| bearikade weekender: The Complete Walker IV Colin Fletcher, Chip Rawlins, 2015-11-17 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. |

| bearikade weekender: Beethoven Was One-Sixteenth Black Nadine Gordimer, 2007-11-27 You're not responsible for your ancestry, are you . . . But if that's so, why have marched under banned slogans, got yourself beaten up by the police, arrested a couple of times; plastered walls with subversive posters . . . The past is valid only in relation to whether the present recognizes it. In this collection of new stories, Beethoven Was One-Sixteenth Black, Nadine Gordimer crosses the frontiers of politics, memory, sexuality, and love with the fearless insight that is the hallmark of her writing. In the title story a middle-aged academic who had been an anti-apartheid activist embarks on an unadmitted pursuit of the possibilities for his own racial identity in his great-grandfather's fortune-hunting interlude of living rough on diamond diggings in South Africa, his young wife far away in London. Dreaming of the Dead conjures up a lunch in a New York Chinese restaurant where Susan Sontag and Edward Said return in surprising new avatars as guests in the dream of a loving friend. The historian in History is a parrot who confronts people with the scandalizing voice reproduction of quarrels and clandestine love-talk on which it has eavesdropped. Alternative Endings considers the way writers make arbitrary choices in how to end stories—and offers three, each relating the same situation, but with a different resolution, arrived at by the three senses: sight, sound, and smell. |
| bearikade weekender: The Calling Rha Goddess, 2020-01-21 A game-changing book offering a six-step approach on how to find and follow your true calling and redefine success from entrepeneur and soul coach Rha Goddess. Every single one of us has a calling. For most people, it is the thing you have to force yourself not to do. When you ignore it, it is the thing that weighs on you and consumes your conscience until you give it its due. It is the thing that both terrifies you and brings you the most joy. Already living yours? Great! How do you make the most of it? Have a sneaking suspicion your best is yet to come? The Calling will provide readers with a road map, in six steps, on how to do good, stay true and get paid, like: Step 1: Recognizing, it always begins with awareness. If you can’t see it then you can’t do anything about it. Step 2: Accepting, embracing, and taking responsibility for yourself, your life, and the things that want or need to be changed. Step 3: Forgiving yourself and others. And more. The Calling will teach readers how to find their calling and redefine success not as a scarce commodity, but as a hidden quality waiting to be unlocked as soon as we learn to live in alignment with our true selves. The Calling will be the resource that people have been asking Rha to write for years, and there has never been a better time for her to share her proven six step method. |
