This website started as "My Life on Two Wheels," and as I progressed into different activities, I believe it is only fitting to give them the respect they deserve. With over 30 years of professional and recreational experience, I love being able to pass along information about great companies that fit into an outdoor lifestyle. I have hands-on experience with every product, service, and location I post here. Some companies send me products to test; others are products I buy that I feel can benefit my outdoor needs. However, it's not all about product or service reviews! You'll find information on different places to go, rides I have ridden, rivers I have floated, and my experiences at each. I'll show you how to get things done and on the cheap. You'll watch as I succeed and fail, laugh, and cry–but remember, it's about the adventure and the smile you come away with!
Thank you, Amanda, for putting up with my obsessed need to be free in the outdoors! You are the love of my life and will always be my 1st obsession!

Kayak Camping on the Peace River
Five guys, twenty-three miles, a little Captain and many stores! Not a bad way to spend a December weekend out and away from the city!
VSSL Flask & Flashlight
This is one of my favorite products that I have reviewed and the cool factor is off the charts. When I first got this flask, I was like “This thing is sweet!” Is it a Flashlight or a Flask? It goes both ways and can be used as either.
Video: Kayaking Through Tight Tunnels
Getting through tight tunnels. When going through small tight areas, caves or natural tunnels like the Mangrove, use only 1/2 your paddle like an oar. This makes it easy not to get all tangled up with a long paddle!
GoPro 5/6 Extended Battery
I have been asked many times how I am getting so much runtime out of my GoPro cameras, so I put together a post on how I get up to 4 hours of runtime w/o having to swap batteries.
Video: Kayaking Robinson Preserve
It was an excellent and relaxing day meeting a few new kayakers with the Kayak Explores & More Meetup Group from Sarasota, FL. Thanks guys for an awesome morning!
YOKARO Wireless TPMS – Epic Fail
The Epic Fail! No this system is not designed to stop blowouts – however it is designed to warn the drive when one does occur, but it didn’t! My truck/trailer setup allowed plenty of working distance between the brail and the furthermost sensors, just a tad over 19 feet.

Pepperoni Pizza Chaffles
Chaffles are a quick cooked egg and cheese batter made on a mini waffle maker that forms the basis for dozens of inspiration for meals and desserts!
QuadraPro Solar Charger & Power Bank
Review: You pull out your iPhone to check your Instagram and Facebook accounts, and you see the dreaded RED BATTERY! “No, not now, I still have that awesome selfie that HAS to make it online TONIGHT or no one will believe I made it to the top!” you scream at the top of your lungs.

Last Ride before Leaving Colorado (Buckhorn, Cpt. Jacks, Gold Camp)

3014 was one of four Rio Grande GP30s to receive the billboard lettering. 3001, 3002, 3014, and 3027 are the four units that received the Stacked Rio Grande. 3016, 3017, 3019, and 3021 had the small flying Rio Grande lettering, but it was placed higher in the knuckle latches. The remaining 20 GP30s were retired with the small flying Rio Grande lettering.
This great-looking photo of the Rio Grande GP30 3014 is in the small town of Widow Creek (just north of Sargents up Marshall Pass) on March 21, 1989, bringing up a small load of freight for the locals.

Today we will show you a truly primal cooking technique - roasting the Whole Chicken Under a Bucket! This recipe was used long before modern cooking utensils were available, so it is really simple and yet incredibly delicious. Our juicy, tender chicken is just irresistible!

I snuck over the border to Little Rock, Arkansas, to spend the weekend. I didn`t feel like grilling or cleaning up and found a place called Raduno Brick Oven & Barroom. This place is definitely on my list to visit again the next time I`m back. The food was fantastic, as well as the service!
