The Etip solves the problem. These lightweight fleece gloves' silicone grippers offer excellent grip in all conditions. They feature silicon pads, plus a special pointer finger pad that works with iPods, iPhones and laptops. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788244.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788244.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:12 EST Ski season might seem a bit far off, but just like a squirrel putting away nuts for winter, we need to make plans and take action now to get in shape. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788238.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788238.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:12 EST This time of year is "set up" time. You might not even realize you're being set up for the January regrets; regretting those extra pounds gained over the holidays, regretting your loss of conditioning. It's amazing how much a month or so of slacking can physically cost you. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788248.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788248.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:12 EST Oink, oink. That's me since my favorite chocolates went on sale earlier this month. I bought bags of them, swearing I would parcel them out slowly. But of course, I didn't. Worse, I went to a couple of parties and devoured pasta with rich sauces, fresh French bread, creamy cheesecake and other top-of-the-calorie-line deserts. In one week, I gained back five pounds, and my party jeans were tight again. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788245.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788245.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:12 EST Hikers and climbers often have to cope with water, dirt and snow that finds its way into the tight spaces of boots. The solution to limiting this problem often lies with a pair of gaiters, which can cover and protect the tops of footwear. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788240.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788240.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:12 EST The biggest news this season at Bogus Basin Recreation Area in Boise, Idaho is a new yurt along its Nordic trail system. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788249.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788249.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:12 EST If this Nordic skating idea seems new and foreign, here are some tips adapted from the Web site www.Nordicskating.org to provide some guidance. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788246.html http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/outdoors/outdoors-wire/story/788246.html Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:12 EST Holiday shopping for camping enthusiasts can be a bit weird. What to say? Here's a mosquito net you can use twice next year? Or here is a cook set that will sit in your basement for the next 10 months?
