News, commentary, and insights on adventures, and adventurers, from around the globe.
In an endless search for the world’s biggest waves, Ramón Navarro, Léa Brassy and Kohl Christensen –– amongst others –– find themselves visiting a remote island located 500 miles (804 km) off the coast of Chile. There, they find a place that has managed to not only survive, but thrive, in an era when many…
Everyone knows that Patagonia is an epic outdoor playground for hikers and backpackers, but as it turns out its a pretty great destination for mountain bikers too. In this video, we join a collaborative trip that was organized by adventure travel companies OneSeed Expeditions and Revolución Rides as they explore the Lake District, Carretera Austral, and…
A few weeks back I posted a video of a hunter and a climber in the wilderness sharing their love for public lands and the outdoors. Even though the two of them approached their time in the wilderness very differently, they found that they also had a lot in common too. As it turns out,…
Mongolia is one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited, in large part because the not only are the landscapes utterly spectacular but the people that live there are friendly and accommodating too. This video took me right back to that place as we join a traveler as he sets out to explore the western…
If you’re visiting Yosemite National Park for the very first time, you’ll want to watch this video first. It provides travelers with a rundown of the five must-see attractions found within the park’s borders, including such iconic places as Glacier Point and Yosemite Valley itself.

But, this video takes things to a whole new level as a mountain biker cleverly times his ride –– and ensuing massive jump –– to coincide with the passing of the peloton below. The daredevil soars through the…
A couple of years back I shared a wonderful video of a couple that got closer to one another by learning to mountain bike together. The idea was that if they shared some adventures they would bond more tightly as well. That idea seems to have worked, because fast-forward two years and Graham and Shannon…
As the More Than Just Parks team continues its efforts to create videos of every U.S. National Park –– while also branching out with other projects –– several of their more recent clips have slipped under my radar. Thankfully, I remember to check in on the website from time to time to see what’s new,…
Back in 2016, mountain bikers Hans Rey, Danny MacAskill, and Gerhard Czerner attempt to climb and ride both Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya. No one had ever attempted the two highest peaks in Africa on a bike before, so this was quite an undertaking. This video is a short documentary film about that attempt, with…
