Gear Review: Selk’Bag Patagon
I have to admit, I thought the wearable sleeping bag thing was ridiculous when they came on the market a year (or so) ago. It just looked hokey. Definitely not a “real” sleeping option. BUT, when I had the opportunity to try out a Selk’Bag Patagon for the #EpicDangerRoadTrip, I was intrigued enough to say […]

#EpicDangerRoadTrip
The past few months I have been posting gear reviews and snippets of stories about a rather epic road trip with my good friend Stuart Peck over the summer. Now I can share the whole story!

KEEN Durand Low WP review
I had high hopes of producing a video review of the gear Stu and I had the opportunity to test out during our #EpicDangerRoadTrip in June, but suffice to say, I do much better behind the camera than in front of one. So a static review will have to do… trust me! I will finish […]

#ORInsightLab: Maximus Jacket
Your hardshell jacket is one of the most important layers when you head to the mountains. It is your security blanket when things get nasty. It is your protection from the elements.

2011: A Look Back
2011 has been a phenomenal year for me… two major international trips in 6 months (Perú & China), a new house and a great job have blessed me. Here are some of my favorite images from the past year!
