inspired by these compendiums of stoke. May we all write our own entry in a backcountry guestbook and live out our own dreams in nature.”

Check out the video above as Dave Treadway and friends capture the backcountry from a unique perspective. Throughout the clip, the group shows us what it’s like to be in the backcountry with only your body to power your way through the elements. The reward? Plenty of deep snow with a book of memories. Enjoy.
