Extra Credit II “Load Bearing”

Extra Credit is video series that examines topics related to history in the Thunder Bay District and exploring that history.

This episode deals with load bearing, or in other words, carrying stuff. If you want to be successful on your hikes or explorations, you need to be able to bring with you the right gear for the situation. I detail 3 levels or types of equipment I use to carry my gear, from a light-duty fanny pack to an off the beaten path, heavy-duty tactical vest. I’ll also highlight examples of the gear I carry with me. Your questions and comments are welcome.

Enjoy!

Extra Credit I “The Beginning”

Extra Credit is new video series that examines topics related to history in the Thunder Bay District and exploring that history.

This first episode in the series details how I became interested in local history more than 30 years ago and how that journey has led to the videos that you see on my channel today. If you have suggestions or ideas for future episodes, leave them in the comment section. Enjoy!
