Did you know we've had a blog, aka the Field Log, since 2008 and we actually keep it current all the time?

Our blog won't bore you with lots of reading because pictures often tell great stories as well. Read our blog.
Surly launched their brand new bike The Pack Rat in December. To put these bikes to the test, our good friend Trevor from Surly and we planned a 3-day bikepacking adventure across the Catalina Island. Trevor flew out from Minneapolis with 5 Pack Rats and we had the most amazing time together — riding, camping, laughting and the general shenanigans. Read Trevor's blogpost about the adventure.
