Paragliding: A Mexico City climber discovers a faster way to conquer 18,000-foot volcanoes by combining summit mountaineering with solo paragliding descents, even sleeping in a hypoxic chamber to make it home the same day. When Adrian’s wife thought it would be a good idea to learn how to Paraglide, she probably didn’t foresee that in a relatively short amount of time, her husband would be summiting and flying solo off volcanoes near their home in Mexico City.Obviously, Adrian took to the sport quickly and it gave him a completely different view of his other favorite hobby, climbing. But with their recent family addition of a little girl and limited time off work, Adrian needed a way to summit mountains over 18,000 feet and return home in the same day. This led him to sleeping in a hypoxic chamber to decrease the amount of time needed to acclimate to high elevation. Talk about dedication to adventure. What’s your excuse? Adrian will also be supporting Marko Hrgetic in the Red Bull X-Alps this June.www.instagram.com/ponchoelpiloto@ponchoelpilotohttp://youtube.com/ponchoelpiloto Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.

Cycling: A cancer survivor and heart transplant recipient rides a bicycle across the country to meet the family of his organ donor in a deeply personal tribute to the gift of life. Sometimes life hits you hard. Sometimes life hits you hard multiple time in a row. For Mike Cohen, he knows the feeling all too well. From surviving cancer to a heart transplant, not a day goes by that Mike isn't completely grateful for his ability to be alive. That's why this fall he'll be riding a bicycle across the country to meet the family of the man who he received his heart from. He knows that life is too precious, too fragile, and too interesting to not completely appreciate it and make the most of it.  Follow his journey here:Mrmikecohen.comInstagram @mrmikecohenSave 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.

He has led expeditions on five continents, climbed mountains all over the world and is the only living person to have both flown and sailed solo across the Atlantic.After realizing he doesn’t love talking about the gear and “stuff” of expeditions and adventures, he was curious as to why adventure called him so strongly to do these trips.

RV Living: A family of five trades debt and possessions for full-time life on the road, building businesses and chasing ultramarathons from the comfort of their rolling home. When Caleb sold his previous business, Bearded Brothers, his wife, Kristy, had the crazy idea of being debt free and living in an RV full-time. Everyone around them thought they were nuts! Nearly 4 years into their journey, a lot of the people who called them crazy are now jealous of their freedom, lack of “stuff”, and ability to go where the wind takes them. Caleb and Kristy are both small business owners who are able to operate their businesses out of the compact dwelling space. They have no end their adventure in sight but admit that RV living with three kids and running businesses absolutely has its unique challenges, but it’s a tradeoff compared with a normal route in life.Caleb is also an avid ultrarunner, taking the home and family to races all over the country. Instead of having to go to a stale hotel room after a long race, he can walk right into his house. Pretty cool!https://www.instagram.com/freedomintow/https://www.instagram.com/hemp_daddys/?hl=enhttps://hempdaddys.com/http://www.freedomintow.comSave 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel (@peakrefuel).

Bigfoot Hunting: Laura Krantz on Wild Thing Podcast – Skeptic Discovers Family Tie to Researcher Grover Krantz, Explores Rational Believers (Professors, Rangers, Officers), Lore and Reality of Sasquatch in Season 1.“There’s no way Bigfoot could be real......at least that’s what I thought.”Laura Krantz is a self-described skeptic. However, several years ago she read an article about Grover Krantz, an anthropology profession and Bigfoot researcher. She thought it odd they shared last names. After more digging, she was surprised to discover that Grover was a cousin to her grandfather. She had to learn more about this mysterious world of folks who believe in the creature but aren’t “crazy”. What she found was fascinating. These aren’t tin hat wearing antisocial hermits in the forest. They are professors, teachers, forest rangers, and police officers that all had undeniably strange encounters with a creature which they never thought they’d believe in. Laura, a former NPR producer, documented her journey which she turned into Wild Thing, a podcast about the lore and reality of who or what Bigfoot really is and her quest to know more about the folks who search for it.
