February 8, 2010 marks 100 years of Boy Scouts of America. World Scouting celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2007.

Take a moment to watch this great video and reflect how scouting influenced many lives of boys and girls throughout the world. Scouting teaches virtues, character development and survival skills. It also gives urban kids a chance to get out into nature.

Many former scouts became avid campers with their own families. Maybe you are one of them?

This is a really sweet video about 4th graders re-discovering the outdoors and their own roots at a program organized by Mark Morey's Institute for Natural Learning.

Get inspired!

Watch as 19 high school studets participate in Parks Climate Challenge Program.

Parks Climate Challenge is a program organized by the National Parks Foundation in the US, where selected high school students get to spend a month at one of the national parks and learn about science and environmental effects of climate change.

See what these students had to say about their amazing experiences. Their enthusiasm is contagious!

And you thought that canoes were for paddling on water!

Enjoy watching it but do not try it at home without helmets, padding and other precautions.

MindClick GSM, a consulting firm, conducted a study, which showed that shopping at a store creates carbon emissions 15 times higher than shopping online. This is a logical conclusion, since we can imagine how much pollution can be crated by the process of shipping to retail stores and then our drivng to the mall.

So what can you do to lessen  environmental impact of your buying habits? First of all you can just buy less. This video "Story of Stuff" shows how consumerism creates pollution and garbage. We buy to throw away.

This is a new trailer for new adventures of Bear on "Man vs. Wild" to start on Discovery, Wednesdays at 9 pm.

Just for fun, enjoy!

Some relaxing, classic Christmas music. Just press play and enjoy...

Merry Christmas!

This is a nice video about backpacking with kids. Backpacking and hiking is a great activity for all ages, but we need to remember that kids will slow us down, won't go as far as we would like to and in general require a lot more "stuff" than adults.

Did you know that 2010 marks 100 yeas of the RV industry in the United States? It came a long way from horse-drawn caravans to luxury motorhomes we enjoy today.

Have a look yourself. 

This is an interesting talk by Gever Tulley, founder of the Tinkering School, given at TED Conference.

He points out 5 things that our culture regards as too dangerous for children, but which are really essential life skills and should be mastered sooner or later.

The question is how much "safety" do our children really need and if avoiding dangerous experiences is better than actually learning to handle such situations. This is something to ponder.

So here they are:

This video is a continuation on the subject of winterizing.

Before closing off your RV for the winter, make sure to make it an unfriendly place for rodents and bugs.

Winter is near and this means winterizing your RV's pipes with some antifreeze. Usually you can have it done for you by the experts (at your park or at the dealer's) for a fee or you can do it yourself.

If you decide that you can do it, but you still need some help, watch this video first. It is very helpul in understanding all the things you need to do.

Fall is here and it is getting colder and colder, at least in some parts of the world. But it is still a great time to go camping and admire fall colours.

I hope you are not travelling alone like Susan, but her video provides some inspiration and tips for fall camping. She is a tough cookie: she can start a fire all by herself, so ladies watch and learn! After all, we all have to improvise at one time or another.

So have fun!
