Yonder Journal: Bikepacking Instructions

This past weekend was spent dong something that I would probably consider to be "bikepacking". The Milk Lodge crew and I loaded up our bikes with bags and backpacks and made the long trek from Chicago to Milwaukee (I'll likely post all about it soon). It would have been nice to have come across this post on Yonder Journal prior to leaving though. There are some great tips for traveling by bicycle there, or at the very least, good reminders of things to bring.

Read it all here.

Haven't seen a cool T-shirt in a while

...but these new T's from Yonder Journal are both awesome and ridiculous.

"MSOJ art by Joshua Porter. Three-color screen print by hand at LQQK Studios in Brooklyn, New York. Printed on creme American Apparel shirts.

Pictured are Itchy and Scratchy, two bears included in the 1941 torchlight parade in celebration of the State of Jefferson's vote to secede from California and Oregon and form a new state, of which a primary motive was to secure better federal funding for road construction."

Order here.

Yonder Journal

I really dig this. Everything about it. I'm not gonna take the time to fully explain it, but head over to Tracko and get the full scoop!

"What do you do when mainstream media no long represents your interests or beliefs? When magazines opt for ab-enhancing techniques versus storytelling? Celebrity versus reality? What do you do when blogs fetishize consumerism and acquisition?

You make your own damn content, that’s what. Photographers and storytellers, Daniel Wakefield Pasley and Emiliano Granado launch Yonder Journal today.

We like to think of ourselves as Cultural Anthropologists, armed with cameras and notebooks, compelled into the field to explore, document, digest and publish a lasting and meaningful record of our experiences there.

Yonder Journal will be a series of Briefs, Guides, and Studies that endeavor to understand and relate American Frontiers and Western Principles.

Today, we begin with our first of many Studies – Brovet. Inspired by the world of Randonneuring (long distance cycling), Brovet is a Guide book to American Permanents (predetermined routes) that aims to inspire, entertain, and inform.
