Welcome to Get the Gear, a blog maintained by dynamic duo of Bill and Jessy. We love the outdoors. We'll keep a hiking journal on the site, as well as posting some other things dealing with the outdoors that we find interesting.
Why.
We knew we wanted a way that we could tell people about our travels by train around the Western US this summer for our honeymoon. We also wanted to keep a journal of our hikes. As we talked about it, we figured that a blog would be the best way to do so. We can share pictures and little details of our hikes, and we can quickly update it from our phones when we have internet access while we are traveling.
The Name.
In February, my wife and I were able to go to the Portlandia tour here in Nashville. One sketch they did really resonated with us:
This is only a slight exaggeration. Bill is the type of guy who brings a compass with him on a 2 mile hike, stuffed in his Camelbak between the rain poncho and the Leatherman. We spent the next day after the show up in Blue Ridge, Georgia repeatedly saying the phrase "Get the Gear" as we hiked around and cracking each other up. We do that a lot.
