		<description><![CDATA[When I took my winter skills class, I discovered that one of my water bottles froze during my 3-day survival trek. In our results-driven culture, it&#8217;s easy to forget that the value of a lesson can be revealed days, months or years later. But the memory of how long it took for that ice to [...]]]></description>

Every creek on the trail to this lake was bone dry. There&#8217;s not a mushroom in sight. I get funny looks from people when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The common cattail (Typha latifolia )  is useful in all areas of survival. I have always enjoyed eating the early spring shoots. I&#8217;ve woven the leaves into mats for sitting, added pollen to baked goods, harvested the mature stalks for shelter insulation, and gathered the mature seed heads for pillow stuffing. This time of year, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Growing up in coastal Connecticut, I&#8217;ve witnessed the power of a &#8220;Nor&#8217;easter.&#8221; Counterclockwise air currents being pushed from the northeast, draw moisture from the south, creating a storm as dangerous as a hurricane. When a Nor&#8217;easter dumps snow, the impact is devastating. This particular Nor&#8217;easter has me glued to the window. Even the gossip which [...]]]></description>
