Some people would call it crazy. Maybe they’re right.  Getting up at 5 a.m. to fish in freezing temps in January is slightly insane.  I really have no idea how cold it was, but a quick glimpse at the historical temps put it at 3.2 degrees (F).  The website I looked at didn’t include a wind-chill factor, but in the summer, wind gusts rip through South Park, Colorado at an average of 25 plus, mph!  I think its safe to say, it was cold.  Bitter cold. There was a truck that stopped and talked to my boyfriend when we were gearing up, “You are really going to fish in this weather?“ When I stepped around the truck their eyes grew big, “There is a woman out here fishing in these temps!” You betcha!

My eyelashes froze, as did the corners of my eyes...

We love this photo from Hannah in Montana.

For the first time in human history, more people live in cities than in rural environments. Instead of inhabiting wide open spaces, we spend 90 percent of our time indoors.

The urban migration has important physical, mental and cognitive implications. Check out this infographic on the big disconnect happening between our health and the environment.

Whether or not you realize it, you’ve likely watched a video captured by a GoPro camera.

The lightweight and durable little cameras have gained popularity because they catch the action in ways your typical home video camera can’t. Outdoor filmmakers have figured out how to attach the GoPro camera to guns or fishing poles to get point-of-view videos – but now GoPro has introduced its own mount specifically for sportsmen and women.

From the website: Mount your GoPro to guns, fishing rods and bows. This versatile mount is compatible with most shotguns1, rifles, revolvers, airsoft, paintball and pellet guns, and fits bow components and fishing rod grips with a diameter of 0.4” to 0.9” (10mm to 23mm)...
