Looking for a new challenge for 2012? Then look no further than the UTi Rhodes Run , a grueling 52km (32.3 mile) race through the beautiful Drakensberg mountains of South Africa. This year's race will take place on July 14, in the heart of winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and as always, the course will wander through rough terrain that offers the potential for encounters with wild animals. This will be the 24th edition of the Rhodes Run, and over the years, it has earned a reputation for being quite the

Yesterday I posted a review of the Survival Medic from Adventure Medical Kits . This great little pack includes all kinds of useful items to help you survive in the backcountry, such as a space blanket, safety whistle, basic medical supplies, and items to help start a fire. Best of all, it is compact, weighs just 4.8 ounces, and quite literally could save your life. Thanks to the fine folks over at AMK, I have three of the Survival Medics to give away, and as usual with Adventure Blog gear giveaways, I ...

Last year, Swanky the van was brand new, to me. I bought it from a cop, and my mother(who was a nurse) once told me “Eye doctors can't see; ear doctors are deaf, and psychiatrists are crazy.” Well, I figure that line of thinking probably goes beyond the boundaries of the medical field, if you know what I mean. Now I know there are plenty of optometrists with 20/20 vision, just like most police are law-abiding citizens, but if the lies this guy told me about that van weren't a crime, I don't know what

Way back in March I shared a link to a new website called Peakery.com , which was striving to become a social network for climbers, who could connect, share experiences, research climbs, and mark the summits they had bagged. At launch, it was a little rough around the edges, but the developers have been continuing to add features and update their database, and as of now the site now has more than 338,000 peaks across the globe in its records. Fast forward a few months, and the site has now launched the ...

Okay, I promise I won't be doing recaps or posting thoughts after every episode of Expedition Impossible , but considering my critique of the show earlier in the week , I thought it was fitting that I follow it up with another after watching the second episode. After watching the premiere last week, I felt confident that I was going to enjoy the show, although there were a few aspects that I felt needed to be improved. Watching the second episode, it became more clear that those small nitpicks probably ...

The second episode of ABC's summer reality show Expedition Impossible is set to air tonight, and I know that some of you, like me, enjoyed the first episode and are looking forward to the race continuing. With that in mind, I have a few links to share this morning that fans of the show might really enjoy. First, we have a great post from Eric Weihenmayer on his BlindVision Blog in which he gives a peek behind the curtain and shares some details of what really went on during the race.
