Of course, Potter’s at it again. This time he’s highlining above… Read the rest

Can’t handle the rustic lifestyle? Don’t feel like taking ten minutes to stake your tent? Then, apparently, ‘glamping’ is for you. It’s a (disturbing) new trend that offers those seeking an outdoorsy overnight stay without all the accoutrements of a true camping endeavor.
If you haven’t guessed it–’glamping’ is glamorous… Read the rest
Here at Wend… Read the rest, we’re known for having shared a dog story or two. It comes naturally, considering dogs are the outdoorsy type themselves; they often accompany their owners on hikes, surfboards and even on pedal-powered trips. But cats–the ‘other’ domesticated mammals–they just don’t get to get out with their
The mayor of the capitol of Lithuania, Vilnius, has apparently had enough with cars being parked in illegal zones such as bike lanes.

Sure, Jake Gyllenhaal’s pretty–but does he have the balls to climb a mountain or shimmy along a rope across a deep ravine? Actually, he makes the latter look pretty easy.
In this clip, he’s initially oh-so-scared; “This is one of those moments,” Gyllenhaal says, “Face your fear.” But once he’s… Read the rest
Yogaraj C P holds the Guinness World Record for having done the most consecutive yoga positions while on a motorcycle–as seen in the above video.
