Winter Survival

I catch up with Kevin in this weeks episode, and given the rather unfortunate news delivered by that ridiculous rodent Punxsutawney Phil, it seems only appropriate that we talk about the harsh winter we've been experiencing. Specifically, given the severity of the weather across the nation, we take the opportunity to dive into survival skills that specifically apply to the winter, the harsh cold, and some of the considerations that need to be at the top of your list when planning for what could happen. We talk in detail about clothing choices and layers, but more importantly Kevin get's into the why behind this and explains the importance of choosing certain materials over others. Additionally, we get into the types of heat loss and how your clothing helps to combat that, water collection and storage, creating makeshift shelter, food, and more. This was a real learning opportunity for me, and I'm sure you're bound to pick a few things up as well!Kevin's book is also out, titled "Beyond the Field" and is available now!: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Field-Taking-Wilderness-Skills/dp/B0F47J3QZW/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0Visit our sponsors!Our Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.com

Send us a textAnyone else think that January felt about 467 days long…  and February still has the freaking audacity to exist?!If you're a high-achieving, capable woman who's still getting everything done (but subtly feels flatter, duller, or slightly disconnected from herself anyway) this episode is for YOU.This isn't a “light a candle and wait it out” conversation. And it's definitely not a “push harder and ignore your body” one either.In this episode, I go all in on why winter itself doesn't actually derail you…. But the unconscious shrinking that does… and how so many women slip into identity drift at this time of year without even realising it.You'll learn how to:stay connected to who you are even when energy is lowlead yourself through winter without burning out or opting outwork with the season without lowering your standardsprotect your energy instead of trying to optimise itstay anchored to Future You when motivation feels patchy or non-existentThis episode reframes winter as a training ground for self-trust, identity, and leadership. NOT a pause button on your life.I also share personal insight from my own waiting season, showing how leadership isn't about perfect conditions, but about staying connected to yourself regardless of what's happening around you.If you've been telling yourself:“I'll feel more like myself when the days get lighter”“I'll properly step into things once winter's over”“I don't know why I feel a bit off… nothing's actually wrong”…this conversation will land.✨ Inside the episode:Why February quietly messes with high-achieving womenWhat identity drift looks like (and why it's not burnout or laziness)The difference between rest and disengagementA grounded, non-woo take on seasonal and cyclical livingFour winter survival strategies rooted in identity, not hustleWhy Future You doesn't disappear in winter; she adaptsThis is for the women who don't want to drift through the next few months on autopilot, and don't want performative motivation either.Winter doesn't ask you to disappear. It asks you to lead differently.Press play Queen and let's smash this

In this inaugural episode of Bee Science with Dewey Caron, PhD, Dewey takes a close look at one of the most fundamental — and often misunderstood — aspects of honey bee winter biology: clustering. Why do honey bees form a winter cluster, and what actually determines whether a colony survives until spring? Dewey explains how clustering is not simply about staying warm, but about energy efficiency, colony organization, and collective behavior. He walks listeners through how cluster size, food placement, colony population, and environmental conditions interact throughout the winter months. This episode also explores common misconceptions, including the idea that tighter clusters are always better, and how beekeeper interventions — intentional or accidental — can influence winter outcomes. Dewey emphasizes what beekeepers can realistically observe, what remains hidden inside the cluster, and why patience and preparation often matter more than mid-winter hive checks. As the first installment of this new monthly bonus series, Bee Science with Dewey is designed to give beekeepers a reliable, science-based touchpoint they can count on throughout the year. Each episode focuses on a single topic, grounding current beekeeping questions in research, biology, and decades of field experience. New episodes of Bee Science with Dewey will be released on the third Wednesday of each month as a bonus feature of the Beekeeping Today Podcast.

It's the heart of a New England winter, so Rick, Liz, and Evan talk about the real, practical ways people keep themselves sane when it's dark, cold, and relentless. Whether it's staying active, leaning into competition, or just finding small daily rituals that make winter feel survivable, they break down how different personalities handle seasonal affect disorder without losing their minds.Then they dig into a viral post from a dad who admits he hates playing with his kids—is that an uncomfortable truth a lot of parents relate to, or a line that shouldn't be crossed? And finally, they debate the growing pushback against Dry January and make the case for doing the opposite just to keep a social life alive through the winter.

