Since I was a child I’ve gone adventuring on my red BMX bicycle with the family dog to explore houses in suburbia under construction, unfinished buildings, and loped across city parks to picnic in overgrown graveyards. Our trusty dog has passed on and my bicycle is a green Schwinn cruiser, but every season brings fresh delights to discover in the city I love.

I love hopping off the skytrain and just wandering and exploring places that i’ve never been to before.

Because I started to play Ingress and to explore the city to hack the existing portals and to create new.

Because its more fun outside.

I’m a urban adventurer because it’s cheap fun, I live in Chicago, and it helps me learn some new things about my surroundings that I can’t fully experience without moving about.

Because I live and love exploring Washington, DC now, but will be moving overseas next year, for even more urban adventures!

I just like it…

Because you have to get out and explore to live a full life.

I find all the crevices

I like the night life. I like to boogie.

In just a few hours you get under the skin of the city you’re visiting - so you know it like a local when just take the time to explore! In fact many of locals see their own city in a different way when seek new avenues that they never appreciated or have ever given thought to!

So whether it’s your first time, or your hundredth, an Urban Adventure will open up a whole new dimension on many of your favourite cities around the world.

I like to explore downtown while running. Never know what you might find in the alleys and roadways.

Im not trying to be the most interesting person, but I have two dogs and I like to go hiking. It has been too cold to take them out for long periods of time but they recently got sweaters to keep them warm. I dont have anything that will keep me warm without completely burning up. These would be perfect!

Like, Jordan above it’s Chicago where tough people deal with tough weather.

My Son-in-law loves TAD and I see him wearing it everytime he leaves the house on a new adventure downtown.

My husband trains and explores all over the city and I want him to look nice (and be warm) while he’s in the thick of his urban playground.

I am an architect, working at the university in Aachen, Germany. As a five-year-project, we are mapping the public spaces of the city – urban adventuring at its best!

As a psychologist with a field-capable clinical team, my duties involve community treatment of people with severe and chronic mental illness. As such, I spend my days and far too many of my nights traversing the urban landscape of downtown Los Angeles. Most of my patients are so ill, both physically and psychologically, that they are unable to make it to my clinic, so I venture into the urban jungle to find them. The complex nature of mental illness results in me taking on the role of both detective and hunter within the city, tracking people who do not want to be found and who are experts at staying off the grid. I follow their trails through back ally ways to soup kitchens to below freeway overpasses, going where I must and doing what is necessary to help. I am an urban adventurer.

It’s Chicago. Enough said!

I run every morning in downtown Fayetteville, AR and would love to have some TAD Gear!

‘cause wild is where you are.

Drinking wine on rooftops, taking photos in abandoned buildings, riding bikes from the top of Queens to Coney!

Because I’d make this stuff look really good.

Dai! Che bello maglione! What Beautiful Hoodie!

I am the real urbaner because I always walk to work. And i like bushcrafting with tad gear

I work for the US gov’t in Manila, a city of 12 million souls. HAVE YOU SEEN The Bourne Legacy? it rains every day here and I alternate between a fixie and my motorcycle in what is undeniably the most congested city in the world. Unlike Jeremy Renner, I don’t have a stunt double. Please rent the movie then send me the hoodie.

I am an urban adventurer because I grew up being taught to always explore things to there fullest. I have traveled up and down the east coast extensively and all the way out west and have always made an effort to get the gear out and explore the local sights without a guide. This has made me see some of the most amazing sights over my 28 years! Because of this, I am an urban adventurer!

To find the ones that cannot be seen..

A few months back i broke my achilles during SPECOPS selections, then short after i lost my home and my girlfriend. Yesterday my car burned down to the ground… Hard life? I’m trying to turn it all around and stay positive.. I could really need the positive feeling of winning right now! :)

Adventurer: We think of the dark reaches of jungles, the desolate landscapes shrouded in a blanket of white, the ebb & flow of rising waves of desert sand … I Explore the Urban Jungle & Landscape … Hidden in the shadows & empty areas lies unexplored territory … History mixes with modern … The quest for that perfect cup of coffee & falafel has me jumping, climbing, running, my head on a constant swivel, taking the sights & sounds … Every step into alleys & crosswalks is an adventure … I Am the Urban Explorer … … …

Because I live by the words of William Faulkner, “One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure!” I read that quote by him in high school, and I have decided never to back down. That is why I am an Urban Adventurer!

Nice presents ;)

i take long walks and i’m visually curious. I notice everything - my eyes have a will of their own - my feet just takes them everywhere.

I am THE Urban Adventurer because I know all the corners of my city. Where I can find what I need to survive longer than the others. I am out every night learning more. People come to me when they want to know. I also keep others healthy and safe from what goes Bump in the night.

Ill be completely honest. The reason Im an Urban adventurist is because I have PTSD from being on deployments. I know I know your probably thinking “WHAT THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT!?” well here it is. I did a deployment in Iraq and one in Afghanistan and to be honest no matter who you are things you see will effect you. I was infantry in the Marine Corps and this is verifiable if it needs to be but Ive been through somethings and well weither it be me exploring the city and its hidden wonders or me taking advantage of nature and its wonders there are somethings that remind me of all the world has to offer and it calms me down completely to the point I basically have a release and no longer think about things that sometimes take over my head. I know this post might…well probably wont win but I figured I would post it anyways just in case someone that reads it happens to be in the same boat as me. It might give them something to try out and help them just as much as its helped me

living in the tropical Singapore requires navigation skill, flexibliity, and guts of an adventurer!!

Because a man needs to be outside. I just feel better when I get out there and do man stuff.

because staying in is simply not an option.

…because I’m cute! I go wherever Hello Kitty would dare!

I’m an urban adventurer because it’s deep in the heart of the urban landscapes that you find the best food!

Grew up in San Francisco… snuff said.

i long for abandoned buildings and clandestine tunnels below a sleeping city…

I have been re-located to Japan. I battle hordes of zombies in my morning commute on the train. I engage in treasure hunting for the most delicious food. My journeys take me from sweltering heat to freezing cold and everything in between. I aspire to fish in the sea of Japan and stand atop Mt. Fuji. All of these must be done with the right gear, looking good, and my lovely wife’s approval.

I’m an urban adventurer because- I’m always ready to accept changes in my circumstances, adapt and respond; I can step back and appreciate the stories of life that unfold infront of me. That’s what having adventures is.

My favorite is when I’m out and about in the city and I spot someone who needs some help, a car that stalled, a lost visitor or anything else really and then I try to assist them.

The other day I found a lizard that was injured sitting on an electrical box. I wore a pair of disposable gloves I carry for first aid situations and placed the lizard on a branch where it would be out of reach of predators so it can recuperate. I don’t know if the guy made it but I did what I could and that’s sort of an adventure.

Because I’d rather walk downtown than bus it. And I enjoy the sights.

A caver, backpacker, diver and cave diver, but I live in the city. I’m always looking for the next adventure even if its to a new part of town or the abandoned warehouse in the industrial parks.

… because it is always an adventure with me and my kids - in the city, in the woods, on the mountains.

PDX thuggin’

I am a urban adventurer because I live in the Bay Area, it’s an adventure everyday. Especially when I go to the city.

Hmmmmmm…… Urban adventurer…..chasing kids inside & out, standing guard the street while they play, run down to the store milk & such, get any type of workout in when I can (gym, garage, sprints). I’m cold-adapting…. I have no time to put on and take off “puffy jackets” when my 3 year old breaks out the backdoor to catch up with his big brother & i don’t believe in warming and the car in the morning. I like the minimalist approach that gets the job done.

I walk to work! :P

Whether on my bike or on our feet, my 3 year old son and I love to explore our town as well as all the sights in Pittsburgh. Each visit brings on new experiences and memories and with the weather in western PA being crazy unpredictable there’s nothing like have such versatile apparel.

If I were to hitch a ride on NASA’s “vomit comet,” I would test the Space Pen upside down and write a note to the space pen company and possibly confirm that it works upside down in zero G.

I just found the NOTCOT site through triple aught designs: very cool. We are a family of urban and not so urban adventurers. We live in Western Maryland on a farm but Mom commutes to DC. We love TAD Gear and own a lot of their very well designed and just plain cool gear. Thanks for the chance. It would be a great Christmas present for my son!

22 years later and having lived up and down the east coast, I’ve found my way to the Bay Area by way of my chosen profession as a Coast Guardsman. My job has instilled in me an appreciation for technical wear and yours, gentleman, is top-notch. Cheers.

What the hell is an urban adventurer? I’m just a dude that likes to be comfortable and stylish wherever I am. City, country, suburbs, who cares? Form and function are my mantra. TAD gear = awesome. Nuff said.

It’s in my blood!

urban adventurer is my middle name

I travel all over the Middle East as a Contractor and TAD gear goes everywhere with me. Forever TAD, TAD forever.

I’m an urban adventurer because I can’t always get way from it during the week!

because i am a combat survivalist based at Raaf base Amberley, Brisbane and one thing about Brisbane is that its is a alot of places to discover and TAD gear it the best for urban or bash

Walking two 90lb dogs every day is an adventure in itself

Down the street or atop Machu Picchu….Tad Gear is the right kit! Thanks NotCot
Derek Rader

Because I live in Los Angeles, the city at the heart Raymond Chandler’s work, the man who wrote “The story is the man’s adventure in search of a hidden truth, and it would be no adventure if it did not happen to a man fit for adventure.” I work in Watts and the heart of Compton, in skyscrapers in Downtown, in the studios of Hollywood, the smut peddlers in the Valley and every dark corner in between. Every day I work in Los Angeles is an urban adventure for me.

night runs and leaving the phone at home and get crazy lost

I live in Michigan - nuff!

I would love to win some TAD gear to use on my adventures in Japan and around Asia!

Urban Adventure is a state of mind. It guides you through abandonments, new construction, irrigation canals closed buildings. But it’s not the place you go, so much as the spirit that gets you out there. The want, the desire to see more, to see the things that you always see but in a different way. That spirit of discovery has wrought a world with no new oceans to explore, but a million ways to bring a sense of wonder to what many consider mundane.

I go from downtown Dallas to the Texas hill country on the reg, TAD had always been there for me!

because I love to travel around the world and go to new places. I like to travel off the beaten path, and for that I always have my gears wrapped in TAD stuff (Litespeed) myself included (ranger hoodie). I always treat everyday as a new adventure. Especially if you live in Indonesia where traffic is crazy and unforgiving for a cyclist…
Gimme the gear already!! Hahahaha

If you call working anywhere from Fort Hancock TX. to the NM-AZ line along the border Urban, will I qualify. On call 24/7 365 I defiantly need quality gear that way I can concentrate all my efforts to keep the illegal and unwanted out.

