Hi! Welcome...

Davis Farris I currently am a sophomore at Murray State University where I am getting a degree in OSH. I also have a huge passion for the outdoors. I love to backpack, rock climb, mountain bike, and scuba dive. Another thing about me is that I love music. Without music in my life I don\'t know what I would do. Music is the backbone in my life. Music is my business, living the good life! Thanks for stopping by everyone. I hope you enjoy my posts. Feel free to comment. One last thing, I keep a flock of chickens.

Brushing in the Backcountry

It always feels nice to brush your teeth after a day of eating gorp, beef jerky, and whatever you might have had for dinner (unless the gorp and beef jerky was your dinner).  It is a pain lugging your toothbrush and your toothpaste with you on every trip.  I stumbled upon this sweet product today.  It is called the Toob Brush (see figure 1).  This is a cool device that puts the toothpaste and toothbrush into one compact device.  This is perfect for camping and backpacking.

This compact toothbrush is simple to use.  You fill up the toothpaste compartment that is stored in the bottom of the brush and you are good to go (see figure 2).  The best part of the whole Toob is that it comes in different colors.  This way you guys won't be stuck with a pink toothbrush.  You have the options of black, ice, blue and cranberry (see figure 3).

For only $5 I am not sure if I can pass up this deal.  Or maybe I can for now because I am a poor college student.  This would be a great stocking stuffer! Hint hint mom and dad.  I especially like the ice one.  

You can read more about the Toob Brush here: http://www.yourhealthysmile.com/toob.html

What do you readers think of this?  Feel free to comment.  I am interested to see what you all think.

A Song I Wrote For Alee

Song for Alee.mp3 (4209 KB)

This is the final draft of the song that I wrote for Alee.  I did the best I could.  I would like to add some guitar later but I need a better place to record.  My room is too loud.  My dad suggested I go outside.  That isn't a bad idea.  I've been working on this thing for over 3 months.  I hope you all enjoy it.

p.s. It takes a few seconds to get started.

Camping!

As I said a few days ago my friend, Andrew, was coming down to visit for the weekend. He, Alee and I went camping tonight (actually I'm in my tent writing this right now). Now we are trying to go to sleep but it is a bit windy for me.

This first picture is of a frog that I found on my bag. It jumped onto my monkey man jacket.

The next two are of my great cooking skills. We had fire roasted pita pizzas. They are one of my specalties.

This last picture shows how creative Alee is. Because it was so windy she made a barrier to keep the wind away from the fire. She is awesome!

Needless to say, we have had a fun time so far. We just hope it doesn't rain anymore than the sprinkles we got earlier.
