The Ten Essentials

April 13, 2009 /

Whether going out for a day hike or going for a multi-day excursion in the backcountry, there are a few items that should always be packed. These items have been summarized into what is known as the ten essentials. The ten essentials date back to the 1930’s and were created by The Mountaineers, a Seattle-based outdoor organization.  The list has evolved from just 10 items, into 10 categories or systems.

The Ten Essential Systems

  1. Navigation
  2. Sun Protection
  3. Insulation (extra clothing)
  4. Illumination
  5. First-aid Supplies
  6. Fire
  7. Repair kit and tools
  8. Nutrition (extra Food)
  9. Hydration (extra water)
  10. Emergency shelter

To find out more about the ten essentials go to The Ten Essentials

Also you can find this information published in the book “Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills”.

The weather is getting warmer…

April 6, 2009 /

Spring here in Utah can bring all kinds of surprises. One day it will be 70 degrees and two days later it is snowing. When the sun starts to come out all I can think of is getting up to the mountains to go climbing or hiking. I have to remember that even though there is no snow down low, there is always lots of snow up in the mountains.

The last couple of weeks I have been building, updating and gathering data and information for Open Air Life and the wiki guides. The time I have spent on gathering this information has been a really enjoyable time for me. I love to spend time in the mountains even if it is not climbing. It is also a great time for me to expose my son to them and show him the bueaty that can be found there. I can’t imagine not living so close to the mountains.
