a Memphis Traveler's 2015 Christmas List - $25 And Under
The 2015 version of the annual Christmas list is here! I have put together a list of some items I personally own and have tested and many others that I have researched and would love to see under my own tree!
Most are geared toward the Outdoorsman and this first part is under $25 because I know budgets are always important.
Lists for $25-$50, $50-$100, and EDC stocking stuffer lists are in the works.
Can't Wait To Use This Gerber Strong Arm!
Just got a Gerber StrongArm
from Amazon and I can't wait to use this thing on the next trail or camping trip I take. I was able to get some time at least to post some initial thoughts for now.

Buck Knives - Compadre Camp Knife
This will be going on my upcoming 2015 Outdoors Christmas Gift List but I wanted to do a separate post about it as well because I just like the looks of this knife so much.
Buck Knives 0104WAS Compadre Camp Knife with Red Blade
and Plain Edge.
You will either love or hate the red powder coated blade but I like it and think it goes well with the Walnut handle.

John James Audubon's Birthday
If you logged onto Google this week, Tuesday April 26th to be exact, you saw the most recent version of the Google Doodle.
This was to signify the birthday of John James Audubon (1785-1851), who was the first person to attempt to paint and identify all the birds of North America and the inspiration for the founding of the National Audubon Society.

Life Lessons, Inspirations and Survival Tips From Bear Grylls
I have to admit, when their respective survival shows first began airing I was anti Bear Grylls
(Man vs.Wild) and pro Les Stroud (Survivorman). Due to the fact that Bear used a camera crew and had rescue teams on call all the time. Les Stroud, on the other hand, carried all his own camera equipment and at least seemed to be a lot more isolated during filming than Bear was. But now as I read and learn more about his story and life philosophy I have become a fan of the Bear also.

One of the best items you can bring on any trip is a notebook. Writing your memories, feelings, and experiences during or shortly after you experience them is the best way to remember your trip accurately. Writing also allows you to go back and relive the trip exactly how you felt on that day.
Another Good Review of the Bear Grylls Survival Knife
The ultimate challenge of approval: a child. This reviewer's son seems to be a big fan of the Bear Grylls Survival Knife
. (Which is still on my wish list if anyone is interested)
See the review here over at the field and stream blog.
Starting a fire in the snow is something I definitely need to practice. Especially if this increased snow pattern keeps up in the coming years.
