walkingCat August 20, 2014 Share walkingCat Member August 20, 2014 If FX were broadcasting himself, posting regularly, with some social media promo, he'd get some crowd funding. Then we could send him for another trip again. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally almost fell on my face trying to get out of the shower I can't lift my legs over 12"" atm burns sooo good Gotta crawl before you walk TB... Post trail update. Its been about a month since I've been off the trail. I'm on a trail crew doing the heavy maintenance out in the back country for 8 day stretches. Its free food, a free place to sleep between hitches and hanging with other hikers. I kick it around my fathers when I got nothing going on. Resting up, gorging myself with food and trying to stay in shape. I still have no bed, just the back of my truck(which is actually really nice) and a cot to sleep on at my fathers in the basement. I got offered my old desk job back as a programmer and turned it down, I just couldn't do it. Spending 40 hours a week sedentary at a desk felt way to unhealthy physically and mentally.

MrMonkey September 22, 2014 Share MrMonkey Member September 22, 2014 I was following along your tumblr and that was an amazing journey and some pictures that made myself and anyone who saw them over my shoulder jealous. Congrats and good luck, closing a door on the old job for sure should help to open new ones. Just keep your eyes open and find your happiness! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stutters September 22, 2014 Share stutters GC Alumni September 22, 2014 I got offered my old desk job back as a programmer and turned it down, I just couldn't do it. Spending 40 hours a week sedentary at a desk felt way to unhealthy physically and mentally. Is it the idea of being sedentary or the idea of being inside? The sedentary part can be overcome with a walking desk, the inside part, not so much. Any idea what's next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX September 24, 2014 Author Share NOFX Member September 24, 2014 (edited) It's breaking away from that lifestyle that I want to do. I'm tired of being mentally drained day after day. It's been so great to have my time back. I got a lot of things I want to do and a career is just getting in the way right now. Whats next? It's looking like a road trip out west for the winter after the trail crew season. Or maybe fly down to South America. I'm not sure.. but I now have the PCT on my to-do list also Edited September 24, 2014 by NOFX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure.. but I now have the PCT on my to-do list also Man, I can't argue with any of that. I know plenty of people that have found a way to put life ahead of work and still have what they need. I hope you can figure it out, too. I'll keep an eye out for your PCT trip. It runs right through the Columbia River Gorge and into Mount Hood. I'd be happy to meet you out there and either grab a beer and some pizza or just drop off some supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookback September 25, 2014 Share Lookback Member September 25, 2014 You should probably consider something like guide work, No-FX. Now that you have some credibility, you could probably try to hook up with a tour agency and run guide tours periodically. If you time it out well, you could make enough $$$ and have time off to do other things. Skiing and hunting also come into mind, I am not so much a fan of hunting anymore though...

Madvillain September 25, 2014 Share Madvillain Member September 25, 2014 If you head anywhere towards Reno/Lake Tahoe during your westward journey let me know, I would be happy to grab a beer or drop off a food care package like Stutters said.
