We do make shirts! And they support the environment by being made of organic cotton (http://bit.ly/4hlZeYV)! Keep an eye out for specials (maybe around Earth Day…?) when we give a percentage of proceeds to environmental non-profits.

You guys are great but why aren’t you making shirts supporting the parks?

Comment on Merrell Trail Glove 7 vs 6: The Death of a Shoe? by Dean

I’ll agree with this. I loved the v5, got a v6 and hated it. The v7 is almost as good as the v5 and is far more durable. I wear it not just for trail, but also as a general every day shoe.

Comment on Hiking in Cyprus: 3 Hikes in Northern Cyprus by Alisha McDarris

In reply to Nick Smith. Hi, Nick! We did learn a lot of the history before and during our visit to Cyprus. It's a very difficult history to put into words (at least in a short blog post about hiking). But our Cypriot friends who grew up in the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus referred to it as the "Greek side" and "Turkish side," so we did, too. We always try to be sensitive to delicate political and cultural issue, but can't always find the words to fully paint the picture as non-historians. Indeed, there's a lot of traumatic history there (as in many places), and we appreciate readers pointing that out and helping others understand.

Interesting hikes, but maybe learn a bit of the history before referring to the “Greek side”. The Turkish Republic of North Cyprus is unrecognised and considered illegally occupied territory by the United Nations. It’s fine to visit, but please don’t be so blase in the way you talk about what is a complex and traumatising issue.

In reply to Dave. Glad you found it useful! Honestly, this trip feels so long ago that I don't remember, but I think it was just the last section of the trail we were on!
