The Shorts: Onward and Updward
There's an art to moving forward—knowing when to dig deep, when to let go, and when to find a different way. Crewing her dad at Colorado's Hardrock 100 has become a family tradition for Katy Stockton. After years of cheering from the sidelines, she paces him in the final segments, learning the delicate art of delivering just the right encouragement to keep him moving. Amber Reese spent years running from routine and responsibility, chasing thrills at any cost. She paid her debts with broken bones and titanium bolts, and kept charging, until an accident forced her to recalibrate her relationship with gravity in the outdoors.

Good Good Bad: Goth Babe
For Griff Washburn, aka Goth Babe, the pull of the outdoors can sometimes feel at odds with his life as an indie rock star. But on a recent solo kayaking trip in the Tongass National Forest, he began to lean into this connection between the two parts of him. The result? One very special EP, a short film, and a renewed calling to protect our public lands.

Tales of Terror Vol. 17

Endangered Spaces: Ambler Road, AK
In October of 2025, the Trump administration green lit the Ambler Road in Alaska, a proposed mining access road that would cut through 211 miles of pristine Alaskan wilderness in the Brooks Range, crossing over 3,000 waterways and could forever change access to subsistence resources in Northwest Alaska. In collaboration with More Than Just Parks, the Dirtbag Diaries presents a two part story. Karmen Monigold and John Gaedeke each rely on the southern Brooks Range for their livelihood and have joined a grassroots effort to fight back against the Ambler Road. A pair of young conservationists, Robert Lester and Ben Kaden set out to walk the proposed Ambler Road and experience the wilderness first hand. Protect the Kobuk and Defend Brooks Range are groups that oppose the Ambler Road. Ambler Road Comment Period: Open through Nov 2, 2026 More Info Support comes from Oboz Hike Your Hike!

All Hands On Deck
When Somira Sao and James Burwick were expecting their first child, they made a vow not to stop traveling-- and they took that promise to the extreme. In 2009, after two years of living in a van traveling around South America, they took their growing family and moved onto a 40' monohull sailboat. Four years later, they had navigated a de-masting off the coast of Chile, sailed around the globe, added more kids to the mix, and created a unique philosophy on adventure parenting.

The Shorts: Grizzlies and Rubber Bands
We never know where our life’s important lessons will come from. After years of chasing first ascents in the PNW Cascade mountain, Cam Fenton stumbles upon a new focus for his mountain exploits: grizzly bears. For Emma Brophy, collecting red rubber bands while on a 600 mile river trip down the Thelon River in Canada becomes a reminder of how far she’s traveled.

Mark Kenyon: Save Public Lands
