Continental Divide Trail In Photos: New Mexico Bootheel
Despite the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) having numerous starting (or ending, if you’re one of those weird southbound hikers) points, many people (myself included) consider Crazy Cook Monument to be the “official” southern terminus (probably because there’s a monument there with the CDT logo and an inscription that says “Southernmost Point”).

Australia Bike Touring Gear List
This post has been sitting in my “Drafts” folder for ages now being neglected like an unwanted stepchild. After repeated emails from readers wondering why they cannot seem to locate the link to this post, it’s finished (sorry, everyone). First, a little background. When I began my 2,400-mile (3,862 km) bicycle ride from Melbourne to […]

Island Peak (Imja Tse) Gear List
Island Peak (Imja Tse) is technically classified as a “trekking peak”, but it requires much more gear than what you would expect from your typical “trek”. Why? Because you have to climb, not walk, to the summit of the 20,305 ft / 6,189 m peak. First things first, I paid 90,000 NPR (~$900 US) for […]

One of the goals I’ve set for myself on Halfway Anywhere is to provide useful and practical information to those of you looking to get out and explore all the awesomeness in the world. This idea was sparked by my frustration with the lack of English-language information on hiking in the Japanese Alps. As a […]
Continental Divide Trail Week 6: The San Juans
DAY 36: Colorado Appa is the first one out of camp this morning as we make our approach to the New Mexico/Colorado border (I can’t imagine why Appa is so eager to get to Colorado). Moist and I set out together up a climb through some snow. The snow isn’t deep, but the ground is […]

When I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail I took a small video every day because I thought “it would look cool to see how the trail changes over time”. More than two years after my Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike, and I finally go around to putting all those clips together into a short video. Said […]
