Mountain Activities
Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is an activity in which participants climb up, down or across natural rock formations
or artificial rock walls. The goal is to reach the summit of a formation or the endpoint of a usually pre-
defined route without falling. Due to the length and extended endurance required and because
accidents are more likely to happen on descent than ascent, Rock Climbers do not usually climb
back down the route.

Mountain Biking
Mountain biking is the sport of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using specially
designed mountain bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes, but incorporate features
designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain.

Back packing
Backpacking is the outdoor recreation of carrying gear on one's back, while hiking for more than a
day. It is often but not always an extended journey, and may or may not involve camping outdoors. In
North America tenting is common, where simple shelters and mountain huts found widely in Europe
are rare. In New Zealand, tramping is an equivalent term though overnight huts are frequently
used. Hill walking is the equivalent in Britain, though backpackers make use of all kinds of
accommodation, in addition to camping. Backpackers use simple huts in South Africa. Similar terms
used in other countries are trekking and bushwalking.
Beach and Sea Activities
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is the practice of swimming on or through a body of water while equipped with a diving
mask, a shaped breathing tube called a snorkel, and usually swimfins. In cooler waters,
a wetsuit may also be worn. Use of this equipment allows the snorkeler to observe underwater
attractions for extended periods with relatively little effort and to breathe while face-down at the
surface.

Scuba diving
Scuba diving is a mode of underwater diving in which the scuba diver uses a self-contained
underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) which is completely independent of surface supply, to
breathe underwater. Unlike other modes of diving, which rely either on breath-hold or on breathing
supplied under pressure from the surface, scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas.

Sport Fishing
Recreational fishermen usually fish either from a boat or from a shoreline or river bank. When fishing
from a boat, or fishing vessel, most fishing technique can be used, from nets to fish traps, but some
form of angling is by far the most common. Compared to fishing from the land, fishing from a boat
allows more access to different fishing grounds and different species of fish.
Fresh Water Activities

Canoeing
Canoeing is a sport or recreational activity which involves paddling a canoe with a single-
bladed paddle. In some parts of Europe canoeing refers to both canoeing and kayaking, with a
canoe being called an Open canoe. some people call them "Canadian Canoes" but Canada wasn't
the only country to invent "The Canoe"

Kayaking
Kayaking is the use of a kayak for moving across water. It is distinguished from canoeing by the
sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle. A kayak is a low-to-the-water,
canoe-like boat in which the paddler sits facing forward, legs in front, using a double-bladed paddle
to pull front-to-back on one side and then the other in rotation. Most kayaks have closed decks,
although sit-on-top and inflatable kayaks are growing in popularity as well.

Fly Fishing
Fly fishing is an angling method in which an artificial "fly" is used to catch fish. The fly is cast using
a fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line. Casting a nearly weightless fly or "lure" requires casting
techniques significantly different from other forms of casting. Fly fishermen use hand tied
flies thatresemble natural invertebrates, baitfish, other food organisms, or "lures" to provoke the fish
to strike
Cultural & Historical Activities
Traditional Knowledge
The terms traditional knowledge (TK), indigenous knowledge (IK), and local
knowledge generally refer to knowledge systems embedded in the cultural traditions
of regional, indigenous, or local communities. Traditional knowledge includes types of knowledge
about traditional technologies of subsistence, midwifery, ethnobotany and ecological
knowledge, traditional medicine, celestial navigation, ethnoastronomy, the climate, and others

Metal Detecting
A metal detector is an electronic instrument which detects the presence of metal nearby. Metal
detectors are useful for finding metal inclusions hidden within objects, or metal objects buried
underground. They often consist of a handheld unit with a sensor probe which can be swept over the
ground or other objects. If the sensor comes near a piece of metal this is indicated by a changing
tone in earphones, or a needle moving on an indicator.

Benchmarking
Benchmarking (also known as benchmark hunting) is a hobby activity in which participants
find benchmarks (also known as survey markers or geodetic control points). Technically, the term
"bench mark" is used only to refer to survey markers that designate a certain elevation, but hobbyists
often use the term benchmarks to include triangulation stations or reference marks.[1] They typically
then log their finds online.
