Movies like How the West Was Won, Indian Fighter, Butch Cassidy, etc? Preferably something that isn’t shot mostly in the dry desert like most westerns.

The Naked Prey–a guide in Africa takes a group on a safari but they run afoul of the local tribe. the kill everyone but the guide and he’s on the run for his life through the wilds of Africa. it’s shot in African savannah which is pretty dry (though different than westerns), but it’s so great I had to include it.

Southern Comfort–a National Guard group gets lost in the Louisiana swamps and they’re being hunted by the local cajuns

The Naked Jungle–Charlton Heston owns a farm in South America and gets a mail order bride. Then the marabunta comes–a swarm of invading ants that can kill everything in their path.

Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan–a more serious movie about the traditional story. very sad.

Master and Commander–great adventure story about an English navy ship hunting a French ship in the waters of the new world

Spartacus–roman gladiator rebels and leads his army across Italy

The Bridge on the River Kwai–must-see war classic. british troops are japanese pows pressed into building a bridge. shot mostly in jungles

Papillon–Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman are imprisoned on a French penal colony and try to escape.

Never Cry Wolf–true story of a government researcher who goes to Alaska to study wolves. excellent, but a bit more like a documentary feel though.

The Edge–Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin get lost in the wilds of Alaska and have to find their way back home

I am in the mood for some good outdoor/adventure movies this weekend.. any recommendations. I am looking for movies like Into the Wild, Touching the Void, etc

The Great Outdoors is a funny outdoors movie

I’m planning on attending this thing called a line camp at baylor university. If you are also going or already went, which one did you choose or which one do you think is better and why. or what is your personal experience?

I’m not much of an outdoor person, so the on-campus one would be my route.

Outdoor looks like it’d be a lot of fun if that is your thing… whichever you choose there will be a good amount of incoming students with you and you will be able to make new friendships immediately either way. With the on-campus one you will have more people however, so if you don’t want to limit yourself then there’s that.

On-campus will also give you a better feel for the campus. Though I’ve never been on the outdoor one, it seems like the tradition of Baylor and what it is like to be a Bear would be lost there. On a positive for the outdoor one, the people in your group you will probably get real close with most of them given the nature of the trip.

I was wondering if there is any way to be able to hunt Bears and Turkeys….I’ve beaten the game but I can’t hunt those?

dunno.

good luck

Hiya.

My boyfriend and I are going on holiday. He suggested we went to Firbush adventure park in Scotland. Sounded great until I realised it’s in the middle of nowhere, it’s with a bunch of other families and it’s all about water parks. You also stay in cabin type things. I’m a 5* hotel kind of girl.. and I didn’t realise that you actually paid to stay somewhere that doesn’t have cleaners. Yes, okay, that sounds very snobby, but I can’t help it that I’ve only ever been on luxury holidays.

I don’t know what to do. I’m rubbish at sport and family "lets do things together" holidays make me cringe. I also really despise children. I know this all sounds very pessimistic but please bear with me. I don’t know how to compromise. My boyfriend hates holidays where you just relax and do nothing, he doesn’t like fancy hotels, and room service doesn’t appeal to him. I don’t know how to compromise. The holiday he has suggested costs £500 for the 7 days. I can’t bear the idea of spending £500 on a holiday where it might rain.

I need to come to a compromise but I need ideas. I’ve tried searching for outdoor holidays with Spas, or resorts etc etc.. but this one is all inclusive with meals etc. It just sounds like some sort of religious type camp to me.. Argh.. help?

If you ‘don’t know how to compromise’ please do yourselves a favour and NEVER GET MARRIED.

This relationship is doomed if you can’t figure out a simple thing like where to have a holiday together. He needs to compromise and so do you.

By the way, a little sport wouldn’t hurt. You may even find something new that you like. Climbing is fantastic and there is some great beginner’s climbing in the Lake District of England he might want to look into if he wants some adventure.

Remember that people would kill to be able to holiday in the UK. Take advantage of your countryside and try something new, like hiking or backpacking.

i want to do the course fr being an outdoor adventure instructor but i dont know the correct term to research it.

Thats pritey enough the title, though to be an instructer there are a few othere courses you may have to look into such as the BELA Basic experdition leaders award.
http://www.mwguiding.co.uk/bela.htm

Is there a military run sports outdoor sports club, (i.e. circuit training & assault courses)
or just outdoor training clubs that do Climbing, running ETC.
It must be in Staffordshire & Shropshire (UK) areas.
Your help would be most welcome.

Regards & many thanks

tomorrow i am going to an outdoor job interview for a canopy tour company, i am trying for a position as a tour guide, which gives hikes through the area and zip lines, i was told to wear outdoor adventure attire, and to dress warmly. what does that mean?? like jeans and a tee shirt or what? i was also told that the area is really muddy right now because of the rain. what would you wear?

If someone invited you to go on a hike and told you it would be chilly and muddy, what would you wear?

That’s what you should wear!

Water proof hiking boots; jeans with maybe thermals underneath (depending on how chilly); a Tshirt + long sleeved shirt + Jacket (layers). Preferably somekind of foldup rain suit in your pocket (shows them you’re prepared); and probably a hat for warmth if needed. And probably sturdy gloves for the zip line work.

If you show up dressed completely inappropriately for the weather it’ll be obvious you don’t know what your doing and after freezing all day with mud up to your butt you won’t get the job.

This summer I will be going on another road trip/ backpacking trip. So far I would like to visit Shenandoah National Park, to do some backpacking there and site seeing. Also I heard there are some emerald mines that look like they would be a fun experience. I am wondering what else would be nice to do in the area like any caving, whitewater rafting, climbing, waterfalls or other great sites to see. This can be in other states near North Carolina also.

Great Smoky Mountains, and that one long island with the wild horses
