The Sun Is a Compass: My 4,000-Mile Journey Into the Alaskan WildsFor fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure.

For fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human-powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure.During graduate school, as she conducted experiments on the peculiarly misshapen beaks of chickadees, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert began to feel stifled in the isolated, sterile environment of the lab. Worried that she was losing her passion for the scientific research she once loved, she was compelled to experience wildness again, to be guided by the sounds of birds and to follow the trails of animals.
In March of 2012, she and her husband set off on a 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to the Alaskan Arctic, traveling by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe. Together, they survived harrowing dangers while also experiencing incredible moments of joy and grace -- migrating birds silhouetted against the moon, the steamy breath of caribou, and the bond that comes from sharing such experiences.
A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, The Sun is a Compass explores the bounds of the physical body and the tenuousness of life in the company of the creatures who make their homes in the wildest places left in North America. Inspiring and beautifully written, this love letter to nature is a lyrical testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

Good, sturdy and easy cleanup for family events and holidays!
Size: 18oz brown
These disposable bowls seem well designed, with a focus on people who want compostable and microwave-safe options for hot foods. I like how thick and sturdy they are. They’re easy to use and stack neatly for storage. Great for parties, camping, or fast cleanup days. A good value for the price. They thankfully have good compostability.

Nice recycled bowls!
Size: 18oz brown
This is a nice packs of disposable bowls. They hold up well when you microwave something in them (It was a can of drained corn and butter). I like that they're compostable , and they do a good job at resisting moisture. I didn't leave a bowl full of water overnight, but for having a meal, they're perfect to contain your food.

Excellent mineral sunscreen for sensitive skin.
Set name: Tube - 3 oz.
I’ve been using the Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen, and it’s become a staple in my routine. As someone with sensitive skin, I really appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and uses zinc oxide, providing great protection without causing any irritation or breakouts. It goes on smoothly, isn't overly greasy, and the water resistance holds up well for outdoor activities. The smart cap technology is a nice touch, too. Highly recommended if you’re looking for effective, non-irritating sun protection.
