Our Story

People call me Vampiro.
Only a few people know the story behind the nickname.

About 10-years ago, I landed out on the top of Crazy Thermal Mesa. I was faced with a three-mile hike to the nearest road with 40 pounds of gear. I came across a young boy. He offered to carry some of my gear to make some extra money.
On the hike out we got about a mile. And wham, he was bitten by a rattlesnake.
With few options, I applied a tourniquet to his leg, then began sucking the venom out of his wound. It was a bush fix, but it bought us enough time to get him to the hospital.
He was ok, but the legend began. The kids still tell the story of Vampiro, a man flies out of the sky and saves young children.
And so the name stuck.
