And Just Like That…
It's over. I took a spill getting off my bike today and wrecked one of my two problem shoulders. I can't even begin to tell you how awful I feel. I've been planning this for 3 years, and as soon as I get my feet out the door, it's over. I'm working out details ...

It Has Begun!
Well, sort of. The last 4 days at home really flew by. Getting my disorganized creeper life in order while I'm gone, moving out of my beloved man-o-cave (Sorry for the mess I left Jeromy, I'm sure the gremlin will take care of it), gathering up the last of my gear, ...

5 Days Out.
Focused. Calm. That's how I feel. Mixed with brief waves of heavy stress, but overall I feel great, I feel ready. Little things are being accounted for. The checklist grows slashed. My mind is set out to the tundra. The lonely first test grinding at the heart of what this really is. It's ...

13 Days Out. Weekend of Awesome. Internal Workings. Cool Hand Luke.
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010 in Featured, News & Blog by / 2 Comments
Every day we find ourselves peering into those around us, wondering what makes them tick. This usually comes about when we see them do something strange or abnormal, or something that just sticks out, both in positive and negative lights. The crackhead that's washing your window with fabric softener ...

3 Weeks till I ROCK OUT ON THE TUNDRA.
Monday, June 7th, 2010 in Featured, News & Blog by / 5 Comments
Had a rough time sleeping last night. 24 hours of sun, wolves, bears, and speeding 20 ton semi's on a gravel road kept creeping into the sleep pattern. That and my stomach was not stoked because I ate a bad wrap at some point. They're only like 2 bucks at ...

One Month Out.
Thursday, May 27th, 2010 in Featured, News & Blog by / 3 Comments
So. One month to go. I'm definitely a bit checked out already in the mental department. It's a psychosis very similar to the one I experienced coming home after touring the US, just in reverse. Things already blend in and I don't hear people talking to me half the time. Days ...

60 Days Out, Let’s Fill You In.
Friday, April 30th, 2010 in Featured, News & Blog by / 4 Comments
A lot can happen in 60 days. Mercury spins just one rotation in this time. Your hair will grow one half inch. You can ride a bike across the US. Aside from these things, we'll be busy. Riding. Testing gear. Fine tuning our routes. Tying up loose ends. The reality really is ...

The Naked Honesty
Thursday, April 1st, 2010 in Featured, News & Blog by / 6 Comments
Encounters with strangers are often overlooked and subdued. More often then not our brief encounters are calloused by the bubble we acknowledge as our everyday lives. The clerk at the mini-mart. The waitress at the diner. The everyday connections that are rarely given the jolt to ...

“There’s a guy selling crack in your waders..”

Most people I know think of fishing as a connection to nature, an intimate and worthy pursuit in which your miniscule understanding of the things surrounding you add up to nothing but luck in the great scheme of things. Trout live in beautiful places, but sometimes those places are surrounded by ...

Brown Town
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 in Featured, News & Blog by / 2 Comments
"UP UP DOWN DOWN ALL THE WAY TO BROWN TOWN!!!" Singing that in the fly shop was always fun. Because it made the customers uncomfortable. But I like to think that Brown Town is in our hearts. I also caught a 'bow that was bigger than the steelhead I caught last week. ...
