Dave Pidgeon over at Compass Points saw that there was a need for well-produced outdoors videos on the web, so he went out and did it himself (I’m right there with him on that point…it’s why I started PTV). Enter Compass Points TV, Dave’s video version of his blog, where he does video trip reports and other videos. He’s just [...]
My buddy Casey over at Just Northwest does a cool little video series called The Northern Rangers, where he and his buddy go out and do fun things in the outdoors. Their most recent adventure was at the I-5 Colonnade Mountain Bike park in Seattle, Washington where local volunteers helped to build a series of urban mountain bike trails right [...]
Stuff. Everybody has it, and most of us have too much. It hides in corners and under beds. It clutters our closets and our drawers. We hide stuff in pantries and under sinks and hell, right out in the open. Knicknacks, curios, trinkets, souvenirs, and thingamajigs fill our lives, and because we clean and neaten and straighten, most times we [...]
Some people are homebodies. Creating a close network of family and friends in a relatively small area keeps them grounded and safe. They have a local community to support them. This works for most people in life. But some people find that their lives are lacking something in their current situation. Their worlds have been shaken up, and they need [...]
I love winter.

The only problem with winter is that I can’t do my favorite summertime sports. Mountain biking takes a back seat in winter for me. No [...]
It’s good to see New York City taking some action to create more green spaces, especially by reclaiming former industrial areas. The High Line Park is a former section of railroad track that makes its way through Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. The tracks were used until the 1980s, then shut down and left to decay until it was slated for demolition [...]
I love video, so when I come across a good one, I just have to show you! Here’s one from Steven Bumgardner – a.k.a. YosemiteSteve on Twitter – who shot and edited this timelapse video for his Yosemite Nature Notes podcast. Make sure you look at it in all its full screen, high definition glory. My favorite part comes in [...]

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting some videos of an interview I did with Russ & Laura from PathLessPedaled.com. The interview was great, and I’m editing several segments for your viewing pleasure. I’m also in talks with several other amazing people who I’m going to interview and feature on PTV. In the meantime, here’s a little taste of [...]
I find this video so very fascinating. I love airports. They are amazing little microcosms of human life where I can sit an watch the way people not only interact with each other, but how they deal with stress and the range of human emotion. The guy in this video, Jason Barger, wrote a book called Step Back from the [...]
