We spend so much time trying to make our time and what we are accomplishing with it, more efficient, effective and painless as possible. Backcountry camping is wonderful so we can get away from all the stresses of work, home and life in general. We leave conveniences and comforts but are not seeking to do things the hardest way possible. Getting out into the backcountry has allowed my husband and I with our 5 children, to connect and work together. Its been a great character and skill building experience. We have our moments of frustration and arguments but the payoff in what we learn about ourselves and each other is worth it. Try paddling a canoe while one child wiggles around or off balances the canoe by sitting too far to one side. …show more content…
Zip ties still have their place, but out in the backcountry it's not convenient, are a one time use and then must be carried your full trip until you are able to properly dispose of it.
Grooves in the Nite Ize Gear tie makes it easy to do a quick twist tie around the items you want to bundles. When we tie our paddles and fishing poles together we even make a little handle. This makes what was an awkward bunch of items to carry and snag on branches, now easy to handle. Now look around during your portage, enjoy seeing colourful mushrooms and miniature moss villages. In the canoe we tie cameras, water bottles and other items that we want to have conveniently out when it's needed. When a moose is in the reeds drinking from the lake, or a beaver is swimming by hauling branches, an eagle is sitting just feet above you on a branch extending over the water, a quick twist will release the camera from the Gear Tie that secured it to the

8" ties are great for charger cables, supporting your phone so it can stand alone, hang a lantern. 18" ties are great for tying a shovel to your four-wheeler, hanging your drill, your boots so they can dry out, tying charger cables or extension cords, 24" is great for tying together paddles and fishing poles with enough tie left to make a little handle. Put a Nite Ize S-Biner on the tie to hook on your water bottle. Put Gear ties on the Nite Ize Gear line to hang towels, shoes, camera and other things you want to use frequently or have dry out. We reached for our Gear Ties all summer, consequently attest to both their durability and versatility. Looking to buy Nite Ize Gear Ties? We are a Canadian Authorized dealer for Nite Ize products.

While I was writing this blog, he had me pause and take a look at a clip of a teenage boy fumbling an awkward armload of paddles. "Nite Ize Gear Ties would have solved that problem" my husband said.
I'd love to both hear and see the uses you have for Nite Ize Gear
Baskets are made of feathers and beads. A cool fact is, The weapons by the Pomo people included spears, stone ball clubs, knives and bows, and arrows. The sharp points of their weapons and their tools were fashioned from Obsidian. They used spears and basket traps for fishing. For large animals, they used bow and arrows. For smaller animals they used nets. Also, the spears were made out of arrowheads. The history and details of the Stone Age weapons made and used by Native Americans are included in the various articles in this section which provide an opportunity to study the differences between the tribes of Native Americans. The Pomo who lived along the coast made rafts of driftwood bound with plant fibers. The Clear Lake Pomo made raft-like boats from bundles of tule reeds bound together with grape
In the southern backcountry during the American Revolution, there was a different style of warfare present. The British forces excelled in traditional war tactics, such as bayonet combat. The Battles in the New England region were more traditional but, the continental forces struggled to successful come out of a battle. The commanders in the southern backcountry realized they would never win the war if they continued to fight traditionally against the British forces. So several of the commanders took to a guerilla style of fighting when the war turned to the south. With the guerilla style of fighting they realized with the rough terrain of the southern Backcountry that traditional warfare would be ineffective and foolish for most instants.
Confederate "haversacks" were used to carry food rations. These bags were typically made of linen and lacked the waterproofing found on Union counterparts.

