I was in the Weminuche Wilderness Area when the snow came. It was my second day out of Silverton, where the locals told me it rains or snows every day in August. I made a note to myself to do some research next time. Then I made a note to myself to find the trail. I was lost again. Lightweight Backpacking I came to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado to try my new gear. I used a tarp shelter, and a light down sleeping bag. The first rainy night I stayed dry. A good start, but now above the...

Why isn't your golf swing improving? Have you ever had your golf swing analysed? That's not just having a golf professional look at your swing but check out your golf swing plane, posture, your spine angle, balance and general biomechanics. If you haven't you are not having a true swing analysis done. You understand the basics... how to hold the club, where to stand, but things go wrong from there. The reason your golf swing goes astray when you take your club back is because your biomechanics are faulty. For example, if you have a functional short leg on your...

1. Keep a water bottle with you at all times and drink from it often. Water *is* the drink of choice, but if you dont enjoy it (I admit it I dont), drink Propel, Diet Ice, Reebok Water, Vitamin Water or some other form of healthy fluid intake. 2. Think twice before deciding what to eat and why, making sure that it is healthy and will provide you good nutrition. 3. Measure intake based on activity, not how you "feel. Need should mandate intake, not mood. 4. Eat well-balanced meals and remember that excessive calories, even if they are fat-free...

When you're shopping around for discount golf clubs you are inevitably going to run into the term "manufacturer's suggested retail price". So what exactly is it and should it concern you? The MSRP, as its typically known, is simply the price that the manufacturer of the club recommends that the retail outlet sell the golf club for. The thing you need to realize when searching for discounted clubs is that retailers are NOT ALWAYS required to use that price. They can go lower (or sometimes higher!) than that if they so choose. Now, in order to maintain some semblance of...

Some supplement companies will go to any lengths to prove their products effectiveness. But sometimes the evidence isnt quite what its cracked up to be. Before and after photos are the most compelling means by which to convince a person of steroid-like gains. Often the before photos show the bodybuilder in off-season condition; fat, bloated, with pale skin. Hardly inspirational, but true to life. And photos are sometimes reversed. In one instance a supplement company presented a photo of a fitness model in top condition, declaring it the after photo. Beside it, the apparent before photo showed the model in...

We Canadians consider ourselves a hearty people, however, the 2003 winter was excessively bitter cold and endless. By February we had had enough and were ready to trade in our winter boots for a pair of sandals. Travel ads for the Caribbean beckoned us south like the Siren's called to Odysseus. One by one our colleagues seemed to disappear for a week then reappear sporting tans and relaxed smiles. Feeling left out, a person can crack under the pressure and the decision is made. South or bust!!! I walked into my kitchen and yelled at nobody in particular, "I'm officially...

"That's Tiger's ball!" a man shouts as the little white orb shoots past me and skids to a halt some fifty feet off the fairway, perched atop needles that have settled under the high pines of the ninth hole. (Opening photo: The scoreboard below the club house, right of the first fairway.) As usual, he has out-driven the players in his threesome, but this time the shot is somewhat off course. We move quickly, gathering around the ball leaving Tiger just enough room for his back swing and a clear angle through the woods to the ninth green. He crouches...
