History of Gear Junkie
Gear Junkie was founded in 2002 as a newspaper column by Stephen Regenold, a Minneapolis-based journalist. The weekly column, which brings in-depth outdoors product reviews to a national consumer audience, is syndicated via a network of newspapers, magazines, and web sites to reach millions of readers each week.

About Stephen Regenold
As a world-traveling adventurer and journalist, Regenold has climbed, skied, biked and raced from the jungles of interior Belize to fjords in Norway, including mountaineering expeditions, marathons, the Ironman, and an ultra-endurance race that stretched 400 miles across a desert. From 2005 to 2008, Regenold traveled, reported, wrote and published more than 50 stories in the New York Times. He lives in Minneapolis, Minn., with his wife, Tara, three young children, and a 90-pound Weimaraner named Rodney.

Regenold is a freelance correspondent for New York Times. See an archive of his Times work here:
