Intrepid Travel Peru – Story 1
Lake Titicaca has fascinated me ever since I was a child. Imagine living on man-made reed islands in the largest lake in South America and could the color of the water really be so dark blue that it is nearly purple? I couldn’t believe I was going to actually experience a Titicaca island home stay!
After heading out from Puno harbor in a motor boat, we stopped to explore the floating Uros Islands – built from many layers of totora reeds that grow in lake. It was here I met the Aymara speaking inhabitants, tried some river salmon and re-hydrated potatoes, joined in some games with local kids, climbed up the small viewing tower and browsed the museum filled with cases of stuffed regional of birds.
As we cruised to our overnight destination we marveled at the huge expanse of water in every direction. It was with great excitement I stepped on to the rich red soil of Amantani Island. I had been billeted out to a local family with another female Intrepid traveler.
Our home for tonight was at Mummy Melani’s and after a welcoming smile and brief introduction, we headed off on foot together. She was dressed in the traditional brightly colored multi-layered skirts, embroidered white shirt and black sandals made from discarded tire rubber. A small scarf covered her hair. She was a delight!
At 3,800 meters (12,467 feet) above sea level, the short walk took some time. As I stopped every few steps and gasped for air, our host looked on, mildly amused and with great patience. As we walked in through the courtyard, a small main adobe house to the right and our quarters to the left came into view.
A tiny wooden staircase led to the door and inside to our room. Two single beds with a table and chair. There were 5 alpaca blankets on each bed; a sign of things to come. No electricity, running water or plumbing. The squat outhouse was a short distance through the vegetable patch and doorless. It faced into the neighbors, and yes, they were all smiles when I went for a visit later that day, torch in one hand and paper in the other.
We settled in comfortably with an early dinner of fried eggs with potato wedges accompanied by lovely flower tea. Our host and her eldest daughter had prepared the meal over an outside fire.
My roommate and I sat out on the landing; the sun was shining and the view spectacular. We wandered to the water’s edge and were surprised at the pastel colors of the stones that had washed ashore. It was getting dark and the temperature was dropping rapidly.
At 8pm our group met up at the local hall on the island for the evening’s entertainment that had been arranged by our host families. There was beer and soft drink, music and dancing. As Quechua is the main language on Amantani, conversation was limited to a few words of Spanish and lots of hand signals and facial gestures.
The traditional folk dancing was fantastic but exhausting at that altitude. With tired but happy spirits we walked home with Mummy Melani. It was freezing so we were quick into bed and under the blankets that were heavy but very effective. Sleep came quickly.
Daybreak streamed through the small uncovered windows. I was anxious to leave the warmth of my bed. A quick wash of the face and a dash into our clothes; we were ready to meet up at the pier. Our homestay had come to an end. It was an unforgettable unique experience and one that would be relived many times in my memories and when chatting to family and friends.
Intrepid Travel Peru Story 2
Our group arrived in Puerto Maldonado after the flight from Cuzco. A short bus ride to the main jetty and then we boarded a motorized canoe for the journey ahead. For the next two days, home would be an eco-tourism lodge located on the Tambopata River within Tambopata Candamo Reserve.
After settling in to our bungalow, I was ready for some adventure. Off to meet up with our local guide and then a nature walk through the secondary rainforest. Light filtered through the dense canopy of trees as we made our way through the lush undergrowth that thrived in the heavily humid conditions.
Out came the binoculars and ornithology book so we could identify the varied birdlife. A tarantula hovered around his hole in the dirt and sounds of rainforest life were all around us. I saw a small furry creature scurry by my feet, perhaps a capybara? Rodents are big in South America!
After a good breakfast the next morning and a short boat ride further upriver, our guide led us on a 2 hour walk through the primary rainforest. He explained that many of the large species can be rare, shy, unpredictable and very difficult to see. The birds were easy to spot when we reached the clay licks. The macaws and other species of parrots and parakeets make their way to these salt deposits as it helps with their digestion.
