Sipping small-batch bourbon and bathed in campfire warmth while wrapped in a beautiful outdoor blanket sounds like the picture-perfect way to spend a weekend or a week. If you can do a bit of good to save the wild American countryside in the process, why wouldn’t you? A new adventure blanket from two of Utah’s finest brands aims to do just that.

Utah’s High West Distillery and eco-minded gear and apparel maker Coalatree have teamed up on a charitable initiative to create the Kachula Adventure Blanket. It’s a versatile, limited-edition offering designed as a go-anywhere outdoor blanket that converts into a travel pillow or even a poncho in a pinch. The printed side features a handsome, one-of-a-kind pattern inspired by traditional American Southwest tribal designs. Thanks to a durable shell made from 100% recycled materials, it’s rugged enough for fireside relaxing or camping under the stars.

With so many products tied to feel-good charity campaigns these days, it’s impossible to know where to put your money. This campaign, however, is a no-brainer. The sale of every Kachula Adventure Blanket benefits the American Prairie Reserve. This long-time partner of High West is a nonprofit organization that has worked since 2004 to build the largest nature reserve in the continental United States. The ultimate goal is to connect and preserve more than three million acres of the Northern Montana landscape as a refuge for wildlife and visitors. To understand just how massive the reserve will be, that’s the size of Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park combined.

This is American Prairie Reserve.

Both the collaboration and the blanket were heavily inspired by High West’s American Prairie Bourbon. The Park City distiller describes it as an aromatic and “complex blend of straight bourbons with rich, earthy flavors complemented by notes of vanilla and sweet cornbread.” All of which sounds ideally suited for a fireside tipple. As you might’ve guessed, the bourbon itself was named after American Prairie Reserve.

The Kachula Adventure Blanket is now available directly from HighWest.com for $83. The best part of the collaboration is that $30 from every blanket sale directly supports American Prairie Reserve’s conservation efforts. Buyers can bolster that donation by Instagramming themselves with the blanket and a bottle of whiskey. For every photo tagged with @DrinkHighWest, @Coalatree, and #WhiskeyWherever, High West will donate an additional $5. Drink bourbon, keep warm, and save some buffalo in the process. Sounds like a win-win-win to us.

Spokane is high luxury, but it's interconnected with the outdoors
View from the Numerica Sky Ride in Spokane

I've lived in Washington State for a couple of years now, but I'm still unpacking all of the great places to stay and visit. There's so much to do in the Evergreen state, and during my recent stay in Spokane, I can definitely say that there are a lot of high-end luxury experiences too. From high-end hotels like the Davenport Collection and eateries to some of the best wines in the state, you might be surprised to learn that Spokane is actually a top destination for nature lovers, too. Here's everything you need to know about the wilder side of Spokane and why you should consider coming here during your next vacation.
Outdoorsy things to do in downtown Spokane

This city is a particularly unique place because the town was built around the Spokane River. This is a gorgeous ribbon of blue that's full of waterfalls, eddies, and streams that wind their way through the city. The best place to see this is in downtown Spokane, specifically at the famous Riverfront Park.

Here's the world's #1 city for outdoor lovers
Rio de Janeiro

As an outdoor enthusiast, one of the top things I look for in a travel destination is proximity to the outdoors. I'm certainly not averse to pitching tents, but sometimes it's nice to mix in a bit of urban excitement to my travels. Sports Shoes, a UK running retail brand, just completed a study that analyzed the top urban areas for hikers on break. My personal favorite hiker-friendly city is Seattle, which squeaked in at number 12. The number one spot goes to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

The winner was decided through two primary variables: the number of hikes in the area and the average rating and reviews of those hikes. This was averaged out into a hikeability score out of 100, and the only one to get a perfect score was Rio de Janeiro. With a total of 334 hikes averaging a rating of 4.8 stars, this city is officially the world's number one urban area for hikers.

Many of the features and design elements in this one-of-a-kind, 28-foot travel trailer are classic Airstream. But it also features a few firsts. Most notable is the dual-purpose lounge/sleep area anchored by a pair of twin beds that convert to a king (the largest bed ever in an Airstream) with the push of a button. Exclusive bolster pillows, tailored slipcovers, and quilted coverlets round out the space. The front lounge also transforms seamlessly between dinette and desk as needed, making this a true live/play/work travel trailer. The entire interior is awash in daylight thanks to 29 total windows—more than any other Airstream in history.
