Gear Post 2025
Oops, I was so proud of getting last year’s post out early, and then this year’s is the latest yet. I got a lot of positive feedback on the photos last year and it was difficult for me to schedule a time to get the new ones taken this year. But… it’s here! If you’re…

Gear Post 2024
Remember the days when I would actually get the gear post done in time for Black Friday so that you could get better prices? Well, those days are back, at least this year. I’m really excited about this year’s post because I have a few new things that I bet you aren’t aware of… If…

Gear Post 2023
It’s that time of the year again! I think a lot more changed this year versus the previous year, probably because I went fairly travel-crazy this year. As always I think “There’s barely any point in doing a gear post since nothing has changed…” and then I realize that actually a lot has changed. Interestingly,…

Gear Post 2022
Ok! Gear Post! I get it! For the record, I always get the gear post done as early as I can reasonably get it done, aiming for the end of the year. What often delays me is going down last minute rabbit-holes trying to find the best of something, coordinating with my brother to get…

Gear Post 2021
This year’s gear post isn’t all that different from last year’s (can you guess why?) but there are enough new cool things that I think it’s worth doing one. Hopefully travel becomes a little more normal in 2021 and I have the opportunity to test out some more gear. Wool and Prince Button Down I’ve…

Shifting Gears
Living in an RV was one of the best things I could have possibly done for the eight or so years I did it. It allowed me freedom, both physical and financial, made it easy for me to travel, forced me to become minimalist, and taught me a lot. If I were still living in…

Gear Post 2020
Merry Christmas! As seems to be my pattern lately I keep pushing the gear post later and later. Sorry about that! It happens because I get excited about gear and always end up testing a bunch of things right near the end. One thing I’m very excited about this year is that I was able…

The 2019 Gear Post
People didn’t like my iterative way of doing the gear post last year, so I’m listening and going back to the old format of writing about every single item, even if it’s been on the list forever. There are a considerable number of new items this year, so there is a lot to write about.…

The 2018 Gear Post
I’m going to do something a little bit different with the gear post this year. Usually I go over every single item in a small amount of detail. This year has only a few changes but they are really exciting changes, so I’m going to highlight only the differences. Once you finish reading this post,…

The 2017 Gear Post
And now it’s time for the one post per year about which people bug me for months: the 2017 gear post. I realized that a lot of non-subscribers read this post every year, so I thought I’d drop a little background for context. I’ve been more or less a nomad since 2008, and was one…
