Go Climb a Tree, It Seriously Works Your Trunk
Ms. Koening is an urban forester for the Missouri Department of Conservation in Jefferson. She is also a competitive tree climber. She saw her first competition nine years ago while attending the International Society of Arboriculture's annual conference. "I never knew climbing trees required that level of skill," she says. "I immediately wanted to try it." - The New York Times
Guest Post by Lori Crock: Outta Your Comfort Zone? My Experience of MovNat
Last week I went on my own to a week-long outdoor program called MoveNat … moving naturally. It was an experience I have to tell you about because we all need to get out of our comfort zones once in a while. It is tricky to explain MovNat because it is much more than what it may seem on the surface. - MovNat
RECIPES
Heirloom Tomato Salad and Steak with Peppercorns and Purple Basil
Is it possible not to be seduced by the gorgeous displays of tomatoes dominating farmers’ markets during the summer? - Mark's Daily Apple
moroccan pork skewers + grilled eggplant and leeks
I found this easy recipe in my favorite little tapas cookbook. I got it years ago on clearance at Marshalls. I was skeptical, but for $2 or whatever, who cares. But it's great! - Modern Paleo
Summer Salad | Paleo Salads
Being that it is summer, I thought I’d share a refreshing summer salad that we enjoy. It has crisp sweet apples (actually, blueberries work nicely here too) and takes no time to make. Hope you enjoy! - PaleoEffect
SUCCESS STORIES
The Unconquerable Dave
DEAR MARK AND ALL THE PRIMAL PEOPLE OUT THERE, I’M NOT GOOD WITH SPEECHES SO I FIGURE IF A PIC IS WORTH A 1000 WORDS. - Mark's Daily Apple
Paleo Stories from the Frontline
I lived with this pain for 10 years. It wasn’t debilitating and didn’t prevent me from doing anything I wanted to do. The pain was a pressure sensitivity issue. If I bumped into something or tried to scratch an itch it would cause a lot of pain. About a month ago, I realized that I didn’t hurt anymore. - Everyday Paleo
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Mt. Beirstadt trip report
Even before German-American painter Albert Bierstadt visited the mountain now bearing his name in 1863, hikers have trudged through the “dreaded willows” at the start of the hike. This segment is now comfortably passable using the recently constructed wooden footbridges. - PaleoTerran
