If you are a Canadian, you reside on the ancestral territory of an Indigenous nation. Fostering a healthy relationship that is reciprocal with that Indigenous nation is super important. A Land Acknowledgement is a small way for you to acknowledge oneself and their relationship to the land and to the Indigenous peoples who care for it.
Indigenous peoples roll their eyes at most contemporary Land Acknowledgements. So I have created a 7 minutes 4 part guide to creating an effective and personalized Land Acknowledgement.

Underwater fishing lure footage and how different types of fishing lures work. There are a ton of kinds of fishing lures and it's easy for a beginner to be confused with all of the options. How do fishing lures work and what are all these different baits for? Here we review many common types / categories of fishing lures and plastic baits including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, jigs, and more to explain how a fishing lure works. We also test their action with underwater camera video footage of how these lures work to catch fish.

So you want to string up a clothesline six feet long, but all you've got is four feet of rope and three feet of shoelace? No problem.
Step 1: Form bend
Fold one end of the thicker rope back on itself to form a bend (or "bight") that looks like an "U" shaped, tipped on its left side.
Step 2: Slip thin rope through bight
Slip one end of the thinner rope through the bight from behind.
Step 3: Wrap thin rope around arms
Now wrap the end of the thinner rope around both arms of the bight, crossing over the short arm first (and staying below the trailing end of thin rope).
Step 4: Pass thin rope
Bringing the end of the thinner rope around to the front, pass it between itself and the short arm.
Step 5: Tighten knot
Tighten the knot by pulling both ends of the thinner rope.

More recently, the Nakoda (Assiniboine), Nehiyawak (Plains Cree), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Dakota and Lakota (Sioux) also inhabited this grassland area on a seasonal basis

Leave No Trace is about respecting and caring for wildlands, doing your part to protect our limited resources and future recreation opportunities.
Many of us have taken a pine cone or rock, veered off the trail to dodge mud puddles, gotten too close to wildlife or tossed an apple core into the woods. While these actions may seem harmless at the time, until we learn to reduce our impact, the quality of our outdoor experiences and the recreational resources we enjoy are at critical risk.
Also at risk is our continued access to wildlands as land management agencies sometimes take restrictive action to protect the resources they manage. Unless, of course, education catches up with behaviour, and we all learn to leave the outdoors as unchanged as possible by our presence.

We’re standing on the edge of a butte overlooking the Valley of 1,000 Devils in the East Block of Grasslands National Park. It’s midnight. Below us, the dark, vague and motionless outlines of the valley floor, but above us, a cosmic chandelier of light dangles overhead. It’s the galactic centre of the Milky Way galaxy, clear and crisp with detail even to the naked eye. I've hiked into the backcountry on the Valley of 1,000 Devils Trail with astrophotographer Ben Hutton, on assignment for Tourism Saskatchewan.

The Prusik Knot was developed in 1931 by Dr.Karl Prusik (sometime president of the Austrian Mountaineering Club and often misspelled “Prussik”.) It appears to be identical in structure to a knot described by Ashley for hoisting a spar. (ABOK # 1763, p 300), but Ashley did not name this knot and did not describe the slide and grip feature. The knot requires a “Prusik Loop”.

The Prusik Knot (technically it’s a hitch) is the most common friction hitch. It’s great for ascending, and it’s a staple for crevasse rescue systems because it will grip the rope from either direction of pull. Learn how to tie a Prusik Knot in this video.
