Sitting around waiting for the start of a Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike can be a boring task (this is why I fill said task with junk food). However, as with everything else in life, there are always movies if you need a good old-fashioned distraction from life (but are they old-fashioned if they're
Bluffworks Horizon Quilted Vest Review
I'm not going to lie, you guys, the Bluffworks Horizon Quilted Vest is the first vest I have ever owned. However, I have had enough experience with Bluffworks that I basically allow them to dictate my entire wardrobe at this point (I have even taken to hiking in their Meridian Dress Shirt). I
Introducing the Halfway Anywhere Store
It's taken longer than promised, but after repeated and persistent requests for the introduction of merchandise and prints, I've come around to the idea and am launching the Halfway Anywhere Store.

17 Movies To Watch Before Hiking The Continental Divide Trail

Continental Divide Trail In Photos: San Juan Mountains
The San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado are the first real challenge of the Continental Divide Trail (that is, if you're hiking northbound and you don't consider the nearly 800 mi / 1,300 km of New Mexico to be much of a big deal). New Mexico has some climbing, but it does nothing to prepare
Three Passes Trek Map (and GPS Track)
Nepal's Three Passes Trek is one of my favorite hikes, and if you're thinking about a trip to Everest Base Camp, I strongly urge to look at doing the Three Passes Trek instead; you can do Everest Base Camp as a detour and it will take just one extra day. If you're already thinking about doing the
How To Get Your Trail Name On The PCT
So you know what a "thru-hike" is, you know that it's the Pacific Crest Trail (not the Pacific Coast Trail), and think you have what it takes to tackle the 2,650 mi / 4,265 km without dying. Good for you. But if you really want to be a thru-hiker, there's one thing you need above all else - a
