			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been in contact with the folks behind <a href="http://www.lifesongadventures.com/" title="Lifesong Wilderness Adventures" target="_blank">Lifesong Wilderness Adventures</a> over the past year or so.  Celeste who works with Mark the founder of Lifesong and is a Fish and Wildlife Biologist field researcher just <a href="http://www.lifesongadventures.com/newsletter/?p=118" title="Hunter Revolver Review" target="_blank">posted a great review</a> of the <a href="http://sogknives.com/store/HREV-7.html" title="Hunter Revolver">Hunter Revolver</a>.  You should go over to their site and check it out.  But here is one of the better quotes from it.</p>
<blockquote><p>Needless to say before the the first day was done, I had numerous individuals hovering ’round’ me wanting a better look at that <strong>“KNIFE”.</strong>At that point it became clear to me, I had a very <strong>useful knife</strong> that made my work much more pleasant and comfortable. Also, I best keep it close or it may make some other biologist’s day better. No thieves, just intelligent people who appreciate good equipment.</p></blockquote>
<p>Also, while you are at it you might as well enter to win a free class from Lifesong.  They are running a contest right now and one lucky person will <a href="http://www.lifesongadventures.com/newsletter/?p=115" title="The Edge Free">win free tuition to the May 18th- 23rd class</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> 			<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Inspired by our  			consulting work with<strong> Bear Grylls</strong> and <strong>Man Vs Wild,</strong> plus  			our own <strong>personal adventures</strong> in the wild, we created a 6 day 			<strong>extreme challenge</strong> course to match the adventure and  			excitement, for <strong>YOU</strong>.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> 			<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> 			<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">If you thrive on  			personal challenges and enjoy adrenalin adventure, you’re going to  			love <strong><em>The Edge</em></strong>.  <strong>Six intense  			days</strong> of wilderness survival training prepares each participant  			for a <strong>solo</strong>, two day, overnight adventure during camp.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> 			<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> 			<font face="Arial" size="2"><strong>Carrying only</strong> a knife, flint,  			canteen/cup and the clothes on your back</font><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">,  			like <strong>Bear</strong> does during <strong>Man vs. Wild</strong>, (less the camera  			crew), you will face the adventure with only the skills and  			knowledge you gain during camp.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> 			<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> 			<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">We’re not going  			to give away exactly what’s in store for you during <strong><em>THE EDGE</em></strong>,  			but suffice to say, it will be a challenging, exciting, and most of  			all, an <strong>exclusive personal adventure</strong> you won’t soon forget.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> 			<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> 			<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">We’re so excited  			about offering this camp that we’re going to give <strong>ONE</strong> lucky  			person the opportunity to win a <strong><em><font color="#ff0000">FREE</font>  			EDGE ADVENTURE</em>!</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> 			<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">Tell us, in <strong> 			500 </strong>to<strong> 1000</strong> words, why you want to take this camp,  			and why <em><strong>The Edge</strong></em> experience will enhance  			your life.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> 			<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial">The winner will  			attend The Edge Camp May 18-23, 2008 <strong>tuition 			<font color="#ff0000">FREE</font></strong>.  </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>So get your writing skills focused and <a href="http://www.lifesongadventures.com/newsletter/?p=115" title="Win The Edge class" target="_blank">enter to win</a>.  But there is one more thing.  I will be throwing in a knife to the winner.  I have not decided which knife yet but it will be nice one.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
