This made me curious, so I went to the site. He has a donation counter on the front page, showing $5,000 this month. Over $30,000 for the year so far. He's on track to make over $50,000/year running a website that is basically his hobby? Most of the content is provided to him for free and he just posts the journals and trip reports they've written? Maybe it's my lack of a high paying office job, but that sounds like a pretty sweet gig to me.
