The Last Tepui

Alex Honnold, Mark Synnott and Bruce Means allow us to satisfy our childhood dreams of becoming an explorer in their new film, Explorer: The Last Tepui (streaming on Disney+). Renan Ozturk and Taylor Rees captured their journey to the Amazon’s tepui mountains. Bruce, a well-published herpetologist, has compared the hidden potential and biodiversity of this land to that of the Galapagos. For an expedition of this scale, Renan specifically requested Good To-Go be the one to fuel it.  The mission: Navigate deep into the grueling jungle terrain, then attempt a 1000-foot first ascent clim ..read more

Glade Day: Western Maine
Good To-Go Blog
by Justin Hagen
2y ago
We pulled into the parking lot for Black Mountain of Maine (BMOM) early on a Saturday morning in October. It was cold and wet—you know, good ol' New England weather. In typical fashion, Tyler Ray, Granite Backcountry Alliance Founder and aptly titled “Granite Chief,” had more energy than any human should at this hour, and was busy getting the “quarry dogs” primed for the day ahead. It was a big crowd on this day, the largest of the 2020 Glade Tour. Loppers, saws and hard hats were divvied up, and, before long, we were hiking up one of BMOM’s ski trails and into the clouds... literally. In ..read more

As unpredictable as things are in everyone’s lives, the same has been for our small, family-run dehydrated food company. But we’re all in this together, right? So, with that spirit in mind, we’d like to offer a window into the unique challenges Good To-Go has faced. Shortly after the pandemic first reached the US, sometime in March, we watched with our jaws on the floor as sales increased by more than 1,000%, literally overnight. Sounds great, right? Well, to put it bluntly, we’re simply not set up for such demand outside of our busy season. Almost as soon as that occurred, nearly every one of ..read more

Generations on Katahdin
Good To-Go Blog
by Justin Hagen
2y ago
As far back as I can remember, I had a love for being outside. I don’t think that happens by accident. I think it comes from somewhere. I can point to the generations that came before me that helped shape my love for the outdoors: my father, his father. Also, I’m pretty sure my parents shoved me into to the outdoors to help tucker me out as I was a ball of unbridled energy, from the moment I was able to pick myself up off the ground and run around like a little (adorable) mischievous madman. I was the kid with a harness and tether. I say that proudly now. At the time, if I had the awareness, I ..read more

Maine Huts & Trails
Good To-Go Blog

2y ago
Now that spring is here, many long for days with warm temps, plenty of sun—and no snow. However, for the winter die-hards out there, the waning snow pack and longer days are no cause for celebration. For these individuals, winter is as good as it gets. In the Northeastern US, you can can bet snow lovers are watching the forecast, praying for one last storm to extend the season just a little further… During the month of March, and in under two weeks’ time, Maine was hit with back-to-back-to-back nor’easters (you read that right), leaving behind copious amounts of the white stuff. Finally. The c ..read more

100 Mile Wild - Pre Trip Report
Good To-Go Blog
by Justin Hagen
2y ago
Maine is home to the most remote section of the Appalachian Trail—the 100 Mile Wilderness. The name alone conjures thoughts of adventure in dangerous, rugged backcountry. While there is a network of huts and lean-tos established along the route, seldom is it traveled in the winter months, and for good reason. Even rarer are accounts of the trail being completed during the winter season. Here is where our adventure begins. Beginning Friday, February 23, and for the next 10-12 days, a team of three Maine-based adventurers are set to embark on what they believe will be the first known, documented ..read more

Katahdin: A Winter Ascent
Good To-Go Blog
by Justin Hagen
2y ago
We were standing near the summit of Mt. Katahdin, looking out at where the infamous Knife’s Edge ridgeline traverse was supposed to be. The weather that morning had called for clearing skies, but here we stood, not being able to see more than 20 feet in front of us. It was out there somewhere, but we had no idea where. As the wind whipped past us and threatened to push us off the ridge, we made the decision: even though we were so close to the summit, it was time to descend. Mt. Katahdin is a fickle beast. Touted as an alpinist’s playground, the glacial cirque in Baxter State Park is compose ..read more

MONUMENTAL: A Journey through Katahdin Woods and Waters
Good To-Go Blog
by Justin Hagen
2y ago
Mankind has walked these woods for more than 11,000 years, from Native Americans to the woodsmen of Maine’s historic logging industry. Rumor has it Katahdin Woods & Waters is a place of pristine wilderness, dark skies, and miles of beautiful river. However, we struggled to find convincing evidence. As Mainers and Photographers, we knew we had to go see this place for ourselves. And if the rumors were true, share it with others.  We designed a human powered route circumnavigating the monument that would allow us to see as much as possible in 5 days. In all we would cover 64 miles in th ..read more
