Meeting at Jim Creek Trailhead Friday 8/30 at noon (eat lunch before arriving), and returning to the trailhead Sunday 9/1 right around noon as well.

Who's a Shabineer? Anyone who has visited the Shabin.

Here's what we'll do

Over the last three year's I've been going to all kinds of crazy summer gatherings. Places like Burning Man, Camp Omega, Return to the Source, Dirt Circus, a Vipassana Retreat, and Winter Warrior. But everything I do feeds back here to the Shabin. I want to offer a cheaper, nearby, escape to nature and growing closer celebration  for the people that I know! So if you've heard my silly stories and want to have some of that fun yourself, please put your phone on airplane mode, buckle yourself up in a full squat like Jesse, and we'll fly high into the mountains.

This is what the tickets are paying for

Here's where we'll sleep

Many of you have already visited the good ol' Shabin, but this year, to bring us all together I hauled up this beautiful bell tent, with its own wood stove! So there room for at least 10 of us. I'm excited to see who makes it. 

Here's what to Bring

Backpack, day pack, water bottle, headlamp, sleeping bag (extras will be available), sleeping pad, snacks for while we're hiking, closed toe shoes, jacket, pants, towel (if you need one), gumption and smiles. 

Optional: Instruments, your favorite hatchet, a campfire snack to share, witches hat, sunglass, sunscreen (for the vampires), rocks, hiking stick (or find one on the way), ect.

Here's what we'll Eat

Friday Post Hike Snack! I'll offer everyone plenty of carbs to refuel once we make it to the Shabin. Expect some baked goods, plenty of bread, and veggies with hummus and tzatziki to go on top.

Friday Dinner, build your own shish kabobs! Skewer onions, mini potatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, falafel, and STEAK. Then snack on a side salad while you roast your kabob over the fire. 

Saturday morning we'll enjoy special egg muffin things...? okay my mom's making them from her own chickens' eggs. I'm sure it'll be delicious. There's bacon too! 

Shortly after breakfast I'll ask you to pile assorted deli meats and cheeses between two slices of bread with your choice of condiments like pesto, mustard, mayo, etc. We'll take off up the mountain and share a picnic with mint infused lemonade.

Saturday evening I'll stir up a chicken curry (tofu is an option). There's more but by now you're sold or not.

Sunday morning before we make our way down you'll be offered my personal favorite, OATS! We'll have granola, yogurt, fruits, cinnamon and more to fill our bowls. 

In addition to this menu please bring plenty of your own snack to enjoy whenever you feel like it! It's easy to get hungry in the mountains.