In this episode of the Silver and Black Coffee Hour, Aaron, Zach, and Tom discuss the recent performances of the San Antonio Spurs during the dog days of winter, highlighting key player developments and team strategies. They dive into Jeremy Sochan's energetic return to the rotation, the Spurs' recent shooting woes, and the importance of maintaining a strong defense. The team also previews the upcoming games against the Timberwolves, Thunder, and Bucks, and debates whether the Spurs should pursue any trade opportunities. All this and more, plus some fun moments and insightful analysis to keep Spurs fans informed and entertained.

In this New Year episode of Money Isn't Scary, I'm talking with social psychologist and author Kari Liebowitz about how to get out of winter survival mode and feel more supported by this season instead of just pushing through it. We explore how the way we think about winter can completely shift how it feels in our day-to-day lives, especially when we're tired, overwhelmed, and juggling a lot. Kari and I dive into the power of mindsets, how our beliefs about winter shape our mood and energy, and how we can start to work with the season instead of fighting against it. We talk about practicing rest without guilt, finding small opportunities in slower seasons, and applying this same mindset to other challenging chapters in life, not just the cold, dark months. If you're feeling like you're just counting down the days until spring, this conversation is a gentle invitation to see winter—and yourself—a little differently.

In this BTP Short, Jeff and Becky welcome back Dara Scott of HiveAlive to share the results of a recent customer survey on overwintering success during the devastating 2024–25 winter. While national losses reported by Project Apis m averaged around 60%, HiveAlive users reported losses less than half that rate—about 23%. Dara explains how HiveAlive's unique seaweed extract, combined with lemongrass and thymol, helps support colony health, reduce Nosema levels, and improve overwintering outcomes. The conversation also touches on HiveAlive's origin story, the science behind seaweed extracts in animal nutrition, and the importance of fall feeding to maximize health benefits throughout winter. Dara and Becky discuss survey methodology, beekeeper management styles, and surprising findings—such as queen losses being the most common challenge among otherwise well-managed colonies. Listeners will also hear about HiveAlive's customer newsletter and Dara's plans to make complex research more accessible to everyday beekeepers. This episode highlights both the science and the beekeeper experiences that make HiveAlive a compelling option for supporting colony survival and strength.

Winter Study at Isle Royale National Park has a decades long history, but just a few scientists ever get the chance to spend time on this isolated archipelago in Lake Superior. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with one of those fortunate ones, Johnathan Pauli, Professor in the Department of Forest & Wildlife Ecology at the University of Wisconsin Madison. From tracking foxes and martens to unraveling a centuries-old survival story, Johnathan shares how studying this wilderness in winter reveals secrets a summer visitor would never experience. Join us for a conversation about science, survival, and what makes Isle Royale National Park a critical refuge for wildlife.Key Takeaways:Winter Study at Isle Royale has been going on for over 60 years, originally launched to monitor moose and wolf populations and now expanded to include other animals such as martens, foxes, and snowshoe hares.Winter presents extreme challenges and rich insights, including long days in deep snow, cold exposure, and tracking animals over miles of off-trail terrain.Snowshoe hares follow a 10-year boom-and-bust cycle, which helped explain the survival story of Angelique Mott in 1845, when she struggled to trap hares during a population crash.Isle Royale functions as a modern-day “refugium,” because it is more buffered from human development and invasive species, making it an ideal site for long-term conservation and research.Notable Quotes:“Winter is a period of nutritional and resource deficits.  It's a really important time to study these winter-adapted organisms.”“I love to say that there's no anonymity in winter.”“Refugia is something near and dear to my heart. These islands, Isle Royale and the Apostle Islands, really represent these interesting test beds for the concept of refugia.”“It's really important work. It's really hard work. But it's also really exciting. There's a lot of complexity of emotions you have while you're skiing these trails.”“Sometimes what you see in the tracks can be almost as exciting as seeing some of these critters in person.”Resources:Jonathan Pauli's Research Group – Learn more about his work at UW–Madison:https://pauli.russell.wisc.edu/Isle Royale National Park – Explore the park and its natural history: https://www.nps.gov/isro/index.htmApostle Islands National Lakeshore – Discover another key research site: https://www.nps.gov/apis/index.htmConnect With Us:Website: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-parks-of-lake-superior-foundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Supporting environmental sustainability in coffee-growing regions since 1993.  Learn more at https://cafeimports.com.National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation – Support vital projects by donating at: https://nplsf.org/donateBe sure to tune in to this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast to hear Jonathan Pauli's firsthand stories of survival, science, and what Isle Royale reveals in the silence of winter.

