« Previous EntriesVideo Review: The Buff
Monday, October 31st, 2011It’s simple in design and it doesn’t look like much, but the Buff is one our essential bits of touring gear. The Buff, if you’re not familiar with it, is a seamless tube of cloth. However, you can wear it to cover your neck, your ears, your face, or use it as a [...]
Nine Year Anniversary… and Other Adventures
Sunday, October 30th, 2011Today, Russ and I celebrate our anniversary… nine years of crazy adventures together!
So, today, dear readers, we thought we would share some photos of our travels over the years, and let you into the hard-fought lessons about maintaining our relationship on the road.
One of the most common questions we’re asked is how our relationship has [...]
Rough Cut: Jennifer Milyko - Adventure Cycling Cartographer
Friday, October 28th, 2011The downtime from moving around has given us a chance to go through our archived footage to tell more stories. While in Missoula, we had a chance to interview some of the staff at Adventure Cycling. We fielded questions on our Facebook and Twitter. A lot of the questions you submitted were [...]
Video Review: Vanguard Nivelo 204BK Tripod, Perfect Touring Tripod?
Wednesday, October 26th, 2011I have a love/hate relationship with tripods. I love the versatility of shooting options they create (low light, self portraits, or even raised above the head for an elevated view), but I really really dislike how bulky they are and how slow they are to setup and tear down. For video, having a [...]
UPDATED:Video Review: Olympus EP3 vs. EPM1
Monday, October 24th, 2011Yep, that image was shot with a camera a little bigger than your average point and shoot.
If you were to weigh all the stuff I carry while touring, you’d be surprised to note that my actual camping/clothing gear only weighs about 35 lbs. The rest of the 50lbs I carry is electronics. [...]
Fall in Oregon
Sunday, October 23rd, 2011One of the things I never really experienced growing up in Southern California was Fall. For a kid in Los Angeles, I pretty much only remember two seasons: hot summer and warm summer. Concepts like Fall and Spring completely eluded me, except for the fact that, around October, there would be an explosion [...]
No Sleep Till Aukland
Friday, October 21st, 2011After spending a few sunny weeks in Southern California visiting family and friends, we took the train back to the Pacific Northwest to wrap up some projects. It has been a whirlwind trip visiting San Diego, Long Beach, El Segundo, Santa Monica and the San Fernando Valley. On our last day in Los [...]
UPDATED: The Zombie Apocalypse Will Not Be Motorized
Wednesday, October 19th, 2011It all started as a joke, but then turned into a shirt with your help! A few weeks ago, I made a spoof of a ZipCar ad that was poking fun at cyclists. Being a big zombie fan, I made a mock ad using an image from The Walking Dead. It got [...]
2012 PathLessPedaled Calendar
Monday, October 17th, 2011We just finished laying out our new calendar with our favorite images from our Big Adventure Small Wheels trip! It’s crazy to think that this is our third calendar! Every year we have the tall order of searching through literally thousands of images to find twelve that will make our calendar. It’s a [...]
Preview: Olympus PEN system for Video
Monday, October 17th, 2011As you know, I’ve been on a quest to minimize our electronics even further. On our first trip, I was lugging around a DSLR, lightstand, tripod, strobes, etc., Since then, I’ve drastically cut down the load, but we’ve also started to incorporate more video on the site. For our latest Brompton trip, [...]
