Travel video news

It may seem like we were just at the 2018 Outdoor Retailer Summer Market held in Denver but it is time once again for the outdoor industry to convene in Colorado to unveil the latest gear for use in our favorite pursuits. I'm flying out tomorrow for Denver and will be preoccupied with the show for the next few days before flying back home on Saturday. The good news is, at this point I only have one other trip scheduled �� for early next week no less �� for the rest of the year, which means I should get back to some sense of normalcy and a regular schedule around here. Most of us in the outdoor industry aren't really sure what to make of this November Outdoor Retailer show. In the past, there have only been two shows a year, summer and winter. But now we have both of those shows, plus an additional winter OR in January. This has put a lot of stress on the exhibitors and attendees alike, as we now have to pay for three trips to Denver when two seemed to suffice just fine in the ...

My busy travel schedule continues this week as I'm once again heading out of town. This time I'm off to Utah to attend the Red Bull Rampage mountain bike event. If you're not familiar with this crazy downhill race, check out the video below. It is quite an experience. I'll be gone through the rest of the week, so updates are likely to be scarce, particularly since we're in one of the quieter times of the year on the adventure front. But I'll be back next week to continue to share stories of wild adventures that are taking place around the world, particularly last he autumn Himalaya climbing season winds down and the Antarctic ski season picks up. There will be plenty of things to talk about in the weeks ahead, but for now go out and enjoy a few adventures of your own. 

Just another quick heads up to let regular readers know that I'll be on the road again for most of next week. This time out, I'm heading to Outdoor Blogger Summit in Roanoke, VA  where I'll not only get the chance to hang out with other content creators in the outdoor industry, I'll be speaking on a couple of topics too.  I've been a part of this event for the past four years and it has been fun to watch it grow and evolve over that time. For the next version of the summit things are going to change up some, but it's too early to talk about that just yet. This time out though, attendees will learn about how to make money from their online publications, work better with editors, balance their time as a freelancer, and so much more. The line-up of speakers (yours truly excluded) are fantastic as well, with some really interesting and innovative things to talk about. The conference runs from Sunday through Tuesday of next week, but I'll be sticking around Roan...

Just a quick note to let regular readers know that The Adventure Blog will be back on hiatus for the rest of the week as I jet off to Bend, Oregon for some mountain biking, hiking, and product testing. It is looking like it will be a pretty busy couple of days, so it seems unlikely that I'll get the chance to update the site while I'm away. That said, a new episode of The Adventure Podcast will be debuting later today and I'll try to schedule a post to remind regular listeners that it is available for tomorrow.  While in Bend, I'll be the guest of a prominent outdoor brand and testing out new gear that will be coming soon. I can't say much more than that yet, mostly because I don't even know for sure what I'll be seeing and testing. That said, I'll share updates on all of the new products when I can, posting thoughts when given clearance. At the moment, it is a relatively quiet time in the outdoor adventure and exploration community. The fall Himalaya cl...
