Our weekly rundown on the latest in the outdoor adventure lifestyle
Video Capture: Viewfinder
In this viewfinder, Chris Collard takes us through the ins and outs of video capture. He outlines the differences between still motion photos and video, and gives you the tools you need to be successful in animating your adventures. By going through techniques like panning, time-lapse, tracking, point of view and much more, Collard delivers an in-depth look at video capture.
Adventurous spirits like to push boundaries. We were the kids jumping off the armrest of the sofa at 2 ½ years old or sliding down the stairs in our sleeping bags mimicking the thrill of a roller coaster at age 10. We are the ones who started camping at a young age with Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts and, as we got older, still like to push boundaries—this time getting out further to explore the world around us. Exploring the East Coast brought us the opportunity to meet Jason Specht. He traveled to Overland Challenge in Uwharrie, North Carolina, with his son in their 2020 Toyota Tacoma with one of the first stateside Alu-Cab Canopy Campers.
Road trips are the best when you’ve got company. Someone to sing along to your latest playlist or play “I spy” games with while driving down the highway makes a trip better. And depending on where you’re traveling to or how long you’ll be gone, having enough storage for all your gear is key. A roof cargo box is an easy solution. For those without a platform roof rack and looking to add some extra storage up top, Rhino-Rack offers solutions.
Tern’s Quick Haul P9 is a built-to-last compact e-bike that’s ready to tackle your daily grind and in our case, our campsite duties. Think of the Quick Haul as the Swiss army knife of e-bikes. It is small and compact, yet capable of taking on big tasks without issue. Campground coordination, especially when trying to organize a large group, can be an exhaustive event. Walking from the cabin to the lake’s edge and all the way back to the trailhead to find and gather the kids (and adults that may as well be kids) sure is tiring work. For those times and many others, a compact electric bike can be a lifesaver.