We climbed into small canoes to paddle out on the lake for a closer look at the rainbow of colors high in the trees. Scarlet, red and green, red-bellied and many more; all flapping their wings and talking incessantly to each other. Butterflies in abundance; brilliant blues and some as big as the palm of my hand!
As the skies opened up and a torrent of rain teemed down, I started to think we had little chance of spotting a jaguar, then I could think of nothing except the piranha below in the murky water. Needless to say it was a fast paddle back to land before our canoe started taking in water!
The hike out was fantastic. By this stage we were completely drenched by the tropical downpour but fortunately cameras were protected in plastic bags in our packs. The trees towered above us, dark and mysterious with minimal light. The smells were amazing. Deep breaths; a chance to fill the lungs with this magical air. I couldn’t wipe the grin from my face, even though I was trying not to fall over in the mud.
As hard as I looked, the elusive jaguar was not to be seen. We had all strained our eyes in search of large sleeping cats with limbs outstretched and tails resting against tree trunks. They hid from us, but fortunately our efforts that day would not go unrewarded. Back at camp and in a dry change of clothes, after dinner we headed out for some caiman spotting and couldn’t believe our luck. Near these small alligators in the muddy river, lounging by the water’s edge was a cat in all its glory. It was more than a little camera shy and made a quick escape into the river as we approached… but what a brilliant experience!

climate change
Climate change is one of the most critical issues the world is facing today. Scientists are telling us that we must act with urgency to reduce our carbon emissions if we are going to stop catastrophic irreversible impacts to our precious home.
Here at Intrepid Travel, we’ve taken a long hard look at all our operations and have initiated various actions to reduce our contributions to global warming. We’re also endeavoring to help empower our staff and travellers to participate in emissions reductions measures.
carbon neutral
In December 2006, Intrepid Travel announced the goal of becoming a carbon neutral company in 2010. It was a massive goal but we are proud to say that we have achieved it! We’re pretty chuffed to be able to announce that Intrepid Travels business emissions (globally) are now carbon neutral and will have (net) zero carbon emissions from 2010 and every year there after!
In our journey toward carbon neutrality, Intrepid Travel underwent a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of our business. This was to help us recognize our impacts and identify the main sources of carbon emissions from our operations. From this process, we identified that our corporate emissions (offices and retail stores- globally), our trips and the flights that our passengers take to join an Intrepid tour, were our main sources of carbon emissions. We needed to come up with a way to address these areas and so the Carbon Management Plan was created.
our carbon management plan in a nutshell
Intrepid Travel carbon management plan is made up of the following principles:
A. Measure
This principle involves reviewing what Intrepid Travel already measures and understanding what we need to measure and monitor in order to be carbon neutral. We identified what we need to be measured by:
- reviewing CO2 data we were already capturing
- setting our organizational and operational boundaries boundaries (ie what emissions were we responsible for)
- creating a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory. The inventory is just a compilation of the different sources (within our boundary) which produce emissions that contribute to Climate Change (ie- electricity, business travel, waste etc).
As identified in the LCA, we concentrate on capturing data relating to our:
- corporate emissions
- trips
- passenger flights
B. Avoid/Reduce
This principle involves Intrepid Travel looking at activities through which emissions can either be avoided. eg. not having a light on in a vacant room or be reduced which decreases the intensity of the carbon emissions from activities that often can not be avoided. (eg. making lighting more efficient through the use of “greener” globes, using a more fuel efficient vehicle etc)
For emissions stemming from all Intrepid Travel offices/retail stores (this includes offshore companies where Intrepid has operational/policy control), Intrepid has put together a list of practical ways in which our offices and stores can avoid or reduce their footprint, including switching to an alternative energy source that may include sourcing from renewable sources or by exchanging fuel sources so that GHG impact is minimized eg. Converting to green energy to power the office.
With Intrepid Travel trips – they are low impact relative to other group travel due to their design. We travel in small groups, use local transport where we can and encourage our passengers to eat and shop in local eateries and stores.
