I’ve been a fan of Kolby Kirk for years. He’s certainly one of the most entertaining and creative hiking bloggers.

In person, he’s even better. 🙂
Likable. Personable. Self-effacing.
I grabbed a front row seat for Kolby’s ADZPCTKO 2013 presentation on JOURNALING a hike.
Rather than try to explain what I got out of his talk, here’s Kolby himself explaining the journaling he did for a hiking documentary, MILE… MILE & A HALF.

And I was convinced. I’ll be carrying a hard cover Moleskine journal on future long hikes. A mechanical pencil. And carrying the journal some place easy to reach on a whim.
related – The fools ( Mahe Drysdale, Tamati Coffey, Cate Helm, James Gibson) selecting hikers for an Air New Zealand contest — 9 Great Walks in 9 weeks — did NOT choose Kolby Kirk.
The criteria: “… personality, creativity and skills that may be useful on the trip …”
Do as I do. Boycott Air New Zealand, if you can.
I’m planning to travel to New Zealand next year. I’ll choose a different airline.
