Now more than ever before perhaps, it is time to be a good sport. Just heard on the radio that now is also a good time to help those who seemingly cannot help themselves. So that’s a smart, sporting idea then. Go through your closet and pitch out all the clothes you’re no longer wearing, even the sneakers. And even the good basketball or hiking boots. But just make sure that they’re not too scuffed and worn at the heels.

Because that really would be an insult. What would have been the point? Anyways, and then there is this; a Sporting Goods Store Fairbanks Alaska, or stores that specialize in outdoor gear. Make sure that you like it too. Make sure that you like them on their social media page, because who knows. Maybe they get to like you too in the sense that they might want to give you the inside scoop as to what is going to be happening next in their goods stores.

As in things you not only like, but things you need – like new hiking boots that actually fit you properly and comfortably this time. And do make sure that you take full advantage of stores like Beaver Sports to stock up on decent, warm hiking socks that don’t wear out too easily. But also make sure that once you have worn them for a trip, or for the day out, you toss them into the wash basket. Regular washes, like that of your full drawer of facemasks, is a hygienic necessity.

And do go easy on the water. Once you’ve been out on a few hiking or camping trips, perhaps you will gain a better appreciation of why this is so necessary these days.
