In celebration of its 35th anniversary, Outside magazine is seeking proposals for its first annual Adventure Grant, a $10,000 endowment “to help fund a smart, creative, and (perhaps) slightly foolhardy project that we’ll feature in an upcoming issue.”
At a remote sheep farm in New Zealand last month, two members of Team GearJunkie/YogaSlackers got an inside peek at where our favorite outdoor fabric, merino wool, comes from.
Thanks to all who came out this past weekend to the Outdoor Adventure Expo, where we gave away $5,000 in gear, including shoes, jackets, packs, Clif energy food, GearJunkie custom Buffs, and much more!
In celebration of 10 years in business, GearJunkie founder Stephen Regenold is presenting at the Outdoor Adventure Expo in Minneapolis this weekend.

With a spicy, sweet taste and a recipe ostensibly dredged from a cookbook used in the Middle Ages, a to-be-released bar from Clif is unlike anything the outdoors world has tasted or seen.
The adventure is on! This year, the GearJunkie crew heads “off the map” to iconic outdoor destinations around North America. Follow us on an exclusive five-part video series that starts today.
Did we say Free? Yes, we did. Free socks. Follow these three steps to get a no-strings free pair of SmartWool’s new PhD outdoor socks shipped to your doorstep this month.
You’re naked in the desert. The sun beats down. But you have a GPS in hand, and there’s a pre-plotted route on the device to find a way back out. That is the premise of this video.
Our contest with SmartWool asked readers to fill in the blank on the statement “I envy merino sheep and their fine wool because. . .”. In the end, these responses struck as the best.
Mountain axes from Black Diamond Equipment and the paintbrush of a local artist were the necessary pieces to put together a set of wall-mountable trophies made for our new EPIC Award project.

Today we officially launch our EPIC award to highlight adventurers, athletes, gear designers, activists, and artists who affect notable change in the outdoors world. And the first winners are. . .
Last month, three riders were killed in an avalanche outside Washington’s Steven’s Pass ski area. Our writer, T.C. Worley, was set to snowboard with one of the victims, Chris Rudolph, just a week after the tragedy. Worley showed up still to pay respect and try and live again in the present moment on the hill.
Next month, GearJunkie.com will launch a new industry and outdoor world initiative, the Epic Award. This post gives background and a call to nominate anyone “epic” within your own outdoors sphere!
Last month, we asked two GearJunkie race team members to film a typical weekday training session in their home town of Bend, Ore. They ran, climbed, did yoga, and explored the urban “wilderness” of Bend, all from their front door in a two-hour true “weekday warrior” experience.
Anyone who has read GearJunkie for years knows of our affinity toward the Buff. A crate of the hard-to-categorize “headwear” pieces have arrived at GearJunkie’s HQ, and we’re cooking up a contest to give a few away.
A readymade ski-joring kit from Ruff Wear includes dog harness and belt for the owner in tow behind. We test the adjustable system with a Weimaraner that has a big chest and a propensity to get ahead on the leash and tug.
U.K.-based Off The Fence Productions will film a TV show this year in the wilds of Georgia that’s part game show, part outdoor-adventure production. The premise: Participants must run, hide, swim and generally elude capture for 48 hours straight.
Twelve sports in one day to celebrate the new year of 2012. That was the premise of a recent feat taken on by Team GearJunkie/YogaSlackers members Jason and Chelsey Magness. From yoga to swimming to mountain biking, see the full schedule of the duo’s long day in the video here.
It’s show time! Outdoor Retailer kicks off this week. The GearJunkie editorial crew is en route to the madness today, including more than 1,000 brands exhibiting in the trade show hall. Here’s a peek at a couple dozen new items attendees will see.
Taking time off from the jungle and other far points of the globe, Bear Grylls, he of “Man vs. Wild” television fame, stars in a new advertising campaign for Dockers. He was photographed by celebrity lens-man Koto Bolofo in the “wilds” of Manhattan.
For the second time, five amateur photogs have landed a prize from Köppen via our contest on a new section of the site, “Weekday Warrior,” which highlights outdoor-adventure activities you can do in your neighborhood and near home.
The Mayans might have thought the world would end in 2012. Mean time, a closer onslaught is coming in the form of the season’s biggest outdoor-industry event, the Outdoor Retailer trade show, where a tsunami of gear floods into the market. GearJunkie has the exclusive on this first sneak peek.
An innovative camp stove, a multitool with a camera mount, toe-equipped Vibram shoes, and Bear Grylls knives topped our most-read list for 2011. Here is the full countdown.
Here’s to a happy Christmas to all, merry holidays, and a good New Year! Hoping you all get out today or over the coming holiday time and try out some new gear, play in the woods, or push your limits a little before we call 2011 quits. All the best!
