Camping/Outdoors

Camping / Outdoors
- Live off the Land for a week (Catching my own fish, hunting, ect.) ~ Idea from a Backpacker Magazine.
- Live in the Wilderness for a Month ~ Idea from Backpacker Magazine, as well as my many camping trips that I thought ended too quickly.
- Go Camping in every Month of the Year. ~ Growing up and living in Manitoba I was always disapointted that the camping season was so short, as well as the idea of camping while others people think that its too cold to go camping and that there wouldn't be others at the campground made me want to do this.
- Be able to start a fire without a lighter or matches. ~ After being lost with only one match I thought that knowing how to use a fire starting tool such as a firesteel or a flint & magnesium fire starter
- Take a city kid camping (the child's first time camping) ~ Outside Magazine and Backpacker Magazine.
- Spend the Night in a Tree ~ Outside Magazine.
- Learn how to use a Compass ~ Added after getting lost in the Wilderness with 3 friends for over 5 hours. Know the basics but figured I should leanr how to use it properly.
- Learn how to use a GPS Unit (global positioning system) ~ Same as Compass
- Sleep on a beach.~ Idea came from looking at Sunrise and Sunset pictures of exotic beaches, as well as Outside Magazine.
- Climb a Waterfall. ~ Outside Magazine
- Spend a Night in a Fire Tower. ~ Idea came while researching an up coming trip to Montana
- Build a Igloo or Quinzee and Sleep in it. ~ Built many snow forts as a kid but never spent the night in one.
- See the Aurora Borealis with somebody that has never seen them before. ~ After moving to Texas and talking to people here about the Northern Lights and realizing that many people down here have never even heard of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.
- Watch the Ocean Tides Change. ~ I guess this one came from a documentary I watched when I was young. (If there is a female sports team called the Tides I would like to watch them change as well)
- Go Spelunking or Caving. ~ I'm not certain of this one but I think from watching movies
- Witness a Big League Animal Migration (Bald Eagles, Whooping Cranes, Grey Whales, Monarch Butterfly, Caribou, Salmon, Seals, Sea Turtles, Wildebeest, Serengeti Migration) ~ TV Documentaries.
- Encounter a ......., on its Home Turf (Snow Leopard, Silverback Gorilla, Water Buffalo, Tiger, Lion, Giraffe, Zebra, Elephant, Gorilla, Grizzly Bear) ~ National Geographic Magazine and Documentaries.
- Camp in every Province & Territory in Canada. ~ Always wanted to travel across Canada
- Go on a Canoe Trip. ~ First inspired by the book Paddle to the Amazon, when I was a child and then again by the movie Deliverance (no I don't want to squeal like a pig) when I was a 16.
