Month: November 2022

The holiday season is all about the kids. Really. But it can be challenging to find a gift that a child will truly enjoy and appreciate.

I interrogated my own 9-year-old daughter for the truth about what gifts she liked best and questioned every outdoor-oriented parent I could reach for their opinions. The list below is the result of the most comprehensive research I did for any of my assigned holiday gift guides. Because, really, the holidays are for the kids.

Passport to Your National Parks Junior Ranger Edition: $15

The experiences that led to my 9-year-old daughter getting this passport book stamped with “cancellations” at each of the five parks we visited last summer were highlights that we still discuss today.

This book is divided into geographic regions and provides history and poignant facts for the areas, as well as a checklist for every park within

Experience is among the biggest hurdles you need to clear in order to enter any competitive profession. However, clearing this hurdle can be especially challenging for those entering the medical field because it’s unlikely you can get into medical school without some experience under your belt.

Unlike other professions, the field of medicine offers internship opportunities only upon graduation from medical school. So, the question for many high school and college students aspiring to become doctors is this: How do I get the patient care experience I need to get into medical school if I’m not a doctor?

Our solution? Perhaps the best clinical experience for pre-med can be obtained by training for and working as an emergency medical technician (EMT).

Using your kitchen to prepare meals and serving it outside can bring bugs inside. It can also affect your guest’s access to food since some dishes may be split between the two areas.

An outdoor kitchen with all the accommodations you want can make it easy to prepare and serve food in the same area.

Make an Ideal Setting for Parties

Your family might enjoy your kitchen, but it may not have the same accommodation for entertaining guests. Not only could the seating be limited indoors, but you may prefer

A video that was shared to Instagram earlier this month by Growing Deer TV shows trail camera footage of a buck working a scrape at an undisclosed location. While lifting its head to work an overhanging limb, the buck suddenly hits the ground and has what appears to be a seizure. At least that’s the theory held by Grant Woods, a well-respected whitetail biologist, habitat manager, and the host of Growing Deer TV.

Woods says that a viewer named John Gibbs sent him the trail camera footage and asked for his opinion. The video does not have a timestamp, and Gibbs chose not to share the location where it was recorded.

“I’d never seen anything like it, but after talking back and forth we
