This could have been part of the marketing for 105 Hikes @stephenhui.bsky.social 🥹

One night we rescued a guy who was very afraid of bears. However he had the hiking guidebook "103 Hikes" with him, and used its pages to start a small fire.

And between you and me he needed to poop, so i think he also used the pages that way.

A great thing about physical books is that they seldom stop working

Charles West @pseudo-isidore.bsky.social · Aug 3

De Gruyter encourages readers to contact them when their ebooks aren't working, but doesn't, of course, provide any contact details. A masterstroke! All frustrated readers love a little puzzle.

Hesquiat Trail, Day 1 — Our challenging weeklong backpack got off to a leisurely start... www.instagram.com/p/DM3OOL_yY29/

For years, I’ve had a Nikon D7100 📷 (previously a D90) with 18-200mm lens.

It’s time to replace and downsize.

I’m looking for a lighter, more compact, still durable combo that’s excellent for hiking, travel, city life, etc.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

Sea lions and tides and black bears, oh my!

Highlights from 7 days of Wet Coast backpacking on the Hesquiat Trail — a challenging fly-in/fly-out route in Hesquiaht First Nation territory on Vancouver Island, BC.

I ❤️ K̓vi’aí (Koeye).

Stephen Hui @stephenhui.bsky.social · Jul 22

So many things are magical about K̓vi’aí (Koeye) — the Qqs (Eyes) Projects Society lodge and youth camp, the strength of Haíɫzaqv (Heiltsuk) culture and stewardship, the stories, the medicine, the caring, the smiles, the pizza.

Ǧiáxsix̌a for the twilight swims too.

Went for a lovely nature walk on the dṇ́y̓ás t̓x (Red Cedar Trail) — newly upgraded and celebrated by the community — in Wágḷísḷa (Bella Bella).

So many bald eagles and ravens!

Human translators? What a concept!

We were going to post this but Stephen beat us to it. Pancouver is multilingual. We already have nearly 300 Chinese-language articles @pancouver.bsky.social in both Traditional and Simplified. This year, we added Korean-language articles. Each is individually translated, not just run through Google.

當 Stephen Hui 還是高中生時，他就經常去爬山。那時他並沒有過多思考登山步道和原住民之間的連結。但到了大學，這位溫哥華作家開始對原住民權利漸感興趣。後來成為記者後，他才更深入思考戶外休閒活動和原住民文化復興之間的關係。

I’ve been very disappointed with the BC GOVS recent shift away from climate action. We need to ensure our economic development is focused on the future - a transition away from fossil fuels

Stephen Hui @stephenhui.bsky.social · Jul 2

It's a good time to tell the BC government we need strong climate action more than ever. #CleanBC #bcpoli engage.gov.bc.ca/govtogetherb...
