BUT significantly although…heck.. quarantine, arm in a forged for 7 week (lastly off yay!), keep at house orders in place, it’s simple to default to leggings, scrunchies and no make-up.

Taste Test: Comparing 4 Patagonia Provisions Organic Soups

Image
I’ll preface this review by saying I’m not really a “soup person.” But on my journey toward a more environmentally friendly lifestyle, I recognize the value of a food category that’s nutritious, plant-based, and easy to prepare. There’s a reason soup has been part of the human diet for centuries, a staple meal of which you can find some iteration in nearly every culture. In fact, it was half a world away in the Himalayas that Yvon Chouinard, famed mountaineer and the founder of Patagonia, discovered the inspiration for his company’s version of Tsampa soup. A mix of sprouted, roasted barley and veggies, the dehydrated soup is one of four varieties offered by Patagonia Provisions. The Best One-Pot Dinners to Make This Week For a company aggressively committed to sustainability and to “solutions to the environmental crisis,” food is a natural progression in Patagonia’s scope. The food industry is facing a crisis—overgrazed prairies, antibiotic-laden livestock, unsustainable crop system...

Photo Gallery: Hiking to Washington’s Hidden Lake Lookout

Image
Words by Andy Cochrane and Johnie Gall. There’s something ironic about sleeping in a retired fire lookout while surrounded by the smoke from nearby wildfires. But even the potential lung damage couldn’t keep us away from a night in Washington’s Hidden Lake Lookout. Perched on the top of a granite peak just beyond the perimeter of North Cascades National Park, surrounded by 360-degree views of jagged mountain ranges and steep glaciers, there are very few places like Hidden Lake Lookout in the world, let alone just a few hours from a major U.S. metro area. Meet Bo Bridges: Action Sports Photography’s ‘Indiana Jones’ The Hidden Lake Lookout was built in 1932 and actively manned until it was decommissioned in 1953. It has been maintained by volunteers since, primarily by a group that calls itself “Friends of Hidden Lake Lookout.” Hikers willing to take on the four-mile, 3,200-foot climb (and what looks like an unattainable final push up the backside of a mountain) will be rewarded with...

Staying positive in unprecedented times

Image
We keep hearing that it is “unprecedented times.” Thank you! We got the memo lol…  Everywhere we turn, look, scroll, and listen we hear this. Our lives have changed… Got it. Our comfort has been stretched… Got it. There is a lot unknown about the virus. Our rights are changing, our normalcy has changed and many are feeling uncertain, fearful and some, angry and even rebellious. And,  It is SO HARD to know who to follow, what to listen to, and what to believe and more. The truth of the matter is no one actually knows what will come from these times because it is new to EVERYONE. There seems to be three categories of people: Those who act like nothing has changed, those who seem to have ALL the answers and blame and want to shout it to the world, and those that are observing….

16 Microadventures Fit for the Pandemic

“See the opportunities for adventures, not the constraints that get in the way,” wrote Alastair Humphreys in his widely popular book, Microadventures: Local Discoveries for Great Escapes . Published years before the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) caused border closures, social distancing, and self-isolation, Humphreys was ahead of his time. The book suggests that artificially busy lives thwart big adventures before they get started. The solution? Humphreys advises not to make it hard. “Make your adventure so small and easy there’s no excuse,” he writes—fitting advice during a pandemic, with many of us stuck at home and struggling to find adventure. “Sometimes all you need is to climb a hill, spend time staring at an empty horizon, jump into a cold river or sleep under the stars, or share a whisky at a small country inn to remind yourself what matters most in life,” says Humphreys, a Nat Geo Explorer of the Year who once spent four years biking around the world.
