This section is about getting outside: giving potential ideas, a blog about things I've done, and resources I've used. Also, as part of this I want to include the kids, because I personally know what the extra effort it is to include the kids and the potential of it keeping everyone from getting outside. If there are products I endorse or not, it is because I use or have seen the product in action.
I've always loved the great outdoors, but for me I let life get in the way. In 2003 I was almost 300 pounds out of shape and rarely got outside. So that year I got back into scouting, and started to get back in shape. Luckily in early 2004, I met a co-worker that was very active in hiking, camping, biking, rock climbing, and backpacking. He and his dad were nice enough and willing to invite me along (Thank You Dustin and Joe).
