The internet has made my journey to becoming a professional adventurer a much smoother and no doubt faster one. Instant access to information regarding mapping, weather, equipment, regions and the whole expedition gamut is at my hands. The downside of this is the ease with which I am able to be side-tracked from pressing work, first to sort-of related stuff and eventually into a totally unrelated arena! There are quite a few websites where I squarely place the blame for this. I have listed the current most guilty below.

Alastair Humphreys - http://www.alastairhumphreys.com/
Explorers Web - http://www.explorersweb.com/
Twitter - http://www.twitter.com
Mike Horn - http://www.mikehorn.com
The Traveler's Notebook - http://thetravelersnotebook.com/
Suunto - http://www.suunto.com
Walking the Amazon - http://www.walkingtheamazon.com
Iran Mountain Zone - http://www.mountainzone.ir
European Fight Network - http://www.efnsports.com/
Iranian - http://www.iranian.com
Al Jazeera - http://english.aljazeera.net/
Smithsonian Mag - http://www.smithsonianmag.com/

There are more, but these are my "most wanted". Please be careful around these sites. You will find yourself clicking on a link from one of Al's posts and 10 minutes later (after following several more links) reading about something that might have a rather tenuous link to mountains. I share some of the blame. More discipline is needed. I'm working on it.

What sites get you off the straight and narrow and into the back country?
