This skills program presents the basic skill of fire building. This is the second in a series of shows featuring primitive technologies experts from Primitive Ways. (The first show is number 141, First Skills.) Naturalist Dino Labiste explains and demonstrates the fundamental skill of fire building. Our ancestors depended on fire as a basic survival tool as far back as a million years ago, and yet today, among many people it's becoming a lost art. Ben Lawhon, the education director for the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics talks about minimum impact skills for making and using fires. The fifth Leave No Trace principle is Minimize Campfire Impacts. The Primitive Ways website has many articles on primitive fire skills.

This skills program explains the gear you can carry to tread lightly on your favorite wild places. This is the second in a series of presentations by the Leave No Trace traveling trainers. J.D. Tanner and Emily Ressler talk about the gear you can bring along to make it easier to Leave No Trace. They talk about shoes and shelter, bags and trowels, cameras and sketch pads, lights and blankets, cans and binoculars, and radios and headphones. All of this gear, and more, can help you leave the wild places you visit as good or better than you found them. Specifically, Emily mentions Restop, WAG bags, and poop tubes. J.D. mentions bear cans, which we discussed in detail in our previous edition, Bear Cans Revisited. We'll hear more from Emily Ressler and J.D. Tanner in a future edition. The series will continue several weeks from now when J.D and Emily explain more details about a specific Leave No Trace principle.

he title pretty much explains it. I guess this is episode 2 in the "Anton's Adventures" series. In this episode I journey to Budapest, Hungary to try out the natural hot spring fed baths. I really had no idea what to expect. I didn't know if it was a nudist sort of thing or just a public pool. Turns out it's a perfectly normal, perfectly relaxing activity. I recommend it.

I'll be uploading this portion of Anton's Adventures in 3 action packed segments. First up is my visit to the Charles Bridge, the oldest foot bridge in Europe. Then for the second part of the series, I'll travel to the town of Kutna Hora to visit a church who's interior is decorated with 40,000 human skeletons. And finally I'll ride my bike to a beautiful area of Prague called Troya.
