I just got an e-mail from someone who ordered the book and thought I would post it.
“Geez. I just got your book in the mail a few minutes ago. That’s a work of art. GOOD JOB! Course, that only means the next few days I’m going to miss out on a lot of sleep because I have a feeling I’ll be reading it very quickly.”

I received an e-mail and thought some of you might be interested in trying to win some free gear. Seems like a fun little contest too. Trailspace is running a Haiku Contest through April 25. All you’ll need to to do is write a Haiku (a three line poem with 5,7,5 syllables) about backcountry gear.

I have just finished up the project that I have been working on for the last year and a half (maybe even longer now). My book was sent to the printer this past Friday and should be ready to ship in about 4 weeks. I have been waiting for this for so long. It is a great feeling to be almost done with this huge project. I am really happy with how the book turned out and can’t wait to get it out there for everybody to read.
Look for the “Store” tab within the next few days to pre-order and get the first copies of the press! All orders will be shipping by May 1.
Below is a sample page from the book. Check back soon for more info!
My friend Gregg has done a great job developing ASC (Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation). Pepper and I worked with ASC on our Himalaya trip to record pika data and bar headed geese data. It is an amazing idea and a rewarding experience which helps to give more meaning and involvement to an expedition. ASC recently got written up in the New York Times!

If you are headed anywhere and are interested in the program feel free to reach out to ASC and they’ll partner you up with a scientist.
Well it looks like the tension between the CDTA and CDTS is finally settled, but what is going to happen to the future of the CDT? Seems pretty up in the air right now.
