As part of Blog Action Day‘s theme of Water I wanted to relay 5 tips on how my family conserves water like an outdoorsman. Over the years I’ve done my fair share of backpacking and trekking in areas where water is not easily accessible or plentiful. In such situations its essential to conserve water.

Glacier National Park is one location that will forever capture my imagination and reverence of nature. No matter where I travel in Glacier National Park I can always find myself lost in thought as I gaze across the landscape. Whether its towering mountains, reflections, eroded stone, or wildlife it can be found with in the maze of glacially carved valleys. It is no wonder that this amazing place is considered sacred
