‘Durable Person’ Trip… 48 Hours Of True Adventure In Oregon Outback

‘Durable Person’ Trip… 48 Hours Of True Adventure In Oregon Outback

This past weekend we spent 48 hours in Oregon in search of adventure with our “Durable Person” project winner, Christian Franken, and his son, James.

Highlines, lava tubes, big desert buttes, 50+ miles of mountain biking, fields of lava, forests, and hospitality from GearJunkie contributors and friends Jason and Chelsey Magness of the YogaSlackers group (who arranged a crazy wilderness race and a weekend full of adventure) all were a part of the fun.

Thanks to CORDURA® Brand for supporting our project, including a contest that asked people to send in their “most durable” outdoor photos for a chance to win the trip and gear. Here are some highlights from our 48 hours with these “durable people” in the field. —Stephen Regenold
