Got some cool books I've been wanting for awhile:
-
American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America, by Colin Woodard. This is a really interesting topic to me, that helps me better understand the people and cultures as I wander North America.
-
The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry
-
The Art of the Personal Essay: An Anthology from the Classical Era to the Present, by Phillip Lopate
-
Flash: Writing the Very Short Story by John Dufresne
Also got a
Bolt Cable Lock, which keys to my van's ignition key, same as my two hitch pin locks and two other cable locks I use for bike, canoe, or generator. One key for all. I love these locks.
and a sweet
Morakniv Kansbol Stainless with a 90º spine which makes it great for using with a ferro rod to start fires. I already have an olive Kansbol and like this orange one for treks away from camp where it will be easier to find if misplaced in brush or desert floor, etc.
and a few
Snugpak Dri-Saks - completely waterproof and weatherproof (sand, dust, and snow) sacks for use as backpack liners or storage in my canoe and around camp. These things rock; simply the best drisaks I've found for the money.
