Gear
Over the years I've carved a niche for myself as an outdoor 'gear guy'. Every month requires me to be an expert about some new aspect of outdoorsmanship, and I really enjoy the opportunity to write about things that can't talk back for a change!
Gear features
I got into gear by accident, but now it's a major part of my life. Every month we feature something different, so I have to turn myself into a new kind of expert 12 times a year.
