It’s been one hell of a year. While I spent much of it traveling between our HQ in Midtown Manhattan and the Hudson Valley, I saw our members of our team set off on journeys of their own — some to Cuba, some to Germany, others to Sweden and to L.A. We also dispatched a small team to to report on the Ossabaw Island hog, America’s so-called “miracle pig,” while another followed a team of elite female cyclists, racing for recognition, in Wisconsin. Our combined mission: to produce Gear Patrol Magazine: Issue Three, 320 pages full of people, products and places — stories we hope will inspire you to take journeys of your own. See below for a sneak preview. – Jack Seemer