When you were a little kid whoever bought your shoes always bought you the ugly Velcro ones that most always had some kind of cartoon character on them or lit up when the shoe hit the ground. Then one day you decided you weren’t a little kid anymore and the cartoon character or light up shoes weren’t cool enough for you. So off the person who bought your shoes went to buy “big kid shoes”. But, there was a problem, you didn’t know how to keep them on your feet without tripping over those weird looking strings. So the shoe buyer went through step-by-step teaching you how to tie your shoes. At the time it seemed like it was an impossible task to accomplish, and it may even still be for some people. Maybe this way will help the young and old that can’t tie their sho...
She doesn't really care for camping; she'd rather be at home watching TV. She goes because my dad likes to once in a while. I, on the other hand, love to camp and adore being out in the nature.
The knot when made with a large enough diameter rope creates a noose. The wraps create a large cylinder mass right above the loop. When placed around the condemned’s neck the noose is usually putt behind the left ear. This knot was designed so that when the person being hanged fell, the knot would deliver a striking blow to the back of the head causing it to snap the fourth and fifth vertebrae in the spinal cord.
Promoters of teen wilderness camps bring up many good positives for these types of places. Teens at these camps are always under the supervision of trained and qualified counselors. Weekly therapy sessions are held where the campers can get one on one time with a therapist. These teens are also taken away for the environment they were previously in and placed hundreds of miles away from drugs, alcohol, and their friends who may have been a bad influence. However, I believe that the promoters of these camps should look more closely at all of the negatives.
I enjoyed this experience so much, that I decided to go back to volunteer for Change Point, and will be going there once a week. This experience had the impact it did because I got to connect with the community in which change Point serves and help assist others. By doing this, I gained hands-on experience in which will help me in my future career. I also was able to enhance my skills in being a leader and in communication. The parenting classes that I taught to others not only helped them but also helped me. Each day I was there, I took valuable tools home for myself to be the best mother for my
My friend had invited me along with him and his family to the ocean. It was vacation for the family, but for him and me it was the beginning of a week of serious business. We had an obsessive hobby to pursue. As avid and long-term freshwater fisherman, we were thrilled by the thought of catching those large and exotic saltwater fish we had seen on television a billion times before. Yet little did we expect there to be such vast differences between our freshwater fishing and the saltwater fishing, which we were about to pursue. We learned through trial and much error that in order to have a successful saltwater fishing experience we had to make adjustments to all the freshwater tackle, tactics, and gear we knew.
My Kelty Redwing backpack is folded up in my closet. Cramped on a shelf next to a box of old textbooks and forgotten letters, my backpack, like me, would rather be elsewhere.
I think our yearbook theme this year should be a wild west theme.One reason I think our yearbook theme should be the wild west is its a uniqe theme, almost nothing like it. The backgrounds for the wild west may be a silhouette of a mountain with a cowboy on a horse or anything like that. Some backgrounds of school events might be square dances or a cowboy kicking soccer ball. We could also incorporate founts that go with the theme we could also use gold background for the gold rush.
These reels usually have a series of gears that turn the line collecting devices several times for each crank of the handle.
From the humble beginning of the kayak as a hunter’s boat in the Arctic, to the olympic stage of competition, the kayak has become a modern vessel for voyages both near and far, and has become one of the most popular modes of transportation on the water as a recreational hobby for many.
It was important that we shared assumptions about reality. One of the challenges that we faced was how to discipline our child. Due to us having very different family dynamics growing up and me missing nine months of our daughter life it created a disruption in the transmission process and my wife would complain that I was not disciplining age appropriately. However, I had a deep desire to feel respected and included. This caused constant frustrations in our home. The second challenge we faced was resentment. Although my wife knew that I didn’t choose to be deployed and when to be deployed she felt I left her to do everything all alone. She felt that she came from working, owning a business and always being busy to being dropped on an island only to serve me and then being left alone. She would always bash me for being gone and how she could do things on her own. This made me feel excluded from the family, which turned my intrapersonal communication into to an internal sadness and then to anger. ¬¬As time went on I felt like we slowly began to reconnect through interpersonal interaction by attending marriage counseling and doing the things we enjoyed together again. Marriage counseling has opened my wife and me up to self-disclosure and listening to one another. The Sherman and
