Expedition Behavior

So Ilana thinks she's pretty cool because she just completed a NOLS educator course. Actually, come to think of it, she is pretty cool because of that. But that's beside the point. She stopped by the office today to share with me some things she's learned.

For example tussocks are our friends. And tallus slopes are not. No actually she did have some words of wisdom that she quoted from Howard Tomb entitled, "Expedition Behavior: The Finer Points."

I'll sum up the key learnings for you here, but you should also check out the full details at Tomb's website.

2. Do not be cheerful before breakfast
