There are famous instances of people keeping journals throughout time. Of course, Anne Frank?s Diary is the best example. In her diary, Anne kept a running commentary of the two years her family spent hiding from the Nazis. While your backpacking experiences better be more lighthearted, keeping a journal will let you remember them as the years pass.
A good backpacking journal combines a number of characteristics. First, it should be compact so you don?t have to take up unnecessary space for other things. Second, it should have a case to protect it from rain, spills and so on. Third, the journal should contain blank areas to write your notes. Fourth, the journal should contain cue spaces to remind you to keep notes on specific things. Cues should include:
1. Who you went backpacking with,
2. Where you backpacked and if you enjoyed it,
3. Who you met and contact information for them,
4. The geographic and weather conditions,
5. Routes you tried and how far you made it, and
6. Any unique things that occurred while backpacking.
At the end of the trip, you should be able to get the following from your journal:
1. Contact information for other backpackers and people you met,
2. Enough detail to provide you or a friend with a guide if you backpack the location a second time.
3. Memories to reflect upon years later, and
4. Something to pass on to your friends, children and grandchildren.
To get the most out of your backpacking journal, you should write in it during backpacking breaks or immediately after. Every trip is special, even if you just go out for a weekend.
Backpacking is a great way to commune with nature. Make sure to preserve the experience.

Latest Fishing Technology And Fishing Gears
Latest Fishing Technology And Fishing Gears
by: Dylan Miles
Fish finder
Imagine you?re sitting out there on your fishing boat, you whip out a cool gadget you just bought from the Internet and after a couple of beeps, the device tells you that there is a school of fish some 3 meters or so away from you. Now, how cool can that be? It?s almost like an ultrasound scan of the sea or the lake that tells you exactly where the fish are.
But of course, this is not news because many different companies have developed their own ultrasound-like fish finding gadgets a long time ago. But Maptech?s new i3 module is the first of its kind. It?s the first ever touch screen, hi-resolution 3D Fishfinger. Yes, you can literally see the kind of fish that?s swimming around under your boat, in super clear images and in real time.
The i3 Touch Screen command on the fishing gadget can help you navigate the floor of the lake or sea with a radar, combine...

Hide Your Need For Reading Correction With No Line Bifocal Reading Glasses
Hide Your Need For Reading Correction With No Line Bifocal Reading Glasses
by: Steve Cogger
The mention of bifocal glasses can cause one to build a mental picture of an old person, possibly Grandma or Grandpa.
The idea that you need bifocals may seem damaging to your ego - you might feel like you are getting old and everyone will notice. This is just not true anymore. New innovations in lenses have produced a new no-line bifocal.
Reading glasses often become a must for those over forty due to a natural condition called presbyopia.
Presbyopia is a hardening of the eyes lens that decreases its flexibility, causing problems with nearsightedness.
People who do not wear glasses for other vision issues will correct the problem by buying a pair of reading glasses.
If you wear glasses normally your doctor will suggest adding a bifocal to your normal lens.
Bifocal lenses have a small section of the lens made...

Journal ? Rock Climbs
Journal ? Rock Climbs
by: Rick Chapo
Rock climbing is a great way to challenge yourself and get a heck of a view. Alas, your experiences can fade with time. The best way to prevent this is to keep a journal for rock climbs.
Journal ? Rock Climbs
Take a minute to give some consideration to your most recent rock climbing experience. What sticks out in your mind? Did you go bouldering at Joshua Tree for the weekend? Hit Red River Gorge in Kentucky? Now think about the first time you ever went rock climbing. Undoubtedly, you remember few things about the geography, people you went with and the particular rock climbing routes. The experiences you?ve forgotten are lost to time. If you keep a rock climbing journal, this won?t be the case.
A good rock climbing journal combines a number of characteristics. First, it should be compact so you don?t have to take up unnecessary space for other things. Second, it should have a case to protect it...

Happiness Without Prescription
Happiness Without Prescription
by: Heather J. Tait
As life and lifestyles speed up, so does the growing increase of the sense of longing, wandering just what else is there for ourselves, our families. Some people address their thoughts and feelings as valid and some do the exact opposite, they act as if those questions don't exist.
For those that avoid the inner questions, they tend to feel uncertainty, depression, and weighed down. Then they seem to wonder what is wrong with them. The truth is, nothing is wrong, their bodies are doing exactly what they were intended to do... alert you that something in your life needs attention.
Our bodies are amazing because they really do work together with our personal well-being. When we take care of ourselves, our bodies function as they should naturally. When we subject ourselves to negative behaviors and lifestyles, our bodies pay the price. You may not be able to always see the repercussions of...

A Tickler File For Sales And Networking
by: Stephen Labuda
If you are involved in sales, fundraising or just an active networker, you have probably tried a variety of tools to manage your contact list and remind yourself to stay in touch with all of the prospects and people you meet. This tickler file is designed to be an inexpensive, effective, tool that can be used by salespeople in a variety of different types of organizations.
This tickler file uses inexpensive index cards and a simple file box. You will need the following items to create your own index card sales tool. I found everything I needed at my local office supply store. The total cost was around $25.00.
- A box to store the index cards
- Monthly 3" by 5" index tabs
- Daily (1-31) 3" by 5" index tabs
- Alphabetical 3" by 5" index tabs
- A ton of white ruled 3" by 5" index cards (you don't need a photo, right?)
- A bunch...
