For those interested in what kind of gear I use, I decided to create this handy little section. I've also thrown in some useful links, special thankyous to the people who make this all possible, and the occasional bad joke just to keep things lively. Remember, there are of course two ways of clothing oneself: Stay in the same place and change clothes every day, or wear the same clothes and change places everyday.

Shoes:

Special thanks to Keen, who sponsor my feet. Without them, I'd be unable to get very far at all.
Day Hikers: Keen Targhee II's.
Sandals: Keen Zerraports and Daytonas
Slops: New Caledonian foot paddles, sent via mail by Phillipe on the paradise island of New Caledonia in the South Pacific. Merci!

Socks:
Keen
Sugoi
Tilleys

Shirts:
Sugoi merino wool shirts are light, soft, and quick to dry.
Chlorophylle fleece. If you're looking for official Gonzo merch, visit www.gonzowear.com
If you're looking for my merch, they're one of a kinds, sorry.

Pants: Sugoi shorts for the hot summer season. Special thanks to Tilley Endurables on Granville Street, Vancouver for the cargo pants.

Jocks: Falke travel undies with Moisture Management - it always makes sense to protect the jewels. Lately also getting into organic bamboo briefs, which can always be eaten in an emergency. Keep em light, keep em dry.

Backpacks
After 70-odd countries and years of faithful service, it was time to retire my old Karrimor. It couldn't, carry, any, more. I looked high and low and the best pack I found was undoubtedly a Tatonka Globe Trekker. Sweet day packs too.

Equipment:

Olympus E420. I did it, I went SLR. Never thought I would, but got to admit, this 10 megapixel baby takes some pretty sweet shots. Plus it's the smallest SLR on the market. Olympus, being the kind souls they are, also provided me with a shock proof, waterproof 850SW for those tighter moments. Bless them!

Apple G4 iBook - it lasted 36 countries and 3 years, and then decided to FRY right before a presentation in Waterloo, Ontario. Call me Napolean Roamapart. Dear Apple, please help!
Note: Apple never returned a phone call, nor replied to an email or letter.
So I put myself in debt and bought a new Macbook. New out the box, I hear a noise. Defective! I take it back, get another one. Hear the noise. Defective! Second switch. Regardless of all this, I still love my Mac, but I'm just saying....
Apple 60GB iPod (full to the brink)
500MB Lexar Jumpdrive crashed, permanently, after 12 months. The 250MB Lexar I had before did the same after five months. Just saying....
