BUT... where is the cool hat ??!!
This is THE magazine I have been waiting for. Heres one for ya...I read most of mine on the hood of my Humvee in Baghdad-ville. I think its up to the tortures to be expected outdoors. I have just one, er, issue that doesnt bother me, but drives me nuts....In the Latitude section, please tell me there is a longitude hidden somewhere in either the page of the picture or something? You gotta help me! There are a couple of pictures that I just think, man, I want to go there. Anyways, No big deal. GREAT WORK. GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY. GREAT ARTICLES. I cant wait to get my next one!
I just got two issues at Surf N Turf and I can't say enough that this mag rocks!
Awesome printing, great articles, amazing photography and real writing, not some pandering to the sponsors kind of stuff.
Loved the write up on Pasquales rig, especially since I was reading it as I waited for him to finish breakfast out of the back of the rig!
My wife has been doing publications for over 15 years, she's very impressed as well.
Look for my subscription soon!

Scott,
I can only second Pablo's comments. Grabbed one issue at SnT and read it last night - all of it outside the motorcycle article. Really enjoyed the worldwide perspective and especially the article on the eagle hunters! Write up on Pasqual's awesome 80 must have been in a different issue.

Thanks again for all of the kind words everyone.
The last day to subscribe, and still get winter (other than as a back issue) is December 6th. The winter journal will ship around the 11th. It is finished and going through the printer process (proofs, cover, body, binding, etc.).
The winter is one of my favorites so far. It also features my Arctic Ocean expedition.

I just read your Arctic story. I would recommend the Marmot CWM EQ sleeping bag with liner. If you are going to frolic in -50 degree weather, you need a good sleeping bag, good boots, and a good parka. Perhaps you should put more research into your personal gear as you apparently did with your vehicle preparation.
We spent six months researching and preparing, including consulting with the manufacturers on performance. Since we live in the desert, we needed to rely more on the advice and recommendations of others than with things on the vehicles, which we knew and could test. We had no way to (reasonably) replicate -50.
Some gear met that expectation, some did not. We were transparent about that in the article...
Adding Pasquale to the team was a last minute change (with the addition of the Mobil1 sponsorship, he had a matter of days to buy gear, without research) He picked up the first rated bag he could with a liner.
The gear I used worked as expected, with the exception of the North Face boots, which did not perform as the North Face advised.
We had parkas and pants from Columbia, and they worked great. We had down jackets from Mountain Hardware, and they also worked great.
Have you ever had a piece of gear fail to perform or meet your expectations?
If you test new gear, I am sure you have. We all have.
There are times that things just do not work as advertised, or advised.
Have you ever relied on others for research (because of limited time or experience in that environment) and it fall short?
Experts are wrong sometimes, and we learn from it, and make better choices the next time. Just part of the learning process.
It is part of the adventure, and why we test gear and share our experiences. We are constantly pushing into new environments and testing new gear, it is what we do. We will not always be perfect, but we will always be honest. I can promise you that Chad

Thanks Scott. That is great to hear. I appreciate your candidness and am sorry if I came across harsh. I look forward to future issues of your magazine. The US runs McMurdo Station on Ross Island, Antarctica where it gets below -50. You may want to consult with them on the gear that they use.
Oh, and nice Chukar shot 
I was just sitting here at the desk enjoying my latest Shooting Sportsman... Nice to see you are a fellow wingshooter. (there seems to be quite a few on this board actually).

I just finished reading that issue of Shooting Sportsman earlier this week. Hopefully the chukar season is better next year.
