I’ve updated my field recording equipment pages.
The TOC is here.
The first page is a brief survey of some Field Recording equipment. This is fairly general — not just for travel writers.
The second page emphasizes equipment and practices that apply more to Travel Writers.

Recording "studio" in a walk-in closet. The digital recorder is clamped to the mic's floor stand, and the clamp also serves as a hanger for the headphones. The script is clipped to a rack of ties.
The third page has Audio Samples using equipment the way a travel writer might when making voice-overs for a blog or slide show. I intend to add some more samples since I just got a shotgun microphone.
