A Word from Zach
I am fortunate to have the opportunity to combine writing and photography with outdoor experiences and testing gear. When all is said and done, I feel most alive when I’m outside doing anything that involves movement. There is a freedom in being outdoors and away from the routine of daily life that can’t be matched.
I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many hobbies and my aim is to be rich with experience.
