more "how to's" and wonderful pics of the outdoors! Thats what I like. Cooking tips are always nice, as I remember NOLS has the absolute best "outdoors cooking" guide there is on the planet.

From Song of the Open Road by Walt Whitman:
Afoot and lighthearted, I take to the open roads
Healthy and free, the world before me.
The long brown path before me leading
wherever I choose.... Read More
Henceforth I ask not for good fortune,
I myself am good fortune.
Henceforth I whimper no more,
Postpone no more, need nothing,
Done with indoor complaints, libraries,
querulous criticisms.
Strong and content I travel the open road.

The trucker's hitch is a great thing to have in your quiver of tricks. It's often the first knot we teach students on NOLS courses to use for pitching a tent. It is simple to tie, easy to adjust, and easy to untie...

Most recently used this to tie a metal ladder to the roof of a land rover in eastern Nepal. Where would I be without the trucker's hitch. Thanks NOLS!
