I used to think that Madagascar was a mysterious island full of strange endemic species and dense exotic forests Turns out the island is over 97% deforested and all the native wildlife is confined to tiny national parks dotted around the island while the rest of the land is slashed and burned to sustain a useless third world population and to line the checkbooks of foreign corporations Really shattered my world view. There truly is no wild space left in the world
Anyone else just got into hiking to flex their wealth on the less fortunate? I legitimately love going into the mountains and flex my full arcteryx fits on people, I don't even like hiking.
I'm going to confess. I don't hunt for food. Not for sport either. I like the killing. I'm so ashamed I'm like this. Everytime I kill an animal, I feel so alive. Isn't this wrong and immoral? This is murder and I'm enjoying every moment of it. I don't even use the carcasses. I just leave them for the vultures. When the season's over, I just feel hollow. I've been fined for shooting into my local pond for trying to shoot the fish. Do other hunters feel like this?
They found who hung the flag and fired “them.” The flag was a big news story to outdoor enthusiasts, as it took place in one of the most iconic national park on the planet. It violates both laws pertaining to the outdoors (protesting inside of national parks) as well as LNT principles. It also involves a well known outdoor internet celebrity: Pattie Gonia.
>Among the climbers who helped hang the transgender flag was Pattie Gonia, an environmentalist and drag queen who uses the performance art to raise awareness of conservation issues. For the past five years, Gonia has helped throw a Pride event in Yosemite for park employees.
Living in a town where bears roam around more lately, would you still go for walks? The locals do. The thing is that I don't have a vehicle and just walk places with my 2 little ones if husband is out of town and takes our car. This year is awful berries wise so bears are just hungry. Bears don't even care about noise or seeing people. I feel absolutely terrible keeping my little ones indoors all day long. My husband has to travel lots so those are quite a few days just the three of us here. I am even wondering if there is something I could wear, a kind of structure where I pull a string and something could pop up making me look huge. I feel like the worst mama ever, just keeping our kiddos inside. Even going to the playground behind our place makes me nervous.
Why aren't there any travel vloggers who just do aimless walkabouts across some country to the most random villages or towns and drinking beer along the way?
