"As every backpacker knows, bringing alcohol out on the trail has one obvious downside — and it's not a potential hangover in the wilderness. It's weight. Hardcore backpackers may scoff at the idea of weighing down their packs with alcohol, but if you have your heart set on campsite cocktails, check out our helpful guide to backpacking with booze. " This is how camping and hiking should be.
Shit-ton of work to do these first few days of the week, AND SoundCloud is down, so I can't give you a full list today. But those are just petty excuses! Here are two gems that are must haves for your downtempo collection. The first track is off of Ill.Gates' new album Ill.Methodology which you can [...]
It's here! The final lineup for MidPoint 2011. Well, sorta final. In the past few months some great bands have been added to an already great lineup, and today we get the rest of the list, to round things out. Full lineup and schedule is here. A couple items of note. - No Southgate House shows this year, I think this is a good move. While I love SGH, it was too far removed from the heart [...]

So the FMLY RIDE in LA has been postponed till next weekend due to the rain but don't fret! Next Saturday is going to be epic beyond belief. The Entrance Band will now be joining us as well as a few other surprises. This will be a chill, slow paced ride so if you have a cruiser, skateboard, roller blades, etc. don't let that stop you from having F.U.N. This month we are playing cowboys and indians so Eastsiders, put on your 10 gallon hat and finest boots; Westsiders, get your war paint on and the [...]

NYT: In recent years, it has become fashionable for a growing number of Swiss and some foreigners to wander in the Alps clad in little more than hiking shoes and sun screen. Last summer, the number of nude hikers increased to such an extent that the hills often seemed alive with the sound of everything but the swish of trousers. If you want info about nude hiking in the United States, go no further than the Nude Hiking Blog .
NYT story on the mighty Mt. Washington: Our destination on this cloudy mid-December morning was the top of Mount Washington in the Presidential Range of New Hampshire. At 6,288 feet, Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeast. Thousands of hikers make the ascent in warmer months, most often starting, as we did, at the Appalachian Mountain Club's Pinkham Notch Visitor Center on the east side of Mount Washington. In winter, the four-mile hike to the summit, which gains about 1,000 feet of elevation with each mile, attracts a hardier lot. [...]
'The Lads', as I came to refer to them, were precisely that: three ruddy, twenty-ish Irish boys - not the slight, poetic type, but the athletic, overgrown footballer variety. I hadn't met any of them yet; their musical gibberish played upon itself and created a layer of comfort in my mind - like watching one of those old BBC programs on PBS. You don't really understand many of the jokes, you can scarcely comprehend the dialect, and you only laugh because of the wry earnestness of it all. Still, it's late at night and you're [...]
