Americans tend to place a premium on overseas travel—it’s as though you haven’t actually been anywhere until you’ve crossed an ocean. But there is something important, exciting and nearly patriotic about the American road trip which cannot be overlooked. Until you can explore the country yourself, keep an eye on One Trip Pass—they’re exploring it for all of us.

Searching for vintage surf photography online is a surefire way to lose a few hours of your day. Few things encapsulate an entire lifestyle quite like those grainy shots from the 60s and 70s do—it’s a really good-looking rabbit hole to fall down.

Wind is a funny thing. It’s incredibly powerful—destructive, even—but it’s not really there. It’s invisible, nonexistent until it rallies around you, ushering your lapels up to your chin and rearranging your hair as it sees fit.

Without fail, if I happen upon Dick Proenneke’s Alone In The Wilderness while flipping through the channels, I’ll stop and watch. There is something so fascinating about the resourcefulness and utter calm he displays, day in and day out, during his time spent in the Alaskan wilderness. And watching him build a door hinge completely by hand is a uniquely humbling experience. If you haven’t yet, you must watch.

After being unexpectedly laid off, Kolby Kirk took it upon himself to use his newfound freedom to hike as much of the Pacific Crest Trail as he could. Over 1,700 miles later, he considered his task accomplished. On that journey, he filled over 850 pages of Moleskine journals—they offer a truly inspiring window into his voyage, and prove the ability of a journal to keep the past alive. A must see.

Yabusame is a form of equestrian archery first adopted by 12th century Samurai warriors; three targets are aligned, and the archer fires at each in quick succession, all while steering a galloping horse with nothing but his knees. I’m willing to bet that getting a bull’s eye here takes just a bit more focus than in your average barroom dart game.
