"I went on a bear tour in Homer, Alaska. We landed on a beach in a float plane and hiked out onto the beach. A mom and her 2 cubs approached us (clamming). We kneeled on the beach for an hour, until finally crawling away. Our guide said in 17 years, this was the closest she’d come to him. His guess was humans were safer for her to approach than the other male bears in the area since she had cubs. Rocked this adventure in my squak hoodie!" - Brittney

"Still relatively new to bikepacking, this was my 3rd trip and the first in the middle of winter in the desert. I bought my Squak for this trip, since I needed an active layer that would be good for warmth and layering at night, but wearable while riding. Can't say enough good things about this hoodie, now it's as much of a staple for me around town as it is out on an adventure." - Jack

"...On the last morning, we woke up to one of the rafts missing from the beach, our boat. My buddy had moved the boat up the beach and forgot to tie it off. It floated about 2 miles downriver with my hunting gear, life jackets, and extra food on it...One of the group's more agile members ran down the riverbank for his morning exercise and found the raft bobbing against some rocks. He came back with our life jackets, and we hopped onto other boats until we were reunited with our vessel...It was a great trip, one we hope to do again in a couple of years." - Geoff

"My wife, my daughter, and I went out for snowshoeing after a day of heavy snow. It just happened to be 4th anniversary of my dad’s passing, whose dream was to do something active like this with me and my siblings. He wasn’t able to do it with disability. The snowshoeing trip with my family reminded me of what my dad would’ve liked. It’s like carrying out his dream." - Harry

"First time going down to New River Gorge and exploring some cave systems there! Went with my besties (we’re all experienced cavers) & explored a few miles into a cave! Had many other cool adventures in the NRG area too!" - Tina

"Eli is 2.5 and it's his first season skiing. This picture was taken at Eldora. Our goal was to make the experience as fun as possible. This entailed cookies on the chairlift, monster trucks in the lodge and of course snowboard sled rides (because walking is so not fun)." - Derek

"After months and months of applying for the lottery, my husband and I finally won a permit to hike Angel’s Landing! Such a unique trail" - Bailey

"I had a morning of solo snowboarding and successfully did an ungroomed black diamond trail after the UP of Michigan got 2 feet of snow this past weekend! My quads are sore." - Emma

"...I don’t consider myself a risky person and learning to snowboard has proven to me that I can do anything I set my mind to. It’s helped me gain so much confidence! If you look closely, you’ll see me wearing my Squak as my favorite mid-layer! :-)" - Katie

"First time touring! Had an asthma attack or two but survived other than that." - Katie

"This was our first time down Hells Canyon! We rafted, sang, got rained on, had the coldest and the hottest conditions all in the same hour! This picture is us enjoying the coffee and the view!" - Allison

"This is a family trip to cross country ski at White Grass in West Virginia. This place is overflowing with joy, everyone so excited to be outside skiing up a little mountain - even though the wind chill was around -25F at the top!!" - Melissa

"My friends and I multi-pitched Big Slide in the Adirondacks for the first time! It was two pitches of sport and one of trad climbing. The climb topped out at the summit of Big Slide, and it was super exciting to do this for the first time after hearing about it a few years ago!" - Lillian Nelson
