Joggins Fossil Center UNESCO site

fossils my student Brenda Kammuka found on Hall Beach, Nunavut which I've now donated to the museum 

tides in so no walk on the beach
But amazing what pops out of these cliffs
fossils galore
And with the Fundy tides 

 This beach will keep giving up treasures for centuries

Getting excited to try and go camping this summer

 After a school year of being in the Arctic, I need to see trees and green. I plan on trying to camp at a few sites across Nova Scotia. 

Ive often wondered if I could make an M113 an RV?

Field kit for the Arctic!

 my school Arnaqjuaq in Sanarijak, Nunavut will be having an outdoor excursion with all our students next month. Now up here, May is not war like it is in the south, so I have invested in

A) a -45c sleeping bag as an emergency shelter

B) a fully enclosed small pack to compliment my NI Patrol Pack

C) a pair of military issue mukluks which my friend sent me

D) a new Parkha and Snow pants


I'll be taking shots of all the kit once I get it.

And WOW does it ever feel great! Super warm, lots of room for movement and extra layering, and even when having to exhert like clearing ice and snow from my apartment building
