Download or read book The Complete Walker IV written by Colin Fletcher and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 947 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time since 1984, we have a new edition of the classic book that Field & Stream called “the Hiker’s Bible.” For this version, the celebrated writer and hiker Colin Fletcher has taken on a coauthor, Chip Rawlins, himself an avid outdoorsman and a poet from Wyoming. Together, they have made this fourth edition of The Complete Walker the most informative, entertaining, and thorough version yet. The eighteen years since the publication of The Complete Walker III have seen revolutionary changes in hiking and camping equipment: developments in waterproofing technology, smaller and more durable stoves, lighter boots, more manageable tents, and a wider array of food options. The equipment recommendations are therefore not merely revised and tweaked, but completely revamped. During these two decades we have also seen a deepening of environmental consciousness. Not only has backpacking become more popular, but a whole ethic of responsible outdoorsmanship has emerged. In this book the authors confidently lead us through these technological, ethical, and spiritual changes. Fletcher and Rawlins’s thorough appraisal and recommendation of equipment begins with a “Ground Plan,” a discussion of general hiking preparedness. How much to bring? What are the ideal clothes, food, boots, and tents for your trip? They evaluate each of these variables in detail—including open, honest critiques and endorsements of brand-name equipment. Their equipment searches are exhaustive; they talk in detail about everything from socks to freeze-dried trail curries. They end as they began, with a philosophical and literary disquisition on the reasons to walk, capped off with a delightful collection of quotes about walking and the outdoor life. After a thoughtful and painstaking analysis of hiking gear from hats to boots, from longjohns to tent flaps, they remind us that ultimately hiking is about the experience of being outdoors and seeing the green world anew. Like its predecessors, The Complete Walker IV is an essential purchase for anyone captivated by the outdoor life.
Download or read book Walking the Tightrope written by Monica A. Dixon and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-01-18 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is divided into three main sections in order to address the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects all of us experience as a part of being human. Each section builds on the previous, but also stands on its own. Section I helps you look at where you are now. You will assess your current life on the "Wheel of Life" in order to pinpoint your strengths and problem areas. As a working mom, it becomes easy to see the microscopic, day-to-day view of your life, but much harder to see the macroscopic, or whole. Often clients who have done this exercise will remark, "You know, I've been so busy working that I forget that I need time to exercise," or "I keep working out at the gym and have forgotten that I need to spend some time praying, too." In Section II, you will learn positive ways to nurture both yourself and your family's health to help you perform at an optimum level. I consider this the building block to leading a balanced life because without good health, little else matters. Without the energy to get out of bed in the morning, you'll pay minimal attention to your emotional or spiritual needs, let alone be able do a fair job at being a mom, partner or employee. Section III provides ideas to help you manage your emotional health, including simple ideas to stay sane as a parent, how to manage your relationships with others and ideas for becoming more financially secure. Section IV targets the spiritual side of being a woman, an area that often goes overlooked in the craziness of our lives. You'll learn ways to integrate and nurture your spirituality to lead a fuller, more engaged and intuitive life.
