Travel video news

For the past 12 years, the Reel Rock Tour has been bringing us some of the best climbing and mountaineer documentaries we've ever seen, and year 13 doesn't look like it will be any different. The video below is the official teaser trailer for the upcoming tour, which will bring some spectacular films to venues across the U.S., Canada, and a handful of other countries as well. The three-minute long video will give you an idea of what to expect and once you've gotten excited enough to attend the tour yourself, head over to the website to purchase your tickets in advance. You won't be disappointed.

After taking a couple of weeks off while I was on the road, The Adventure Podcast returns with a new episode this week. Our main topic is adventure documentary films, with co-host Dave Adlard and I sharing our picks for our favorite outdoor, travel, and adventure themed docs. You'll find a number of classic films on our list, along with a few surprises too we hope. As usual, we start the show with some stories from the world of exploration and outdoor adventure, including an update on the fall climbing season in the Himalaya, a new land speed record by a cyclist, and a new world record in the marathon as well. Then, we wrap things up with some gear news and reviews, with Dave sharing a new duffel bag that has caught his eye, while I chime in with some thoughts on BioLite's new Headlamp and a comfortable new sleep system for camping. I've embedded the show in this blog post and you'll find it below if you prefer to listen from your browser. You can also find us on Apple...
