Out of Bounds • I S O M E T H I N G COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
hiking
For several summers when I was a kid, my then-hippie parents packed my brother and me into a VW Mi-crobus, and we toured
the American and Canadian Rockies for weeks at time.
Dad had a handful of walking sticks (we used the short ones), and he would decorate them with various carvings. With our pint-sized back-packs stuffed with trail mix and an or-ange Nerf ball for entertainment, my brother and I, despite our oblivious-ness, were able to witness the sublimity of nature that you simply cant see from the road.
Dad was thinner then, too, which is perhaps the second best reason to take a hike. Hiking burns about 240 calo-ries an hour, as well as lowering high blood pressure, cholesterol levels and helping stem the onset of osteoporosis. It takes far less toll on the body — es-pecially the lower back — than run-ning or other high-impact sports.
Whether just a hike of a couple of hours or a long-term trek, knowing your physical limits and being pre-pared is imperative. Storms can come, ankles can sprain and, if you have a hankering to go off the path, it's sur-prisingly easy to get lost. Here's what you need:
Boots: They need to be comfortable and broken-in to avoid blisters. Your local outfitting shop should be able to
LACE'EM UP, PACK A PACK AND
GET WALKING TO REDISCOVER
NATURE'S BEAUTY

get you in a good pair in no time. Re-member to wear two pairs of socks -thin inner, thick outer.
In the pack: The American Hiking Society (AHS), a wonderful group that has a fact-filled Web site at www. americanhiking. org, recom-mends you pack the following for a day hike: one extra pair of socks; un-derwear; long-sleeved shirts or sweatshirts; parka or windbreaker; pants or shorts; hat; canteen(s); food (extra energy-boosting trail snacks like candy bars, energy bars, crackers and dried fruit); sunglasses and sun-screen; pocket knife with one cut-ting blade;, can opener; scissors, matches or fire starter; first-aid kit; flashlight; map and compass; insect repellent; and a plastic bag to carry out the trash.
Finding a trail: The AHS also features a fantastic, easily searchable database with more than 30,000 trails, com-ments on those trails and contacts for more than 160 hiking clubs through-out the country. It's only $2.50 a
month for access. State parks, national parks and local outfitting stores are also good places to find trail maps.
In a society that gets more and more paved by the hour, it seems we forget about things like the high of physical exertion, the beauty of un-spoiled nature and the meaning of ex-ploring and adventure. Of course we don't want to encourage hikers to overrun the golf courses and plow across bunkers and greens. But spend-ing some time performing the planet's oldest form of exercise carries with it physical returns and mental bliss, the perfect recharge for stress-laden lifestyles.
So lace 'em up, pack the pack, find a stick and get to ambulating, ya greenhorns. Remember, the only thing you should leave on the trail is footprints.

solid tining, hollow coring, needle tining - to name a few.
It's all based on releasing the soil and getting more air and water to the roots. That's how you get root growth past 6" deep. As far as compaction is concerned, it's an ongoing effort. The more you break it up, the better off you are 'cause you know it's coming back if you have any traffic at all.
So give yourself a chance, enjoy the rewards. Give your soil a chance - the paybacks are great. Get a Verti-Drain. Take control.
Good things happen to those who Verti-Drain® more often. Of course, we know that life isn't always fair. But sometimes if you do one thing right you gain great rewards. Sometimes more than you deserve. We like that when it happens to us. The converse, unfortunately, isn't so much fun. And so it is with those who aerate only once a year. That one little oversight can cost them, especially when turf conditions get tough.
Aerating with a Verti-Drain 2, 3 or 4 times a year using various methods works a little like insurance for your turf. You know, you don't always have to pull plugs and fill every time you aerate. There are lots of options -
Verti-Drain Verti-Seed Carraro
Turf Tidy Rink Dresser Verti-Core
Breaking barriers to better turf.
