Well, I’m about done reliving all the fun I had while out at the Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City. I’ve put a whole bunch of videos up on my YouTube channel instead of embedding them here. Why, you ask? Pretty simple, really - since this is primarily a woods/water/nature kinda site, it didn’t make much sense to have a video of kayaking right next to a fashion show video. It just doesn’t fit well in the rotation, plus the Outdoor Retailer videos get much more exposure on YouTube than they will anywhere else. There’s videos of Adventure Medical Kits, Jetboil Flash, Climashield, the Fashion Show, Sea to Summit products and a couple of other just scenes from the show floor.
Get on over to YouTube and watch the Outdoor Retailer videos instead of all those goofy bloopers and random acts of amateur stupidity that you usually watch while at work. You can only see a guy light his hair on fire while all his friends laugh so many times before you start trying to come up with similar ideas. Not good.
Not that there’s anything wrong with the Sniper Twins “Shake That Salad” and “Computer Friends” videos. They make me laugh every time….
It’s the Jetboil PCS with a new twist - the three stripes on the cup change color when hot! The lid is also translucent, allowing for viewing the contents inside. There’s also some new color schemes, Gold, Blue, Violet, and Carbon.
The Jetboil Flash will available for purchase in Fall 2009.
Want to see the Jetboil Flash in action? I uploaded a clip to YouTube for all of you to drool over. Make sure to click the “watch in HD” link below the video.
OK, I’m having an absolute blast here in Salt Lake City! The OR Show is terrific, and it’s more like a big ‘ol party. I just got back from the OR Fashion Show, if you want to check out a few minutes of what’s going on then go to: http://qik.com/wahoo
I’ve got lots of HD video to post up as soon as I get a break from all the action!
That’s right, my friends. I’m at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport making my way out to the Winter Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City. So what’s this mean to you? Well, it means you can expect some video from the show, both here and on Qik, and lots of Twitter action.
Keep your eyes peeled for some posts from the show, some product reviews, and stuff like that.
See you at the show!
One of my favorite places to go and relax is Pass-a-Grille Beach. It’s at the southern end of Saint Petersburg Beach. I actually tried to get a little writing done, but instead I lost focus and ended up chasing birds around in the hopes that I could get some good video.
If you are looking for a good, laid back stretch of beach on the Gulf of Mexico, this is it. They have a weekend crafts market, lots of places to get a bite to eat, and four miles of white sand beaches with none of that spring break-style racket going on. For you fancy-pants people out there - the Don CeSar Resort is just a short walk up the beach.
I’ve got a video of Pass-a-Grille in HD on my YouTube channel, check it out here:

Man, I can’t get enough of kayaking right now. I’ve been taking short trips down the Withlacoochee, researching upcoming paddling locations, working on my skills, and thinking about taking a American Canoe Association certified instructor course.
Recently I received a CD from Kayaks and Beyond that is chock full of paddling pictures from the Ochlockonee River State Park, St. Marks, Wakulla River and Econfina Creek. The pictures were taken during the annual meeting of the Professional Paddlesports Industry Association that was held in Panama City. I’ll get these pictures resized and posted for all of you to drool over.
It snowed this morning! Snow, sleet - whatever. We don’t get much of either, so anything that collects and is icy white gets called snow. We’ve had a week or so of really strange weather! Video taken in Inverness, Florida with a Canon Powershot SD780 IS.
Mullet, manatees, Crevalle Jack - you can see so much aquatic life at the Fish Bowl. There’s both freshwater and saltwater fish here!
Just a little video of a rainy day at the Iron Bridge area in the Withlacoochee State Forest. I just sat there (rain jacket on, of course) and watched it rain for about an hour. Good stuff.
Check out these cats riding in the Vortex area of Santos on the Cross Florida Greenway. Me? I stuck with the Puppy Trail, thank you very much.
I got a chance to go up to the top of Bok Tower! Now, not every Tom, Dick, and Harry gets to go up there, you have to be somebody to gain access to this incredible structure. That said, I’m not too sure how I got in…

So I was stingy and never shared this video here with you, my loyal fans. It’s been sitting on my YouTube channel, but for some reason I didn’t post it here. Sorry, homeboys and homegirls, hopefully you will be nice and give me a pass this time, it won’t happen again.
We all know and faithfully [...]