Flights – we offer passengers an opportunity to offset their flights when they book their airfare through Intrepid to try and reduce total net impact of the trip. All Intrepid Travel staff flights for business are offset
C. Assess
This principle is used to reconcile all the actions and initiatives to reducing our carbon footprint and match them up to our objectives. Are we achieving our reduction targets? If not, a review will need to be conducted and new, feasible reduction opportunities will need to be sought.
D. Offset
A carbon offset is any project or initiative that indirectly reduces GHG emissions at one source by investing in GHG emissions reductions elsewhere – effectively balancing out GHG emissions.
Intrepid Travel offsets
- all residual emissions from its offices and stores (globally)
- all Intrepid trips (where Intrepid maintains pricing control)
- offers offsets on flights for passengers booking their airfare through Intrepid
Intrepid Travel ensures that the offsets purchased are:
- cost effective
- have accreditation according to a recognized international standard
- offered by an offset provider who is independently verified
- able to offer other benefits as well as carbon offsetting such as local employment or other economic contribution to the local communities where the projects are based (preferred but not essential)
Offsets are reviewed annually and information regarding the rigor in the science and methodologies as well as the providers behind offset products will be monitored.
This plan will see Intrepid Travel manage our carbon emissions and minimize our negative impact on the environment.
Want to give something back to the wonderful places where you have travelled? You can through The Intrepid Foundation. By contributing to one of the many projects supported by The Intrepid Foundation, you can make a difference in local communities – in health care, education, human rights, child welfare and in environmental and wildlife protection.
two ways you can help…
The Intrepid Community Project Fund
Donations to this fund go to the grassroots work of non-government organizations based in Intrepid Travel’s operating areas and identified as making a valuable contribution to the local community. These include many small organizations or projects that you may visit during your Intrepid trip.
The Intrepid Perpetual Support Fund account
The Intrepid Perpetual Support Fund account has been developed by The Intrepid Foundation Incorporated in conjunction with the Charities Aid Foundation Australia. All donations made to this account are equally divided each year: half is retained to conserve and grow capital for funding projects into the future and half is distributed to our current partner international non-government organizations.
All donations to both funds are matched by Intrepid Travel dollar for dollar.
Intrepid Travel trips are designed to go off the beaten track, meet the locals and travel in an unconventional way, joining locals on their transport, in their markets and even in their homes
Not only is Intrepid Travel a leader in small group adventure trips but it’s online efforts have also been receiving attention of late with its Facebook page recently being named the Winner of Social Media Examiner, Top 10 Small Business Facebook Pages.
In December 2011 Intrepid Travel announced its partnership with bloggers, Planet D who Huffington Post has listed as one of the Top Travel Blogs to Discover.
“Our passengers are avid travellers. They eat, drink, breath travel! If they’re not travelling they are searching for inspiration for their next trip. Bloggers are a source of both information and inspiration for them so connecting with this online community is hugely important to us. We’re looking forward to Travel Bloggers Unite and to hearing more about the travel blogging community,” said Robyn Nixon, General Manager of Global Marketing at Intrepid Travel
For travellers with a yearning to get off the beaten track, Intrepid Travel opens up a whole new world of adventure travel.

How To Use Fiverr
A quick video showing you the benefits of Fiverr
What IS Fiverr??
Fiverr.com is a huge online marketplace where thousands of people trade their products or services for $5 – that’s why it’s called Fiverr. Many people go to this site hoping to outsource some tasks related to their websites such as link building, webpage design, WP install, etc, for a very affordable price, of course because everything is sold for only 5 bucks!!.
Not only website related products/services, but you can also find various different products/service since there is almost no limitation, just use your imagination, and if you find something that you think could attract people’s interest then you can sell it there! It doesn’t have to be something serious or difficult, as long as you think that it’s something you can sell then you can sell it. If someone can sell a video of himself dancing in a hotdog suit for whatever song you want THAT MEANS YOU CAN SELL ANYTHING – this is true, I’m not kidding that gig is real and that video sells like hot cakes!!
