There are so many aspects to gear testing and review writing that I absolutely adore, but I think my favorite is learning about the origin stories of the products I research. As a lover of histories and their narratives, diving into the lore of the original Fjällräven Kanken backpack seriously scratched that learning-fueled itch I seem to always have. Since 1978, this backpack — now in a protective laptop style — has survived the test of time as a globally acclaimed staple for students, working professionals and travelers alike.

It wasn’t a matter of if but when GearJunkie would lean into the hard, thankless work of tasting all manner of craft beer from around the continent. BeerJunkie has long been whispered of among staff. It was a hope and possibility — a dream. But there was always something missing. It turns out that something was an outsider. Enter Paul Pabst. With a name like that, and serious sports broadcasting chops, the host tries to taste every beer in America. He's got his "work" cut out for him.
Drinking beer and talking about it...yeah, I'm in. This is a new, weekly series with GearJunkie The link is below...check it out and watch the first episode. If you want me to review one of your beers/breweries...send it to me. Enjoy. https://lnkd.in/ePDgPtgV

When Rachelle S. offered to pen a personal essay on the “Choose the Bear” trend, I admitted I had no idea what that was. My lack of awareness for anything on social media is forgivable, but the lingering ignorance to the realities of sexual harassment and assault in the outdoors — or anywhere! — ain’t so easily dismissed. Applauding the writing on a topic that is so difficult to read feels strange, but the fact is this topic should never be easy to read, and Rachelle’s ability to tell this story with honesty, compassion, and edge undoubtedly makes it one the best stories GearJunkie has had the honor to publish. I hope you take the opportunity to read it in full. https://lnkd.in/gcDrFetR
