    With Valentine’s Day coming up, I’m scrambling a bit to find a gift for my wife. I guess it just slipped my mind a bit. If you’re in a similar boat, I have a suggestion. While I don’t usually write these types of guides, I cover so few women-specific items on this blog that I…

    To kick off the year, I landed on a plan for a new trip. I’m going to try and combine two of my favorite activities into one adventure with a sport called bikerafting. Bikerafting combines bikepacking or touring with paddling using a lightweight and portable raft. While I haven’t finalized the entire route, it’s looking…

    Rosenkvitten Ă€r en frukt som vĂ€xer kanon i sverige och kallas Ă€ven för nordens citron. Delvis pga att den smakar vĂ€ldigt syrligt, och det finns det ju fler frukter och bĂ€r som gör, men Ă€ven för att den har förmĂ„gan att hindra oxidering av tex skalade Ă€pplen precis som citronen har. Vilken grej! Du kan…

    Mycket intressant film som finns pĂ„ Svt Play, kallas Ă€ven Frökriget. Tina Maria Wiberg har tidigare gjort filmerna Bieffekten, Den sista skörden och Efter floden som alla Ă€r mycket sevĂ€rda. Det Ă€r lĂ€tt att tro att vi odlar eget frö i sverige, men det görs i princip inte alls. NĂ€stan alla fröer importeras och nĂ€stan…

    Det finns mycket som talar för att inte hĂ€nga undan kajaken nĂ€r temperaturen sjunker. Under vintern Ă€r vattnet ofta kristallklart och luften hög med god sikt. Man slipper fritidsbĂ„tarna vilket gör att fĂ„glar och sĂ€lar vĂ„gar sig nĂ€rmare kusten. NĂ€r snön tĂ€cker strĂ€nderna dĂ€mpas civilisationens ljud – tĂ„g, bilar, industrier etc – och det kĂ€nns…

The book documents the history of marathon racing on the Mississippi River, other stories from the region, some of the author’s personal adventures and his brush with death on cold water. Overall, it was an entertaining read and well worth picking up…
