Luck doesn’t exist
M and I have lived in some damn nice places over the past 13 years, but in the six days since we and our massive accompaniment of boxes rolled into Colorado I’ve had many more than the usual number of pinch me, I can’t believe we’re here moments. There was walking the border of Colorado…

Infant outdoor clothing
LB shown below in Patagonia Baggies jacket and pants, and Patagonia Micro D crew. If you’re going to do a bunch of outdoor stuff with your infant or toddler, it’s worth getting them some primo or near-premium outdoor clothing.

Lifestyle bullshit: Yeti Rambler 18oz
Yeti, the reigning king of lifestyle, is a good place to begin. Like Starbucks and Red Bull, Yeti created a broad market where none existed before, for something almost no one knew they might want. Like Red Bull, but unlike Starbucks, Yeti has grown and sustained themselves with social media content that is both entertaining…
