Can’t help but to think that as kit was building her hut she thought of Jade while building it .. like a pretend , if she’d want this or that…😊…… she’s going to need a bigger cot 

A clay wood stove and a small place to store wood also a place on the outside of her hut to store wood

Fur blankets for winter of course

A mattress stuffed with straw

Fur rug or grass woven rug ( gift maybe from some elders who have been watching her work

Pegs or pole with pegs to hang items ( weapons, armor )

Twig woven chest or wood chest she’s made to store her clothes

I have lots of ideas being a outdoorswomen hahs

Eventually Kit and Jade will build a home together and all these details will be considered. A home for just them with Jade's people where Kit has found purpose and footing with.

One day anon. One day.

Women’s Outdoor Apparel: In Historical Context

If I had the opportunity to conduct a research project with unlimited funds, I would do it on the history of women’s outdoor gear. Historical Fashion has always fascinated me, and in recent years my attention has been drawn to the severe gaps that remain in outdoor gear and apparel aimed toward women. For instance, there is an ongoing joke between my friends and I (that has proved true many a time) that all financially accessible women’s outdoor apparel companies only make outdoor wear in the colours black, fuchsia, or teal. Historically, women’s active and outdoors wear has always been a few steps behind that of men.

For example, in 1943 most male sports players were fighting overseas in World War 2, and Philip Wrigley formed the All-American Girls Professional Baseball team, on which the players wore a one-piece skirted uniform as opposed to pants. Women were meant to “look like ladies, but play like gentlemen” (Porter, 2020). From my 11 years playing Softball, I can tell you that sliding into home with anything less than full length pants and sliding pads will leave you with some very unladylike scars. 

Dorothy “Dottie” Kamenshek, First Basemen for the Rockford Peaches jumping to catch a ball in her uniform, from the National Baseball Hall of Fame, from:  https://www.enidnews.com/news/league-of-their-own-women-baseball-players-together-again/article_aa96deac-d474-5e3e-8fa6-9443f239aa89.html

In another example, the 19th century and industrial revolution led to much more expendable income in families and led to more women joining their husbands in outdoor pursuits like yachting and mountain climbing. MacIntosh rubberized-cotton raincoats were patented in 1823 and became quite popular in 1830 following their roll-out to military men, but the popularization of waterproof outerwear for women and subsequent design of fashionable styles would not come until the 1880s and 1890s (Shepard, 2012).

If I had unlimited resources, I would do a deep dive into the history of women’s outdoor wear from woolen shawls and tunics to Helly Hansen Jackets, complete with trips to fashion museums to view extant garments, conversations with historians and modern garment makers, and a look into why so many gaps between men’s and women’s outdoor wear exists.

Ethically, this project would ideally not be a large undertaking. It would focus mainly on compiling existent research and speaking with experts only on the basis of their past research and findings, so factors like engagement with vulnerable persons, power imbalances, and most risk factors would likely be easier to avoid. However, there is always economic and social risks to these experts should they speak ill of their institutions or design companies, so this would need to be addressed. Of course, free and informed consent is also a factor in these interviews, as is respecting participant privacy.

This research would be proposed as a way to help outdoor gear and apparel companies better connect to the wants and needs of outdoorswomen, and as a way to bridge the gap between fashion design and user practicality. It would help gear companies and women by furthering the conversation around past and current inequities between men’s and women’s ability to access the outdoors. It would help expedition leaders and companies in better addressing the gear needs of women who enter their programs.

My Relationship with Nature

I consider myself extremely lucky to have been exposed to the wonders of nature so often throughout my life. I come from a family of avid outdoorsmen/outdoorswomen; so whether it be hiking, camping, canoeing, or cross country skiing, the outdoors have never been out of reach for me. I truly believe that my hundreds of trips in nature have shaped me as a person, and I think each one contributed in a small way to the development of my passion for environmentalism.

It hasn’t always been easy, though. Many times come to memory where I was practically dragged out the door and stuffed into our big Toyota Sienna for a family hike or ski. Though I resisted initially, I always, always, felt refreshed, happy, and emotionally rejuvenated after the activity was over. I have come to understand that these feelings didn't come from the physical activity itself, but rather the setting in which we were doing it. Nature has a strange power over us humans; it is not natural for us to be stuck inside, staring out of the window at a concrete jungle all day. We are meant to be exploring the outdoors, winding through paths in the forest, and breathing the fresh air. When we don’t get our nature “fix”, we suffer because of it, often without even knowing. This is why doctors have been prescribing time in nature to people more and more these days - the emotional and physical benefits of being outside are just too many to count! (NCC, 2019)

Another source of my exposure to nature was the whopping 12 years I spent in scouting. I went through beavers, cubs, scouts, and then venturers, only stopping when things became too busy during high school. Throughout these 12 years, I learned so much about the value of natural spaces. Scouting emphasized the importance of understanding the cultural and natural history behind each area adventuring into it, both so that we could appreciate what had led to the area existing in its current state, but also to know what to do and not do while exploring these areas in order to manage our human impact. We were always cautioned to “take only pictures, leave only footprints”; a motto that has stuck with me to this day.

These days, my sense of appreciation and wonder for nature still stands. I try to find time each day to get outside and go for a walk in Preservation Park or the Arboretum in Guelph. After a day stuck inside studying for exams, nothing makes me feel better than getting out for a walk in amongst the trees. There is something special, though, about exploring someplace completely new; Mother Nature supplies us with such variety that it's hard to justify taking the same trip twice. This is why my family and I have gone to so many different natural destinations across North America, including the Grand Canyon (we hiked down to the bottom!), Washington State, Banff, The Yukon, the Adirondack Mountain Range, the British Columbia Rockies, Mexico, and so many more. Some of the best memories in my life have come from these various expeditions into the wild!

Here’s to hoping that I can make time for another faraway adventure soon🌲
