As an outdoor adventure and travel writer, I'm fortunate in that I often get to test some amazing gear. I'm regularly sent backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, clothing and more, and while I'm often impressed with the gear I test, I seldom see something that is truly life changing. That is the best way to describe the LifeStraw however, which is a product that has the potential to change the world. The LifeStraw is one of those products that is so simple, you wonder why someone didn't think of it sooner. It

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

In the spring of 2010 I traveled to Nepal and made the trek to Everest Base Camp. A trip like that one requires plenty of gear, including a good pair of boots, a comfortable pack, and plenty of clothing to keep you warm at altitude. But one of the pieces of gear that I found to be the most invaluable was my SteriPEN Journey water purifier.

I just wanted to post a quick note this morning to welcome Steripen as an advertiser to my blog. For those that aren't aware of what they do, Steripen makes a number of products designed to purify your water while backpacking, camping, or traveling. But while many companies make iodine tablets and similar items that you can drop in your water, Steripen makes filters, and more importantly, high tech devices that use ultraviolet light to kill 99.99% of all the bacteria and other bad stuff that can be ...