The success of Fiverr has drawn interest for other sites to follow its footsteps, and now there are so many sites on the internet offering the same service. Gickbucks, Tenbux, Dealerr and Uphype are some of them. Not exactly like Fiverr, in these similar sites usually you can offer products/services for more than $5.
With the growing of such online marketplace, we can see a business opportunity here. Now you don’t have to be an expert in networking or becoming an internet geek to earn some extra earnings from the internet. Internet newbie’s who have been struggling to get extra income online without any results now have a great opportunity to make big bucks.
Big bucks? Is it possible from this $5/gig marketplace? Of course! If you can get a decent income from a $0.10 per click adsense what makes you think you cannot make good money from a $5/gig marketplace? Everything has its own way towards glory, if you really know what to do then $100/day from these sites is not an impossible thing to achieve.
The first thing that you need to do is to find a product/service to sell, which could be anything. According to my experience, there are two kinds of hot selling products in these marketplaces. First are website related products/services, like backlinks, design, installing, content creation, etc. Second are fun products, like dancing in a hotdog suit, happy birthday singing, funny videos, that kind of stuffs you get the idea.
When you already have a product/service then like any other online money making methods you’ll need a good amount of traffic. One of the best ways to get traffic to your gig is from within the site itself. Let’s say you’re posting a service on Fiverr, on this site there’s a feature where people can post their desired products/services (under Request Gigs section on the lower right of the screen), in other words people can post a request for a product/service they wish to buy, and I’m talking about potential buyers here.
These are the people that we know willing to spend money on Fiverr to buy products or services, so if you can bring them to your gig then you will have targeted traffic. What you need to do is contact these people from that “Request Gigs” section and ask a little detail about whatever their request is, but the important part is you put your gig URL under your message (on Fiverr bare URL in message is clickable) then after you ask them a question about their request you can say “meanwhile perhaps you would like to have a look of my existing gig, I have an interesting offer there, just click on the link below to find out”. Just be polite and do this for an hour or two everyday, I guarantee your gigs will get enough exposure.
I still have many “secrets” about maximizing your profits from these marketplaces that I’d love to share with you including how you can create a hot selling product even outside of your expertise area, believe me it’s a lot easier than you think, just visit my Fiverr Money Secrets article to find out.
Making money online can be a really hard thing to do considering all one has to do to make money online; Write articles, advertize on classifieds, social networking, social bookmarking, PayPal issues, networking and co. It truly can be a lot to do. Fiverr to me is the best and easiest way to make money online. If you have been making money online, then you can make more with Fiverr easily and if you have never made money online, I can guarantee you that with Fiverr, you will be making between $5 and $50 daily if you are serious about what you are doing.

Why Custom Logo Design Matters. Are You Satisfied?
Why custom logo design matters
With so many companies competing for the same clients, it’s becoming increasingly important to make sure that ALL aspects of your business are in tip-top shape, including your company logo.
You want a company logo that shouts professionalism and sincerity. Something that says your business is special. You’re not just credible, you’re the company to go to for your clients’ needs. You can’t establish that message with a generic logo. You need a custom logo that reflects the unique aspects of your businesses. After all, people do judge a book by its cover, and people do judge a business by its outer appearance.
Custom logo design vs. generic design
Any logo is generally better than no logo but in a world where busy customers make quick decisions, the better logo is going to make the better first impression, and could be the deciding factor for a client.
You want your logo to be attractive to your customers. For instance, if you’re a construction company specializing in Victorian houses, you want to show that romantic artistic flair with your logo. If you are a construction company with leanings toward modern, high-rise structures, you want that to be reflected. Any artist can draw a house for a construction company, and any clipart book will probably have standard icons, but your logo will be generic and non-specific.
You want your logo to reflect quality, professionalism, and the unique traits that make your company special. Make sure your logo tells your customers what you want them to see. It can make your business look bigger than it is.
