This NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) RV was at the REI at Paradise Valley
Mall in Phoenix Arizona.
NOLS – "The mission of the National Outdoor Leadership School is to be the leading
source and teacher of wilderness skills and leadership that serve people and the
environment. " www.nols.edu/
REI – Recreational Equipment is a cooperative selling outdoor & adventure gear.
"REI‟s passion for the outdoors runs deep. Our core purpose is to inspire, educate and
outfit people for a lifetime of outdoor adventure and
stewardship." www.rei.com/stewardship
At REI, "We inspire, educate and outfit for a lifetime of outdoor adventure and
stewardship."
I‟m an old fart so NOLS wasn‟t around and I learned from the USN SERE (survival
evasion resistance escape) school . If I was younger and didn‟t know the wilderness,
NOLS would be on my "to do" list.
Question by starlight882: ok ur opinion on survival kits and first aid kits?
im going cave exploring/hiking in my are and im wondering besides basic equipment
should i have these 2 kits http://www.walmart.com/ip/Coghlan-s-Survival-Kit-in-a-
Can/8586949#ShortReviewTitleBar
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Johnson-Johnson-All-Purpose-170-Ct-First-Aid-Kit-1-
ct/893386
or this one http://www.walmart.com/ip/LifeLine-Trail-Light-3-First-Aid-
Kit/13848567#Specifications the last one isnt very informative but looks like it may have
alot more medical items and im not planning on haveing broken bones or giant flesh
wounds MABY a scratch or graze or so or etc we
will be building a fire and etc i plan on takeing either the first 2 or the bottom 1 of thoes
links along with food,water,fire arms and amuniton along with a flare and 150 ft of rope
and 300 ft of cordage (so we dont get lost in the cave) along with head lamps, flash lights
and other items but realy this is about what kit would you say would be beter to carry the
first 2 or the bottom 1? (sorry i rambled a bit)
Best answer:
Answer by Colouriings
I think the kit in a can is good, because it comes with a few first aid things but it also
comes with hiking camping survival things, but the others mainly come just with first aid
supplies. Also its little so it looks like it could be easier to carry around. Hope you enjoy
your adventures

What‟s in my bag
by HOSTMEIR on NOVEMBER 4, 2011
What’s in my bag
Image by ParaScubaSailor
Well, what‟s left over after New Year…
I planned on doing quite a few indoor photos, but forgot to take any lighting (I would
have taken two Vivitar flashes along)
The only reason I took all that kit along was that we had a very short walk to the chalet, as
there was almost no snow on the road and we were able to ride allmost all the way to the
top.
Carrying it back down about 45 minutes (we expected snow during the night and got the
car much lower down) confirmed that it‟s not practical to carry on hikes.as the whole lot
weighed close to 30kg…
Question by pete: Im gonna go hiking by myself?
Im 20 and I feel my life has no meaning and im just not fullfilling it with enough nature.
After watching 127 hours, it inspired me to go out to the Real world and see how beautiful
natural life is. I want to experience first hand of a real warrior. Of course im gonna be
smart about it and bring survival equipments. But does anyone else do this by themselves
when their bored?
Best answer:
Answer by Jordan
I go hiking by myself all the time, although I would never go for more than a day at a time
because of how risky it is (don‟t want to end up like the 127 hours guy) to be in the
wilderness alone. Also, don‟t get to caught up in buying alot of equipment and trying to
bring it with you on every hike. Equipment can get expensive, and wearing a heavy pack
can really detract from the fun of the outdoors.
What I usually pack for a dayhike (I use the Kelty Redwing 3100, found it on
campmor.com for $ 50, great multi-purpose pack)
1) First aid including bandages/band-aids, alchol wipes, scissors, tweezers, gauze,
moleskin, and sting relief pads
2) Pocket knife (ontario RAT-1)
3) Larger knife (SOG Seal pup elite)
4) 1 gallon of water for every 8 miles I plan to hike + 16oz for an emergency
5) Whatever meals I plan to eat on the way plus a jar of Jiffy peanut butter incase I get
lost and need calories
6) Rain jacket
7) Lighter and swedish firesteel Multi-tool (Leatherman Juice C2)
9) Whistle (Fox 40)
10) Map and compass
11) Flashlight and back-up lights (Fenix LD20, Mag-lite 2D, Mag-lite Minimag)
12) Spare socks
13) 100ft of 550 cord
14) A roll of regular twine
15) 3 Glow sticks (like the ones people use at rave parties, or little kids have at holloween)
-All of these things packed in the bag way around 30 lbs for a typical dayhike, with most
of the weight coming from food and water.

