Dylan Murray Outside research 4

 As a SCUBA diver, I have been wanting to make a career out of it in some way that relates to my major. Personally, I want to go into a job that focuses on marine life conservation or restoration of marine habitats. From this, I would want to focus on nurse sharks or sea turtle sanctuaries. In general, I wanted to look into what casual divers can do to assist with the underwater world. Cleaning trash and debris is important for habitats to thrive. This means that bringing a special type of bag is key to carrying the pollutants the diver may find. Education and policy pushing is a topic that does not fully take place within the marine habitat but would be important for the cause of where harmful things come from. However, when being a diver and an instructor, classes for teaching buoyancy assist greatly with keeping themselves, and the environment safe.

Kip Redick Example of an Outside Reading Post

 Recently I decided to give the renowned masterpiece by Jon Krakauer known as Into the Wild  another read. Needless to say I was just as heartbroken as the first time I read this novel/watched the 2007 film. I felt the need to discuss the work here simply because I feel it relates to a lot of discussions we have been having in class. I mean think about it, a young man sets out across the country to explore creation as it was intended to be experienced. As the story progresses, I remember being left with a sense of wonder, even thinking things along the lines of "I wonder would what happen if I just decided to do this one day?" I feel it's common knowledge how this story ends by now, with the main protagonist passing away alone in the wilderness, no one around for miles due to accidentally ingesting a poisonous plant. Although I have previously discussed how nature is God's most pure creation and should be treated as such, I feel I need to address a differ...

Book review- The Call of the Wild

 I read The Call of the Wild by Jack London a few years ago and read it a second time a few months ago. It is one of my favorite books, not only because it involves the wilderness, dogs, and wolves but also because of the bond between Buck and John Thornton. At the beginning of the book, we learn that Buck is taken from his home in California and was sold as a sled dog in the Klondike Gold Rush. I remember the book being difficult to read at times due to the abuse that Buck and the other dogs faced, but it also opened my eyes to how important it is to respect every form of life, including a dog’s. While he was cared for and treated well in California, his master, Judge Miller, treated him more as a friend rather than a beloved companion, hence the lack of homesickness expressed by Buck. Even though Buck was a suburban dog, there was always something different about him, he was strong, brave, and fierce. I loved how the book was told from Buck’s perspective, there was so much he did...