In this powerful episode Will sits down with acclaimed author and risk management expert Ty Gagne to discuss his latest book, The Lions of Winter: Survival and Sacrifice on Mount Washington. Ty takes listeners behind the scenes of the tragic 1982 search and rescue mission that claimed the life of volunteer Albert Dow—an event that forever changed New Hampshire's backcountry rescue protocols. Through gripping storytelling and deep reflection, Ty illuminates the heroism, emotional toll, and legacy of this landmark incident, shedding light on the psychological challenges faced by rescuers and the evolution of mountain safety over the past four decades. The conversation also explores the unique dangers of the White Mountains, the increasing number of unprepared adventurers, and the importance of humility and preparation when heading into unpredictable wilderness environments. Ty shares a poignant personal story about witnessing a breathtaking sunrise on Mount Washington just before the COVID-19 shutdown—a moment that reflects the deep connection between nature and mental wellness. As both an outdoor enthusiast and risk professional, Ty brings unparalleled insight into how outdoor tragedy can lead to meaningful change, compassion, and understanding. This episode is essential listening for anyone passionate about the outdoors, mental health, and the human stories behind survival and loss.

Mike & Amy decompress from the trauma, generously. By m_storyman_x. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. We lay there a long time silently thinking and looking at each other, thinking about being grateful to be alive, and becoming closer to each other through this ordeal. “Mike,” She whispered “Yes?” “Will you suck on my tits?” “You sure,” I asked. In answer she sat up pulled her pj top off before sliding her pants down and off. She moved over to me completely naked as I unzipped my bag. She pulled my thermals up and tossed it aside before working my longjohns down and off. She tossed them aside and then straddled me, with her hot wet pussy rubbing along my hard dick. "Please,” She whispered as she leaned her body down to bring her two hanging globes in front of my face. I reached up and took both tits in my hands, and drew them to my mouth, sucking one of her nipples deep into my mouth as I squeezed her tit into a pointy cone. "Humm” she moaned quietly “that feels so good!”We sat there for some time, my mouth working first one tit and then the other. Her groin had been rubbing my dick with her wet lips for some time before I felt her lift up and take hold of my dick. I felt her wet lips envelope my dick as she pushed against me. She moaned again as she slid down my dick, pushing her upper body until she was almost upright, her head touching the top of the tent. She leaned forward a little, putting her hands on my chest for support and then began to slowly ride up and down my dick, rising until she was almost off and then sliding down slowly until she was at the bottom, and then continued to grind her pussy back and forth on me before starting the trip again. I still had hold of her tits and put my hands to good use squeezing and massaging her tits and playing with her nipples with my fingers. It's obvious that her tits get very aroused and any attention they get, really turns her on. She set the pace, working to her liking, taking her time. I allowed her to take all the time she wanted, but she began to pick up the pace after a while, working in shorter strokes and driving against me with more force. Her actions and very tight pussy were having an effect and I was getting much closer to coming. “oh god oh god oh god” she whispered to no one in particular as her body began to shake. I pulled her lower, using her tits as handles and sucked a nipple into my mouth, rolling it against my tongue and the roof of my mouth. She ground her hips hard against me while she made small mewing sounds. She slowly lowered her body down to mine and rolled to the side, taking me with her. I continued the roll until I was on top of her, both our bodies still exposed to the cold air in the tent. “Fuck me now,” She whispered in my ear as she spread her legs wide so I could better stroke into her. She groaned and moaned quietly as I pushed my dick its full length time after time. She put her arms around my neck and pulled my head down as she pushed her tits toward my mouth as I stroked. "suck my tit,” She whispered in my ear. "Fill me with your cum. Pretend you're squirting your juice all over my tits. Pretend my tits are wrapped around your big hard dick and its poking into my mouth with each stroke.” She panted in my ear. “Oh you feel so good,” She said in a squeaky voice. "You're going to make me cum again,” I drove my dick deep into her and groaned as her body shuddered in time with my first squirt of cum. I unloaded shot after shot of hot juice into her, finally lowering myself on top of her, spent. We rolled onto my sleeping bag, both of us tired and drained, and starting to get cold. She snuggled against me, laying half on top of me. I zipped us in, snuggled like a cocoon. "That felt so nice. I haven't been screwed in almost five years,” She said as she nuzzled my neck. "I'm glad you liked it,” I said, worried about where this is going. "You know, Nancy can never know about this,” She said quietly. "No. It's going to be hard enough to explain being naked with you earlier.” “I know,” she said. We can't keep it a secret, you know the guys will tell everyone when we get back. I think we better say you had on underwear. Nancy