		<description><![CDATA[Jason Hobbs, like many of us, owns a pocket knife. But unlike you and me, Hobbs has within the week plunged his miniature blade into the muscular chest of an aggressive mountain lion. I guess when you turn around to see a gigantic cat dragging your six-year-old son by his face into the underbrush you have to use what you&#8217;ve got.
Here&#8217;s how it went down:

		<title>Weird Ski and Snowboarding Gear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether it’s perfecting a park jump, destroying moguls or clocking record high racing speeds, skiers and riders are always vying to be the most extreme. Sometimes, we’ve noticed, this extremity manifests itself in gear and apparel. Why people feel like they have to express their wild side with felt dinosaur helmet covers we’re not sure. But at the same time it makes us chuckle so we’re not complaining.

So the Brookline, Massachusetts 10-year-olds are circulating a petition through Change.org to prompt producers to include conservation education materials on the movie&#8217;s website and in the trailer.

		<title>Yoga Passion or Perversion?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A new yoga video posted on YouTube inspires tens of thousands to pursue the practice. But it seems that many others find it sexually provocative, disrespectful of the female form and an affront to the principles of mindful movement. Personally I was more than a little shocked to discover that the 3 minute 29 second film produced by Equinox health clubs featuring Briohny Smyth could be construed as anything short&#8230; <a href="http://www.wendmag.com/blog/2012/01/11/yoga-passion-or-perversion/" class="read_more">Read the rest</a><div id="yarpp-wrapper">

		<title>1904 Japanese Foot Acrobats are Old School AcroYogis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a wild video to help kill two minutes of your workday. I won&#8217;t even pretend to say I understand what&#8217;s going on here other than the obvious—that this is pure, unbridled awesomeness. But if one of the commentators to the video can be believed, these folks are brothers performing a form of equilibristics  popularized by circuses.

		<title>Kayaker Saves Injured Dog with Horrific Tale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Rory O&#8217;Connor slid his kayak into the Gulf of Mexico for some fishing, the last thing he imagined he&#8217;d pull out of the water was an injured dog. But that&#8217;s exactly what happened to the unsuspecting fisherman, whose actions would soon reveal a story with a more bitter-sweet ending than the average fish tale.
O&#8217;Connor was looking for a prime fishing spot when he noticed a distressed dog swimming&#8230; <a href="http://www.wendmag.com/blog/2012/01/10/kayaker-saves-injured-dog-with-horrific-tale/" class="read_more">Read the rest</a><div id="yarpp-wrapper">

		<title>Annoying British Christmas Song Torments Polar Explorer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the second day of his expedition to explore the Antarctic wastelands around the South Pole, Mark Wood encountered a problem unique to today&#8217;s polar explorers: his iPod failed. The setback was at first only a minor inconvenience to Wood, who is attempting to be the first person in history to solo ski both the North and South poles consecutively.

		<title>Make Winter Camping More Comfortable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There comes a time in the dead of winter when we find ourselves pacing the room like a caged wolf, rubbing our slippers raw. As the gray sky looms outside and snow falls to the ground we sometimes sneak into the garage and rummage through our camping gear, thinking fondly of pine trees and mountain air. Somehow, those summer months filled with camping and hiking seems so far away, like&#8230; <a href="http://www.wendmag.com/blog/2012/01/09/make-winter-camping-more-comfortable/" class="read_more">Read the rest</a><div id="yarpp-wrapper">

You watch it&#8217;s slow approach, wondering if perhaps a snowshoer has gone missing in the wilderness.

		<description><![CDATA[<br />
This week&#8217;s Friday Photo winner is Erik Bengtson with this shot taken during an evening snowshoeing excursion with friends.
Here&#8217;s what he had to say about it:
<em>Snowshoeing is an awesome winter activity. It is even better when you combine it with camping, sledding and friends.