Logoworks can help you
Logoworks helps you stand out from the crowd by giving you all the tools you need to get the perfect custom logo for you. Every one of our logo projects uses at least 2 designers; you’ll benefit from the creativity of having 2-5 designers working independently to give you variety.

Philip D. Russell reviews Touch TextBooks
Boulder, Colorado
I recently declared myself as a Political Science major at the Colorado State University in Boulder. Prior to setting my major, I expected to have one, maybe two books per class. Instead, quite a few of my classes are requiring us to buy 4 or 5 books at a time. I think one of the most frustrating things about this was that we were only reading 20 to 30 pages of each book, yet we were paying for each book in its entirety. This left me with a choice, and that was to either cough up $500 for all of my reading material, or look around for alternatives.
Initially I thought I could just make copies of the loaner books at the university library, but after a week of doing this the process quickly became tedious. Sure, I may have been paying several dollars per chapter, but it took time, and even then the quality of the copies made it difficult to use. At this point opting out to buy my textbooks online was going to take too long, and I also had to take into account the risk of never receiving my order. At this point I was running out of options and decided to start Googling other methods that students use to circumvent the purchasing of textbooks. I stumbled upon a couple new sites that offered textbooks online in PDF format. However, they were expensive, based overseas, and appeared to be illegal. Thus I was not comfortable handing over my personal information to them.
I ended up stumbling across a few decent reviews about Touch Textbooks. I am fairly sceptical about online reviews, as phony reviews are abundant on the internet. However, the reviews for Touch Textbook seemed plausible, and demonstrated a certain level of functionality that I couldn’t find elsewhere. I figured I could spare a little money to see if this worked. Registration and payment were safe and easy, and I was able to find all of the books I needed in a prompt manner, thanks to the well structured user interface. I also discovered that the service provides access through my Samsung Galaxy Tab, which I wouldn’t have even fathomed as everything these days is geared towards Apple products and the Kindle. This is great because I was originally planning on reading using my laptop, and also printing off my readings at the school library. Being able to download all my textbooks for free straight to my Samsung Galaxy makes the experience that much better, and I can certainly see myself remaining a member well throughout university.
College Textbooks: Why are they so expensive?
Summary: The high prices of college textbooks have been a continuous woe for students all around the world for many years. However, it is important to consider the reasons as to why to they are so expensive. After all, the high prices of the books are an impediment in the future of students, but a new-age solution to the problem can be found in the form of Touch Textbooks.
It’s a hard job to tell these days if anything has been able to escape the clutches of inflation. Its tentacles have reached up to our college textbooks, which can easily be termed as the staple requirements of all college students. The situation is scary especially for those students who are studying thanks to scholarships or compensation grants. However, what can be the reasons behind the immense cost of these books? It is a fact known to all, that without books, no educational course can be undertaken. Still, the prices of the educational books are incredibly high, whereas, a novel with similar publishing quality is priced very low. The extreme rise in the prices of college textbooks urges us to explore the possible reasons:
• The Situation of the Students
The students are at the receiving end of the textbooks price rise. They have no option but to purchase the books that have been recommended by the syllabus, or their professors. This is a factor exploited by the publishers. They are well aware of the ‘trapped’ situation of the students and in a drive to make hay while the sun shines, they determine high prices for the college textbooks.
• The Insensitivity of the Recommenders
Another factor that results in the high price of textbooks is that the people who recommend them or make them a part of the curriculum, are insensitive to the woes of the students. These are the professors and lecturers. They are just concerned about the latest knowledge being imparted to the students, for which they recommend high priced books to them. However, they do not realize that there are options like Touch Textbooks also open to them!
• The Profit-Making tendency of the Publishers
The last factor to play a role in this immense price rise of college textbooks is that of the publishers. They are the ones who bask in the heat that emerges from the other two factors mentioned above. Other than making use of the students’ necessity, they also make sure that the students cannot prolong the use of the books. This is done by releasing the newer editions of the same books with minor changes and accompaniments like CDs. Since the urge is always to gain the latest information, the students cannot reuse the books used by other students and have to shed bucks to buy fresh editions.
