We’re not even halfway into the year and I’m already making some dramatic additions to my current gear outfit. I’ve got my first non-freestanding shelter (Hyperlite Mountain Gear Ultamid 2), my first bivy (Enlightened Equipment Recon), and my first quilt (Enlightened Equipment Revelation). Although the pre-PCT version of myself (who had never before been overnight […]
Continental Divide Trail Week 5: Don’t Die
DAY 29: Cuba, New Mexico A benefit of cowboy camping? (That’s sleeping with no shelter, aka just your sleeping bag/pad on the ground, for those of you who haven’t been paying attention.) When you can’t sleep at night you can just lie on the ground and watch shooting stars (or possibly alien spacecraft) whiz across […]
Katadyn BeFree Water Filter Review
When I first started using the Katadyn BeFree I thought to myself, “By the beard of Zeus! This thing is absolutely amazing.

Caching Water In The New Mexico Bootheel On The CDT

Continental Divide Trail Week 4: One Month In
DAY 22: On-trail pizza delivery There may only be two of us now that Appa is MIA until we make it to Grants, but that doesn’t mean Moist and I get going any earlier in the morning (it’s not like we start hiking together anyway – you start hiking when you’re packed up and ready […]
Halfway Anywhere: The Origin Story
If there’s one question that you folks contact me with the most, it’s this, “How do you support yourself? How do you make money? What on Earth are you doing to be able to support this [apparent] life of indefinite travel!?” As I do with most things I find myself responding to in emails over […]
Bluffworks Meridian Dress Shirt Review
The Bluffworks Meridian Dress Shirt appeared an unlikely candidate for someone like me, but after months of wear it has cemented itself in my pack as my (professional) hiking (and traveling) shirt of choice. I gave the Meridian a chance because I am such a big fan of Bluffwork’s other products (their original pants, chinos, […]