won't like it, but she can accept that,” She said obviously having thought this through already. "Ok. What about this,” I asked "She can't know about it. Once we're back, this never happened and never will again.” “Agreed,” I said. "Good. Now let's just enjoy the closeness we've discovered and get some sleep. We have a long hike tomorrow yet.” “Yes ma'am,” I joked, holding her close. We fell asleep like that, her head snuggled to my neck and one leg draped across my body. Morning broke clear and sunny. The morning sun had cleared the trees before either of us got up and moving. I could hear the guys hard at it, with a fire crackling and snapping. "I think we need to get up,” I whispered. "Feels like you're already up,” She whispered as she grabbed my morning hardon. "Nothing unusual,” I confessed. "You always have one of these in the morning,” She asked as she pulled herself on top of me, her legs spread on either side of mine. "I could get used to that,” She said as she pushed her body against my dick, sliding it inside her hot pussy. "Oh Yess,” She hissed quietly. "I definitely could,” she said as she began to rock her hips against me. "Oh damn,” she said a few minutes later, as my dick neared explosion inside her. “You get so big!” “Hope you're ready,” I whispered, trying to hold back. "Don't hold back. I want to feel it,” She panted "Okay,” I said, quietly letting the feelings take over. It was only a minute more and my body stiffened and began pumping cum into her pussy, my hips pushing up into her with each pulse of my dick. To my surprise her body started shaking and trembling as she started to cum around me, her pussy squeezing my pulsing dick. "God I missed that,” She whispered after we could both breathe normally again. She unzipped the bag and rolled off of me, our juices drooling out of her. She looked around for her underwear and found it, using it to wipe the cum off my sleeping bag and off her pussy. She rolled onto her own bag and the two of us set to work getting dressed. We crawled out of the tent together and walked over to the guys for some breakfast. After eating I headed to the woods for a bathroom break. I needed a good constitutional. I looked around for a good log to sit on, and was busy with my pants around my ankles when Amy walked up. "Hope you don't mind company,” She said as she started pulling her snow pants down. She had her pants down to her ankles, and was butt naked. I watched as she crouched down and peed, using some TP she brought to wipe herself. She stood up and faced me. Giving me the first really good look at her pussy I had. "Do you like how it looks?” “Very much,” I said. "Good,” She said as she turned around and bent over to pull her pants up, giving me a long slow look at her exposed pussy before pulling them up. "I'm glad you like how it looks. I'm not used to anyone looking at my body but me.” “It's a very nice looking body. I wouldn't mind giving that pussy a good licking!” “Oh? She said looking around. What about my breasts,” she asked as she pulled her coat apart and pulled up her shirt to show me her tits in the sunshine. "Yep. I could suck on those beauties all day,” I said as I stood up. She turned around while I wiped and turned back when I was done, stepping over to me as I was pulling my pants up. "I think you have a good-looking dick too,” She whispered as she moved close and squeezed my cock before kissing me on the cheek. "I wonder what the guys are going to think,” I said as we walked back toward camp. "That I accidently went the wrong way,” She said simply as we waded through the snow. It was a long day, but we made our ten miles before dark. The team was thinking about winter survival, but Amy was inwardly obsessed with her sexuality, waking from a 5-year hibernation. She was alive! The team could see her zest and joyfulness, but they probably attributed it to her gratitude; surviving a near-death crisis. We set camp and got dinner going. We all sat around and talked about aspects of winter camping, including hygiene. I told them that normally I would take a hot water shower about once every few days, and a sponge bath every other day. I explained that you could do sponge bath with only two liters of water and a camp towel. We heated water and let each of the guys get a chance to clean up one at a time in their tents. I went next and then let Amy go last, just before going to bed. After all the guys were bedded down, I looked at the sky and saw the heavy clouds rolling in before I crawled into my tent, finding Amy laying in her bag, all zipped up. A warm-up is on the way, along with some fresh snow I whispered as I started pulling off my clothes. When I was completely naked, and before I could pull my sleeping stuff on, Amy unzipped and tossed opened her bag, revealing that she was completely naked. "I have a question,” She whispered. "What's that?” “Did you really want to lick my pussy?” “Hell yes! Why?” “I don't know. I mean, I haven't tried oral sex since I was a teenager,” She said hesitantly. "But I think I want to with you.” “I see,” I said quietly. I moved over to her and pushed her back down to her back, and then crawled over the top of her, my knees straddling her head and my hard dick poking down at her face and my hands along side her hips. "Do whatever you think would feel good for me. Just don't bite,” I whispered before lowering my head to her pussie. I gently kissed around her pussy lips and then licked between them ever so slowly while she kissed the head of my dick and tentatively licked me. She spread her