Worst Date Ever

Recently Tom Antos shared his lat­est pro­duc­tion for a Cana­dian com­edy group called Noc­tour­nal Emis­sions. Hilar­i­ous!

Oh, inter­net. What would I do with­out you? :)

Power in the Pristine

Some­times less is more.

Patag­o­nia is one of the few places on the planet with untouched and undis­cov­ered cor­ners still remain­ing. Yet, at this very moment, its rivers and wild­lands are under attack. Big busi­ness seeks to choke two of the region’s most pris­tine rivers with mega-dams and plans to dec­i­mate unique for­est ecosys­tems to build the longest power line in the world. Fol­low Team Rios Libres led by pro­fes­sional ath­lete, Timmy O’Neill and lumi­nary writer, Craig Childs as they immerse them­selves into this remote region. Find out what they dis­cover on their jour­ney from the source of the Baker River to the sea. Filled with inspir­ing imagery, com­pelling inter­views and a bit of adven­ture, you’ll gain an under­stand­ing of how this huge hydro­elec­tric scheme would for­ever change the face and char­ac­ter of the area and why we must act now to Keep Patag­o­nia Wild.  For more info: rioslibres.com.

Man caught in storm

In August, we were called on a SAR mis­sion to help an over­due hiker near the Neck­lace Val­ley region. As SAR mem­bers were prepar­ing to go into the field, they recieved word that John had found his way back out of the back­coun­try and hitched a ride to North Bend. Below is a let­ter he sent into a local paper. This sort of out­pour­ing of kind­ness from ran­dom strangers is just one of the rea­sons why search and res­cue is such a reward­ing experience.

Zombies on St Helens

Sit­ting up on Mt St Helens a cou­ple weeks ago we noticed hik­ers were way too zom­bie like. Of course I could not help myself and had to edit this vid. Corny, but it was a good excuse to play with some post edit­ing tools…

Boogie ’til You Poop

Seems the climb “Boo­gie ’til You Puke” was so aptly named for hung over Jason Kruk … well, until it became so much more.

I lauged out loud on this one. This is truly hor­rific and hilar­i­ous. Well played Jason. Well played.…

Beware: the Intense Double Rainbow

I could not think of a bet­ter way to start this blog than with this video. It’s kinda strange to watch a video of a rain­bow for so long, but I some­what was entranced by his reac­tion. I thought *I* appre­ci­ated the out­doors but ‘yosemite­bear’ puts me to shame. Rain­bows FTW!
