The First Rule of Adventure: Failures are Never Failures
  Story and Photography by Eric Larsen   They were hard questions to receive: “How do you know when to pull the plug on an adventure?” “What do you learn when you come up short?”   I think that both of these topics are relevant, interesting and worthwhile; however, the timing of the inquiry—a few weeks after I returned from a “failed” expedition...
How to Choose Ultralight Backpacking Gear (Tips & Tricks from a Thru
  When I started planning my 2015 Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike, I knew I wanted ultralight backpacking gear. I wasn’t aiming for sub-10 pounds or any particular ‘goal weight’, but I wanted to make intentional gear choices that kept my base weight low without going completely barebones. (Base weight is the total weight of your pack, fully loaded, not including anything...
Thru the Lens: The Pacific Crest Trail
  Last year, Brandon Sharpe made the pilgrimage up the west coast’s Pacific Crest Trail, through 14,000 feet of elevation, 25 national forests, and 7 national parks. His incredible photos showcase many of the trail’s iconic views, and they continue our series: “Thru the Lens: Photo Journeys of the Major Thru-Hikes.”   var lightbox_transition = 'elastic'; var lightbox_speed = 800; var lightbox_fadeOut...
The Carretera Austral by Bicycle: A Wild Ride through Chilean Patagonia
  In Chile, they have a saying: Only those who hurry through Patagonia waste time. For any enthusiast of the great outdoors, it is one of the world’s truly great wildernesses—and somewhere to explore at a slow pace. The very word “Patagonia” stirs up images of grand mountains, thick forests, shimmering lakes and icy glaciers interspersed with a sparse population and...
The Wild and Remote Wind River Range
     We set out from the comfort of our day jobs to experience a new place—a new horizon. We headed north and then west to the Wind River Range of Wyoming. With alternating sounds of good tunes, good conversations, and the constant ‘whirr’ of rubber on the road, we made our way to the trailhead. As the sun slipped lower...

Below he recounts his journey and provides tips for anyone thinking of thru-hiking the Pacific Northwest Trail.   5 author tips for hiking the Pacific Northwest Trail located at the...

Great Climbs & Worthy Causes: Rock Climbing in Eastern Europe
  Nina and Jeremys Big Idea Summer, 2020   Beranger, Savoie, France   The choice of vehicle wasn’t simple. It had to be more than a camper van—reliable off-road and in remote parts of the world, and tough enough to transport a climbing wall (yes, you read that right), all of our rock-climbing gear, photography equipment, and oh yeah, also be a small...

I’m always in awe of the things I obsess over, especially when the lens is through hindsight. Mostly because in the moment, when the idea first takes hold, when the dreams start waking me up at night, when the secret planning starts to form...
Scouting for Fish Farms in the Great Bear Rainforest
  Words and photos By Dustin Silvey, Ph.D   The sun beat down on our adventure team. The other kayak had pulled off a kilometer ahead in the shade of a rock to wait. As we caught up, movement in the water signaled action—on the other side of the rock, a pod of dolphins was hunting our bait ball.   We paddled over...
