Metacycles of feet
Human endurance does not run at the pace of modern humans. Our literature and schedules can easily grasp the seasonal and annual peaks and valleys which mind/body seem to necessitate, but the larger ways in which physical and mental development run are as yet poorly understood and too little spoken of out loud. Take as…

Last of the Great Unknown
Nice one Dan. I assume most of you have been following Mike’s write up on a certain award-winning trip. If not, go do that.

My commute
I prefer getting to work on my bike. Sitting in a car in traffic is not fun, and while too often a necessary evil, not especially healthy. This is axiomatic. To add insult to injury, it’s 2.5 miles from our house to my office, and a significant majority of the stop lights in Kalispell lie…

Best of 2011, part 2
2011 has been an extraordinary year. If the mission of this blog is to explore the cultural consequences of personal development as driven by outdoor adventure, this should have been a good year for blogging, which it was.

The Bechler
“He who sits still in a house all the time may be the greatest vagrant of all; but the saunterer, in the good sense, is no more vagrant than the meandering river, which is all the while sedulously seeking the shortest course to the sea.” -Thoreau, “Walking” It’s autumn. Eh. The kids know what this…

A Question of Scale
Paige emailed me today asking about the progress of the Alaska move. The real and only answer is that I’ve been thinking about it, a lot. She did attach her and Luc’s argument in the affirmative. (I heart Ronald Jenkees.) That argument, in more prosaic terms, is that Alaska has big wilderness of a kind…
