Hikers will sometimes get lost on a trail past sunset, which means bringing a flashlight is essential to finding your way to the trailhead. We take light for granted because we are used to lights assisting on dark streets, roads, and highway. Yet, when you are deep in a forest and its nightfall, the only gentle light source you may have is a full moon. However full moons are not seen every night. It is important to see the smaller details of your trail, your map or to see what's lurking in the bushes. This is why a flashlight comes in handy. As Cody Lunden says “Light takes away fright.”
Be sure to bring extra batteries in the event your primary batteries die. Remember that no matter how much you plan , how well you know the trail, or how closely you keep track of time sometimes you will become sidetracked or disoriented and night fall arrives. This happens when some of us are not paying attention or are unfamiliar with a trail.
While a flashlight is no excuse for staying out later than you should, but if a problem arises, you will be prepared to deal with the situation.
A candle is another light source that you could use to light your way, although not as bright as a flashlight, they can be useful for starting a fire and illuminating your trail. They are multi-useful.

When deciding on what to pack for your ever adventurous journey can be very overwhelming. Space is limited and so is the amount of weight that you can physically carry so how do you choose what to take. Many suggest that a basic survival kit be assembled before setting out. This kit would include, but not be limited to matches, fire starters, fishing line, a tiny compass, and water purification tablets. Stephen Regenold. "Survival Gear: 10 Items to
According to the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) website food pyramid, two to three servings of the meats, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts group are recommended. Joe consumed 18 servings. This is six times the recommended amount.
Many details in the Stranger Things trailer had to do with light – flickering lights, the light on Will’s bike flickering before he disappears, and the blinding light when Will vanishes from thin air, for example. I think that light can represent discover and hope in a lot of instances, but here, since the light is flickering, I think it symbolizes something slightly different. I think that the flickering light we see so many times in this trailer does represent discovery, but not in a celebratory way. I think that flickering lights represent discovering in a dangerous way, because although one would be able to see things in flickering light, it is not complete light, making things difficult to see sometimes. I think the flickering light

Nuts (I eat almonds and raw peanut butter, but most of the nuts are similar in nutrition facts).
In hiking, as in life, there are choices between success and pain, pride and safety; this is the story of one such choice. Last summer I participated in the Rayado program at Philmont Scout Ranch. The eighth day of the trek was my crew’s greatest challenge: Super Black Death, a hike of seven peaks in one day.
In addition, other kinds of nut and seed butters can be studied. For example: almond butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter, sesame butter and sunflower butter.
Nutrition. Peanut butter is well known because it contains many vitamins, proteins, and fiber. Nowadays, it is very important for everyone to start a day with a meal that it is rich in vitamins, nutrients, and provide energy throughout the day. Besides obesity and malnutrition is a worldwide problem.
In the daytime, the sun illuminates the world, drawing everything into plain sight; in the nighttime however, the moon provides only a faint glow, allowing the world to be obscured and thrust into shadows and darkness. The fundamental fear of the dark is one of the reasons we behave so cautiously during the night. As juveniles, people are taught to fear the night and trust the day; they are told folklore about “the Boogey Man” and other unpleasant creatures that “go bump in the night”, and only in the night. The folklores were told to protect them because it is actually more dangerous during the dark hours of twilight. Many crimes occur during the day; however more crimes occur during the night because there are more places to hide and less people to witness these evil ...
Good fats are found in nuts, avocados, olives, seeds and healthy oils like olive oil, flaxseed, and sesame.
People will light up the candles and then leave them to burn for hours. People should not burn candles more than 2-3 hours at a time. “Candles caused 3% of reported home fires, 3% home fire deaths, 6% of home fire injuries, and 5% of the direct property damage in home fires” (nfpa.org). Many people light candles for many reasons, such as a birthday celebration, a romantic dinner or just to relax and enjoy the smell. However, some people do not pay attention to the candles after being lit. “On average, 25 home candle fires are reported per day. More than half of home candle fires occurred when some form of combustion material was left or came too close to the candle” (nfpa.org). Many people use candles when a storm takes out the electricity in a home. Candles are an easy way to have light but one should always remember to blow them out when done using them. Other ways to keep fire safe are never leaving a candle in the reach of children. Not only can it cause a fire, it can always cause severe burning of the skin. Placing a lit candle in the bedroom is risky because people fall asleep in there and can leave the candle burning. Christmas time is the most popular and busiest time of the year to purchase, display and light candles to use them as decorations in a home. Everyone should always be paying attention when candles are lit in the
