THE INSIDE STORY
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
If you're having a hard time decid-
ing where your spirit of adventure
should lead you this summer, the May
issue of Exploring will give you plenty
of ideas.
Do sailboats, scuba gear, and
sunken treasure add up to your idea of
fun? Then weigh anchor with Sea Ex-
plorer Ship 410 of Shawnee, Okla., as
they set sail from Miami on an epic
voyage to explore the undersea mys-
teries of the Atlantic. This month's
cover story beginning on page 21, fea-
tures Ship 410's two-week cruise
across 500 miles of ocean.
If there's a hiking, backpacking,
camping, or mountain-climbing ex-
cursion on your summer agenda, you
won't want to miss the informative ar-
ticle about wilderness first aid on page
18. In it, Dr. William Forgey, an expert
in wilderness medicine, explains how
to cope with medical emergencies
when you're far from the nearest clinic
or drugstore.
Learn what to do for cases ranging
from simple blisters to life-threatening
hypothermia and shock. Then take a
look at Dr. Forgey's check list for every
wilderness first aid kit.
Next to staying well, there's nothing
more important to enjoying the great
outdoors than a hot, nourishing meal.
Today's backpacking stoves make
cooking, especially in the rain, a
much more pleasant experience than
building a wood fire.
The equipment review on page 6 is
packed with information on six
models of efficient, lightweight stoves
that can be backpacked almost any-
where. They won't take all the work
out of backcountry cooking, but they
may make baking, boiling, and frying
on the trail easier than you ever
thought possible.
Speaking of reviews, this issue's Off
the Record column takes a look at the
latest releases from Toto, David Lee
Roth, George Strait, and Windham
Hill. Catch the scoop on page 10.
And finally, if you've ever wondered
what it's like to ride in one of "Miami
Vice's" superpowered cigarette boats,
turn to page 14.
This is the story of how Miami Ex-
plorer Post 99 teams up with the U.S.
Customs Service to wage a fierce bat-
tle against the influx of drugs into the
United States.
