This was taken during a helicopter flight I took last week over Everest base camp departing from Pengbouche. That's Everest at the center of this mountain just peeking over the ridge. We flew around that massif to the left and up the Khumbu. The best 45 minutes of my life in some ways. We had an...

This shot was taken last week in Khumjung, Nepal at an altitude of about 12,500 feet. These two young studs are playing cards on top of a pile of stones that were once their home. The reconstruction after the April earthquake has been slow, but the Nepalese people - are the best people in the...

I love this camera. I just cracked off 3700 images in Nepal in the last two weeks. Traveling with three professional photographers, one an award winning shooter with decades of experience, even he was impressed with the Fuji. It's more than just quality. The wifi is great for travel as I can...

From my trek to Mount Everest last week. Moonset over the village of Pengbouche. Stupa at 14,000 feet above Namche Bazar

I think most of the 2.8 27+ tires are the way to go. The Panaracers have been my favorite thus far.

The Stratosphere simply will not work in snow. That fabric is simply too light. I'm a gram hunter to the extreme, but I'm also experienced enough in various harsh conditions to know that gram hunting for light gear is a fool's errand. The uber light gear on the market really is only appropriate...

I would not recommend a bivy. I use them for extreme winter conditions when a tent is not feasible (Alpine climbing), or as a backup shelter in the summer if I need to be fast and light and only require a shelter if the weather turns. If I KNOW ahead of time the weather will be bad, the last...

I'm a bit of a minimalist and a chronic organizer. Since I don't take much, it's easy to tidy up my camp in the evenings by putting everything away, or at least tucked away so nothing is exposed to the elements.

Just to jump in here. I have been extremely impressed with the camera on my new Samsung Edge Plus. As an Apple fan boy, I'm glad I made the switch.

All that remains is the Rab Jacket. $75 and it's on the way to you.

That actually is incorrect as well. The words democracy and republic have broad definitions that many sources like the American Heritage Dictionary can be read to fit both models employed by our government. There's a bit of semantics folded into their definition as it relates to the voice of the...

That's pretty awesome! Even after 100+ bikepacking days, I always learn something new on every trip. Regarding your headset, you'll want to get that squared away asap. Riding a steel bike with a loose HS can ovalize and ruin the head tube. Your cold feet can be remedied by making sure your bag...

Stump, at this point it might be a useless exercise, but grab the lower pulley of your derailleur and give it a little side to side wiggle. Even derailleurs that have not been impacted, will over time get a little wobbly as the pins enlarge their holes in the case aluminum parts. If a derailleur...

I'd bet $100 here's what happened as it's so common you can't believe it. My guess is, as you were dumping gears your chain arrived at the biggest cog, and because either your limit screw was not adjusted properly, or more likely because your der hanger was slightly mal-aligned, your chain...

I'm pretty sure I know what happened here. What gear were you in when this happened. We're you climbing?

I have a very cool Mountain Hardware Mountain Wing. It was a pre-production tent used for development, and in my opinion, is one of the best designs of the last 20 years. I'd sell it pretty cheap. Bomber tent.

I have a Garmin eTrex 30 for sale. It is in great condition. I've had a screen protector on it since the day I bought it. No signs of use and it looks good as new. I don't have any of the original packaging or manuals, so I'm pricing it pretty low. $150 shipped.

Okay...ONE MORE item. I have a Garmin Edge 705 bike computer that I've had for a while and don't use. Also in great condition. No scratches on the screen or body. $90 gets it. I have a couple bar mounts to include. No box or manuals, but it's ready to go.
