Extreme-travel guru Richard Bangs has parlayed his role as a founding partner of Mountain Travel Sobek into a career as a one-man adventure travel brand. After countless articles, nearly as many books, and previous Web outings with Slate, MSNBC and Expedia, Bangs has teamed with Yahoo and launched a web-only TV series called (shock!) Richard Bangs’ Adventures. 5 trips have been posted since the site started in November, with more to come, and the goings-on all sound suitably exotic and/or death-defying. Thus far, armchair adventurers can follow along through trip logs and video clips, as Bangs or his cohorts -”>follow the River Jordan from its source, trace -”>encounter sea gypsies in Thailand, and get misty over mountain gorillas in Rwanda.