However, this mighty problem finds a solution in the form of Touch Textbooks. It is a website that provides students with eBook versions of more that 3 million college books across 5000 subjects. By using Touch Textbooks, students are able to carry their college textbooks that would have otherwise amounted to a hefty amount, in their tablets or smart phones itself! After paying just a small initial registration fee, the students can download as many textbooks that they want from this website without any additional cost. This is certainly the kind of freedom every student can appreciate to avoid the clutches of inflation and high prices.

What is MedjetAssist??
Global Travel Assistance.
MedjetAssist is a medical evacuation membership program that arranges medical transfer to the hospital of the member’s choice. If a Medjet member becomes hospitalized more than 150 miles from home and meets transport criteria, Medjet will arrange medical transfer to the hospital of their choice at no additional cost. All the member pays is their membership fee.
Do You Think You Are Fully Protected?
While your travel insurance and platinum card programs have important benefits, there may be medical evacuation restrictions that could leave you wishing you had additional protection. Medjet closes this gap:
Comparing Membership Services
MedjetAssist is a membership program, not a health insurance plan or travel insurance plan. As a membership program, it offers more and better services…and better value. Unlike the competition, MedjetAssist arranges medical evacuation and repatriation services for its members, both worldwide and domestically. Our members choose if they want to continue their hospital care at their home hospital, or any other hospital of their choice, through our network of authorized affiliates. And there are no additional costs to worry about and no limits on total medical evacuation expenses.
No Medical Necessity
MedjetAssist members are transferred without regard to medical necessity. This means members, as long as they are hospitalized as an inpatient, can choose to be transferred to another hospital, even if the facility they are in is considered adequate. The choice is theirs. It’s that simple!
In contrast, health and travel insurance plans and platinum card benefits require that a transfer be medically required. In other words, as long as the care at a hospital is deemed adequate, transferring to another hospital is not an option.
Home Hospital
MedjetAssist arranges medical evacuation and repatriation services to the member’s home hospital or hospital of their choice. The competition generally restricts transports to the nearest hospital that provides “appropriate care.” This means individuals are taken to a hospital the shortest distance away that has adequate care, but not necessarily the best care.
MedjetAssist members, if hospitalized, do not have to worry about being transferred to a nearby hospital in a foreign country that has only adequate medical care. Members choose if they want to fly home to their local hospital or hospital of their choice to receive the very best care and to be near their family.
No Cost Limits
MedjetAssist has no limit on the cost of a medical transfer. Many companies and insurance plans place caps, some as low as $25,000, on the total amount available for an air-ambulance. But a medical transfer between Europe and America can run more than $70,000. Middle East and South American flights range from $60,000 to $100,000. Transfer from Asia often exceeds $130,000.
Domestic Transfers
Only MedjetAssist arranges medical evacuation services within the United States as well as abroad. Travel insurance plans and platinum card benefits only cover travel in other countries. If a MedjetAssist member becomes ill or injured and is hospitalized while traveling 150 miles or more from their primary residence as listed on their membership in the U.S. or abroad, MedjetAssist will arrange transfer to the member’s home hospital, or the hospital of their choice. If a MedjetAssist Elite or Plus member is hospitalized in their hometown hospital and requires the services that only a specialty hospital (center of excellence) can provide, MedjetAssist will arrange medical transfer for that member to the specialty hospital, provided it is more than 150 miles from the member’s home hospital.
Benefits of Medjet Membership
Worldwide Evacuation and Repatriation
When a member becomes hospitalized as an inpatient due to an illness or injury while traveling 150 miles or more from home, either within or outside the contiguous United States, MedjetAssist will arrange medical evacuation and repatriation services to the hospital of the member’s choice by a MedjetAssist authorized affiliate.
