As a writer, Stephen Regenold's primary beats include the outdoors, fitness, sports and travel, though he's written on topics as far flung as Weimaraner breeding, food science and phosphorous-free lawn fertilization.

Regenold writes a nationally-syndicated newspaper column on fitness and the outdoors ("The Gear Junkie"), and his writing appears in publications including New York Times, Popular Science magazine, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe and Chicago Tribune.
