Off to Outdoor Retailer

We've only just returned from a bit of a holiday break, and its time to hit the road once again. Tomorrow, I'll be headed off to Salt Lake City to attend the 2016 Winter Outdoor Retailer show where I'll get a chance to take a look at the newest outdoor gear scheduled for release later this year.

The show itself doesn't actually begin until Thursday, but I'll be joining a few other media folks on an overnight camping excursion tomorrow before some of the official festivities begin on Wednesday. This means that once again, updates are likely to be sparse for the week ahead, at least here on the blog itself. I will be sharing thoughts and images from the OR show floor on my Twitter feed, as well as on The Adventure Blog Facebook page. Follow either of those to catch a glimpse of some of the best new gear that I come across along the way.

If you'd like to read a preview of what to expect from the show, I've written three of them that will be going up at Gear Institute over the next few days. The first one is live now, and the others will follow on Tuesday and Wednesday. Each takes a look at ten interesting items that will be revealed at the event.

Hopefully things will get back to a normal pace around here next week. It's time to get focused on 2016, and some of the fun adventures ahead. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Happy Holidays From The Adventure Blog

I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of the readers of The Adventure Blog a Happy Holiday Season! It has been another great year, and I couldn't continue to write this humble little blog without you dropping by on a regular basis. I appreciate everyone who spends some time keeping up with all of the things I write about. I hope 2015 was great for all of you, and 2016 is even more adventurous.

With Christmas now upon us, and the end of the year in sight, the posting schedule will probably be a bit erratic over the next week or so. I'm sure there will be a few updates during that time period, but just like the rest of you, I'll be enjoying some time with friends and family. Things will get back to normal early in 2016, as we resume our coverage of the world of exploration and outdoor adventure. Until then, have a safe holiday season, and I'll be back soon.

On The Road Again - Heading to the Caribbean

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I'll be traveling again over the next few days. I'm headed to Antiqua and Barbuda on assignment. While there, I'll be exploring everything these Caribbean islands have to offer in terms of adventure, while of course soaking up a bit of sun in the process.

That means there likely won't be any updates for the remainder of the week, although I'll be back to my normal posting schedule next Monday. In the meantime, take the opportunity for the remainder of this week and the weekend ahead, to get outside and enjoy some of your own adventures too. Fall is starting to run short here in the northern hemisphere, and we should take advantage of it while we can.

Back soon!

One Last Thank You to Mountain Khakis

I know I've mentioned Mountain Khakis a number of times over the past few weeks, but as November draws to a close, I want to do it one more time. The company, which is based out of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, was generous enough to sponsor The Adventure Blog for the month and I am grateful for them doing so. It doesn't hurt that I also really like their products, and can unequivocally endorse their gear as well.

Considering we're coming off the Thanksgiving weekend here in the states, I'd also like to thank all of the readers who make The Adventure Blog a part of their daily or weekly routine. I appreciate you stopping by my little corner of the Internet as well, as you not only help to keep me going week in and week out, but you inspire me with your own adventures as well.

Tomorrow, things will return to normal around here, and the blog will have its familiar look once again. But there are may be some other changes afoot in the days ahead as well, so stay tuned for possible news on that front.

Thanks again to Mountain Khakis. I've been proud to fly their banner here over the past few weeks.

Thanks Again to Mountain Khakis

As we start another week here at The Adventure Blog, I once again wanted to extend my appreciation to Mountain Khakis for sponsoring the site for the month of November. I appreciate the support, and have been very happy to have them onboard for the past several week.

If you're not familiar with MK and their line of products, now is a great time to change that. With the holidays now just around the corner, you'll no doubt be searching for the perfect gift for the adventure traveler or outdoor enthusiasts on your list. Mountain Khakis has plenty to choose from, for both men and women, including their signature line of pants of course, but also shirts, jackets, and a complete line of accessories, amongst plenty of other things.

Do me a favor and click on over to the Mountain Khakis website to checkout everything they have to offer. Chances are you'll not only find something to help out with your holiday shopping needs, but you'll probably find something for yourself too.
