In the first line, it describes Jael going for the “tent peg” so that she can kill Sisera. The second line, however, says the same thing but emphasizes that she uses her “right hand” and grabs a “workman’s hammer”. The change is subtle, but it is very telling of the actions Jael is about to take. By changing
friend was to be close to Albion. It is the secret spot for abalone diving. I didn't know the amount of gear you needed, until I saw the back of the truck. There were iceboxes filled with food, camping stoves, lanterns, gallons of drinking water, tents, air mattresses and sleeping bags. There were also diving suits, weights to help the person stay underwater longer and booties to help protect your feet. That was a lot of stuff for a four day trip, I thought. The day dawned bright and beautiful. The
Practice Camp We drove to Pembrokeshire along with the other groups embarking on their Bronze Expedition. We set up our tents and prepared our equipment for the following days walk. This practice camp allowed us to 'settle into' our temporary homes and relax after a hectic afternoon. To David Price's discontent a flock of seagulls deemed it necessary to hover above his tent, lingering until daybreak - reducing the hours of his much-needed beauty sleep! This resulted in a very grumpy David and
greedy and didn't suit our playing qualifications by continuously changing rules and cheating. It was rare that we encountered them anyhow, and that suited us fine. Most of the time we would stay the whole weekend. Our parent's elected to sleep in a tent, while my brother and I slept in one of the many cozy bedrooms of the farmhouse. We loved it there and secretly both he and I wished that we could stay forever. There were separate reasons why we loved it there. My brother, Forest, had a choice
clear stream. My brothers and I would always throw rocks and sticks into the river. We loved to watch the huge fish jump far above the water, and dive back in head first. We never stayed in a tent because of all the moisture that the river would give off. In the mornings, when we did stay in the tent, my family and I would wake up feeling drenched with water. We had a new camp trailer that was big enough to fit five people. The trailer was white with a maroon stripe going down the side. It had
to camp and food and sleep. I get to the pond’s edge, across from the point where my tent sits. There are no trails and the boreal forest is thick with scrub pine and dead-fall. Early afternoon sun brings out the wave of deer flies; I shake my head so that my two braids might hit the little buggers in mid-air. Undeterred, one begins to chew on my shoulder blade and prickers dig into my shins. I can see my tent across the pond, 100 yards as the crow flies, probably a mile walk around the edge. I
side early in the morning chanced to meet a family who had fixed their tent down in a valley. He saw a young woman with a baby in her arm, cooking at a cracked, rusty and old iron stove. The writer observed the lady’s movements with great vigilance. He was inspired by the way she was doing her work and at the same time handling the child with absolute ease. The orange fire peeking out of the cracked stove made reflections on the tent which were quite appealing for the author. The author moved towards
gold earrings she wears beats against her slender neck. Her stature is of a queen, yet she walks to an uncertain death. She stands in front of a small hut, or a tent. She glances back and sees the majestic sun that had once kissed her neck now set and somewhat leave her abandoned. She exists alone in front of that diminutive hut or tent and out comes a man. He is exhausted and is ready to go home to his companion and his supper. He looks a bit annoyed that she has come so late. His hands are stained

Having an immense amount of weight on my back while I was trying to get to my new home wasn’t a very good motivation. In fact, I wanted to drop my pack and die every three steps. It didn’t matter how long I had been at Second Nature and how much I had become fond of the place, I hated hiking with crippling weight. The reality of the situation, however, was that we simply could not stop. No matter how much it hurt, we had to keep moving, or else we wouldn’t make it to camp where there would be a source

Nathan Shie 11/7/2017 Sure, that looks fun Ah, camping! The feeling of waking up to bird calls, looking up to see the rising sun and blue sky, and… and having to use the restroom really really badly in the cold, dry environment. Don’t worry about me, the zipper on my sleeping bag only jammed twice this time, and I only tripped once. It was a relatively great morning, by my camping standards. After walking down the gray trail of rocks and sand, and passing the trees and greenery on either side
went off or were shaken to bits in our packs, so we rather gorged ourselves, then sat around smoking and chatting idly until persistent and numerous midgelike creatures (no-see-ums, as they are universally known along the trail) drove us into our tents. It was perfect sleeping weather, cool enough to need a bag but warm enough that you could sleep in your underwear, and I was looking forward to a long night's snooze--indeed was enjoying a long night's snooze--when, at some indeterminate dark hour
delightful day with a temperature of about 85 degrees, and the sun shimmering down brightly. I can almost feel the same excitement in the air as Monica must have felt when winning the gold metal. Nearly an hour and an half after arriving to the Olympic tent I spot Monica trying to escape a gaggle of anxious reporters. Eventually I get her attention and she calls me over to where she is sitting, the infield grass of the track. After all the congratulations and formalities our interview begins. She is

I signed up to go on a camping trip with the Blackstone Valley Order of the Arrow honorary group of Boy Scouts in March 2010 to Camp Cachalot near Plymouth Massachusetts. I was assigned a role as a leader in the troop where I was to advise and care for a group of 45 other boy scouts. On the first night, we had to sleep outside, on the dirt and leaf filled floor of the woods as the camping trip’s purpose was to reflect on cheerful services and to grow closer to living out the values of the scout law
