| ultralight backpacking tips: Before They're Gone Michael Lanza, 2012-04-03 A longtime backpacker, climber, and skier, Michael Lanza knows our national parks like the back of his hand. As a father, he hopes to share these special places with his two young children. But he has seen firsthand the changes wrought by the warming climate and understands what lies ahead: Alaska’s tidewater glaciers are rapidly retreating, and the abundant sea life in their shadow departs with them. Encroaching tides threaten beloved wilderness coasts like Washington’s Olympic and Florida’s Everglades. Less snowfall and hotter summers will diminish Yosemite’s world-famous waterfalls. And it is predicted that Glacier National Park’s 7,000-year-old glaciers will be gone in a decade. To Lanza, it feels like the house he grew up in is being looted. Painfully aware of the ecological—and spiritual—calamity that global warming will bring to our nation’s parks, Lanza sets out to show his children these wonders before they have changed forever. He takes his nine-year-old son, Nate, and seven-year-old daughter, Alex, on an ambitious journey to see as many climate-threatened wild places as he can fit into a year: backpacking in the Grand Canyon, Glacier, the North Cascades, Mount Rainier, Rocky Mountain, and along the wild Olympic coast; sea kayaking in Alaska’s Glacier Bay; hiking to Yosemite’s waterfalls; rock climbing in Joshua Tree National Park; cross-country skiing in Yellowstone; and canoeing in the Everglades. Through these poignant and humorous adventures, Lanza shares the beauty of each place and shows how his children connect with nature when given “unscripted” time. Ultimately, he writes, this is more their story than his, for whatever comes of our changing world, they are the ones who will live in it. |

| ultralight backpacking tips: Around the World in 80 Girls Neil Skywalker, 2015-04-03 ***Warning*** This is not the 2012 bestselling travel book Around the World in 80 Girls - The Epic 3 Year Trip of a backpacking Casanova This is the screenplay based on that book in original screenplay size. Leaving his small country of The Netherlands, Neil Skywalker took a risk and embarked on a three-year, 42-country experimental excursion. With a shy demeanor and limited budget, Skywalker overcame his approach anxiety, navigated foreign countries, and most importantly, learned to close the deal on hot women across the globe. After completing his epic tale of adventure, love, hard-learned lessons-and yes, even heartbreak, Neil wrote a bestselling book and a screenplay based on his popular travel adventure for men. Skywalker's next endeavor took him from Holland to Hollywood in what turned out to be a short and dramatic tale of hopes and dreams, golden but broken promises, nice offers and paychecks but no movie.