I’ve been training all over the Northwestern US and Southwest of Canada to get ready for bigger races this summer, haven’t been tracking the miles, but most days we are doing better than 8mi days rucked up through cities.

Because the above items would help keep me warm and stylish, while I fight my way through hoards of zombies when the outbreak starts! also the patch would represent Caddy my zombie fighting Chocolate Lab who will always be by my side!

I’m an urban adventurer because I love walking through my city trying to find something new and interesting. Also i like to support my local companies and build healthy relationship within my community.

Because the best restaurants in my neighborhood don’t have any parking (and I just like around the city)

I am an urban adventurer because I boldly go in a manor in which no man has gone before.

I am a teacher in a high school
Of 2500 students!! It’s always a jungle!! Enough said! I win!!

I’ve urban adventured rocking TAD gear all over Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East. Exploring industrial US to thousand year old ruins in Cairo.

Whether I’m knocking around town, or visiting my old haunts in the West Village like Strand or McSorley’s, my Triple Aught Design gear keeps my urban adventure on track, and in style.

Because sometimes the outdoors isn’t enough!

I’m a urban adventurer because I am.
Happy Holidays!

i work in the Vancouver film industry. so i spent 15 hours a day in the streets, alleys, parks, forests, quarries, industrial areas, high-rise rooftops and and everywhere in between, getting to explore all over the lower mainland. no matter the weather conditions we keep working, and my TAD gear has been up to that challenge.

5 things to never forget when you go out of your house : light, knife, keys, fire and cash … with that you go where you want …

I’m a urban adventurer even though I live in the state capital of Missouri! Population 30,000. I teach at the local high school of more than 2500 students. We have a very diverse group of students. Everyday is a adventure…need I say more??!!

I’m an urban adventurer because the city is where all the action happens!!!

Nothing urban about where I live, but I am always in for the adventure

I’m a LEO who try to keep an active outdoor live as far as he can, so I find a first quality gear as Triple Aught Design’s is esential.
Best wishes from the Austrian mountains where I am actively testing it! :-)))

I like to walk. In the woods. In the city. At the beach. Why am I an urban explorer? I like to do and see things I never done or seen before. The perfect getaway for me is to leave it all behind for two or three days. Kiss the family goodbye and head out alone. Switch off the digital interaction for a while, just to see and talk to real people, but more often not talk so much at all. Just soak up a new place. Take the train to a new city, check in at a cheap hotel. And walk. Watch people. Be out all night and meet the sunrise from a new place. Eat all the different street food. Take some pictures perhaps, but it can be to much like work sometimes. Find some geocaches. Find some abandoned places for some real UE and imagine what it used to be like. Check out some weird museums and off-the-beaten-path tourist attractions. Do whatever comes to mind at whatever pace I like.

For this you need gear. Less is better, so it must be just the right items. When you find them you’ll know. Then you want to hang on to them for a long time. They become friends. So they need to be simple. Functional. Timeless. Triple Aught Design’s stuff is just that and that Flux hoodie would be a perfect match for my black TAD Litespeed backpack. Please give it to me.

I’m hitting every major city all over the world, walking every Main Street and alleyway.

because i am a Bomb tech in the Us Army and its cold in Kentucky i need more jackets only have a ranger hoodie

I’m an urban adventurer cause I ride my bike in Los Angeles everyday, navigating the floods of horribly unaware drivers. Quite the adventure.

I’m a urban adventurer because, I live in a concrete jungle, I work in a concrete jungle & I play in a concrete jungle. I’m from Singapore,

I´m an urbal adventurer, because I “survived ” 3,5 years on Wngerooge, the smalles island in the German ocean, without (nearly) an mentally/physically damage…

It’s impossible for me not to urban explore living in the mile high city wearing TAD! I’m equally outfitted for the mountains, TAD a perfect balance of urban and outdoors and will be put to good use if I win!

Because my work, lifestyle, and pursuits take me from patrols through neighborhoods in far away lands in the middle of the night, to city escapades with my lovely gal.

Audaces Fortuna Iuvat

In okease!

I’m an urban adventurer because it gets cold, and sometimes we can’t find a cab to take us home quickly enough.

I spend my weekends wandering the city to find new destinations.

…because zombies don’t kill themselves, and I need to look good and stay comfy doing it.

I hunt bad guys for a living in the Nation’s Capitol. I once headbutted a guys nose off( literally), and I have a really sweet handlebar mustasche that I’ve been growing for the last two years.

I’m an urban adventurer because life is an adventure and I’m going for the ride.

…because I survived hurricane Sandy in NYC and worked weeks straight to get the electricity back on….

I would wear it around the property and on every airplane i could as i see the world. I would also pass it down to my son in my will. This stuff is bomb proof. It will last that long.

I’m an “urban adventurer by midnight 12/25.” Frankly, I’m an urban adventurer most of the time. But I’ll _definately_ be one by midnight 12/25.

it’s always exciting to explore new places and discover little treasures in a city you’ve lived all your life. you get stuck in your daily routine and see the same things over and over again, but once you take a road not taken, it opens up a whole new world to discovery. you come upon small shopping streets that you would swear shouldn’t be there, or try new food that puzzles your tongue. that’s why it’s called an adventure.

Every day is an urban adventure in the damp, mossy environs of Portland, Oregon.

I would love this kit to got with my other TAD Gear. Always keeps you warm and dry with style!

I work from home all week long so it is an adventure everytime I head into the city!

When you have a 2 year old little girl, everything you do is an urban adventure. From climbing stairs, to sliding down handrails, looking at birds, and sharing the greatest moments that cannot be bought.

I’m an urban adventurer out of necessity. Every day presents unknown situations.

Either in the mountains of CO or in the concrete jungle of NY. TAD is always there to keep you warm.

Like everything in life there is always a new frontier to explore. In this day in age the ever expanding frontier of the concrete jungle merits exploration by all those willing to conquer it. To enjoy the many cultures and all of the hidden gems that every city has.

I am an urban adventurer because I instruct marines on CQB in an urban terrain.

Like few, I never TAD; Take a Day off. I always leave my home with at least one piece of TAD Gear. You never know what adventure you may run into next.

When going for a run or walk in the Pacific Northwest, you’ll have to dodge cars, truck, trains, dogs, etc…Why not do it fashionably?

My best urban adventure, employed at an aviation company,graveyards alone, at a certain point everything slows to a halt,the night gets still and silent almost except for the wind ,the sound of the snow and the odd coyotes and at a certain moment everything takes on a magical quality when the night creatures are asleep and the day creatures haven’t woken up yet.

i have recently become an urban adventurer out of necessity. i have spent the past two months surviving in my post-Sandy severely damaged home within a dangerous urban setting. with no heat and poor ventilation, i was forced to relocate my wife & two sons, while i remain behind, to guard our possessions from scavengers & explore the newly devastated post-apocalypticesque urban districts while awaiting federal assistance.

Once I surfaced in an unexplored neighborhood in Montreal which had no line of sight to the mountain and therefore had to orienteer by compass. As luck would have it, I happened to have one at the time.

I am an urban adventurer who seeks the wonderful history hidden in plain sight such as streetcar barns converted into shopping stores, other unique and interesting urban artifacts. Photographing people and places around town makes for an urban adventure of the greatest kind.

I am an urban adventurer because it teaches me to move through my city. As an EMT, you get the chance to see all parts of the city from the vehicle perspective, the rest of it comes on foot. Know your city, know your area. Have fun! Watch out for the transvestite hookers on Central…

cuz I set up a tiger pit on my neighbor’s jogging route ;)

1. I do not use any umbrella even in a heavy rain. Instead, I just wear one of my hoodies. It is all I need in rain. 2. After I work overnight, I take a nap under my desk at work, covering my head with the hood. It is like camping at work! 3. I enjoy traveling city by city at breaks, usually by bus. I should be aware of any possible accident by human beings, but it is fun!

Urban Adventurer? Oh yes, but more like an Urban Ninja…wait did I just write that? You don’t even see me.

Living in Seattle you have to dodge the rain A LOT. Why not do it in RAD TAD gear?? I bust secret moves all ovah Seattle’s Urban plexities…but I don’t dodge the rain, the rain dodges ME.

This gear would just enhance my effectiveness.

Gimmie gimmie!

Going for a run, dodging pedestrians, and even the insane drivers sometimes.

I am an urban adventurer because that is where I live.

Because I am Bond. James Bond

I’m an urban adventurer because I venture through a city every weekend.

I definitely think this would be great for those nights when I just enjoying wandering around the city or during runs early in the morning. The addition of the pen just means I can actually take notes on the things that I see.

…because I’m Batman… Not really, but it doesn’t hurt to dress like him.

I’ve done a lot of walking in my day, pounding the pavement long after I got a car. While it’s not the fastest or easiest of methods it is the one that allows me to really observe what’s going on around me whether in the city, in the suburbs, or in the wild. That’s the enjoyment we all need to take more time with. Sometimes you can only see the best when you take it a little slow.

I ride my bike, run, and rock climb throughout the year. Rain, snow, or sun, I’m always up to something active. It’s a life style.

I live in a very rural area, so when I have the opportunity to travel to a city I do my best to experience it all. The people, the food, the microcosms of culture in each different part of the city; all of it is a rush, and not something I get to experience as much as I’d like. Traveling by foot is usually my favorite, though public transportation can be great for the occasional spontaneous dance party in a train station or an eccentric couple on the bus. My favorite city to travel to is Chicago, and having a new layer of wool to wear next time sure would make it a more comfortable trip!

TAD gear is the best if you need the perfect combination of utility and modern styling. I’ve used their stuff everywhere from the city to the Sierras and every single thread has stood the test.

Always exploring wherever you go. Pioneering the unknown.

What can I say? I’m a University Student with an insatiable curiosity. Not only do I patrol my campus in conjunction with the local police department, but on my off days I go wherever in search of something cool or weird.

I’ve been wearing the same TAD Ranger hoodie day in day out since my second deployment back in ‘08. It’s an awesome piece of performance clothing and I still get coompliments on it. I can’t think of a better way to semi-retire her than getting my paws on a new Flux hoodie!

