Gear Up and Play is activity based traveling in a Eco-conscious world.  This means we are big proponents of the “Leave no Trace” program.  We encourage our readers to reduce their impact upon the environment as you camp, hike, bike, climb, fish, paddle, snowboard and simply trek your way across the globe.  That said, whenever possible, we ask you offer a green spin on content when appropriate and possible.  Of Course, don’t force it, not everything will be about being green.  Sometimes it’s just about that awesome restaurant you had dinner at or how you found the cheapest flight.

Currently we are seeking content in these five broad categories.  If you are interested in writing something that does not seem to fall into any of these categories but you think is relevant to the overall theme of the blog feel free to offer a suggestion.

1. Travel – Write about travel tips, destinations, experiences, restaurants, hotels and all things travel.  We are really not picky here.  You can even blog your own vacation day by day.
2. Food and Culture – A exploration of culture through food, drink and traditions in the eyes of the curious traveler.
3. Outdoor Recreation - Kayaking, Cycling, Backpacking, Camping, Snowboarding, Climbing, Disc Golf, Fishing and all Outdoor related activities including travel experiences, guides, tips and suggestions.
4. Gear Spotlight -  Love that one piece of gear/equipment that you think it deserves mention.  Here’s the chance.  Point other travelers/adventures into the right pair of hiking boots or whatever the case may be.  Also great for mentioning new and innovative gear.
5. The Eco Path – Leave no Trace Program, Go Green, Travel Green, Green your Outdoor Sport, Green Living, Eco-Friendly, Sustainable Living and Eco Fashion.

Happy Blogging!
