Here’s a summary from the website: Everyone walks. What distinguishes hikers is that walking does more than transport us, it transforms us. But nowhere is the thoughtful undercurrent of hiking celebrated. The wisdom we glean from the wilds is a match lit in the rain. That’s why we created this book: to cup our hands around the flame. These journal entries are the mental waypoints we recorded while hiking 30,000 miles / 48,280 km (more than the circumference of the Earth) through wildlands worldwide. Accompanying them are photos of the places (primarily the Canadian Rockies, Utah canyon country, and New Zealand) where ...

The concept product is a small underwater turbine device that’s designed to be small enough to fit in a backpack, and can be used to generate power from a river: Campers, hikers, and especially rafters could use it to charge personal items like phones, flashlights, and GPS-devices (anything with rechargeable batteries).Hey, all you outdoorsy people: Is this something you could get into on a hiking or camping trip?via TreehuggerPost from: BlissTreeVena Microhydro System: Water-Powered Energy On The Go (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3907566 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:47:56 +0100 3907566 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3737024&cid=t_152341_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Feco-friendly-shopping-10-camping-gear-essentials-under-10%2F Getting back to nature is one of the most eco-friendly things you can do in the summer, and even if you’re not the camping-type, a long day spent hiking and hanging out in at a National or State park is a great way to stay fit. But making sure you “leave no trace” and use eco-friendly products is especially important when you’re in the wild, so we found 10 things that you can pack in your backpack and use in your tent to keep nature pristine, all under $10: Post from: BlissTree Eco-Friendly Shopping: 10 Camping Gear Essentials Under $10 (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3737024 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:37:54 +0100 3737024 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3695838&cid=t_152341_167_f&fid=38271&url=http%3A%2F%2Frebeccascritchfield.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F06%2F24%2Fskip-your-camping-food-blahs-and-try-some-fun-and-healthy-fuel%2F By: Carlene Helble- Elite Nutrition Intern Summer is the perfect time to run out from the office and pitch your tent on a camping adventure, but do you know how to fuel your trip? Rebecca recently provided Dick’s Sporting Goods magazine with some essential tips for a successful camping experience. While candy bars and junk food may seem like an easy pre-packaged pick up, simple carbs will eventually result in an energy crash, the last thing you want while hiking to your destination. The right balance of carbohydrate, protein, and fat in your snacks and meals is crucial for sustained energy the whole trip. It’s also important to remember to eat every 3-4 hours during activity. When you and your group hike, bike, climb, or even set up camp, you are expending calories, which need to be r...

I mean, seriously, who else has to think about all of the “what if’s” and “then I would’s” and “how will I’s” and “am I able to’s” that go with just about every part of our lives as MS progresses?! Whether it’s sleepless nights during/post attack, as my brain tries to reroute signals or the constant self-talk to get me through-over-around-(sometimes) under obstacles (both real and imagined) it seems that I’ve never a quiet moment. Well, this weekend I got one… well, several. I a...

Then I remember the snow and slush I schlepped through on the way to his office. Always ill prepared for wintry weather, or just too stubborn to buy hideous boots, I sit on his leather couch, nervously shaking my wet, tennis shoed foot, legs crossed, pillow clutched protectively in front of me and my demons. For $135, we are reviewing my meds today. On more than one occasion, it’s been pointed out that I “present” well. This psychological jargon translates into: me, looking just fine. By some unconscious effort, perhaps I do act in that manner. Still, no Oscar, or the riches that accompany it, arrives in my mail box. Go figure. Indeed, I am in grand shape. This is the only s...

The minute her sisters (i.e., the entertainment) left she started fussing! Who wants to stay home with boring old mom anyway?! Now I say this in the most loving way possible: this child is like a dog, if only in the sense that she goes to the door, bangs on it with her hands and yells until I say we’re going out! She wants to be where the action is, there’s no mistaking that. My baby in the Baby Jogger strollerSo we headed out the door for a nice long walk. I put her in the Baby Jogger, and of course then she was all smiles! Part way through the walk she fell asleep and I stopped to read a book on a park bench underneath a pepper tree. When my daughter woke up flushed...

I am still kicking around volunteer ideas.  My ex-wife no longer works at the library (she recently quit) so I may ask them.  The humane society volunteer position petered out.  They only had around twenty dogs and were having to find things for me to do.  With my social anxieties, it made me extremely uncomfortable as if I was a burden to them.  I spent most of my time standing around with nothing to do with my hands in my pockets.  I can...

Jacob has autism, is non-verbal, and physically fit. From WDTV news: …Jacob might not know that he’s being considered “lost.” Family and friends say Jacob also has severe autism and doesn’t speak. Even if searchers are close to him, he’s not able to yell back. A search is being carried out over a 10-square mile area covered in brush and with steep terrain. Rescuers have been shouting promises of candy and food and Jacob’s parents, Jim and Karen Allen, have brought his pillowcase for rescue dogs to sniff.
