Comment réussir son feu de camp?
Fall in love with trail running
Les soirées sans stress autour du feu sont l’une des joies du camping… à condition d’arriver à allumer un feu digne de ce nom! Pour obtenir du succès à tout coup — et éviter de perdre pa- tience devant des bûches qui refusent de brûler! —, suivez ces quelques étapes : 1. Rassemblez tout votre matériel (briquet ou al- lumettes, papier journal, allume-feu, petit bois, etc.) près du foyer; 2. Placez quelques boules de papier journal au centre de celui-ci; 3. Déposez des brindilles de bois ou un allume-feu par-dessus ces boules; 4. Ajoutez du petit bois de façon à former un cône, tout en veillant à laisser suffisamment
Trail running can be demanding, but many people enjoy it. Here are a few reasons this activity is becoming increasingly popular. PHYSICAL HEALTH On top of the usual benefits of running, trail running challenges your balance, co-ordi- nation and agility. Running up and down hills, along winding trails and over uneven ground forces you to adjust your pace and stride to suit the terrain. Not only is it more challenging, but the movements are less repetitive, reducing the risk of injury. In addition, the ground is softer than asphalt, which limits the impact on your joints. MENTAL HEALTH Running over uneven terrain requires intense concentration. This increased focus helps you
stay present instead of thinking about your wor- ries and concerns. Plus, the benefits of spending time in nature and breathing in fresh air are well known. For these reasons, running outdoors can help relieve stress and keep your mind sharp. What’s more, the beautiful scenery helps you focus less on your performance and more on enjoying yourself. In particular, it encourages you to slow down and admire your surroundings. There’s nothing like reaching your destination and being rewarded with a stunning view and a sense of accomplishment. Lastly, trail running is simply fun. It can be freeing to let yourself trample through dust, mud and puddles. If you don’t mind getting a little dirty, head out and explore the trails in your area this summer.
d’espace pour que l’air circule bien et favorise la combustion; 5. Embrasez le papier journal ou l’allume-feu; 6. Montez le feu selon la technique de votre choix (ex. : tipi ou pyramide) lorsque vous avez une bonne flamme. Fait important : dans certains établissements, il est interdit de récupérer du bois directement sur le site; vous devez plutôt vous en procurer à l’ac- cueil. Lorsque cela est permis, respectez la na- ture en ramassant uniquement le bois tombé au sol. Enfin, assurez-vous de ne pas planter votre tente trop près du foyer ou, s’il n’y a pas d’emplace- ment désigné, de ne pas installer votre feu de camp à proximité des matières combustibles (ex. : arbres).

3 fat biking tips for beginners
1. TAKE IT SLOW AND STEADY Even though the fat bike’s oversized tires make it easier to ride over rough and bumpy terrain, you should avoid hairpin turns and steep slopes on your first few outings. It’s best to start with short, flat trails until you get the hang of riding your fat bike. 2. LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR SKIDS Experienced riders will tell you that skidding in sand and snow is part of the thrill of fat biking. However, to avoid injuring yourself, you should first practise how to safely perform the ma- noeuvre on beginner-friendly trails. 3. PACE YOURSELF If you come out of the gate running, you’re going to tire yourself out pretty quickly. It’s better to start off slow and gradually increase your pace as you gain more experience. In addition, make sure to keep your fat bike in good working order by maintaining the right tire pressure, lubricating the chain and keeping it clean.
Though fat biking in winter is becoming in- creasingly popular, this outdoor activity can also be enjoyed in the summer. If you’re interested in trying this sport as the weather warms up, here are some tips.
