About Me
I've been in love with the outdoors for nearly 20 years. Specifically, I have been mountain biking and snowboarding since '94. Unfortunately, I grew up in NJ where the outdoors consisted mostly of the woods behind my house or down the road. A few years ago, I finally pursued my dream and moved out to the Rockies. I've bounced around CO and UT and never looked back--the opportunity for outdoor sports and incredible mountain scenery has definitely grounded me.
In addition to the aforementioned sports, I'm always looking for new thrills and hope to try snowkiting, extended backpacking treks and whitewater kayaking sometime soon. One day maybe I'll be independently wealthy and have the time and money necessary to get into all the sweet sports out there. Until then, I'll keep planning day trips and getting out there whenever possible.
Having a venue to write about it regularly is pretty sweet too.

Eton makes some pretty killer multifunctional emergency radios. The latest to its collection is the Scorpion, which Eton describes as a "solar-powered, all-terrain, multi-functional unit. Sounds good so far. The Scorpion looks a little more rugged than some of Eton's other radios and includes a carabiner clip for strapping onto a backpack. Radio-wise it includes NOAA weather bands and a digital radio tuner. For those days when everything is just fine, it offers an...
Champion Supersuit Insulates While Drastically Cutting Bulk

I still associate Champion with the hooded sweatshirts that were all the rage back when I was strolling the hallways of the sixth grade, but apparently the company makes some pretty mean outdoor gear too. One of the major unveils at the Outdoor Retailer, the Champion Supersuit is a breakthrough in serious winter expedition gear. Touted as the “the thinnest extreme weather suit ever developed", the Supersuit is a functional shell that is extremely thin...

Deb, good to hear from you and glad your snowshoes are coming along. I definitely liked the idea and would love to give them a try. Please drop me an email at chris@uncooped.com and we can set it up.
Chris - you wrote a nice blog about my Collapsible Snowshoes after last year's OR Winter Market. I have refined the design and have a short run under production. I'd like to send you a pair to try if you are interested and might consider writing about them again. They should be available in early January. Please let me know if/where I can send you a pair. I am very grateful for your blog and support!