I live in the city, and frequently am out and about shopping, going to concerts, the mall, Waterfire in downtown Providence, or out to eat at different restaurants. When I’m not in deadlock traffic, or in crowds of people, I’m either cycling, at the range, trekking up the side of a mountain somewhere, or wandering aimlessly in the woods. TAD makes some awesome gear to accomplish any of these activities.

A little concrete can’t slow down my next adventure!

London night bus, nuff said

I am the ultimate urban adventurer. I joined the USAF a few years ago. Was stationed in the UK and traveled all over the European area when i was stationed there. Been to places like Holland, Iceland, Romania, France, and the list goes on. After that I got stationed in Las Vegas and started to adopt and outdoors man mentality to go with growing up in the city of Boston. I explored the city at a young age and know the city like the back of my hand now. I make it a personal goal of every major city i go to, that i would walk anywhere i could and explore things on foot for better memory the next time i would be around. I’ve been an avid collector of TAD Gear for a long time now( you can ask them yourself) and have ordered from them plenty of times before. I recently started building up my real outdoor exploring gear while still retaining my urban mentality. So yea i would be the perfect candidate for the gear and would make good use of everything.

I’m definitely an Urban Adventurer. I work in the city and I need to be up for any challenge. I have to be ready for whatever comes my way so I take what I need to make it through the day and this giveaway will help me accomplish this.

Because of reasons…
It is awesome of course!

TAD is perfect for folks like me that want gear that transitions seamlessly from urban, to woods, to mountain, and beyond.

Fit, form, but most of all function.

“why you’re an urban adventurer” Because Patrick of Triple Aught Design made me one.

Because its perfect for not so cold night walking around the city or beach. Specially here in seal beach,california.

Oooooohhhh, sure could keep me toasty warm here in Frosty WI!!!!!

Best USA made outdoor gear period. These would make my winter an enjoyable one for sure.

The Flux would make an awesome layer under my stealth hoodie while I explore on those cold days.

Why I’m urban adventurer? I analyze and understand what’s going ‘round me in military and engineering aspects (however strange that sounds). I’m tryin’ to be ready for acting in critical situations. But all that is not an answer to given question though. I do a lot of combined biking (urban + cross country), often in hard conditions. Sometimes it leads to extreme things happenin’. Recently I also tend to go round town at strange hours that alone is some kind of adventure (like helping a friend to stitch him up with standard thread and needle, without help of EMS :P ). As a person that before enrolling to university used to live on suburbs of small city with lot of green areas and now living in big gray city, I try to find new adventures without need to go whoever-knows-how-many-kilometers off home. I generally would consider myself as an adventurous and extreme person. I’m currently tryin’ to switch my casual clothing from mil-spec to something what would look elegant yet be functional. Funny fact is that I was lookin’ for TAD’s official distributor in Poland in order to get some nice lookin’ gear but haven’t found one (I would also have some problems with prices of their gear but I believe in rule that quality costs).

Btw: great thanks for TAD for being here. With their help I’ve found this site which makes me think “It should be my check-daily site I see”.

Because its a concrete jungle out there!

Having just been RIF’ed from my job of 16+ years, I anticipate having lots of time to explore the streets, parks, nooks and crannies of unban San Francisco. “opportunity only knocks once, but karma will hunt you down” :-)

Adventure is every where. When exploring a city or urban ruin it is fun to appreciate the hidden places that are often over looked. The urban, abandoned complex brings a whole new dynamic to the meaning of adventure. I have been in many run down buildings and can have the same excitement as climbing a peak or crawling into a cavern. Thanks for the opportunity to win some awesomeness from TAD.

Tad gear makes the ultimate urban and outdoor adventure gear that easily transitions between the two.

TAD Gear is amazing! It is light, warm, and durable which is exactly what I need on my urban adventures.

I like to think that if there are two options for getting to your goal, by foot (/bike) or by car, bus etc. one should use the more challenging way by going on foot. Rather than taking the car or bus etc. You discovere lot more by wandering on foot. Getting lost time to time isn’t eather a bad thing, that’s how you can get your urban adventures. Be brave, get lost!

I’m a sheep dog living in the city, using this place to thrive-

i’m an urban adventurer because we hit the city to go out every week wearing only tad gear to protect us from the harsh climate in the chilly seasons. we go to the gym every night no matter the weather we actually drove to the gym in 3 feet of snow one time :) when we hit our own personal range to target practice both me and my wife and now my little sister rock our tad gear.

the style comfort and quality make our tad gear a clear choice when tackling not only every day mundane chores that everyone does in life but, even when we go out on our own personal joy ops at night in the great city of philadelphia. our interests such as shooting city nightlife traveling to find our new home in the rugged mountains of vt. which we will soon be hiking and camping shooting and 4x4 driving on every chance we get!

all of this may not seem at first glance unique but, we have become a house full of folks interested in function quality and style we are both city kids at heart but, are looking for our new home in the rugged mountains of the great northeast kingdom. i’m sure our tad gear will exceed our expectations in the harsh climate of vt. and still be good to go when we come home to see family and friends in the city.

so whether i win this sweet little pot of tad gear awesomeness or not i want to say thanks for making a great product tad! literally both me and my wife kristen absolutely adore everything we have ever bought from you guys. we are always wearing at least one piece of your gear at any given time.

TAD Gear keeps me warm and protected wether hiking through the woods, or out for a run on the trails, their products are top notch!

Because that is how I roll :)

I love TAD. What an awesome Xmas present! The hoodie and scarf would be so useful when I attending my kids outdoor swim meets in the winter.

I love trekking all over the city of SF

I am stationed in a smaller town now, but when I was on Camp Pendleton in California, with no car to call my own, the heel-toe express was my friends and I’s primary form of transportation. Be it trips to Oceanside or long hauls down to San Diego, we were always on our feet. While I can’t complain about the life I live now, there are times where I miss wondering the cityscape…

From teaching martial arts to wilderness survival, construction work to month long overland expeditions. My clothes get put through the ringer. One day its rock climbing the next its bow drill fires. I tech my students to defend themselves in real life situations and there’s nothing like durable clothes that move with you while you do it!

I’m an urban adventurer because I love running through the downtown areas of my city.

I absolutely love traveling and exploring different cities around the world and around the US. The best adventures are the unplanned encounters and trips that happen in these cities.I am planning a trip to China soon and these would be great to wear while exploring Beijing, Shanghai, and Lhasa! Thanks for the chance!

I like to explore the elaborate drainage tunnels in my city with friends. We think of it as urban spelunking.

WOWZA Tad … my favorite company ! Give a German urban explorer a chance to win … :-) Happy XMas btw. !

I am a student at san jose state university, and am forced to traverse this concrete jungle every damn day. I must constantly be in the shadows to avoid gang members and crackheads, and this is impossible without the hoodie. When the see me they always scream “ill get you next time, I remember your face!” (After I whoop there ass when they try to rob me). So i need a nice scarf that I can simply hide my identity with!!! Once I make it to class, a pen will come in handy to write with. And the patch you may ask? That will be worn with pride everyday to let the do-gooders know im a do-gooder too.

I have two small boys, and they have the habit of turning everything into an urban adventure. Be it checking out the sidewalk for future chalk attacks, scoping out bugs, or finding new things to climb on and give me gray hair.

Some of my most fond memories are from exploring urban environments, from Chicago to San Fran, to Salvador Brazil, and everywhere in between.

Because a 1997 BMW F650ST is the best way to explore the urban jungle of Hampton Roads.

being versatile enough to work or play in the city with clothing that is both stylish as it is functional.

I have to be an urban adventurer, I live in NYC and my dog is a natural explorer. We walk all over the city looking for new and unknown areas.

I’m an urban adventurer because TAD Gear is in my closet! With their gear, what else could I be?!

…because my city is just as adventureous as the wilderness. aside from my outdoor-trips, I live there for almost 40 years…and I´m still there. =)

Because I live in the northern most modern city in the US, Fairbanks, AK. I still ride my bike to work in the snow with -40 degrees weather and some of the largest moose in the world running around town. When I was a kid I explored the large open drainage pipes.

I am an adventurer not just urban. I’ll take to the streets or the winding suburban roads on my motorcycle, or go hiking on one of the many local trails and ski hills. The lower mainland in BC offers one of the widest varieties of activities that i know. This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes ” A woman is like a teabag, you never know how strong she is until she is in hot water” Eleanor Roosevelt.

Love being outside, whether it is in the forest or in the urban jungle.

Total honesty, Most urban adventuring I do is pulling for questionable crack at the pub.

Adventure is what you make of it, and nobody runs more exciting errands than I do. Christmas shopping at the last minute? Challenge accepted.

Every day is an urban adventure in California, I’m always exploring the streets of LA and Orange County. I carry my TAD gear Litespeed with me everywhere…and these items would be the perfect to keep me warm while looking tadical. I would love to spend more time with my girlfriend in San Francisco, Seattle, New York City, and Washington, D.C.

Because it pays to understand your environment (supplies, escape routes, observation posts, choke points), especially in the case of the pending zombie apocalypse.

Why? Because I can.

I am an urban adventurer because I am a Photographer. I’m constantly looking to photograph the things most people never take the time to notice in new and creative ways to make them notice. Adventure doesn’t begin until everything has gone wrong and often when photographing outdoors in major urban areas nothing will go right.

Avid explorer in the city streets for awesome food and art!

I am an aspiring urban adventurer that usually takes midnight trains!

I have been working in the urban environment for 15 years and the gear you put on has got to be the best

I am a father of 4. 3 boys and a girl from ages 6 to 4 months. I live in Orange County California. I can’t of think of anything more adventurous and more urban than raising 4 kids in the heart of southern California!

Dammit, typo in the email address… So once again, the bitter cold of the concrete canyons of Toronto, battling down sidewalks and subway stations, cycling through traffic or dashing across streets. All in the name of finding interesting corners of the city, whether it be a restaurant, bar, museum or concert, and all that without mentioning braving the dating scene.

As a police officer in the city everyday is an urban adventure!

I am an urban adventurer because I have to drag around enough to be prepared to help my kids and wife at any time.

Lets be honest, Urban Adventuring is taking the trash out or grabbing the paper. No one is exploring buildings because thats called trespassing, and no one needs a sweater in jail.

I’m a student and an explorer, both my work and play is in the sprawl of the city.

