During my adult life I have spent more nights outdoors than in.
I have served as an outdoor guide, educator, conservationist, researcher, crew leader and enthusiast from the bear-chomps of Alaska to the rock-falls of canyon country.
Currently working at a remote research station deep in the rain forest of Borneo studying primate ecology.

How can I hike across the Grand Canyon if I don't have a backcountry permit? I suggest a better question title like "What are my options for hiking the corridor of the Grand Canyon when the permits are already full?" or the like. This is the nature of your question, but the title is more general - and the answer to that is: Yes, there are alternatives to established campgrounds - just not in the corridor (where you want to hike). |

Which will keep my food colder longer, draining the melted ice water, or leaving it in the cooler? Awesome - great work - definite +1 for putting the effort in. 2 questions: 1) where was the thermometer? (Near the beer? On the bottom (submersed) or floating on the water?) 2) What was the ambient temperature doing outside during this period? And 3) Any interest in replicating about a dozen times or so? :) Thanks for the contribution |

What are some things to keep in mind when stealth camping? In Texas, I believe being on someone's property without permission puts them well within their rights to shoot you. (And Texans already don't much care for men who wear spandex.) <-- Note, this second bit is not just stereotyping, I grew up in Texas, and have bike toured / "stealth-camped" there. |

Which careers allow working in the wild on a daily basis? You think we want more competition for these jobs? ;) |

Which careers allow working in the wild on a daily basis? Good candidate for a community wiki? I'm sure there will be lots of additions. Give this man his rep (mark it dude) for taking the plunge and let everyone expand on it? |
