Hostelio What is a Hostel ?

This is my first post and i would enjoy to compose a few sentences regarding hostels. Hostels are a splendid approach to see the world on a budget. From the cheapest to the more grand there is something to accommodate every liking and budget. The important thing regarding hostels is that tons of university students flock to them because they are cheap and joy so there is continuously lots of student travelers around to party with! In generally every other… Continue

Chris Emery Avalanches plague North America mountains

You know its a bad winter for avalanches when the New York Times puts it on their front page (or homepage at least, I haven't seen the actual paper yet). http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/09/sports/othersports/09avalanche.html?_r=1&hp Continue

Chris Emery My first 10k

I'm a casual runner at best, and currently a bit out of shape, but Eric Brooks goaded me into running my first 10k this week. Six of us ran the Chevy Chase Turkey Chase in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thanksgiving morning. I got smoked by Eric and Jimmy Blakeney -- both members of StrayRocket. They came in in the low 40s. I ran it in just over 50 min… Continue

Nicholas How Nature Saved My Life

I'm new to this whole StrayRocket thing...I know, kinda cliche, right? Anyways, one of my Facebook friends and co-founder of Stray Rocket got me started on this. Didn't really talk to him, just found this link and decided to join. Anyways, I guess this should more appropriately be a short bio, but you can decide for yourself. I am 19 years old, (20 on November 3) and have been participating in outdoor activities since I was 6 months, yes MONTHS, old. That leaves me with 19 1/2 yrs of outdoor ex… Continue

cramerika climate change and gravity sports

So the link between boating and climate protection is pretty easy -- shorter winters = less winter snowpack = less western water in the summer. Yeah, I know that there was plenty of snowpack this year, but the overall climate trend isn't looking so great at the moment. The same thing plays out for ice climbing in a pretty obvious manner. what's less obvious is that if there are hotter, drier summers and more fires, pretty much every other outdoor pursuit gets screwed too (mountain biking, rock… Continue

Chris Emery Why getting the crap kicked out of you is funny, sometimes

I usually have one of two reactions when I'm stuck in a big river hole while kayaking, or crash when snowboarding, or peel off a rock face: panic or laughter. Either I fear for life and limb or I find the situation thoroughly amusing. The panic part makes sense. But laughter?… Continue
