Waterproof Bag

Hey Everyone,

I had some people ask about these bags, so I figured I'd make a video to show you exactly how I do it. Oh, I like to use Gorilla tape because it's just like Duct tape but stronger.

New Maps!

National Geographic has come out with some new maps for 2009. They now have maps in Georgia, which not only cover the AT starting at Springer Mtn, but they also have the entire Bartram trail and a good portion of the Foothills trail. As any seasoned outdoorsman can tell you, a good map is invaluable in the back country. I trust Nat. Geo. maps for their accuracy, but they are also printed on waterproof, rip proof paper which means they last forever.

Classes

Hey everyone,

Well, my class and event schedule has been pretty busy lately. I just attended the hunt-n-fish day event and, as always, had a blast. There is nothing better than hanging out in the woods talking about backpacking all day. I have also been regularly teaching classes to individual units. I really love doing these kinds of events, which give me a chance to share what I have learned over the years, and to help people start out in the right direction. On top of that, the scouts are always attentative and have great questions. I want to thank all of the units that I have spoken to lately for your support, and I look forward to future meetings.

Trial Cooking

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that the site "Freezer bag cooking" is no more. It has a new name "Trail Cooking". I have updated the link so it will take you to the new site.

News 14 | 24 Hour Local News | TOP STORIES | Warm, wet weather means mosquito season

My fifteen seconds of fame. I have done many news reports in the past on paddling and hiking but never had a web site to post them on, and now that I do, my first one is about bug sprays. I know it's not backpacking but I thought it was funny. Watch out for them skeeters!
