Required Clothing List What to Bring on Course
Required Clothing List What to Bring on Course For the following courses: Alaska Alpine Backpacking Courses Packing for Wilderness Travel Wilderness travel means you can and, for your comfort, should carry a lot less than you do in the regular world; most experienced wilderness travelers will tell you that they bring about the same amount of gear on a three-day trip as they would on a three-week trip. Your COBS Packing List: • Colorado Outward Bound School provides other necessary equipment not on this list, including stoves, sleeping pads, sleeping bags, backpacks, cookware, sleeping tarps, ropes, dry bags, and lifejackets. • There are no additional fees for the use of our equipment, but if our equipment is lost or damaged beyond normal wear and tear, you will be charged for the replacement. • Pack your clothing and gear in a duffel bag or suitcase. You will keep personal items such as clean clothes (for your return trip home) and valuables (cell phones, electronic devices, and wallets) in your bag or suitcase while you are on course. These items are kept at our base camp facility in a locked storage area while you are on course. Please leave unnecessary items at home. • Once on the course, your instructors will help you select from your luggage the best combination of items for you. They will assess your personal gear, the group gear you will be required to carry, and then balance it against your pack weight, physical size, and temperature for the time of year. • Since this list must accommodate ALL the weather conditions you may encounter and consider the wide range of individual preferences and body temperatures of our students, it is very likely you will not use every single item on this list.

Base Layer (Underwear Layer): Wicks Sweat Off Your Skin 2
Layering Basics When you step outdoors, the ancient art of layering becomes your smart-technology thermostat. This tried-and-true strategy lets you regulate comfort by slipping layers on and off as your activity level or the weather changes. How to layer: To understand layering your clothing for outdoor activities, you need to know the function of each layer: 1. Base layer (underwear layer): wicks sweat off your skin 2. Middle layer (insulating layer): retains body heat to protect you from the cold 3. Outer layer (shell layer): shields you from wind and rain Even if you don’t wear all three layers at the outset, it’s a good idea to take all layers on every outing: You can peel off layers if things heat up, but you can’t put on layers that you didn’t bring along. We’re often asked about how to layer for certain weather. Any suggestions based solely on weather, though, overlook key considerations, like exertion level and personal metabolism. All recommendations are for someone who doesn’t run particularly hot or cold, who is going on an intermediate-level half-day hike: Cold-weather layers: Midweight polyester long underwear top and bottom; a jacket with synthetic insulation; midweight fleece pants; waterproof/breathable rain jacket and pants. Base Layer: Moisture Management As the next-to-skin layer, a base layer’s job is moving perspiration away from your skin, aka “wicking.” In cool or cold conditions, wicking long-underwear-style base layers are needed to keep your skin dry. That’s essential because it helps to keep you from becoming chilled or worse—hypothermic.

A Study of Fashion Change Related to Men's Boxer Undershorts As Depicted in Sears Annual Merchandise Catalogs 1946-1988
AN ABSTRACT OF THESIS OF Bernadette A. Tatarka for the degree of Master of Science in Apparel, Interiors, and Merchandising presented on May 22, 1990. Title: A Study of Fashion Changes Related To Men's Boxer Undershorts As Depicted In Sears Annual Merchandise Catalogs (1946-1988) Abstract approved_Redacted for Privacy More research has been conducted regarding women's costume history than that of men's historic costume. One area in which little research has been conducted concerns men's boxer underwear. The need for additional research dealing with basic style changes of men's boxer undershorts was compelling to this researcher, as well as adding to the literature concerning men's historic costume. The purpose of this study was to research the availability of men's boxer undershorts post World War II (1946-1988). Specifically, based on pictorial underwear fashions illustrated in the Sears Annual Merchandise Catalog, this study documented and analyzed the availability of boxer undershorts as to fiber content, fabric structure, color, style features, and special design motifs during the time period studied. The objective of the study was to increase the knowledge of men's historic costume through an investigation into the styles of men's boxer undershorts. The historical continuity of fashion, as well as other theories concerning fashion change served as the theoretical framework for this study. The historical continuity process of fashion proposes that each new fashion is an evolutionary outgrowth and elaboration of the previous fashion (Blumer, 1969). Examples include past research by Young (1937), Kroeber (1919), and Robinson (1976), which indicated that changes in fashions took place in well-defined cycles.

I do recommend that you stick to some regular exercise plan; however, your attitude will have the most impact on this trip for you. This is a group experience and the group will define the kind of trip you have. As you are an essential member of this group, your attitude, preparation and participation will play a vital role in defining the experience. Yours in adventure, Base Camp Cullowhee Leadership Team Wilderness Experience Gear Advice, Preparation and Checklist Gear Advice This gear checklist is a summary of what you’ll need for your Wilderness Experience. We’ve broken things up into four categories; required gear that we can provide, required gear that you’ll need to provide, optional gear, and gear not to bring at all.

Student Dress Code
Appearance and Student Uniform Requirements INTRODUCTION Student dress, grooming, and personal cleanliness impact the image of The Catholic School of Visalia, George McCann Memorial. It is a part of school tradition to wear uniforms to avoid class distinction and over-interest in fads. Besides representing school families, the clean, up-to-code uniform draws students' attention to community responsibility. A neat, clean, and tasteful appearance with well-groomed hair creates an atmosphere of confidence, respect, and learning. Moreover, it is an opportunity to uphold, reflect, and respect the dignity of the human person. In adhering to the The Catholic School of Visalia, George McCann Memorial uniform and dress code, students practice the virtues of humility, modesty, obedience, and respect. It is the joint responsibility of parents and students to see that the uniform and dress code of the school is carried out daily; it is the responsibility of the teacher and staff to monitor and report noncompliance. Every student is expected to be in proper uniform every school day unless otherwise authorized. The uniform should be neat, clean, and in good repair. Violations of any uniform, dress code, and appearance requirements are subject to school disciplinary sanctions. The school cannot anticipate every fashion trend that may develop and therefore reserves the right to make judgments regarding the application of these general guidelines to specific items at any time. UNIFORM DRESS CODE Students are expected to wear the school uniform, be clean and well-groomed and wear neat and clean clothing which fits properly. Uniforms purchased from other vendors than the official school uniform provider must be virtually identical in color and style.
