		<description><![CDATA[By all means, go light. Trade the silverware for a titanium spork, and ditch the tent for a sil-nylon tarp. But you gotta draw the line somewhere. Sometimes after a long hike or climb you have to knock back a few drinks around the campfire. Since it’s tough to strap a keg to your backpack, [...]]]></description>

On about his second day of climbing he turned to another friend and said &#8220;alright dude, what do I need to know to keep from looking like a total gaper when [...]]]></description>

It’s easy to get overly stoked and forget gear, miscalculate the gear that you did bring, ignore the weather, and end up in a bad situation. Check out the following five illustrations and helpful tips.]]></description>

Human noises work best, so try to keep a conversation going, or shout “Hey, bear! Coming through!” if you see signs of a bear in your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make noise while you hike. Most mountain lions will leave if they hear people coming. If you see a mountain lion, do not run. Running will stimulate the “chase and attack” instinct, and four powerful legs outrun two human ones. Do not approach the lion. Give it a way to escape. Most mountain lions will [...]]]></description>

At best, rattlesnakes can strike a distance of two-thirds their total body length (this means a three-foot-long snake can snarf a bit of your leg within two feet of where [...]]]></description>

If you surprise a bear on the trail, back away while speaking calmly and choose a new route or wait [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that every time a story involves climbing (or something the media decides is climbing), the news gets a hold of it and makes all climbers seem like idiots who are risking their lives for thrills. Maybe news coverage wouldn’t be so bad if every hiker who falls off a trail gets labeled as a “very experienced climber.” ]]></description>

Nobody enjoys a hearty point-and-laugh from the mid-mountain patio as much as we do, and we thank the tourists who film their exploits and post them [...]]]></description>
