Never Hiking the Appalachian Trail

September 30, 2019

Why I’m Never Hiking The Appalachian Trail

"So when are you hiking the Appalachian Trail?" Probably one of the most frequent questions I get from other hikers. My answer? Never. I'm never going to hike the Appalachian Trail (AT). There's literally nothing I find appealing about the AT. Don't get me wrong, this post is not meant to

Australia Bike Tour Day 40: Uluru

Uluru, (the big rock you've probably seen on a postcard from Australia) - literally the heart of the Australian Outback (if not for this rock nobody would come out here) - has long occupied a spot on my "things in the world I have to see" list (yes, I have a list). Sure, it might only be a large

Why You Should Never Climb Mount Fuji

Even if you know nothing about Japan, I would wager you've heard of Mount Fuji (or tentacle porn). Contrary to what you may assume about a country's highest mountain, the 12,389 ft / 3,776 m Mount Fuji (富士山), among the three dozen most prominent on Earth, is one of the most accessible peaks in

  The original title of this post was "A Bunch Of Shitty Black And White Photos", but at the suggestion of a devoted friend and reader (Monsieur Indie), I have changed it as to not create a bias during your initial viewing of the preceding photos. Some of you may already know where this

Your Jumping Pictures Are Bad, And You Should Feel Bad

“One...two...three...wait! You went too early.” “You said three!” “Yeah, but you need to go when I say ‘GO!’” “Alright fine let’s try again. Ready? One...two...three...GO!” “Ugh, I didn’t get it. You just look like you’re squatting.” “Okay, okay, again.” And on, and on it

Airplane Inside With Passengers

Why Airplanes Are The Worst

Oh, the aeroplane. Fast, convenient, anxiety inducing, metal tubes that whisk passengers through the sky to their destinations like uncomfortable magic carpets. Airplane travel forces us to sacrifice comfort in the name of convenience, it imposes a seemingly arbitrary set of rules upon

I Hate Hiking, But I Love Adventuring

I loved being on the Pacific Crest Trail. I also really hated being on the Pacific Crest Trail - like really hated. A popular question in town (and among hikers) was why you were on the PCT in the first place. I always came up short with an answer. My reason for hiking the trail did not arise
