Friday Faves: Bears, Bikes and Backcountry Booze

They say a picture is worth a thousand words… Yeah, yeah, it’s cliche and all. But it’s true. So here are a few of the visuals that we loved this week:

The International League of Conservation Photographers kicked off their Great Bear Rainforest RAVE this week, and if you like wildlife, Canada, spirit bears and kicking oil industry’s ass, you should be following along on the iLCP blog.

It’s easy to get down on the global state of affairs… which is why this little gem came in quite handy, reminding us that riding our bikes really is the better choice!

Since it’s a three day weekend, we figured we’d also give a little shout out to one of our favorite things: wine in the backcountry! (Let it be known that the Osprey pack, Innate Doppio and bag ‘o wine are a killer combo). Seriously though, you should get off your couch, find a pretty mountain lake, and celebrate the fact that you don’t have to go to work on Monday! If you need some inspiration for this weekend’s adventures check out this list of 5 Camping Cocktails That Will Blow Your Socks Off or Backpacker’s Top 10 List (which includes the “Under the Sleeping Bag”).

Happy Friday!
