		<description><![CDATA[When was the last time your grocery store gave you a hug, a handshake, and inspired you for the week&#8217;s cooking? That&#8217;s exactly what your market can do for you — there are people whose skills, hard work, and pride in their craft put quality food on your table, and I enjoy being reminded of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On January 15, 2011, I had the distinct pleasure of spending the day with Pinock Smith, a master builder, known for his traditional canoe-building methods. I first heard of Pinock in the second season of Ray Mears&#8217; Bushcraft, where he and Ray built an authentic birchbark canoe in a week. They worked on screen again in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps not something that everybody likes to hear, but I, for one, found myself nodding along with many of the points in Don Tryon&#8217;s Leave-A-Trace editorial page. He makes the point for a common-sense approach to camping, and takes issue with the extremes that some enthusiasts have gone through to erase our existence on the land. [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been busy at work with a new job, and a lot of busy weekends, so I haven&#8217;t had much outdoors about which to write, but I get the feeling I&#8217;m back for a bit.

		<description><![CDATA[It was a bit of a rainy weekend on our favorite Algonquin park lake, but fun nevertheless. The unfortunate and undesirable part of camping is the drying out of gear after you get back. Right now, I&#8217;m just going to throw it all on the balcony, and hop in the shower. I&#8217;ll update with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was inspired by my last camping partner&#8217;s prolific use of the fishing rod, and have decided to try catching my breakfast, lunch or dinner, and cooking it over the coals. I normally like things that need slow cooking to get into the coals, like potatoes, corn, and more recently, prime rib, but this time, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I originally used the term &#8220;Mickey&#8221; instead of flask, but it seems that it&#8217;s a bit more of a Canadian-specific drink-related term than I thought, like May Two Four (TwoFer), A cube (12-pack of bottled beer), and many others. From Wiki: &#8220;# Mickey, a term for a 375 ml bottle of alcohol in Western Canada [...]]]></description>
