Sanborn Canoe Co.
It seems like Sanborn Canoe has been coming up a lot lately…I keep running into their paddles and other gear on some of my favorite blogs – which is how I found the video below. I was surprised at how in depth they shared their process in this video. It’s long, but I found it well worth the view.
I have a canoe that would look a hell of a lot nicer with some Sanborn paddles. For now I may have to settle for a Sanborn patch and a mug, but one of these days…

Bidder 70
Today, on Earth Day, Tim DeChristopher will be released from prison, where he has been for nearly two years. In 2008, DeChristopher attended an auction to sell off land leases for oil and gas development, himself bidding and winning leases for 14 parcels of land totaling $1.8 million.
It soon became clear that DeChristopher had no intention to pay, and that he had just initiated one of the most creative and effective campaigns in the history of activism. There is a new film about DeChristopher, Bidder 70. Check out the trailer below. And check out Peaceful Uprising.

John Muir Project
I just caught an inspiring short video over at the John Muir Project, which documents a group of artists spending the summer hiking along the John Muir Trail. Definitely an amazing part of the world…

What the Tree Remembers…
“What the tree remembers, the axe forgets.” I love this line from the new short film of the same name, a Dark Rye (an online magazine for Whole Foods Market) production featuring Best Made.
I am sure most of you are familiar with Best Made by this point. It seems like when I first came across Best Made, they were simply making some of the sweetest axes around, but now, they have put together a collection of gear that truly constitutes a kind of ideal wish list for me, or any one else that feels at home in the woods. I just picked up the Muir book with the patch (“Less is Muir” – I love it) for a friend for Christmas. I hope I am a good enough person to part with the patch when it arrives…

DamNation Trailer
I missed this over the summer, but Felt Soul Media has posted a trailer for the upcoming film DamNation, a look at the history of dams in the U.S. and the current momentum to remove obsolete dams throughout the country. Directed by Ben Knight and Travis Rummel (of Felt Soul Media, and directors of the Pebble Mine doc Red Gold) and produced in conjunction with Stoecker Ecological, I am really looking forward to this one.

This is Oregon
I recently stumbled on a collaborative project called This is Oregon. Shwood Eyewear and photographer Julian Bialowas teamed up to create an inspiring series of photos and the video below. Check it out…
No matter where you live, adventure is much closer than you think. New experiences, unknown surroundings, and exciting opportunities are just waiting to be discovered. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of motivation and knowing where to start.
We’ve traveled to ten locations within a 90-minute drive from downtown Portland, Oregon to showcase the awe-inspiring landscapes that are waiting to be explored. From highway pull-offs to backcountry overnighters, and sun-baked coastlines to snowy mountainsides, there is something for everyone, everywhere.
At each location we captured a featured photograph and paired it with an interactive 360 degree panorama and Google map to help you find your way. Hopefully these destinations will light the fire for you to look beyond and explore the endless beauty waiting outside your door.

A Day in the Life – WLL
Another short film from Whole Larder Love and Commoner Films in support of Rohan’s recently released book. This one and the Smokehouse film have such great vibes – I especially like the soundtrack in each. Have a look…