I love exploring, whether it be urban jungles, literal jungles, or mountain peaks. One of the first things I like to do whenever I get to a new area is try to get lost. I have yet to succeed, as I have always found my way back. In my experience this is the best way to find unique points of interest that you won’t hear about from brochures or Google maps. Great way to stumble across a cozy side-street cafe/pub or a secluded waterfall. Regardless of the terrain or population,TAD Gear is always part of my wardrobe. Highly functional in the wilderness and remarkably stylish in the city. I love my TAD Gear.

An urban adventurer? Well between battling through hordes of angry commuters in the subways and braving the bitter winter cold on the packed streets of Toronto, there are the bicycle trips through traffic and exploring the cities museums, restaurants and just the various neighbourhoods looking for a great photo to take, dive bar to experience or just some splash of urban life to fill an afternoon or evening. All that, and I haven’t even mentioned the dating scene.

What a prize pack!!! That would be an awesome Christmas gift!

Because one must conquer both the the concrete jungle, as well as the natural one to become a well rounded individual. They are in essence the two halves of the brain so one must master the other to gain optimal control over both.

Walk 1.5 miles to/from work every day in Texas after my morning runs. Durable and comfortable gear makes all the difference heading home after midnight against the winter winds.

I am an urban adventurer because I run the kids all over the place and what better way then in a warm and easy way

I am an urban adventurer because I maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn, and ridicule on a daily basis in the urban jungle, and on occasion, I must run toward gunfire rather than away from it.

I’m an urban adventurer as I live in one of the worst affected areas of last year’s London riots.

It’s an adventure. Kind of. Sorta.

I am an urban adventurer because I live in the country.

Living and working in the DC area is always an adventure! Also, my monthly drive up the coast for AF Reserve drill never fails to be an adventure of its own…

Living in the Pacific Northwest is an everlasting adventure. Hiking, skiing, snow-shoeing, extreme cross-training, we do it all. This gear would be positively useful in the my adventures, playtime, and commutes to and from work. Make me a winner!

Because I am bringing up 4 boys and bucking the system of non-stop sports games and practices. When my kids are 18 they will have seen all Nebraska’s state parks and a majority of the national parks. I am hoping those memories will last a lot longer then some $0.50 participation medal.

I travel 200 days a year,Father of 2 with one on the way. Hiker, fixed gear fanatic. Could use some good gear for once

So I live in Denver, and me and my friends are pretty big into the denver punk and ska scene, so we’re always going to shows. But, when we’re not going to shows we pretty much just find ourselves exploring Denver, trying to find the best street art, or the best abondonned buildings. Throug out the coarse of our many adventures we’ve ruined many cheaper clothes, so I have bought some TAD, and that is the best stuff around, and have yet to kill it (I’ve had a stealth hoodie for about 4 years). Also when we have a weekend when no one’s working we will head out to the mountains to have some adventures of a less urban variety.

I love TAD gear. Regardless of the terrain being city, forest or stream, the gear just works.

I am a firefighter, a father and an urban adventurer. Whenever I leave my house with my kids or my crew I have to be ready for what the day will bring, And I must always be prepared.

Everyone who lives in Oakland is an urban adventurer :~)

I would consider myself an urban adventurer with family in Houston, Chicago, Philly and NYC. We constantly are visiting and exploring for the best food around town or a perfect place to take the next photo for our wall. This gear would also help because I’m a nuclear operator that spends the better part of my 12 hour shift exposed to the elements. In other words, I will more then get my use out of the gear. If I win, I will provide you with a picture on top of stone mountain in Georgia, that is my next planned adventure, I will finish up he adventure searching for microbreweries in Atlanta. Thanks for the opportunity for such sick gear.

As we reach further into the depths of our digital world we forget the places upon which our physical world is built. The lost underground is no playground, but it does offer adventure and intrigue for the intrepid soul. I like to find the secrets buried in the dark.

Why am I an urban adventurer? That’s simple… to truly test your outdoor skills you need to be in difficult environments. The urban environment is one of the most challenging because it can be ever changing. All successful organisms, had to adapt and overcome at the critical junctures of life and the urban setting changes constantly in form, function, use, population densities, seasonal affects, etc… Urban LIfe, Adapt or die! Sua Sponte!

I train, play, and work in the urban environment

I work at a 93 acre zoo in the middle of a large urban city. This gear would be put to great use both at work, out and about in the city, and in the event of a natural or man-made disaster where I would have to make the 45 mile trek home on foot or bicycle. Also, the zoo has some great areas to take awesome photos of some high quality TAD Gear! =D

I could sum my outdoor philosophy with a quote of J. Nehru:
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

Because running around NY in the winter between buildings in dumbo can get chilly!

i only come out at midnight

Because sometimes doing the right thing means you are up to no good

I live in the desert, if I didn’t go on adventures it would be a dry boring place.

living and working in the DC everyday is an adventure.

Living in a city with a population of 300,000+ means there isn’t much else to do. However, my adventures into older parts of town are almost always to look for some not so commonly known hole-in-the-wall food stalls serving up amazing local fare, which can only be found when you’re on foot.

TAD Gear is amazing! I commute by foot daily here in Toronto, every day in year with my wonderful dog, Izu (seen here - http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8188/8150803418_caeecc78f1_b.jpg). I also love to adventure in the woods by hiking!

Me and my oldest boy enjoy walking through town often. Don’t want to be stuck indoors when we can’t get to Turkey Run.

I love to use TAD gear and other good stuff when i do volunteer rescue & fireman jobs. For me it’s mayby the best thing in my life, the knowledge and practised skils mayby can save someone someday.

I do have now TAD fast pack, hardshell jacket and space pen in every day use ;)

Adventure: For some it’s a new pair of underwear, a different route to work or a new pizza topping. For other’s it’s a life threatening outdoor experience that makes life worth living. The experience usually involves loss of digits, limbs, friends or all of the above.

I enjoy the unique lifestyle of the city by night, as well as in the day time. Living in a cultures urban environment allows for me to see new things every day or night, making life more interesting.

In the city you need the toughest gear to survive the urban jungle.

As I teacher at an urban high school I feel that there might not be a more “adventurous” job around!! Seriously, love my TAD jacket and feel that the scarf would match wonderfully. The TAD pen would come in handy for writing hall passes and detention slips.
C St Clair

Because making it one day to another is an adventure enough

I’m an urban adventurer because while living in a city I try to experience as much as I can. Everyday can be an adventure if you allow it to be. The gear I carry is secondary, but helpful in that pursuit, but being an adventurer is a mindset.

I rock the urban life - when not working long hours indoors I’m rushing to the gym for judo & bjj sessions, pounding the pavements of NYC, supporting public transportation and bombing through city traffic on my ‘06 Bonneville. And then I spend the next several months as a global traveler half-way round the world - carving the Himalayan backroads on my Enfield Bullet, visiting old monasteries, mountains & valleys, and spending time with my family. I think I’m a good candidate for this package, will put it to full use and even give you detailed feedback - please let the chosen one be me :) Thank you and Season’s Greetings!

Because lifes too short not to be.

LA is such a huge place. You could spend a lifetime trying to get to know it and it still wouldn’t be enough time. Everything changes so fast, within months the “old spot” is a “new place.” It’s an adventure and new experience everyday just living here. Adventure is exciting because of new discoveries and the dangers of the unknown,you’ll find both in this urban jungle. The rush to find out what is out there is what drives me to explore this place everyday.

I feed the homeless in NYC and came to know a few of these men well. They take me into their world and show me how they live in the cold. There are amazing areas in NYC that haven’t seen the light of day for years. They are true Urban adventurers.

Because 3 hours of daily commute is always an adventure!

Because I enjoy the thrill!

Urban adventure is as exciting and rewarding as outdoor adventure and TAD Gear enables explorers to take on both environments. There is nothing quite like navigating human-designed terrain; sometimes it is exceptionally difficult! I am an urban adventurer for the thrill of discovering new places.

I live in an amazing city that brings together the best in urban spaces and natural elements. I love exploring where I live and discovering the people that you encounter along the way!

I’m still trying to find Splinter and The TMNT

Exploring the urban wilderness is one of my favorite things to do. Being prepared means knowing your surroundings, routes and local settings. TAD Gear rocks!

Because San Francisco is where all the good shopping is!

I love getting out in all weather even in the city and going for an “urban hike” just to check out things and areas that haven’t yet seen

I love getting out in all weather even in the city and going for an “urban hike” just to check out things and areas that haven’t yet seen

TAD makes incredible products. I would to to add this stuff to my small TAD collection!!

It’s a jungle out there, a concrete jungle that is. My gear helps me find my way through!

Merry Christmas guys!

E

There is nothing that makes me feel so alive so human so from this planet then to get out and explore what mother earth has install for us. Explore what humanity’s past and present generations have left for us to see and be apart of. It’s almost like I’m connecting somehow with what men and women have been doing since the dawn of human life on the great planet. Harvey a Merry Christmas and a happy New Years, I’ll see y’all in the great expanse that we call life. Stay safe and remember watch your sixes.

No greater adventure than facing the most deadly infectious agents mankind has known on a daily basis. It also gets cold in the ICU.

Living in the mean streets of Las Vegas, it is a true urban jungle. You have to be able to navigate the Strip during the day and be ae to survive the brutal conditions of the Poker rooms and Blackjack tables.
Off the Strip, you have to be able to navigate through Red Rock canyon and not get singed in the Valley of Fire.
All in all you can go from scrambled eggs in a buffet, to scrambling rocks, to scrambling your bank account all in one day.
Then the sun goes down…..

Life is screaming by as I go from graduate classes, thesis research, and company travel. I am on the road as an engineer about 30% of the time, airports, trains and rental cars. My gear has become my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve learned to buy once and put Triple Aught Design gear at the top of all my wish lists. Just keep pushing though and enjoying all the hectic craziness of life!!!

I love exploring new places

I’m the pastor of a small church in Ceres, California. I take kids on urban adventures twice a month. I teach them valuable life skills such as: feeding homeless folks, singing at convalescent homes for the elderly, compassion, honesty, tracking, shooting, fishing, etc. this kit would be awesome for our cold weather excursions!

Because I enjoy knowing what’s just around the corner!

I explore lands only thieves and villains dare to trek. From rooftops to underground, I scrub and cleanse my city. With a camera and flashlight in my hand, sidearm concealed on my hip, and justice burnt into my soul, I rid my home of chaos, and crime. I vanquish the corrupt, and the dangerous; risking everything to protect this country and those that I love. With my life I explore, protect, and patrol. For the now, and for the future, until my last breath. I am an urban adventurer, through and through.

