Paddling Otaku: Damn Lumbersexuals
http://www.paddlingotaku.com/2014/11/damn-lumbersexuals.html
Friday, November 28, 2014. I didn't realize when I posted the Gearjunkie.com. Article about lumbersexuals how big of a thing it was about to become. I didn't realize that it has been written about in Cosmo, Buzzfeed, and many others. I didn't realize that the term Lumbersexuals was coined by Tom Puzak at GearJunkie - despite what urban dictionary says. When I posted it on Facebook - I commented that I was too busy working in the outdoors, to work at looking like I work in the outdoors! I think if you are...

Paddling Otaku: TESTED goes Camping.
http://www.paddlingotaku.com/2014/12/tested-goes-camping.html
Saturday, December 27, 2014. I have learned many great things from this website. Most recently I upgraded to a sortimo case (alright, it is really bosch, but they make sortimo in the US, and the inserts say sortimo) for most of my GoPro gear. It is sensational. At the seven minute mark, they are both right. You should aim for your pack weight to be 1/4 to 1/3 of your body weight. The third host, Norm says go with Ramen, and I think this is a remarkably bad idea. At 16 minutes Will is talking about the le...

Paddling Otaku: A tale of three fleece, and a primaloft jacket
http://www.paddlingotaku.com/2013/02/a-tale-of-three-fleece-and-primaloft.html
Saturday, February 2, 2013. A tale of three fleece, and a primaloft jacket. When I am doing overnight trips from my kayak I get into routines. One of my most consistent routine is the last thing I do before getting into my kayak in the morning, and the first thing I do after getting out of my kayak is take of cold, wet paddling gear and put on a warm, dry fleece. Self care is a very important thing. It worked well, but I wanted something that would do better in the wind. I Decided that it was time fo...

Mike Jackson's Paddling Journal: July 23 - Cadboro Bay (#67)
http://mhjpaddling.blogspot.com/2015/07/july-23-cadboro-bay-67.html
Mike Jackson's Paddling Journal. A journal of my sea kayak trips. Thursday, July 23, 2015. July 23 - Cadboro Bay (#67). I went out for a quick evening paddle around Cadboro Bay in the surf ski. It was quite windy with a little chop, and you can see on the track that I got some help from the wind and current between Cattle Point and Jemmy Jones. It was good to clear the cobwebs out! There was a SUP event going on at the beach in Gyro Park. 7 km, YTD 546 km. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Mike Jackson's Paddling Journal. A journal of my sea kayak trips. Saturday, May 30, 2015. May 30th - Discovery Island (#49). Dan, George and I went for a morning paddle out to the islands. There was a steady 10-15 kt SW wind which made things more interesting. Nice sunny morning and a good paddle. By the time we returned, there was a solid ebb. 15 km, YTD 410 km.

Paddling Otaku: Tips for outdoor educators
http://www.paddlingotaku.com/2015/08/tips-for-outdoor-educators.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Tips for outdoor educators. Having spent the last year, working hand in hand with many instructors, I have given a lot of thought to what makes a good outdoor educator, as well as "best practices" for outdoor educators. In no specific order, here are some of my thoughts. The boy scouts - who I am not a huge fan of, but that is a topic for another post - have an expression. Be prepared. There is nothing more true for an outdoor educator. Have your shit wired. In large sizes, regar...
