From Sea to Source: Misadventures & Camping on the Hudson River
  In August of 2019, my friend Kirk and I fulfilled a childhood dream, paddling the Hudson River from source to sea. Growing up, my friends and I would explore my small hometown and go as far as we could get before making it home for dinner. We would go paddling, swimming, cliff jumping, hiking and occasionally jump trains when they...
Mountain Running in the Sierra Nevada
  One of the best parts of mountain running is when you get to walk. I’m not calling mountain running a gentle stroll, but generally, you’re not full-on, maxed-out sprinting hour after hour up an enormous rock pile. The running part is great, but the main draw is that rock pile and the ones around it. Just being, and moving, in...
Packrafting the Flathead River in Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness
  Packrafting opened up a world of adventure for me. Being from the desert, the idea of hauling a raft deep into the wilderness was fairly novel. But when photographer Jacob Moon and his wife Natasha invited me to go packrafting on the South Fork of the Flathead, one of the world’s premier rivers, I couldn’t say no.      Photo by...

Himalayas: Preparing for and Hiking at High Altitude
  I’ve joined friends and photographers, Dan and Janine Patitucci for a ten-day Himalayan adventure trek across the Gangotri Glacier organized by Ruck Sack Tours. This glacier is one of the main sources of the Ganges River, and one of the largest in the Himalaya. However, it is rapidly receding. We scramble over rock and rubble where ice once stretched to...
How to Hike the Oregon Coast Trail
  Words and Photos by Laura Lancaster      “I knew you were coming.”   I had been dreading this stretch of the Oregon Coast Trail that ran between Manzanita and Tillamook since we started weekend thru-hiking (or section-hiking) it in chunks back in 2017. Heading south from Tillamook, the OCT follows Highway 101—the main artery for the Oregon Coast—for over 10 miles...

From Practical to Premium: The Banter Goes Bougie
  About an hour into a brisk winter hike along my local trail, pangs of hunger began to rumble. I tried not to think about it, but soon, the pangs became stabs, and my progress stumbled.   Fortunately, Im a big fan of self-care, so I unshouldered my pack under a pine tree and eagerly removed the venison sausage, sharp cheddar cheese,...
What Writing an Outdoors Advice Column Taught Me About Relationships
  My favorite Tough Love question from the last eight years, the one I (somewhat inexplicably) recall most fondly, was from a woman whose boyfriend was grossed out that she used a pee rag—a.k.a. reusable toilet paper—while camping. We got a lot of impassioned reader feedback about that one: Pee is sanitary! Pee is gross! Bodies are normal! Women’s bodies in...
‘Alaska Is Unleashed’: Trump Lifts Sweeping Wilderness Protections, Renames Mt. McKinley
  The countrys 47th president has wasted no time putting his agenda into action. President Donald Trump issued a flurry of executive orders following his Monday inauguration, many of them aimed at reversing environmental policies from former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

How to Learn a New Sport with Your Significant Other

Proof That Our Food Is Filled with Plastic Chemicals
  Chick fil-A used to be my guilty pleasure, especially when traveling. When Im rushing through airports that seductive red and white sign always calls for a detour and a Chicken Deluxe.

Little Camber Goes Long Way: 4FRNT Nevar Backcountry Ski Review
  We pretend that backcountry skiing in Colorado is all powder all the time. I’d be lying if I said my ski acquisitions over the last decade didn’t reflect that fantasy, too.   So when I scraped down a wind-scoured slope, thrashed through breakable crust, and gasped for air in a cloud of deep powder all within the span of one backcountry...
