GORP

That’s a Boy Scout term. It stands for “Good Ol’ Raisins and Peanuts,” which is the minimum you need for trail mix. The key to a good mix is balance. You want sweet and salty, crunchy and soft. Beyond that, it’s whatever you like to munch on. When I make mine, I use mixed nuts, raisins, M&Ms, dried strawberries, and sesame sticks. It’s a good blend that keeps my energy up without weighing me down.

August 31 is National Trail Mix Day, so throw your favorite munchies into a bag and get outdoors!

1. Be Original

There’s still a lot of wilderness out there. Go get lost in it! (Metaphorically.)

2. Chain Driven

Mountain biking is a great workout while you get to where you’re going.

3. Gravity? What Gravity?

My biggest takeaway from a year of rock climbing was that free climbers are crazy.

4. Boots on the Ground

It’s nice to get away from everything on occasion.

5. Lat/Long

Geocaching combines the best of hiking, orienteering, and puzzle solving.
