Hello.
Welcome to The Campfire Smell…
My name is Tim and I try to get out of doors as much as I can. I really enjoy hiking, camping, rock climbing and kayaking. I have such a love for outdoor activities that I wanted to share my experiences with whomever might be interested. I have a small, insouciant knack for writing but a much larger passion for sharing the stories and pictures about the trips I go on with others! So, I started this blog to facilitate just that.
I have titled it “The Campfire Smell” because whenever I get a whiff of campfire from my gear, it always takes me back to time spent enjoying an outdoor adventure. I think it is the one, single most thing that, no matter what your level of interaction with the outdoors may be, it is always warming, always generates a smile and memory of a great time spent outside.
A Little About Me…
I am a Cincinnati native and graphic designer currently residing in Asheville, NC. I became enamored with the outdoors after my brother, Bill, and I realized how worn out we were by the social scene of an early 20 something in the city. My brother had then, already begun to explore the outdoors via day hiking, camping, and kayaking in the southern Ohio area. He insisted I join him and escape the monotony of my design career being stuck behind a desk, and get reacquainted with nature. I took him up on his offer and, it would seem it had created a monster. I appeased my newly kindled fervor taking day and weekend hiking, camping, and kayaking trips with he and my girlfriend as frequently as I could. To this day I find no better satisfaction than to immerse myself in the diminutive power and grandness of nature. Spending every opportunity I can to wrap myself in the warm embrace of the outdoors.
