It has been a couple of weeks since we had any kind of update on the Elephant Ivory Project , the expedition that is being conducted by Trip Jennings and Andy Maser, who are in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in an effort to put a halt to the illegal ivory trade. Trip and Andy went to the Congo to venture deep into the bush, where they hoped to collect plenty of samples of elephant dung that they could use to build a "DNA map" of the region. That map could hold the key to shutting down poachers, as

Work on the Elephant Ivory Project continued this week, explorers Trip Jennings and Andy Maser forging ahead with their work. As you may recall from previous posts on this expedition, Trip and Andy have made their way to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in hopes of collecting samples of elephant dung from a number of distinct herds in the country.

I'm still working on catching up on news from when I was away, and one of the big stories is the start of the Wenger Patagonia Expedition Race , which got underway on Tuesday of this week. The race, which has become the unofficial kick-off to the big international adventure racing season in recent years, pits coed teams of four against one another in one of the most beautiful, yet extreme, environments on the planet. When the race began, there were 15 teams in the field, including defending champs Adidas

OK, the joke I linked to. Here goes: There’s this wise old bull and an eager young bull standing atop a gorgeous hillside, looking down at a herd of pretty cows, and the young bull goes, “Hey-hey Dad, let’s run down and fuck one of them cows!” “No, Son,” the old bull says, “Let us [...]

The World is an amazing place, and sometimes we need to be reminded of just how powerful and impressive it really is. Take this video for example. It was shot by a couple of cameramen from National Geographic who were in Africa filming some footage for the upcoming special Great Migrations , which airs this November. The filmmakers were simply hoping to catch a glimpse of a herd of elephants crossing the desert, and instead they became first hand witnesses of how powerful nature really can be. In this ...

One of the things that is often forgotten about a trek to Everest Base Camp is that getting there is just the halfway point of the trip.

Mission accomplished. But then it dawns on you, you have to go back down too! That's the experience in the latest episode of The Rest of Everest , where the trekking group has
