We should all follow the path that makes our life meaningful and affirms our 'why' in body, mind, and spirit.
Hi, I'm David Ashley. I've adopted the name "David on Earth" as a trail name, the less formal identity that accompanies me on every adventure out in the wilds of nature.
A little about me: I've been happily married for all my adult life to the same wonderful woman.
She gave me two beautiful girls who blessed me with four grandchildren, who again blessed me with two great-grandsons.
I live in Colorado, but I've lived throughout the midwestern United States and traveled the world for the first 20 years of my adult life when I was in the United States Air Force, and then some afterwards. I am now fully retired from the 9-5 life, spending a good amount of my time encouraging active outdoor lifestyles.
I've logged thousands of trail miles over the years. In 2018 I hiked the 500-mile Colorado Trail. I've hiked nearly 400 miles of the Arizona Trail. I've also hiked trails in Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Michigan. God willing, as long as I can move, I intend on adding to this list of places.
On this website I am attempting to be helpful to those who want more of the good life. The blog with my insight and tips, and information about gear and where to find gear discounts is the focus right now. It's all leaning a bit toward my generation, but younger and older folks should also find what I do here to be helpful.
I hope you enjoy this website and my YouTube channel. You can also find me on Instagram. I'd love to hear from you by commenting in the blog on this site or via YouTube or Instagram.
Now, stop reading this and go live like you want it! I'll see you on the trail!
