    A leg up for amputees

    Quick tidbits from Disabled Explorers

    Many times the things going on in the DE world are short and sweet and not really worth a big long post.

    FS: Expedition Handbook from the Royal Geographical Society

    I picked up this book at the RGS this summer and it is the newest edition. I did read it but I am not a book bender :) This is a seriously thick (500+ pages) and well written book.
