1868 Words8 Pages

My Most Adventurous Holiday It was a warm Thursday afternoon on June 16, 2010. This was the day where the adventure began, the day which I had been dreaming for months. Summer holidays would be the most awaited time of the year. Holidays on the beach, cruises in the ferry or a safari drive in the wild. But this year was something I anticipated all my teenage years, and heard many wild stories about it. It was the first time in my life I was going on a camping trip. Boys scouts or ranger scouts was always something I wanted to do.The scale of excitement was just very high for me. Camping sounded earthly to me, a natural ambience. Living outdoors with the sky as my roof and the ground as my bed. Doesn 't that sound so incredible? …show more content…

We were going to the camping grounds in the dense wood near the Yosemite Forest. The camp site is near the Navaro river. We were all packed and ready to move. My bag and napsack was first in the trunk. I went through my travelling list to make sure I had not forgotten anything. At first, I didn 't realise the amount of gear I needed, until I saw the back of the van. There were coolers filled with food and marinated meat for the barbeque, camping stoves, lanterns, gallons of drinking water, a tent, air matresses, and sleeping bags. That 's when I remembered I have forgotten my weapon, mosquito repelent. I always have bad experiences with insects and I can not afford to let these tiny creatures spoil my ever awaited camping trip. That was alot of stuff for a five day trip, I thought. " Come on, hurry up! You are always delaying us."I shouted at my younger sister. So off we went, mom, dad, brother, two sisters, and ofcourse

  • Summary Of Leo Mellor's 'Lure Of The Wilderness'

    906 Words  | 4 Pages

    When thinking of the wilderness one might picture a scene from a camp site. Untamed dense forest, and endless jungle probably come first to mind and although this might be one meaning of wilderness, Mellor’s perception of wilderness and pastoral opens our thoughts on how we view the unpredictable and the known. In “Lure Of The Wilderness” by Leo Mellor, he shows the meaning of the unexplored wilderness and the surprises that come with the unknown, while humans try to tame what is wild and create a pastoral environment around them. Mellor’s writing helps understand hidden aspects in the short story “Wild” by Lesley Arimah, when Ada is blindsided with a plane ticket to visit her aunt in Africa. She travels to a place mostly unknown to her, besides the relatives living there.

    In the 2013 online article, “The Chris McCandless Obsession Problem”, author Diana Saverin describes the Alaskan wilderness travel phenomenon along with attempting to uncover the ‘McCandless Pilgrims’ “root of motivation. Sparked by the release of both Jon Krakauer’s and Sean Penn’s “Into the Wild”, numerous individuals pack their backpacks and eagerly step into their (sometimes newly-bought) hiking shoes and tramp into the Alaskan Wild to pay homage to their hero Chris McCandless. Filled with personal anecdotes and interviews, Severin’s Outside article takes a new approach Into the Wild commentary by directing attention to the lives McCandless’s story affected indirectly rather than critiquing on McCandless himself. In response to what appears to be a huge amount of troubled McCandless-inspired tramping stories, Saverin provides an unbiased rationale as a attempt to explain why so many are “willing to risk injury, and even death, to..visit the last home of Alaska’s most famous adventure casualty”. Saverin begins her article with anecdote- telling the unfortunate experience of young lovers and adept adventure seekers, Ackerman and Gros.
