Slacklining – Fun, Inexpensive way to be Active Outdoors
I live in the middle of a flat, dry dessert. There isn’t much in the way of outdoor recreation. At least not locally. Not even a good bike trail. Being active outside is a challenge for my family. So I recently started looking for ways my family and I could spend some quality time together without diving several hours to be outdoors. My solution? Slacklining.Slacklining in Midland Texas. Any trek fans out there?Slacklining has appealed to me for sometime. It

Its been 3 months since my last post, which is way too long.Upcoming Report for Garner State ParkNot that you need to hear the excuses, but work, life, family,

Chaos CTR Adrenaline Multi-Tasker Pro Balaclava – Review
I have a beard. Mostly because I think I look stupid without it, but also because it is a natural insulator. If my wife would let me, I would grow it out more until it was a little thicker. As it is now, its not much against cold and wind. There are days when its just not enough and I need something more substantial to keep my face and neck warm.Chaos CTR Adrenaline Multi-Tasker Pro BalaclavaOn days like that you

Black Friday Gear Deals

Hydrapak 3L Hydration Bladder – Review
When I was a little I loved to take straws from restaurants and attach them end to end to make one long epic straw. I don’t know what the fascination was, but it seems to be a pretty universal one. I have seen countless children, in countless restaurants making the same types of straws. Then you have crazy straws that loopy loop or form glasses or other crazy shapes. There’s just something about long straws that captivates the little kid