Question by Sara H: How can I get tickets to the beer tents at Oktoberfest in
Munich?
I hear you need special tickets to get into the hiking camping tents, and that they are now
sold out?! What should I do? Anyone been to Oktoberfest? Any advice? THANKS!!!
Best answer:
Answer by conley39
You don‟t need special tickets to get into the tents, but the tents get very crowded and if
you don‟t have a reservation, you may have to wait to get in and may not be able to get a
seat. We go every year and never have reservations, but we go in the tents early when they
open in the morning. You can stay until the afternoon reservations start arriving (4-5
pm). Week days are better than weekends for finding a spot, but there are always huge
crowds.
Reservations are generally sold out a year in advance – you‟re very unlikely to find
anything at this late date. You might try some of the tour agencies though. Personally, I
like the Ochsenbraterei

Question by Angel Eyes: Does anybody know a cheap campsite for tents in
Tenby or Saundersfoot?
It must be a site that accepts tents and not just caravans or mobile homes.
Best answer:
Answer by SHARON P
Maybe not the cheapest place, but certainly the best site I have stayed at is Kiln park. It
has all the facilities you would expect to find at a Haven site (club, restaurant, shops etc)
and it‟s really close to the beach. Tenby town centre is only a short walk along the beach
too, tide permitting of course.

Apikuni Falls Hike
Question by pinkblood19: I want to loose 40 pounds?
i want to loose 40 pounds by November….is that possible?
i go hiking 4 days a week…its usually an hour walk…
and 2 days ago i started doing exercises with one of those big exercise balls…it takes me
bout 40 minutes to finish all of them.. ( a poster comes with the ball that tell you all
different sorts of exercises..)
any suggestions on what else i should be doing?
Best answer:
Answer by Kate
Totally doable. You would need to lose 2lbs a week which is well within the safety
guidelines. You may want to track your food eaten and make sure that you are drinking
tonnes of water.
www.sparkpeople.com Is a great place to get started and it has a meal planner / calorie
counter. Good luck!

creator. Entry from: Torres del Paine, Chile Entry Title: “Hiking the ” Entry: “I had
originally planned to stay only 1-2 days in Puerto Natales, the gateway to Torres del Paine
National Park. But as I met many other travellers, it was clear that I needed to spend
some time doing one of the ´circuit´ hikes in the park. I was fortunate to have met a
Korean couple in Ushuaia and we agreed to meet in Puerto Natales and do the ´W´
circuit together. Torres del Paine is the most famous and most photographed park in
Chile. The centerpiece is the actual Torres del Paine (Paine Towers) which are 3 towers
which emanate vertically from the rocks below. The French Valley is known for its bowl
like shape with the surrounding Cuernos and Cumbres looking down upon it. On the
western edge is Glacier Grey, which is about 4.5miles wide at its widest point and
stretches back to the Campo de Hielo Sur (Southern Ice Field), one of the largest ice fields
outside of the north and south poles. We did the W in 5 days and we hiked a total of
80km (50mi). The weather on the first day was very windy with a little rain, but the
weather was great for the rest of the trip. It was cold at night but the days were nice, with
some level of wind. The circuit was amazing! The views were spectactular and unspoiled.

friend noticed him sitting there, he had pulled his running shoes out of his backpack and
was putting them on.
His friend said, “What are you doing ?”
His friend pointed up the trail to reveal the bear coming towards them slowly but surely.
He said,” Man you‟re crazy. There‟s no way you can outrun that bear!!”
As he was standing up, his friend said, ” I don‟t have to outrun the bear, I just have to
outrun you!”

Inside Smart hiking Mountain Tower
Question by MRCOOL: Is pet smart good for socializing my 8 month German
Shepherd puppy?
So basically when my dog was a younger puppy I could only find small dogs to play with
him but he met sooooo many of my friends and family, short and tall he met them all. But
a week and half of bad weather kept us inside he started to get scared of tall people but
was still okay with small children and friends that were average height but then another
two weeks later he started to bark in a low tone but not lunging or growling, nothing to
show signs of aggression. He is trained to the point where he‟ll track with his nose,sit,stay
to a certain point, lay down, speak on command and shake paws. Hes very friendly to
friends cautious of big people as was demonstrated at pet smart where he started barking
at everyone. But when a small dog passed by he was waggin his tail and wanted to play.
When I signed up for training the trainer told me he just needed to get used to many
situations and even suggested to join her facebook page called (paws on the shore) where
he would meet many other dogs and situations on a hike. So I‟m wondering does it seem
like a good training plan for my scaredy cat shepherd. If not please tell me of better
training place near york region or Toronto, that you have experienced. Thank You.

The socialisation period ended when Pup became 13 weeks old, although if well started
before that it can continue through 16 weeks old.
Although everyone calls it “socialisation”, that is actually a bad term, deluding people
such as yourself into thinking it means playing with people & pups. A more accurate term
would be exposure or familiarisation. The purpose is to (once Pup trusts you) expose it –
from a distance PUP considers safe – to every movement, reflection, scent, sight, sound,
texture to be found in its environment. It should be done on a 6ft/2m lead where there
are NO dogs running loose, with Pup allowed to try to “explore in all directions at once”
except when you need to haul it away from dangerous or disgusting things, or from a
scared human. And if Pup wants to sit & think about a new thing, or to hide behind you,
you should let it, patiently waiting still & silent until Pup decides to ignore or investigate
this new thing, whereupon you praise it – and, if it is still close enough, give it a rub or
pat of encouragement.
