w00t! First Post!

Yeah, pretty easy to get the first posting when it's your blog.

Anyway, here it is. In this blog I am going to ramble about a variety of things having to do with my journey through life. I am going to touch on a lot of topics but my primary focus will be on my attempt to get back into shape and to raise my daughter to appreciate the world around her. Oh yeah, I'll probably babble about technology a bit too.

Much of this will be about my attempts to learn as well. I want to learn to eat better, lose weight and to generally get into shape. I want to convert my camping/woodcraft knowledge from the approach I took as a kid (car camping) and in the military (more of road marching, bivouac and shooting at people or getting shot at) to one of lightweight backpack camping and canoe camping. I want to instill a love of the outdoors into my daughter and teach her as I learn.

As I make this journey, I will tell of where I find success and where I fail. I will review products and probably tell how I have modified or made my own as well. I encourage feedback and ideas, if anyone actually decides to read this :-)

At the end of the day though, this is more for me, but I figure if someone can get some benefit from my journey, so be it.

And so it begins.

See you on the trail,
Andrew Downie
