An adventurous life is like a healthy diet. Daily habits matter. That\u2019s why microadventures are so valuable. Saturday afternoon free? Make it count. Hours of daylight after work in the summer? Take advantage. Not every adventure needs to be, or even should be, a multiday epic, and these small, fast missions can bring a much-needed element of adventure into your daily life. And you can do more of these insta-excursions if your gear is organized and ready to go, especially if you\u2019re into a variety of activities.<\/p>\n

Tips from a Pro<\/b><\/h2>\n

L. Renee Blount knows the value of being ready for anything. The adventure photographer is a longtime climber and an avid trail runner, skier, and mountaineer. As a multisport athlete, Blount<\/a> needs to be nimble for last-minute assignments and impromptu adventures.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a basement where the gear is hyperorganized,\u201d the Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven<\/a> ambassador says. \u201cThat way, if I need to pull any piece of gear, I know exactly where it is. You don\u2019t want to spend 45 minutes looking for tubes when you have the chance to take a quick bike ride.\u201d Her advice:<\/p>\n

\"\ud83c\udf32\" Organize by activity.<\/b> All of Blount\u2019s camping gear is in one place, and all of her climbing gear is in another. Put each sport\u2019s gear in a separate bin.<\/p>\n

\"\ud83c\udf32\" Label it.<\/b> Use painter\u2019s tape and write exactly what is inside the bin on the outside so you don\u2019t have to open lids when you\u2019re searching for a specific piece of gear.<\/p>\n

\"\ud83c\udf32\" Keep a duffel bag ready.<\/b> It\u2019s so much easier to say yes to a spontaneous adventure if you\u2019ve already started packing. A waiting duffel preloaded with nonperishable snacks is a great start.<\/p>\n

Gear Pick<\/b><\/h2>\n

Blount\u2019s favorite \u201cgo bag\u201d is the F\u00e4rden 50<\/a>, a large-volume duffel that doubles as a backpack. \u201cI love being able to switch it to a backpack, and it\u2019s great for air travel too because it\u2019s identifiable and easy to spot in a crowd of other bags,\u201d Blount says. \u201cI\u2019ve done at least nine big missions overseas with it, and it still looks great.\u201d<\/p>\n
