Just wanted to send a quick congratulations on the debut of Exploration Quarterly. I have enjoyed every article so far. Loved Jonathan’s article on the World’s Deadliest Animal. So interesting and he has such a great sense of humor! Your Field Arts section is filled with so much “eye candy”, it’s wonderful! I’m looking forward to Volume 2, to read how to make my own Journal! You both are so inspiring! ”
“I found your website earlier this year and have really enjoyed the info, reviews, and various other articles that you publish . . . I just wanted to say thank you for this great website! Also, your tastes in the finer things overland are nice as they have allowed me to find some great pieces of gear for myself and my rig—top notch.”
“Just received the premier issue of Exploration Quarterly - well done! It’s like getting National Geographic in a larger format. Collector’s item for sure.”
