Oh-pine. Speak your mind

What are some current issues in wilderness mishaps? Start a thread. Say your piece. The format is a long opinion-editorial-article written by the thread-starter. It can revolve around a source piece, article, presentation, etc. Writers, show us your stuff!

Ask about stuff...

Ask a question, get a well-reasoned answer, vote your fave. Person, place, or thing: not for board business.

Survive and Thrive

I like to read, listen, watch...

Give us some cozy winter reading, fiction or non-. Movies, podcasts, series, too. Why you like it. Please, no links to purchase sites. Start a new thread for each recommendation, and put some key words in it. Don't link to a bookstore (or other) source: other members can simply look up the book if they want to buy it of get it from their library.

Nonprofit outdoor recreation clubs

Post a brief description and link here for nonprofit outdoor recreation clubs. The goal is specifically for members to find like-minded folks for adventuring, learn safety, essentials, and skills, and draw from the experience of others. Local offerings. Focus on budget-friendly and welcoming newbies. No commercial firms or for-profit outfits. As everywhere, Sleuth the Wild is not responsible for information. One club per thread.
