What if you could chew your coffee? Does that sound like a stupid idea? Maybe. Maybe not.
I love coffee and I love the outdoors, so I'm always looking for the best portable coffee for hiking, skiing, and backpacking. I picked up a free sample of Dry Brew at a Spartan Race and decided to give it a try. They call it a cup of coffee in a single bite. One chew has 65mg of caffeine - about the same as a small cup of coffee. The first ingredient is actually coffee, which is a good sign. It's small, portable, fits in your pocket, and doesn't require any equipment.

I pull out my old thermos to explain - and tell the story of the time I got hypothermic. Trust me, it's related.

Daylight savings hit and suddenly it's pitch black at 5pm. But I didn't want to give up on my walking habit. Six weeks ago I made a commitment: 25 miles a week. That's about 3 miles on weekdays and 5 on weekends. Before I had a desk job, that would happen by accident. Now I have to be intentional about it.
In this video I share the simple gear that keeps me walking after dark - a rechargeable headlamp with a rear flashing light, a cheap reflective vest, and a 16-pound weighted vest for when I want to turn a walk into a workout. Walking has been helping me clear the stress of the day, listen to podcasts and audiobooks, and just feel better overall. Movement and thinking are really good for the brain. What I use: • Rechargeable headlamp with red rear light BioLite 800 Pro • Lightweight reflective vest • 16 lb weighted vest |
What is this?I switched from outdoor work to a corporate job, and sometimes the desk life feels soul-crushing. This channel is me figuring out how to keep life interesting. Archives
