Ode to The Fall

Ode to The Fall

Published 2020-11-10
By: Brand Ambassador, Matthew Irving I miss fighting fire. Or at least the idea of it. Ten years ago, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life and left to pursue a career in filmmaking. Even though I’m happy with the direction I’m headed, there is still a small part of me […]

Honoring Mount Hooker – Part One

Published 2020-10-21
By: Outdoor Ambassador, Becky Switzer It’s July, over four months into the pandemic. Plans have been waylaid to the nth degree. Nevermind international travel… simply heading across the country makes even the most veteran travelers think twice. As with many rock climbers, my plans were altered, and to be perfectly honest, plans for later this […]

Over the Edge

Published 2020-05-26
By: Matthew Irving I peered through the brush toward what I thought was the edge. It was hard to distinguish through the thick vegetation. Sounds of the jungle echoed up the canyon walls. Unseen birds called out. Somewhere below a river thundered, carving out the valley that had been formed over millennia. I stood motionless […]

An Ode to the Packout – Looking Forward to When We All Get Back Outside Safely

I dropped my trekking pole. There it was, just resting a few feet from my boots in the snow. I was perched on a steep, snowy, rocky hillside with a stupid-heavy pack on, loaded down with a boned-out mule deer buck, rack, my rifle, tripod, optics, and other hunting-related detritus.

There’s no denying it, people are weird. They’re everywhere you look. Like that couple grocery shopping barefoot or that guy who talks about his cats like they’re his children (guilty).

Staying Safe in Bear Country

Published 2019-10-03
For anyone who tuned into the news recently, it’s hard to miss that in a span of about two weeks in September, four hunters were attacked by grizzly bears. Thankfully none of the encounters were fatal, but it is a sobering reminder that spending time in bear country requires preparation and mindfulness to reduce the possibility of an encounter of your own.
