About
What makes you come alive? What is that thing, that while doing it, you lose all awareness of time, your eyes light up and adrenaline courses through your bloodstream? You think, "I was made for this." Is it throwing on a pack and striking out down an unexplored trail? Maybe losing yourself in the serenity of dancing a dry-fly onto the quiet surface of a spring fed river, brimming with rainbow trout. Is it paddling your kayak into whitewater and letting it toss you over a 30 foot high falling wall? What about throwing yourself off the side of a mountain with a mountain board strapped to your feet? Maybe it's something no sane person would ever find the least bit fascinating but for you... Alive Adventure Gear is here because we get you. We know what you're talking about. So much so that we'd like to be your guide...your outfitter...in the sense that we want to equip you with the gear that brings your dream of adventure to life, but also to serve as a resource to help you discover who you were created to be...to discover what makes you come alive." So... tell us. That's right. We want to know. Send us a picture of you doing that thing...that thing you'd rather be doing than anything else...and maybe, just maybe, you'll find yourself on one of our t-shirts and the world will see what you were created for. (Just don't forget to e-mail and ask for our model release form, read it and sign it and include it with that picture.) What are you waiting for? Get up, get out and get going! You haven't left yet have you? Good, because I forgot something: We need your help. Help us build this thing. Pop us an e-mail and let us know what you think. Tell us how you spend your free days. Watch our blog to find out how we're spending ours. How can we equip you? What would you like to see on this site? What sort of equipment, information or resources would be helpful to you? Let us know. We can't wait to hear from you. Now you can go!

Quote of the Day

Pompous Pig
In the Chinese culture each year is given an animal affilliation. I decree this year to be the Year of the Pig. I love, looooove, good barbecue. In fact, as I've stated and overstated I am a barbecue snob. I'm on a never-ending quest for good smoked meat. I am usually …

Field Test
This would work so much better if I could imbed the pics with the text. Well, it is what it is. Most of you (all 3 of you who actually read this!) realize that I've been kind of obsessed with this idea of hiking the AT when Josiah graduates. I've actually …

Foothills Trail Intro
2 weeks ago we (Dana, Josiah, Brandon and myself) spent a couple of days hiking the Foothills Trail. I've not posted until now because I'm still holding out hope that Dana will take me up on my request that she do the blogging on this one. She's got "mad writing skills" …
