Welcome back reader! Thanks again… and again… and again for sticking with me on this blog, I really cannot have done this without you. I am not a robot, no, not by any means, but, the cool fact is, I am writing this at 7:07PM EST on December 29th, 2012, and here you are, just getting it fresh of the presses on April 10th, 2013 at 7:06AM EST!

Why is there a weekly Wendesday Infographic on the Just Your Average Hiker blog? I went on a kick starting about 12/27/12 on infographics, and well, I’ve been scheduling the posts weekly. So, there will be more, how many? Who knows, but, as long as there is interest, I’ll keep them going!

With that – should I keep them going? Let me know in the comments!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming! This week’s infographic is from the folks at another one of my beloved outfitters, EMS, and shows the differences between equipment of old, and the new fancy dancy stuff. Enjoy! Until next week (which is about to be written about 20-30 minutes from NOW, which will be in the past for you, by about four months! #blogtimetravelling!)
