My fiction and satire have been published in Artful Dodge, Runner's World, the Chicago Tribune, the Cincinnati Post, Minnesota Bench & Bar, the Allentown Morning Call, and many other publications.
As a backpacker, my many miles in the woods have allowed me to develop an unusual style of backpacking--most recently, with a tarp instead of a tent or hammock, without a sleeping pad, without trekking poles, without eating (many) sugars or carbs, and using sandals rather than boots or trail runners. In 2018, I thru-hiked the entire 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail this way and posted videos about my hike at my YouTube channel "Evan's Backpacking Videos." My long-form documentary about my hike, "The Appalachian Trail: From End to End," has more than 575,000 views. I've also commented about the backpacking scene at my Instagram account, @Backpacker_Comics.
