Back in 2014, pro climber Alex Honnold gave us a tour of the 2002 Ford Econoline E150 he used as his mobile base camp. That van served him...
VIDEO LINK: Washington's 3 National Parks in 3 Days (Mount Rainier, Olympic, North Cascades) | Outdoor Detour I spent Oct 20-23 on a quick trip in Washington crossing out all three National Parks up there. I typically treat my first trip to a new location as more of a scouting and photography trip--planning out sunrise and sunset shooting locations, then everything in-between, and as soon as it gets dark I start driving to my next location so I'm ready to go at sunrise. This way I can get the lay of the land, see as may sights as humanly possible, and then I'll know exactly where I want to spend more or less time on future trips back there. So this was very much the first trip of many to the PNW, as I still have so much more to explore out there. I've always been more into photography but I've always taken videos documenting my outdoor trips for snapchat and instagram and have even started proper blogging at OutdoorDetour.com, but I decided I wanted to try my hand at the YouTube/vlogging game, so this is the first time I've actually set out to make a proper video using trip footage. Let me know what you think, because I'm planning on continuing this for every future trip. Keep in mind.. this is my very first proper trip video and first time using Adobe Premiere CC. I'm not a movie maker or a wordsmith or an artist. Just trying to make some original content that people might be interested in. So I'm looking for any and all constructive criticism on the video. What did you like, what didn't you like, what would you want to see more or less of? If you're more interested in the photography side of things, you can find more trip photos over at instagram.com/OutdoorDetour. Thanks, everyone! My Itinerary:

I have a bunch of outdoors-folks to buy gifts for this christmas. Hikers, climbers, campers, hunters and fisherfolk.
I am really picky about my gear and would rather get gift cards, but that won't fly for personal reasons this time.
So what did you get/give that you/they were actually happy to have?
What outdoor adventure events have you done? Looking for something fun to sign up for (alone or with friends). Doesn’t have to be a race. Could be a challenge. Done Spartans and trail running.
It’s hard not to click ‘purchase’ when anything Patagonia goes on sale. And the Synchilla Snap-T pullover is an absolute classic for cooler seasons like fall.
Even if you already own one of these fleece fuzzies, there’s always room for another. Personally, I hold back a well-loved, ember-seared Patagonia Synchilla for chilly mornings at camp, where a coffee spill is inevitable. I keep another nicer Patagonia pullover on hand to sport around town — and even snuggle up to the bar.
Either way, the Synchilla Snap-T is one decent deal for a go-to multiseason layer at about 35 percent off retail. Better yet, it’s on sale for men ($90) and women ($78), so anyone can score a Synchilla that fits well.
But according to mountainsteals.com, there are only five days left to get one. Good luck.
