Thank you to everyone who came out for our October CannaVenture with The Honeybee Collective! This month’s hike was also our season finale for our seventh season, and I cannot thank you all enough for continuing to support outdoor cannabis events. As I joked with a few attendees, with Boulder hikes, you never know if…
Bong smokers rejoice; this bong’s for you! If you’re like many of us, you enjoy a nice rip out of a big bong from time to time. Bongs and water pipes are one of the more efficient methods of consuming cannabis (compared to pipes and joints/blunts), and pack a noticeably larger punch due to the…
As we have discussed before, one of the biggest challenges with outdoor cannabis use is portability and working within fire restrictions. Joints and blunts are ruled out when a fire ban is in place, making concentrates and vapes a great go to option for the trail. Vape cartridges are easy to store, easy to use…
Let’s face it: when it comes to storage, hash and heat just don’t mix. Concentrates get hot, they melt and shift in their jars, and end up all over the lid, wasting precious terps. If you’re like us and enjoy a good adventure into the outdoors, keeping your concentrates cold is a constant struggle. Whether…
I cannot tell you how excited I was to find a location for Discs-n-Dabs events that was within an hour of Denver and Boulder, even before I’d ever played it. Having the option of nearby courses for single day and special events makes it much easier for people to commit to coming out and playing…
This year, one of my goals was to prehike every CannaVenture hike close to when the actual event was taking place. My thought was that this would allow me to gauge trail conditions, check for closures, see what parking was like, as well as get a firsthand understanding of how much heavily trafficked the trails…
In between planning camping and hiking events, it’s often hard to find time to simply enjoy the outdoors without planing and running an event. When the opportunity to escape for a few days comes my way, I have a hard time saying no. So, in spite of all of the stress that is common leading…
It’s been more than ten years since I’ve been backpacking. That realization was shocking to someone who hikes and camps more often than most. It had been ten years since I’d fired up that backpacking stove, used a water purifier in a creek, or enjoyed waking up on the side of a mountain without a…
I’m taking full advantage of the nice weather we’re experiencing in Colorado. For the first time in a long time, I went hiking two days in a row this past weekend. That’s right, I spent two full days in the middle of the woods on mountains far from the distractions and obligations of day-to-day life….
The warm weather is finally here in Colorado. I know it snowed only a week ago, but I’m being optimistic that the sunny, 70-degree days are here to stay. In preparation for the next CannaVenture Hike, I decided to hit Mount Sanitas and make sure the trail hadn’t closed and that there were plenty of…