I enjoy not knowing what may be coming next, but being prepared for anything……and i think that pen would really work well with my flight suit :D

Love your products, love using them outdoors wherever I may be.

I dig wandering the citys watching all the people that live there.

I just go…

Walked across town 15 miles after an afterbar. Normally spend more time in the woods tho lol

I’m on the greatest adventure eve! My son was just born and his addition to my life has brought an entirely new level to you my life. He’s laying on my chest while I type this, snoozing away. Next week he’ll be with me on my 10k race, motivating me from his his stroller. We’re a team and Ill be teaching him all I know while I learn from him what I don’t know. Wearing TAD gear will ensure I look good while doing it.

I am a urban warrior who fights the good fight against corporate coruption 5 days a week! Some one has to keep the man in check and that me! With Triple Aught I would have even more of a edge to continue on plus look great doing it!

Merry Christmas and good luck all!

Thanks,
Brian

I am a stay at home Dad who homeschools his 10 year old twin boys! We are constantly battling the elements of an Urban Environment! Whether it be at a Museum or on a much needed hike in the wilderness! Plus when the horde of zombies attack it would be nice to be sporting T.A.D. Gear! Did I say that I was a stay at home Dad?

I LOVER the outdoors. Ever since I joined the military and seen Iceland, i’ve been trying to travel and see as much of the natural earth as possible. Currently I’m in Las Vegas and surprisingly there is a lot to do outside of the strip here. I’ve been building my outdoor gear for a while and TAD Gear is the staple of my clothing. I’ve been an avid follower of TAD Gear for a long time now and would make great use if i won this giveaway. Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

Proud Airman of the USAF

I’ll out-ninja anyone!

I live in LA, the OG concrete jungle. Daily I survive all kinds of things from rabid driving Prius’s to the occasional stampedes of velociraptors . I’m in it to win it.

Burrrrrrrrr

What makes me an Urban Adventurer is a desire to see the world around me for more than brick and mortar… When I go jogging I imagine being a secret agent, covertly mapping out my escape route for my next mission. With my kids I’m the same way, I turn anything into a playground; waiting in lines or simple point A to B, when people see me they see someone making an adventure out of anything!

I love exploring the city.

I love exploring the city.

We live in the Seattle area. Though we love to adventure in the Great Pacific Northwest wilderness, much of our time is spent Trekking around the city. We have two boys that are 7 and 8. The youngest has severe autism and has a difficult time in indoor places that have children’s activities. One place he does love is the Great Outdoors! We put him in his mobility stroller and brave the wind and rain walking through the city. He loves to look at all the hustle and bustle of the urban environment. We also take him to the ocean and trails to explore. Your products are always a part of my family’s adventures. Happy Holidays to all!

Because I love to adapt and overcome…

Because I’m always sneaking around the city, looking for deals and taking pictures of people without them ever knowing I was There.

Squirrel!!!

Exploring the city every night!!!!

I go into the parts of the city to explore. Sometimes you have to be boot-on-the ground to feel the pulse. In the spirit of George Mallory, you just have to go into the city “because its there.”

I love urban hiking. My favorite thing to do is to find the little areas that the city and it’s people have forgotten about that have fallen by the wayside. Some are like little time capsules, well preserved. Other areas are like a post apocalyptic wasteland because of urban decay. It’s a new adventure every time I step out the door.

I like to walk around outside in cold weather in urban locales to think of sop’s in different zombie apocalypse scenarios, also my birthday is the 31st!

Because whats life without an adventure?

Because i use my climbing skills to reach Paris rooftop to watch the sunset. We call it toiturophillie in France.

Because nothing makes me happier than a new place to explore. Don’t need much money, don’t need a big plan, just a map, a camera, and an afternoon… or longer.

Because I love exploring cities and finding those gems people overlook.

I am an urban adventurer because work keeps me grounded to a city, however, my calling is exploring the great outdoors.

Cheers!

-Arwin

It’s a small city where I live in but there’s always new places to discover if you try. Are you with me?

The Cult of Cthulhu has taken hold in our greatest cities… And I’m the only one that can oppose them.

Urban wanderers do not talk about urban wandering.

I have to be an Urban Adventurer because my wife loves to shop in the city and she needs me to come with her with credit cards in hand.

I do it for the children. And the zombies.

Starting flight school in January and think it would be a perfect lair for my training/visiting of many airports!

I run in any weather, I do archery till my fingers bleed. Nothing will keep me from the elements. TAD all the way, any way.

I’m, always busy and on the move, prepared for anything ahead wherever I may be.

Been following their products for awhile. Would really like to have some

When I’m at work I’m out in the city regardless of the weather- TAD gear keeps me going in all of that!

Sometimes, a quiet walk with ones own thoughts is necessary to sort out the deeper and more difficult things in life. The late night city walk, alone save for the company of the moon, and the natural aspiration of the city itself, helps clear the mind. The future is what you make of it, No Fate -

I could really use this when I walk my husky in the morning! He has a winter coat, now I need one too! :)

I was only given one body and need to take care of it

Don’t let the urban environment squash your sense of adventure. There is plenty to be had right here.

I love the outdoors, but living in a big city, it makes it hard to get out into the wilderness, so I enjoy the urban outdoors, here in San Jose, as well as nearby San Francisco.

why am I an urban adventurer? Because Im a goddamned US Army Infantryman! Co H 121 LRS

I commute via bike to work by bike through the streets of downtown Nashville, Tn.

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I’m bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after work, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don’t perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four-course meals using only a Mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prize-winning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis, but sometimes I get cold and I really need this Triple Aught Design gear.

Urban adventurer credentials; Signed up for a Goruck Challenge - when finished I’ll be signing up for a Goruck Selection and Trek. Living in Cleveland we get the “best” weather for urban adventure!

Being a non-car commuter in a major city? Every day’s an adventure, whether you’re going by bike, foot, bus, or what have you!

Married to an urban adventurer… I might be persuaded to join him, with gear like this. ;)

Because I love finding secret beauty in the urban sprawl.

it’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life, so you should be feeling good… i’m Batman

Because there be dragons.

Because I like to wander cities at night

Instead of stopping to smell the roses I like to stop and check out the street art.

I pound more pavement with my own two legs than the batmobile ever could. I navigate by night and wander by day, and I am always the first one off the elevator. My utility belt includes a camera, headphones, and a bottle of champagne (because what urban adventure would be complete without a little celebration).

…because I love getting up to enjoy the early morning before the roads fill with traffic and taking a run through my small part of the city. The hoodie and scarf are perfect for that as this year turns colder.

Gotta find all of those nifty, hidden places in otherwise mundane areas!

I like walking everywhere.

Because I explore the city at night always on the look out for minions of Cthulhu.

i wear sunglasses at night

I am about to move to Toronto from Barrie. Wish me luck!

I rode the first Des Moines Urban Assault Ride.

I moved out of the city at 18 with my wife and now are going back in this week with our 2 daughters in tow. Time for them to learn a true adventure while crossing 4 boroughs consistently. Merry Christmas everyone!

I love to photograph the city at night. The most interesting things come out when it seems like no one else is looking…

Because they don’t call me Steathward for nothing.
Shout outs from Vancouver, BC! :)

I am still on the quest for the best burger in Manhattan

I am an urban adventurer because I take a different route home as often as possible

Fire Poi in Philly gets cold at night..
best practiced whilst wearing a hoodie so your hair doesn’t get singed.

I prefer to walk everywhere. I’ll walk for an hour instead of driving for 10 mins.

I prefer to walk everywhere. I’ll walk for an hour instead of driving for 10 mins.

I’m an urban adventurer because I drove cross country to move from Ft. Lauderdale to Seattle, and now my only method of transportation is my road bike. Have you seen the freaking hills here??! It’s a battle to navigate through a new city that has hills that want to send you speeding into cars, buses, pedestrians, cats, and the Puget Sound.

Like a ninja, but a good force of visual partying.

I just moved to a new city and need to explorer. Could use some gear to assist with the hunt and look sharp while doing it.

I just moved to New York from Chicago. I’m never going back. The size of the city leads to endless adventures for infinite time to come. Even if I see all of Manhattan, I can’t wait to see all of Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. It’s an impossible task but one I’m up for. This clothing is perfect for that. Technical beauty is true beauty for clothing. Minimalist. Functional. Pure. This is how all clothing should be…and will be as humanity progresses forward.

Because I like the challenge of still being able to get lost in a city that I’ve known for 10 years.

I’m an urban adventurer because in a new city, I only go where the locals go.

I’m more comfortable roaming the streets of NYC, people watching and chasing food trucks, than sitting around at a desk.

I once put a burrito in the microwave WITH THE FOIL STILL ON IT!

This is the perfect package for the gorilla urbanists. Let the transitions from dead city centers to vibrant city-scapes begin!

…because I live in Los Angeles. Two words: Concrete. Jungle.

because i love getting lost in the city i supposedly know so well

The night offers more for those whom the daylight hours do not

I’m finding my way through life with a lens in one hand and shutter button making sweet music. The merino would make for a nice warm hug on these cold winter nights looking for that one special shot that tells a story without words.

I’m finding my way through life with a lens in one hand and shutter button making sweet music. The merino would make for a nice warm hug on these cold winter nights looking for that one special shot that tells a story without words.

I *never* take a map ;)

It’s cos I feel good in my city, knowing it’s corners and finding about new ones.

Coming from Detroit its in my blood. I like enjoying a cities
“other” side. I like finding art, graffiti and other things off the beaten path.

It helps to connect with a space on a whole new level. Living in SF now, I still get to do that, and with such a rich local history you’ll never get to see all of what SF has to offer. I love it!

Because I live in Sanford, Fl.

I dont walk much since I’m an amputee, but when I do, I make sure my smart phone is with me showing and pointing me to cool points throughout the city. Currently love using field trip for Android. Nice exploring app.

I like to break into abandoned warehouses in my hometown of Jersey City!

I army crawl my way to work

I like walking down the streets, by myself, looking at skyscrapers and just exploring the city.

I’m an urban adventurer because I cherish all things novel, and wandering aimlessly through a gigantic city is a great way to discover new and wonderful things.

I am a street-walking, alley-exploring, hill-climbing, cafe-sitting, people-watching urban adventurer.

Freerunning is pretty much the definition of urban adventure

because gas costs too much :p

i thrive best in the concrete jungle.

I survived the myan appoclipse, and I have to go under the knife on new year’s eve, so I can go over the fiscal cliff if I make it.next year is going to be very cold and an adventure. I could use a little warmth

FB

Enjoy life.Enjoy the adventure.that simple.

