At the end of that list is medical doctor. And the director of the Soft Power Health Clinic in Uganda. She is a career shape shifter who followed her passions and ended up in an unexpected place. How do you know when it’s time to step out of the current and follow an alternative path? Trevor Clark traveled to Uganda to tell Jessie’s story.

5 Types of B.O.

You’re out camping for a few days, maybe more. Free from the hygienic shackles of society, you sniff and think, “I’m good.” Brendan Leonard’s been there. He’ll go multiple days without a shower, because one isn’t readily available, or he doesn’t want to find the soap buried in his car. It’s gotten bad. Really bad. Brendan breaks down the B.O. levels. What’s your rank?

This week we continue the show from Steve’s Guitars in downtown Carbondale, CO. Photographer Ben Moon presents his story about overcoming cancer, the community that rose up to support him and his thoughts on fear. Veteran alpine climber Mark Richey recounts the incident that almost took his climbing partner’s life during their ascent of Sasser Kangri II. Colorful language included.

And of course, we said, “Yes!” We invited four people up on stage to to talk about a moment in their lives when it all seemed to go wrong. And where those moments have led them, as the effects have rippled through their lives. Today we present the first two stories. At 23, free skier Josh Dueck overshot the landing of a jump and fell 100 feet out of the air. He returned to skiing the following winter in a sit ski. And he rips! You owe it to yourself to watch The Freedom Chair and Josh hucking a backflip.
Kayaker Chris Korbulic was nearing the end of a 7-week trip through central Africa with Ben Stookesberry and Hendri Coetzee. After paddling the difficult stretch of the Lacuga River, a crocodile pulled Hendri underwater. The film Kadoma (full version available on iTunes) tells the story of their trip. Chris has continued to return to Africa pursuing the rivers that brought him together with Hendri.

Getting out the door some mornings is a process, but always worth it for schussing downhill. But could I pedal there? Sure, maybe. Would I? Umm, I’ll take the 5th. Fred Sproat knows he would. Last spring, Fred and his friend Sam pedaled 630 miles from Eugene, OR to the heart of the Sierra. Their mission was to ski couloirs by truly earning their turns and challenging the status quo of how we feed our backcountry addictions.
