Together with Filson and Foss Media, we present the remarkable story of one man’s quest to live a full life.
In 2007, on a fateful February day, in the remote Northern Wisconsin woods, a solo independent logger named Gary Edinger severed his left leg off while felling a tree. Twenty miles from help, alone, and in forty below temperatures, Gary summoned a remarkable willpower and crawled to his pickup, then drove to safety.

Photographer, Charlotte Gane, discovers the beauty of winter in the Gorge.
Recently I moved to Portland, Oregon. After a stressful week, I decided to wander the Columbia River Gorge. Sometimes photography can be a distraction that keeps you from being fully present in the moment. It’s a fun challenge for me to try to be fully aware while also capturing images that are in my mind.

Lately I’ve been finding myself in the mountains more and more... Of all the places to choose from in Washington, I always find myself roaming around Olympic National Park.

Chris Zimmerman shares four easy tips on how to enjoy Fern Canyon.
Slowly carved from the sandstone bluffs by Home Creek, with 50 foot fern-lined walls, and nearly constant dripping precipitation from the forest floor above, it’s no wonder Steven Spielberg chose Fern Canyon as a shooting location for Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Perched on a rugged summit, overlooking the Cascade range, Charley Zheng reflects on life without screens from the 5000 foot viewpoint of a fire lookout
We so often get swept in the tow of busyness, of plans and tasks, meetings and chores; all between flurries of text messages and e-mails we somehow never find the time to respond to. Modern life is spent inside of screens. And while the world that exists within screens is large and abundant, without trees and isolation, you lose mystery.

Melissa Laree Cunningham carves out a few moments of peace on the Oregon Coast.
4:00am. In a small century-old house, tucked into one of the avenues in Northeast Portland, I wake to the glow of a screen sitting beside the bed. Early morning blue light has always been my favorite. But in this moment, there is only black. Blood pumps quicker with the chiming of the alarm and the realization that in half an hour, I will be driving highway 26 out to the coast with my kindred sister, Lindsey.