Always being up to travel through the country via trains and buses and getting lost and discovering new places while walking about!

I find it to be extremely exciting to just wonder aimlessly through the city discovering new places - really makes a change in perception of town or city or wherever else you are.

One can find adventure anywhere. Just let your imagination rule.

Every time I leave the house I have an adventure. It’s called life.

Because just staying home all day with my kids would be boring for all of us. We get out and explore a little everyday.

I’m an urban adventurer because that’s where the gears of the machine are. The heartbeat of your town. The soul of your universe. That, and the cool stuff you find. :)

Because life is either a grand adventure or nothing.

I love adventure!

Because it’s always fun to compare what locals suggest you do when you visit them. Finding the memorials and museums that aren’t in the front of every guidebook and the comfort food that’s not featured on yelp is the best way to travel.

Because I could get lost in my own neighborhood, but I moved to the big city and am braving the world all by myself! Grrr!

some of my favorite urban exploring memories include waking up early to see ‘the bean’ in chicago before tourists trampled through the fresh snow, exploring an abandoned subway with only my headlamp to guide me, and taking an elevator as far up a new skyscraper as far as it would go to find a popup jewelry store and a man dressed as santa at the top.

I like to be prepared for anything… even if I am just getting groceries.

This year I’ve walked my dog in some of the worst rain the North East has ever seen!

Urban Adventurer or urban warrior?? You need to have great gear in order to fight evil. TAD gear is top notch!

I live in the 4th largest city in the US, Its impossible to not be an Urban Adventurer

i love exploring cities for secrets

I simply love living in a urban enviroment, I love being lost in my own city and specially enjoy the feeling of wonder when I discover new beautiful, fascinating and sometimes frightening places.

When I am out, I have an “obligation morale” to look for something new and wondrous everyday. Of course I would always have my camera and sketchbook to capture moments.

I love photography, and don’t mind getting dirty and climbing whatever to get the perfect shot.

Perfect for walking my 2 dogs. I’m a writer and a bit of an old dog myself. That makes three.

i’m always prowling the streets for the latest eats or hidden secrets

I started a neighborhood group that routinely meets up every two months or so for a progressively bicycle party with multiple stops throughout our neighborhood with lots of fun and merriment and community camaraderie.

A city is a labyrinth full of unexpected surprises waiting to be discovered, that’s how I see it…

Countless hours exploring the streets of NYC on my longboard

One of my favourite things to do in my city is to explore its hidden nooks and crannies - and Melbourne is especially well suited to it, with tiny cafés and art galleries tucked away down stairs, through hidden doorways or up spiralling rooftops. (Open House Melbourne is perfect for adventurers too, opening the city’s hidden institutions to public view - me and a few other urban explorers always make sure to trek out each year and adventure around… from library catacombs to behind the scenes at music bowls, we haven’t seen everything yet, but we plan to!)

i walk everywhere in my city, sometimes quickly, sometimes taking my time and always on the lookout for things to capture with my camera.

I’ve taken the step to embrace an unconventional life in order to pursue my passion!

I’m always lost but enjoying myself in Denver. Sometimes I hold my GPS like a smartphone while walking so I don’t get mugged.

Because I have a love for exploring what’s considered ugly and uninteresting in my city.

I am a street photographer. Even when i am walking by places that i am very familiar with, i love to find alternative routes through alley ways, tunnels and through buildings, to capture the things that are happening in the negative spaces of the city behind the scenes.
That makes it a new adventure every time i step outside my house.

I am a street photographer. Even when i am going through places that i am very familiar with, i love to find alternative routes and move around alley ways, tunnels and through buildings to experience the negative space of the city and capture things that are happening behind the scenes.
That makes every time i go out a new adventure awaiting.

Mostly to discover what eatery has the best veggie burger / sweet potato fries

Always encountering the unexpected.

Whether by foot,rope, bicycle,skateboard,rollerblades,surfboard,motorcycle,car, boat, train or plane i have explored my surroundings all my life wherever i found myself. it is what makes me happy.

There isn’t any rural or countryside in my country, so the urban environment is what I am constantly exposed to, and exploration is my hobby/passion. :)

I need these for dumpster diving!

You’re an adventurer
You were out looking for meaning
While the rest of us were steaming
In an inspirating
Ah, urban pit

(LOU REED - ADVENTURER)

when I go to a new city I wander the streets instead of going to typical tourist traps. The common sights of common people as well as the uncommon sights of the unbeaten path make for the most interesting memories.

Urban exploring is my passion!

Because it will keep me warm on my custom Triumph cafe racer as I slip through the night.

my explorations are actually a bit more urbane.

I love the experience of discovering something new in my town…

YOLO!!!

The smell of the night air while not knowing where you are headed next. Adventure!

I am an urban adventurer because I bike ride around my city to explore!

I’m not an urban adventurer, but I want to be!

Getting lost in what is essentially your own backyard is half the fun!

Well, this would certainly go a long way to sneaking up on my kids when they’re out acting like hooligans…

I’m an urban adventurer because I sometimes drive and purposely get lost— it almost always leads me to new corners of my city I never knew existed, and I’ve met a bunch of great people in the process.

I’m an urban adventurer in spirit - with this gear it’s more likely to become a reality. ;]

I like to have urban adventures to talk to homeless people and help brighten their nights with my friends.

I think my exploits in downtown Seattle would fithese items just right

Because I am tactical nerd and love discovering new shortcuts around town etc. Derp!

To learn how to walk again, to take time to stop and smell the flowers… i sold both my cars. And now every path, gutter, stairs, intersection, parks & even garden is now an urban adventure!

I seek the nooks and crannies.

Because riding in the city is where its at.

Wherever you live, there are always places to explore!

Im from Latvia,here every day is survival

Even after 12 years in my town, It seems like I discover something new every day here.

Cold nights in Afghanistan? Check. Cold nights in America? Check. Love TAD.

I’m a new resident of Jerusalem, Israel, where you can’t not be an adventurer. It’s a city that combines thousands of years of history with the vibrant vitality of a capital city only decades long (united Jerusalem has been the capital of modern-day Israel only since 1967). I never know what awaits behind the next turn, so my eyes and ears are always peeled and I always try and take the road less traveled when at a crossroads here.

in NYC, every day’s an urban adventure! :)

I’m often working weird hours and head outside in the wee hours for some aimless exercise. It’s the same city, but toally different vibe.

Sailor in King County home to 3 urban (sailable) lakes and Puget Sound. Can’t wait for the Goosebumps race series on Lake Union in January, February, and March. If the wind dies and it’s snowing you just have a snowball fight across boats.

Well, I have my own zombie apocalypse bag, with various tools that would be useful if an apocalypse did happen… or on the statistically more likely situation of being stuck in the wild. The bag also happens to be my EDC bag ^__^

I’m an urban adventurer because exploration at every level is required for inspiration, which fuels my work as a graphic designer.

cause i just moved a couple months ago and i’m still exploring this town

Because the old man who drinks a 6 pack on my stoop every morning knows my name and I don’t bother the junkies shooting up on the stoop next door. They “just want a place to sit for a little bit”.

Life’s an adventure, dig it? Why not have the best gear around AKA Triple Aught Design gear.

I work as a photo assistant in los angeles and I’m constantly exploring new cool places for photographers and for photos. During shoots I often have to scale lighting rigs and stands to get to lights or mount lights in strange hard to reach places. I love working in the lofts downtown and on the rooftops, exploring new urban spaces!

I’m an urban adventurer because I bike everywhere! Sometimes just to see the sites!

We’re just tamer animals living in a concrete jungle and the adventure is out there.

because i go on late night adventures to climb trees and because i host pool parties on the roof of my house.

Trailblazing through the beautiful trails in Washington and British Columbia.

Because I didn’t move across the continent just to live in a suburb exactly like the one I just left. Since moving to a city my world has become so much more vibrant, creative, and full of new things to explore. I can’t get enough.

Pick me!

We live and work in Oakland.

I’m speaking for my boyfriend - he’s definitely an urban adventurer: he likes to go running in the streets, in the dark, even when it’s really cold in the winter!

I’m an urban adventurer because I crave to experience either unexplored or rarely untouched areas in cities. It’s truly a beautiful yet ephemeral form of adventure, which I really love.

Because there is nothing more fascinating than riding my bike at night exploring when everyone else is asleep and the rhythm of life is different than the day.

I’m an urban adventurer with my camera in hand.

Looks like a new go-to hoody to me!

Because I survived the NYC blackout

Rational may be off but, I feel like an urban adventurer because wherever I go I feel I belong. Little or no fear that I am out of place. (add to previous note please)

I take the bus to go hiking and snowshoeing.

Once a month my husband and I go for a walk! We spend the entire day walking. At the end of each block we take turns dictating if we should go straight, right, or left. In a city where everyone drives, we have found so many new and wonderful things in Los Angeles by doing this! So many new bars, the Museum of Death, the Museum of Jurassic Technology…So far the longest we have walked has been 15 miles in one day, mostly because we stop to eat and drink and explore. It is such a fun tradition and I definitely think it makes me an urban adventurer!

In NYC, where everyone looks straight ahead, I look up at the gorgeous architecture, down side streets to see what’s there, into holes in the ground - anywhere but straight ahead.

Simply because you can discover so much more about your city on foot than by car.

Way cool, People know I love black so when they are gifting me, I get black to shades of grey. Perfect addition to my wardrobe.

I’m an urban adventurer because I spend my weekends with my husband discovering fun new places in Atlanta!

A midnight walk with my new puppy “Sherlock” through the streets of DC. I love the urban life!

Oh! And I almost forgot one of my favorite pastimes, buildering.

Google it.

Well, I love hunting good hills and empty parking decks to longboard around in… hopping fences into abandoned factories for no reason other than to walk around in the eerie landscape… and making midnight runs to demolished buildings to grab some ‘guerrilla reclaimed’ lumber. ATL has a lot for the adventurous.

I like to go down to the old health department in downtown (my city) with a bag full of makeshift dollhouse furniture. I set up little domestic scenes in broken-out glass bricks, drainpipes, window-sills, and the like, and leave them there. Sometimes I take a picture, but not always.

Because I live in Detroit

I’m an urban adventurer because you’re never far away from a trendy coffee shop.

