Nature nerd teaching folks about nature stuff, and going on the occasional adventure. I want to break down barriers between people and nature through education and entertainment.
Hi! I'm Carley, I'm a teacher, but I have worked for years in the field of nature stuff as a park ranger, fisheries technician, and outdoor educator. I still consider nature and the outdoors the most important part of my career. I want to help folks get outside and playing in nature with a mish mash of nature facts, wild foods, adventures, and outdoors related tidbits. I aim to educate, entertain, and inspire folks to connect with nature, and maybe bring out their inner child.
Thank you! Your identification tips are easy to understand and concise. Without saying too much you said everything that needed to be said, and your sense of humor is refreshing. Hope you make more videos! I immediately subscribed.
It's an oldy Carley but superb. I thought if you were in one of those deserts hungry and dehydrated you'd be dancing for joy at the mucus-type fruit. Just popping in to say hi and to see how you are. I hope you and the family are well. All the best from over here. Mark
@@Nerding4Nature A pleasure Carley. Hey, good to hear things are well. Yeah, we're missing you out here. Me? Injury at present but getting there. Have a great week ahead.
These are for the Sirra’s, which sadly, seem to have been discontinued. I tried to replace them this spring. I’ve owned the Tiera’s and liked them too. I just liked how I could dress the Sirras up a bit better.
The pollen with those tiny catail Beatles is a good thing because it shows there is no pesticides that the plant could have absorbed from farm runoff or being sprayed.
Beautiful shots. They are truly amazing birds. I have been filming American Dippers feeding their nesting chicks salmon. I even got some underwater shots...check it out on my channel if you are interested! Cheers, Damon
Warm temperature areas in Asia and West Europe have lots of wild berries more said than the United States does, but within the last few decades many scientists are inspired by their own scientific studies and research to ensure that the federal government says what is and isn't safe to digest
Needles have very pointy tips but are flat and soft and grow out the sides of the branch only. The bark has a pretty distinct look. Also, the "berries" if it's the right time of year.
I like how you set this experiment up. I know the blankets don't have any padding, so it will be hard sleeping on the ground. I read one review and the guy said that one tends to sweat a lot, because there's no way for moisture from the body to get out. He said he had to empty his blanket out each morning. Can't imagine doing that when it's already cold outside.
Ya. It’s definitely good to have some layers between this and your skin. I’ve used it as a blanket over my legs and thick hiking pants while waiting for someone to summit when I was getting altitude sickness and it wasn’t as effective as using it over snow pants and a big puffy jacket.
This was fun to watch and I can see myself having similar struggles with a short, forward mount ski and no support from the boot. That said, if you are in to snowshoeing I would definitely go with a Hok set up and think you would have a lot more fun. If you live in rolling country I think these would be great. If you are a skier, go AT. Better on the up and so much better on the down! Thanks for taking the time and effort for a fun video!
I now have an AT settup because we don’t live in rolling hills. I’ve gotten better at them and take the hoks out on a couple easy runs and can do a bit of tree skiing with them if it’s not icy.