Medical Referrals
MedjetAssist representatives will provide contact information for doctors and hospitals in the area in which the member is traveling. Telephone interpretation can also be provided when necessary. The selection and payment of the medical provider remain the member’s responsibility.
Medical Monitoring/Consultation
As soon as MedjetAssist is notified of a member’s medical situation, the medical staff will establish communication with both the family and the local attending medical provider, obtain a full understanding of the situation and begin to monitor the member’s condition. Medical professionals will stay in communication with the local medical personnel and relay necessary information to the member and his or her family or employer until the situation is resolved, and the member is either able to resume travel or a medical transfer is initiated.
Telephone Interpretation
Members can receive assistance with foreign-language interpretation over the telephone when they are having difficulty communicating with local medical specialists by calling our toll-free number (800-963-3538 or call 205-595-6626 in the U.S., Canada or the Caribbean) or calling collect from anywhere in the world.
Emergency Message Relay
Members may send and receive emergency messages to and from relatives, friends and business associates toll free, 24 hours a day, through the MedjetAssist staff.
Legal Referrals
MedjetAssist provides contact information for certified attorneys in the areas in which these members are traveling. Telephone interpretation can be provided when necessary. The selection and payment of the attorneys are the responsibility of the members.
Visa, Passport and Immunization Requirements
MedjetAssist will provide information regarding visa, passport and immunization requirements for foreign countries to which members will be traveling. For an additional cost, members may also receive services such as expedition or replacement of lost or stolen visas and passports.
Travel, Health and Safety Precautions
In addition to providing travel, health and safety precautions for international destinations, members may also receive comprehensive pre-travel medical consultations.
Transfer of Mortal Remains
In the unfortunate event of a member’s death while traveling 150 miles or more from home, MedjetAssist will arrange and pay for all necessary government authorization, provide a container appropriate for transportation and return the remains to the member’s place of residence for burial.
Contacting Medjet
Call Collect From Anywhere
To discuss a problem or course of action, members can call our medical department collect or use our toll-free number (800-963-3538 or call 205-595-6626 in the U.S., Canada or the Caribbean)

Ok so lets stop here and, lets talk about WHY the proper gear and clothing is so important in our cold winters, and as we explore this you will also understand why quality is also important. I think winters are beautiful and serene and to experience the wilderness can be a wonderful time. You are far from the crowds, in a hushed tranquil world of white. Whether gliding through a glade of maple trees on cross-country skis, hiking up a ridge on snowshoes, or ice climbing, winter can be a spectacular time of year. But there are dangers that we sometimes forget! It takes proper trip planning, experience, and the right equipment to travel safely in the winter environment. If you aren’t aware of the hazards you can be at great risk. You need to understand how to travel in the winter wilderness, the greatest dangers in the winter environment are hypothermia and frostbite! You should always be aware of your body and how it feels, as well as your surroundings. Always take the proper precautions to keep yourself and loved ones safe.
Backcountry.com says… “Our buyers have been intense about scouring the planet for the top gear you demand.

If you can’t find a piece of gear on Backcountry.com, it’s likely not a piece of gear you really need”.
The essence of staying warm in the winter is having the proper clothing layers and knowing how to use them effectively.You should understand that the body basically acts as a furnace, producing heat through chemical reactions and activity. This heat is lost through conduction, convection, evaporation, radiation, and respiration. As physical activity increases so does heat production and conversely as activity decreases so does heat production. You need to insulate your body and layering is the way to do that. Remember, your body is the heat source, the clothing layers only serve to trap the heat and slow down your heat loss to the cold environment. If you have too much clothing on, you will overheat and start to sweat. You need to find the proper heat balance between the number and types of layers and your activity level.
Please remember to do your research before doing any winter activity, wear the proper clothing and have the best gear possible to ensure your safety, and make sure you enjoy your adventure! Your winter activities can and should be a great experience of the great outdoors, and what it has to offer.
Check out Backcountry.com and see what we have been talking about here, for yourself! You will return to shop for all your outdoor activity gear, over and over again because they are the best, who only offer the best!
