Another of my favorite blogs, the Adventure Blog has posted an ESPN video about an amazing mountaineering expedition in the 1960s which was actually a spy mission gone wrong. It’s so wild it’s almost too crazy to have been made up. The US government denies this of course, but the climbers on the expedition have come out and a book has now been written about the events.

One of my favorite bands is Iron and Wine. I know, I know, you too…. Well, so they don’t quite have the same fanbase as an Aerosmith or a Dave Matthews Band. But they are pretty good mellow music when you just want to chill out. Plus Sam Beam, 
the lead singer has grown his hair out, and is ready to play Jesus in the Christmas play this year. Or so it seems.
Check out the single they’ve released on their myspace page from the upcoming album.

I just read over at FeedTheHabit.com about the new MSR HyperFlow Water Filter. Apparently this thing is kick-ass. I have an MSR MiniWorks and it is extremely reliable… but… I have to pump it like a thousand times to get a Nalgene of water. Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather pump than be barfing my intestines up all night, but it is alot of work.
The claim on this new model is that it only takes 20-30 pumps to get a liter… well kick my patootie and call me Sharon…. I like the sound of that!
Of course we missed the Outdoor Retailer trade show. I was out wandering South America, and Emile and Lynn were working hard here. But maybe someday. Until then we’ll keep you up to date on the coolest stuff that came out of the Outdoor Retailer show by referring you to other great blogs like FeedTheHabit.com .
