My Hike Across America: Why I Must Have Gadgets in the Wilderness
Posted on January 17, 2012
When I first conceived of the idea of hiking across America I envisioned an epic adventure, a journalistic tale of endurance and survival over 5,000 miles of American wilderness in which I played the lead role. Like the solo expeditions of good-ol’-day explorers I imagined mine a low-tech trek- no phone, no internet, no gadgets. I’d travel along the very edge of modern society, and I’d beargrylls my way across the country surviving through sheer power of will and infallible instinct. Now, one month before departure, I’ve decided that I can still do all that. I just need an iPhone 4S.
I’ve adjusted my vision quite a bit since I dreamed up my adventure fantasy two years ago- I currently own ten pounds worth of gadgets.
Solar panel, DSLR camera, HD helmet cam, HD flip cam, remote controlled airplane for aerial photography, weather radio and altimeter, satellite tracking device, iPhone 4S.