Growing up in DETROIT, one is pretty much raised an urban adventurer. Navigating, exploring, and utilizing (while remaining safe) a city larger than the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn COMBINED requires some real skills. The city is loaded with gems of small, amazing restaurants, historic buildings (and ruins), as well as expansive neighborhoods of both wonderful people, as well as the oft-mentioned crime. Buying groceries or going to work on bicycle, or by the unreliable SMART Bus transit busses, is an adventure - navigating through abandoned lots and neighborhoods, pothole ridden streets, witness new developments and the changing face of the commercial district. Living in Detroit has required me to become an urban adventurer.

i’m an urban adventurer because i live in socal!

Walking through some parts just outside downtown Ogden, Utah can be an adventure in itself. While I would say Ogden is dangerous (We were actually rated the #8 city in the nation to raise a family http://www.forbes.com/pictures/eddf45gihi/no-8-ogden-utah/ ), but there are a few areas I occasionally have to go through and am watching my back.

Because I live in Detroit.

Because i’ve once climbed the scaffoldings to the top of an old church

Because we love to get lost and then find our way back. If we happen to find an awesome hidden restaurant or little shop in the process it becomes a real adventure! :)

I’m an urban adventurer because I love walking far and long enough to make mental maps of places and then experience wonderfulness when I notice overlaps in my “I know where I am now” areas.

Because I bike to and from my everythings, and will take extra time to discover new parts of the city

because riding my bike at 4 am makes me feel ALIVE

I’m an urban adventurer because I have a grappling hook, and a cape, and a cowl.

Yes, I’m Batman.

I’m an urban adventurer because there is always something new to find. Especially in a city like NYC, there are layers upon layers of history to discover. And because of the ever-evolving nature of the city, I have a tremendous drive to document remnants of the past.

Because i run through bad neighborhoods!

Midnight bicycle ride. Film camera. Quiet spot.

Urban reflection
Illuminates adventures
My city awakes!

I am an urban adventurer because I have style!

Because I love going on foot into spaces that weren’t made for direct, human-scale interaction—dumps, construction sites, abandoned lots, train tracks, coal towers, empty roads in the middle of the night, rooftops covered in utility equipment, back stairs, loading docks…I like to feel the machine-motion of the city at work.

I work doing deliveries all day long and this prize would be perfect for my daily tasks. Thanks.

My favorite thing is to ramble through the city with no place to go. Get lost. Then find my way home again.

I’m an urban adventurer because I love any excuse to explore a city. My absolute favorite thing to do on a saturday is some city-wide Scavenger Hunt where I get to try to chart the fastest way to get between points in a city and then explore the weirdest nooks and crannies in search of clues.

After having a desk job for five years, this year I moved to another country where I walk every day to go to my job and school to learn the language. It feels great. In my free time, I wander my town. I’ve been here almost 6 months and I’m still finding new places all the time. On weekends, I take the train to the major city with no special plans - every time I take that train ride, my heart races and I remember how I much I love the cities of this country.

The concrete jungle is the closest to a jungle I can afford to go (and it poses the same kind of chalenges )

These all look like very nice items that I would actually use.

When I go into the city, I take my cane. Never know when you might have to defend yourself against ruffians.

When I was young I always thought I’d be an average Joe by day and a super hero by night. At least I succeeded at half of it…

I am an urban adventurer because living without first world amenities is too much. ;)

Travelling and wandering the city on bike and foot gives a unique view every time. There’s so much more to observe and interact with than when you’re closed in a car.

“Adventure is not outside man; it is within. ” But only TAD Gear will keep me warm and looking fly on the outside.

I truly believe that a day without adventure (albeit small) is a day spent pissing in the wind.

Banksy said - “Leave the house before you find something worth staying in for.”

That’s why to me Adventure is integral to making your short spark of an existence as meaningful as possible. What else should you do with your time on this small blue dot? There’s so much to see, taste and feel. Why waste your only opportunity to LIVE !

Because I hate wasting time at home and never say no to anything.

…because I go to many different cities on business travel and like to sightsee them by night.

Thanks for the chance.

for all the great and wonderful things I have seen in many of my city trips

abandoned subway tunnels in nyc, through high water, rats and unknown risks, searching for underground art and architecture long forgotten.

my middle name is danger.

The city is ever-growing and organic by nature, every turn, nook, and cranny is an adventure ready to be explore. This is something that i’ll never know until coming face to face with, and i want to prepared!

When I go to a new city I like to wander and find interesting places to explore.

I love to wander in a city at night and take pictures of the night landscape.

As a person who lives on the outskirts of San Francisco, I tend to explore the city a lot more than most people. I live next to the beach, a place in California that is generally the most sought after area. Well, obviously in San Francisco the beach is home to mostly Russian and Chinese families with the occasional college kid and young professional.

Living in this area I appreciate the scale of San Francisco and how truly easy it is to maneuver to each of the numerous neighborhoods that have something unique and exciting to share. I spend a lot of my days riding my bike to various places, simply because my neighborhood does not have a lot to offer besides a few restaurants.

So instead of being the typical San Franciscan that sticks to a small radius of exploration, my limited amenities forces me to explore the city and realize its breadth. More importantly though it shows me that the stereotype that people continual want to reinforce, i.e. the Mission is full of hipster or the Marina is full of bros, I get to enjoy these places and the people that inhabit them.

It’s one of the few characteristics that continues to keep my drawn to San Francisco.

You don’t have to leave the city to explore new landscapes. Plenty of urban ones available. It’s fun to discover them.

I live in Hong Kong where it’s densely populated. You’d have to trek through tons and tons of people to get anywhere in the city.

I am a student of the city, its people, and its culture. I have lived in 6 major cities and I like to be prepared for any and all situations!

exploring

I drive around with my windows down, enjoying the 35degree heat wave.

Simple: I am an urban adventurer because I walk San Francisco.
Everyday and in every way. It is an adventure 24/7.

I’m a street photographer but I think it’s the Cold War a I’m stuck
In Germany. Oh yeah I get weird looks.

From running to just taking a stroll in the streets, it never ceases to amaze me of all the amazing and cool little shops I can find, tucked away in the heart of the city, hidden in plain site.

I am an urban explorer because I pack up my kid and take him on adventures as often as possible :)

cycling is my urban adventure

me and a colleague basically broke into a church in rome and explored the catacombs with his zippo lighter. there were bones in there!

Everyday is an adventure in the city.

I live and work outside as much as possible, my apt is just a place to recharge batteries both metaphorically and literally :)

It’s my life, knowing everything about downtown LA.

I live and work in Singapore! The ultimate urban jungle, in my opinion.

Mmm…cozy.

Haha well in Singapore everythings urban !

I am an archtiecture student constantly stalking around all of the buildings in Boston

I like to sneak around the city and take cool pictures of undiscovered fun & art with my instant camera.

Decaf with soy milk!

We’re in between Tacoma and Seattle which provides us with many adventures. Just driving in Seattle for us is one…ask me how many times we got lost only to discover some new place of amusement.

I’m a teacher, guiding kids on the greatest adventure of all. READING!

(Freeze-frame on smile, fade to “The More You Know” logo. Fade out.)

I’m an urban adventurer because it’s the best place to learn about people, culture, the world. I love the beauty of the outdoors but love even more what I learn about life from cities.

I’ve spent many hours prowling through NYC but have managed to miss almost every tourist trap. So many much cooler things to find!

Urban adventurer? Um, I live in a small southern town with three stoplights. The only urban aspect here is when someone sells coffee at the farmers’ market.

I have loved TAD gear since forever. I am an urban explorer, just riding around on my motorcycle. This gear would be perfect.

I’m a fireman in one of the busiest cities in the country!

Because I leave my house everyday.

I now work in Kunming, China, and have no car or bike. Every walk is a constant adventure—through undiscovered alleys to the different backstreet shortcuts I take to get to work.

Because I’m always prepared for urban adventures

I explore the coffee shops and antique stores like a pro.

my dad’s a scout master - and at an early stage, we’ve been taught survival skills + i live in Manila. enough said.

These would definitely come in handy when I’m rappeling down skyscrapers, bus surfing, and my most favorite urban adventure…hipster dodging!

I work as a canoe guide during summers in the Minnesota wilderness, but coming home doesn’t mean leaving the wilderness. The city’s a crazy place, and my survival skills are just as necessary here!
The other day, I even used my first aid skills to help a lady that passed out in the park :-)

I hope to redeem myself for the day we found working geiger counters and there wasn’t enough, so I didn’t get one.

Cities are amazing feats, and if you’re lucky, you’ll see some visions of time past.

I love to explore new places

I am because I love exploring abandoned buildings!

I am always working outside in the cold and this would be a Christmas miracle to get these!

I’m a year round bicycle commuter for the last 4 years.

cuz night time street kite flying is a blast

Because I bike all the time. Even in snow, I get my way against cars in the city.

I lurk the streets of London at night; like Jack the Ripper only friendly and with non-murderous intentions.

When I had a job interview in a city I’d never been in before, I got off the bus at the station and immediately headed in the wrong direction to where I had to go for an explore. I made it to the interview with time to spare and now I know the city I’m moving to a fair bit better than I otherwise would have. I love getting more or less lost in a new city in the middle of the day. Google maps doesn’t know every last back path, but my feet are going to.

I would tell you why I’m an urban adventurer but that information is classified.

Live and work downtown and have only 160K km on my ‘98 civic

because i prefer the anonymity of the built environment to a social familiarity with people.

I love Adventure Time!

I’m an archaeologist, and one of my favorite things is wandering around industrial zones, seeing the evidence of the past shining through the modern use of places.

Manila is a crazy city. There is always something going on somewhere. People would surprise you with kindness and sometimes crudeness. The adventure is looking at things differently all the time.

I love walking around my city at night alone. The city is very different when its empty and dark.

I like to travel and find things off the beaten path, like a group of artists that would get drunk and wander around Paris with no direction just to see where they would end up in the morning.

I’m not that unreserved, but I like to find out what kind of fun can be had when you just go out and do whatever you want minute by minute.

The 10 minute down to our fantastic little coffee shop Bello Mundo for the best latte in a 300 mile radius and conversations with people to of equal quality.

Because I adventure in the urban area, duh.

Seattle is an amazing place to trek, regardless of the weather. I always take the time to investigate the shops and vistas when I have business in the downtown area.

It’s not always the usual experience when the only time I could afford to shoot the streets is after work, which means I walk a lot. It’s hard being shy when doing this, but it feels really good. More when the photos turn out good. Yes, this is me being an urban adventurer.

Brooklyn to Manhattan is an adventure I embark on every day! But I love the contrast between neighborhoods in this city. I don’t think it will ever get old.

