Black Bear Stand Off



Hello! I am a 16-year-old Lowa fan from Southcentral Alaska.

I took these fantastic Lowa boots on my 30 mile backpacking Black Bear hunt this week and they were spectacular. I'm currently breaking them in for a Dall Sheep hunt this coming August.


During this hunt, I had to fend off a charging/aggressive mama Black Bear in the middle of the night. It was an intense 30 minute standoff, which eventually resulted in my slow retreat back to my campsite.

Seven unforgettable days, breath taking views and pristine powder as we tackle the ups and downs to Chamonix: 
Day 1: Make the 90 minute climb up to the Britannia hut 9,900 feet.Day 2: From the Britannia hut we make the 5 hour climb up to the Adler pass. Skiing the steeps down to Zermatt.Day 3: Hop on a cable car in Zermatt (5300 feet) with the cable-car to the Klein-Matterhorn (12,600 feet.) Head up to Breithorn (13,745 feet.) Lock in your skis and drop down to Schwarzsee (8,525 feet.) Finish the day with a 2-hour climb…

Brazilian Birds: Colorful and Diverse

Image
Walking in the Atlantic Forest we can see the richness of birds with different behaviors and colors. 



 It is one of the most important hotspots in the world. Beautiful waterfalls and rivers inside the forest.



Walking up and down the hills, my feet are comfortable wearing my LOWA boots and I can start over fresh, the next day, exploring new places.
