I look forward to them, and tho I rarely comment, I read each one from top to bottom! I love the photos of the canyons, rivers, panels by those who came before, you and Joan, your camp sites, and yes, the gear. All the best for a rewarding and safe New Year.

Well, the review pics would have been entertaining! PCO Joan.

Thanks for the kind words! If I wanted to go to the dark side, I could pump out top ten lists, more gear reviews, etc. Last week I had a well-known company that wanted me to review their underwear. I can always use new underwear (and socks!), but they wanted a two week turn around. That’s not a review…that’s a glorified advertisement bought and paid for for perhaps $50 or so worth of clothing. No thanks!

The content on this site and others like it continue to be of far greater value to me than any of the hyperconsumeristic content on the socials. I’m sorry this format has fallen out of fashion. It’s important to remember that future extraterrestrial archeologists (charged with piecing together an account of humanity’s fall and extinction) will regard Pmags.com as having set the high watermark for the outdoor blogging subculture of the early 21st century.

Thank you! I like my niche and find contentment.

It feels like a lot of medium to long-form essays have migrated from written content to video in the last five years or so, chasing where the ad dollars are. My brain parses the two very differently and I’m grateful for the small bloggers in the hiking/outdoor space who continue to put out written content.
