This is an index of all our trip reports around the world. Of course, I will back fill my past trip reports in time, though I have a hard enough time keeping up with the new ones.

If there is a past trip report you’d like or a place you’d want us to report on within reason, I’ve set up a patreon that allows you to direct the time we spent out in the world and on this page.
