It's a super sweet set up. I'm just getting used to it and the various features. So far, an excellent option. Scott has been shooting his since January, so he's got more time with it than I do. His Iceland images are simply gorgeous.

By the way, I like playing on big bikes off-road, but after a few hours, my 175 pounds is no match for some of those beasts. I have to resort to technique to even the odds, and that's been a long, ongoing process. Once the big bike starts to win the battle, it's super tough on me. I'm good for...

I think it's very possible to go straight for a big bike depending on your general intrinsic abilities. Some people simply take to things quicker than others, and in that no one here can accurately answer this question for you. The attributes of a big bike that will typically be challenging for...

I ride with Kurt Refsnider from time to time since he's a local Prescottonian. He holds the record for the AZT 300 with a sub 48 hour time. He said he slept for roughly 20 minutes to get that time. In a more incredible feat, Jefe won the 475 mile Colorado Trail Race in I think 2013 with a time...

I'm selling a lightly used Canon 24-105L Image Stabilized, USM F4 lens in what I would say is 9 to 9+ condition. I bought this lens last fall, used it sparingly for a few indoor shoots and it just sits on a shelf. It needs a new home. These are extremely popular lenses, and as such the prices...

55 degrees is my magic no-bag cutoff temperature. Anything below that and I have to have a bag, even with a bivy and insulated pad.

OKay, so I didn't get around to making that classified listing. :) Hey, guess what? I have a 24-105 lens for sale!!!

I just so happen to have a Canon 24-105L F4 IS USM lens for sale in the classifieds section for $550. Smoking deal. It's easily in excellent 9+ condition. Great lens. I just moved onto a different platform.

If there's one thing I never forget, it's an uncomfortable night with a crap bag. Even this last September while bikepacking with Brian McVickers in Durango, I mismanaged my "get ready for bed" sequence, got really cold, and even once in my bag never really warmed up. Sucked. Badly. Anymore, I...

Uh...nice try, but that's stretching my words to support your hyperbolic reply. If you'll re-read what I said, I merely suggested that while I think the OB is a vastly superior car on a whole variety of metrics, there are a couple of attributes of the Jeep Patriot that might give it a moderate...

It's possible. I only have 30,000 miles on my Jeep over the span of three years. I did pop for the lifetime warranty.

Cheap and compact seldom travel together. Anything under $100 is likely to be pretty bulky.

Clearance is the same for the most part. I only have the advantage with approach, departure and break over angles. The traction control systems I feel are relatively equal, although I think the Jeep's lower crawl ratio offers an advantage if slight. On the highway and around town it's no...

I have to say, the OB is not as proficient off road as my lifted Jeep Patriot, but it's close. The OB is far superior on road, but it was also $10,000 more than our little Jeep.

Lafuma makes a few bags that are dirt cheap, mediocre quality, but do the trick on a budget. The do pack small.

I still say take the Rover. Pay the $1500 to ship it there. Drive it for a year, probably putting less than 3,000 miles on it. Sell it and recoup your shipping costs and pocket enough money for a big party with the family before you leave. Even now that thing is probably not worth much more than...

Proper. It pushed me to my ragged edge, which is why I do this stuff in the first place. I wouldn't repeat the trip as amazing as it was. Not that I don't want to. I don't think I could. On day 7 I crossed river number 40-something...barely...then collapsed in the rocks in a brief moment of...

I am now a believer. After 1000 miles in a week behind the wheel of an Outback on loan from Subaru, I want one. http://expeditionportal.com/road-test-the-new-2015-subaru-outback/

Ain't that the truth. We had two friends that worked in Hanalei on the north shore. One lived just south of Kapaa by about four miles. The other just on the north end of Kapaa. For one friend, the drive to work was 20 minutes. For the other it was 40. They only lived 5 miles apart. Getting...
