behind me, and on the downhills she tries to sneak rides on my skis. The dogs ran circles in the chest-high snow while I inventoried my backpack one more time to make sure I had everything I needed. My sleeping bag, my Thermarest, my stove, Alex's bivvy sack, matches, lighting paste, flashlight, knife. I brought three pairs of long underwear - tops and bottoms - so I could change once before I went to bed, and once again in the morning, so I wouldn't get chilled by my own sweat. I brought paper and pen

5 Types of Winter Shelters Fit for Camping Enthusiasts Everyone knows that summer camping is a blast. With great weather, plenty of gorgeous views and basically every other outdoor enthusiast in the country vying for a camping spot –it can be glorious but also a bit crowded at times.

“Hey, Jake, do you mind if I have one of your brats?” “I’m eating all of these, man. I’m so hungry.” Something inside me made me wonder if it was biologically possible to have two stomachs. If so, Jake was the prototype of his kind. In the process of coming to terms with the fact that I wouldn’t be getting one of Jake’s bratwursts, I became overwhelmed with joy when I realized that I previously packed a can of Bush’s baked beans in my backpack.

Everyone gathered on the campus grounds waiting on the bus to take us on our very first archaeological field expedition. I’ll be the first to admit I’m something of a loner, my only contacts with my fellow classmates was the occasional salutation of “Good Moring” when entering a classroom but only if someone beat me to the room. Normally I’m the first person there because I like sitting at the back of the classroom and those are normally the first seats to go. Imagine our surprise when we found out

A Leg to Stand On, by Oliver Sacks, is a book about Sacks himself. Sacks depicts the story of his self-induced disability, and the mental/physical barriers he faced within recovery, and acceptance.

as in the clinical tales of Dr. Oliver Sacks. Both of these doctors have very similar and diverse relationships with multiple patients

There are many factors to consider when searching for a child's sleeping bag. Since kids have a lower body mass than grown-ups, an adult sleeping bag is out of the question. Get one too big, and heat will escape. Grab one too small, and your child will feel uncomfortable. Usually, there are two types of sleeping bags: indoor and outdoor.
