Into The Wild – Film Review
Wow! This film is based on a true story and it certainly made me feel incredibly emotional as I watched this young man go through so many changes in his life. It reminded me a bit of the film “The Way” which started with a guy in his early 20’s who decided that a conventional…
The 5am Miracle Podcast
I have been listening to Jeff Sanders podcast called The 5am Miracle Podcast now for over three years and I do not think I have missed an episode. The title may think that the content is all about getting up at the crack of dawn, but it is much more than that. Jeff often interviews…

I think I was expecting lots of interesting talks, many gear stalls with lots of new and exciting adventure gadgets to explore. …

The Last Englishman by Keith Foskett
A Thru-Hiking Adventure on the Pacific Crest Trail After reading Keith’s previous book which talked about his journey along the Camino, I quickly became a Keith Foskett (or Fozzie to his readers) fan. He writes from the heart, and you can also see the characters that he chats about in real life on his YouTube…
Five Gadgets That I Adore for All My Hiking Trips
Last week I put together a video of the five items that I had purchased that were a complete waste of money. (see here). This week, I thought it would be wise to add a topic that was a bit more helpful and added some value for you guys with the five gadgets that…
