Out Until Feb. 21st

February 4, 2010

Tomorrow, I’ll be boarding a flight to spend two weeks on the South Island of New Zealand.

I’m working on getting taken off of it – and trying to [...]

Out for a While

December 21, 2009

I’ll be flying back to New England for a week tomorrow morning, so posting will be very light – if at all. When I get back to California, assuming nothing gets me sick out east, I’ll be joining Kolby for his 100th Hike!

December 10, 2009

Today marks the third anniversary of Modern Hiker, spun off of a now-defunct personal blog in the latter days of 2006. December 10th was the day the modernhiker.com domain launched, with some stories about a Yosemite exhibit at the Autry Center and a proposed trash dump near Joshua Tree (that’s STILL being fought, unbelievably), [...]

And We’re Back!

December 4, 2009

Sorry for that interruption last night. Apparently my host was hacked yesterday, and all of the sites it hosted went down with it. Luckily, everything seems to be in working order again, and we can get back on track!

New Modern Hiker Shop is Live

November 29, 2009

Since the holiday-purchasing-frenzy season is now officially upon us, I figured now would be a good time to start gathering all of the products and items I use on the trail into one place for readers to buy. Thus, the Shop page is now officially live.
You’ll notice the addition of a SHOP button on [...]

Store Update and Discounts

November 10, 2009

So apparently more than a few of you have been kind enough to check out my new storefront on OpenSky over the past few weeks. A big ‘thank you’ to everyone who tried it out – hopefully everything got into your hands quickly and properly.
If you haven’t had a chance to check it out [...]