When going to new urban environments, I enjoy walking around trying to find new things off the regular path and not afraid to take off the wall suggestions from locals.

I live in the city and I’m a curious cat.

Because I’m working my way through Boston’s top dining establishments.

Parkour all day, every day!

…that and I love cycling and jogging in general.

Growing up in the rough streets of London did not stop me from joining the Territorial Army and getting hooked to the nature on expeditions to places such as Greenland.

I’m an urban adventurer because one of my main sources of entertainment is exploring various streets, areas and other areas I’ve never been to of my city on foot. I spend countless hours mining my hometown for new experiences.

walking or riding my scissor charge bike, always taking asphalt as my own ground.

Because I live life the HemingWAY.

Because I never pay for parking!

to wandering around towns with my camera is the only thing to do when i visit a new city. and i love your webiste!

SF exploring all the time

braving the cold to always look for new places to eat

I have a street map of LA and for the last ten years I have been highlighting each street I drive on until I fill out the whole thing.

Surviving a Chicago winter can require unique gear. And this years unpredictable ability has made that even more important. Help me survive! In style

I burn through adidas SB shoes and aerosol tips quicker than you can say molotov markers.

I’m an urban adventurer because it’s the closest I’ll ever be to being Indiana Jones

When I go home from a night out, I almost never take a taxi home (of course I never drive). I go home by walking through the city and take in the urbanity, peace and quiet of a my beautifuč sleeping city. It takes a while but it’s worth it!

Because I live in a city that’s big enough to contain secrets, yet small enough to traverse mostly on foot and my bike.

Cycling in toronto since ‘99. Constantly looking for outdoor training venues for summer Capoeira since about the same time. The city is my home on many levels and has been for years…

I need to be on the move and ready to go on the streets of San Francisco this winter. You never know when that quake will hit and you need to walk around the bay! I’m going to do it in style, writing little notes with the triple aught space pen. Who is that fashionably scarfed urban adventurer? - disheveled citizens might wonder, as a pass by.

They say the first cities sprang up after plants were cultivated, but now it is our cities that cultivate ideas. From Bangkok to San Francisco, being an urban dweller means bumping into a thousand new ideas a minute and each city has it’s own personality; some step out to greet you and others are half understood dreams driving you to explore their depths. Live the Dream, Enjoy the City.

Because I have to repel random assaults from my 3- and 5-year olds.

I’m an expert storm-sewer spelunker!

Cities are amazing places to explore. There is something to living in density that leave you with more chance meetings, more surprises, more comforts, more change, more culture and more access to everything.

Adventure begins at the front door.

Returned home from a three month trip in Europe and alas I am now very fond of busing and biking. These would most definitely assist me in keeping warm and enjoying my commutes to Olympia and Seattle.

The city can be just as wild as the woods outside it’s limits. I spend my days adventuring around Vancouver looking for things long forgotten.

I am an urban adventurer because I explore the road less traveled

I ditched my car 5 years ago, bike and boat 15 miles a day to work :)

I’m on the road 3 weeks a month. New cities, new places. Comfortable is what you bring with you. Adventure is more than just showing up. Seeking out the grimy and seedy, the abandoned, neglected. Urban Adventurer? I suck marrow from the bones of great cities. London, New York, Chicago, Vancouver, Nashville, Boston, Washington, Seattle, Phoenix, Berlin, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Tegucigalpa.

Because I walk 1/3 mile to and from work? In the snow….

I am an urban adventurer because I live, work, and play in the greatest city in the world - NYC

we scour the city looking for places to shoot youtube videos

Because I have to hit the markets and local shops early to buy the best seasonal produce! (Yes, urban outdoor adventures can be all about food, too!)

Because I found all knew ways to get to work in lower Manhattan after superstorm Sandy.

I bike through winters & summers, day & night. I’m amazed that I have survived!

I’m an urban adventurer because I always like stopping in to see new neighborhood businesses and places! It’s nice to break routine by discovering new spaces.

Getting to work is a challenge every morning … if the train is more than 2 minutes late, I wont catch the bus. So I have to decide whether to wait for another 60 minutes or have a 30 minute footwalk … 20 minutes of it will be forest and fields full of wild animals … grumpy dogs and their owners! Thats what I call urban adventure!

I look for things in the city to photograph that others overlook. Sometimes at night. Sometimes in places that aren’t so safe.

Because I have a ridiculous case of ADHD which enables me to focus on everything and nothing simultaneously. This leads to genuine adventure no matter where I am because whether walking the dogs in the woods or going by foot on a midnight adventure to see what I can see!

People see me, and think ‘YARRR! An adventurer is he!’

Because taking the L train from Brooklyn is an adventure every morning…

umm… I adventure non-stop, urban or rural- I just full on adventure constantly, period.

I grew to love the city growing up in the suburbs of Chicago.

Because in an age where everyone’s sitting inside; I want to be outdoors. TAD gear helps with that. Stay warm and carry on!

I’m a die-hard bike commuter; daylighting in the office and moonlighting as a bike delivery person. I spend my time inbetween at the coffee shop or the bar, and the moleskine is never far from hand.

Urban adventuring required to play Ingress.

I’m an urban adventurer because today’s date is 12/20/12… Winter is coming. I must be prepared for the darkness that will descend upon us in the coming days. The warmth of sun will blotted out by the long fingers of night. The night is dark and full of terrors and I must be prepared to face these challenges.

The Triple Aught Design bundle pack would be well used and appreciated. By the old Gods and the new, I swear it. The Flux hoodie would shield my body from cold daggers and arrows of Winter, the scarf would allow me to warm my neck and hide my identity when traveling down unbeaten paths, the pen of Fisher would allow me to send warnings by raven to other urban adventurers, and lastly I would protect the realm while wearing the banner of the K9 with honor.

Allow me to don this armor and continue my urban adventuring for years to come. Gods be good.

Living I Minnesota between the cold and the people who forget how to drive every year in the snow it’s a adventure doig anything. The only get a way is the hikes and winter camping in the north!

I competed in Urban Disc Golf in front of a huge crowd in Asheville, NC. Tossing discs down city streets, parks, and over and around buildings for cash. I won all the money! It was pretty awesome to have the cops stopping traffic so you could whiz discs past them.

Every night and day is an Urban Adventure in Chicago!

I work in new york and that’s reason enough!

I teach Leave No Trace and Outdoor skills to Scouts Canada youth and leaders in the Metro Vancouver area. I see opportunities to use those skills in every area I go to. Downtown Vancouver, the Surrey suburbs, the North Shore mountains (a true Urban mountain range!). That’s Adventure!

because i leave no snow mound untraversed.

I’m constantly going out to construction sites, climbing around on scaffolding and through half-built buildings and old buildings that have sat unused for years

I used to co-run the Chicago Urban Exploration group!

because the quickest way to get somewhere is not the way you should take.

Because I live in the burbs, but prefer to spend most of my free time in the city.

Living and working in Minnesota during the Winter is an adventure in itself. Snow, cold, messy long commutes and beautiful scenery. It is all worth it. The Twin Cities is the best place for an Urban Adventure. Beautiful riverfronts and downtown attractions.

Urban adventuring presents a lot of good photo opportunities for me.

Because I live in a freaking third world country.. beat that!

Because I grew up in the country and love exploring.

I’m an urban adventurer by necessity. Trapped in this waking derelict nightmare, fighting for the last scraps of canned meat and putrid water. Christmas is cruel in this decaying hellscape.

I’m an urban adventurer because i’ve done lots of traveling, from My home in Scotland to Korea to America and back home to Scotland and back to America to rais my little american Family that i created when i was there lol It doesn’t get more urban lol

I live in the Bay Area, everyday is an urban adventure.

From Cafes to clubs, museum and parks, on road or by foot I love enjoying my locality.

I’m an Urban Adventurer because one doesn’t need to stray far from home to find blood-pumping excitement. I hunt for food in the wilds of my local parks, grow vegetables in my backyard and scavenge for supplies and provisions at the local thrift stores/goodwill. I operate a portable Ham radio monitoring the local repeaters to assist when disaster strikes, and I have two cats named Hank & Russell (They’re brothers from the Northern Country) that roam my property protecting me and my family from Coyotes, Raccoons and other critters. Adventure is everywhere, especially in the city…

Love this company. Much respect for MIA (Made in America products)!

Because I make it a point to walk down the scary streets to see where they go in New York City.

Because I loved to get on my bike and explore the city at all times of the day. Nothing better than riding throw a new part of town at dusk.

Because I eat hot dogs and churros from street vendors.

because you know sometimes when i’m travel, even in my hometown, i just want to drive or walking (if travelling) without destination or purpose, just pass thru and explore. it’s a go-show with no expectations. especially when you have spare days left to spent

i best urban adventure story takes place in tokyo. It was late in downtown tokyo, the shochu had followed liberally, and we decided to walk back to our capsule hotel. On the way, we ate street food (taco yaki), bought beer, and hot canned coffee from vending machine. We had many conversations in both broken Japanese and English with people in three piece suit, the homeless, and a girl who had on more make up then any of us had seen out side a circus. On our final leg of our journey, we come across a singular sakura tree in full blossom we lit buy lights from a park near buy. We basked (swayed) at the tree, and drank our beers. i’m not sure how, we were only 5 minutes away from our hotel, but two hours later we all climbed out of a massive open irrigation/sewage canal that we had been exploring. The next morning, we all got up at 4 am and went to the fish market. Best sushi ever.

Why am I an Urban Adventurer? Because parkour makes it that much more fun. http://vimeo.com/1542003 (Me)

Looks like the perfect weight for a cool night in TN.

Please win!

I recently sold my car to commute by bike… in Houston!

Nothing like wool to keep you at optimum Urb-venturing temperature…

I get my camera and books and go anywhere in this city to read and capture moments of the daily way of living of people.

I’m an urban adventurer because my boyfriend lives in the city and we love to explore!

I just moved to Sydney about 3 months ago and one of the first things you learn about living here is that you walk around EVERYWHERE by default. That said this place has so many nooks and crannies to discover that it would take years to even discover a good sampling of the gems littering this place. I like to spend a couple hours whenever I have a free day just wandering around and have found some great little holes in the wall because of it. :-)

I recently transitioned to running outside, in Portland, OR. Neither rain nor sleet nor snow nor hail shall keep me from my run!

because i take the long way to get somewhere just to see what is in between

I think this would be perfect for my morning runs outside of my hotels. Let me win!