knees to invite me to explore deeper. I licked down her pussy and then pushed my tongue into her as far as I could go before pulling it out and working my tongue back up to her clit, while she wrapped her lips around my dick. I flicked my tongue across her clit, making her buck her hips up at me and moan around my dick. She was sopping wet, obviously thinking about this for a good part of the afternoon. I worked my tongue down again and pressed it into her as far as I could before moving back up to concentrate on her clit once again. She made no pretense of even trying to focus on my dick any longer, and just sucked it in her mouth, as she bucked her hips at my face, moaning around my dick. She was experiencing a sexual awakening from a 5-year slumber, and it overwhelmed her consciousness. As sensitive as her clit was, I had her squirming around in no time, finally making her climax while I licked and sucked her pussie. I held her climax as long as I could before she clamped her legs around my head to stop my actions. I lifted my head out of her crotch and rolled over onto my own sleeping bag. I worked around so I was laying on my back and Amy crawled over me, making another attempt at my dick. "Just do what you think would make me feel good,” I whispered. She nodded as she enveloped my dick with her mouth slowly working up and down my shaft as far as she could. She was very tentative at first, not sure if she would like it. Her motions became more animated as she got into it, slurping the head and stroking my dick up and down with her hand. She sucked and licked and swirled her tongue around my head, slowly working her body around until her pussie was over my face. She was obviously turned on again from experiencing my dick as she lowered her pussy to my face, which I eagerly licked and sucked. My whole dick twitched repeatedly as she moaned around it. "I'm going to cum,” I grunted in warning. Instead of pulling off like I expected her to, she sucked even harder, gagging slightly on the first blast of cum. As my second shot pulsed into her mouth she pushed her pussie down on my face and started humping against my chin. I felt her body tense up and a trickle of her own juices run down my chin as my fourth and fifth spurts of cum emptied into her mouth. I could feel some of my cum dripping out of her now open mouth as she gasped for breath, trying to deal with her own orgasm. We stayed coupled in that 69 position for several minutes before she rolled off, her body still heaving for breath. She spun around on her ass and laid next to me. "That was more fun than I expected,” She said quietly "You learned quickly.” “Thank you,” She said as she cuddled with her head on my chest. I zippered us into my bag and we drifted off to sleep, both of us content for the moment. I woke up in the middle of the night needing to go pee. Sex has that effect. Amy woke as I was trying to extract myself from her and my sleeping bag. "Where are you going,” she asked sleepily. "Gotta go pee.” “Oh,” she said “That sounds like a good idea.” Normally I would just pull on my boots and sprint out to a tree, being already dressed in thermal long johns. But tonight I was naked. “What are you doing,” she asked as I looked around for clothes in the darkness of the tent. "Trying to find something to put on.” “So why don't we just go naked” she asked. “First off, its cold, second the guys might see us.” “First off, so what? We've both been through cold and survived. Second off, they're asleep and it's dark out. Third I think you're chicken.” “Not at all,” I said as I pulled on wool socks. "If you want to do this then get your naked ass up too.” “Fine I will,” She said as she pulled her boots on her bare feet. I unzippered the tent and scooted out into a winter wonderland. The night was warmer than last night, and it must have been in the high twenties, with no wind. Large fluffy flakes of snow were falling gently in a blanket that was already several inches thicker than when we went to bed. Amy slid out of the tent after me, quickly catching up and taking my hand. "This is fun,” She whispered "It's cold,” I whispered back as we walked off into the woods a ways from the camp. I found a good place to stop behind a pine, and let fly. "I can warm you up,” She said stepping behind me and taking hold of my flowing dick in one hand while cupping my balls with the other. I'm used to peeing in the woods, but I had to admit that having her hold onto my fire hose and directing it's aim, was going to give me a hardon pretty quick. It was a good thing I was already going, or I my prostate never would have allowed my plumbing to get started. As soon as I was done, she started stroking me, and kept it up, her body pressed against mine from behind until I was very hard. "My turn,” She said as she let go and stepped around me. She squatted leaning back against a tree and let go herself, watering the ground close to where I was. "That feels better,” She said as she stood up. "Come on,” She said walking toward a larger pine that had fallen over. She stepped up onto the trunk, which lifted her body nearly a foot, bringing her tits to my face level. "Now how about sucking these tits,” she asked as the snow fell around us. It was chilly, but hormones can have a serious warming effect. I stepped up to her and went to work sucking and licking her erect nipples. there we were, buck naked except for boots, and pleasuring each other as the snow fell on us in the woods. "Oh god yes,” She said loudly. "This feels so damn good!” “Shush” I pleaded “They won't hear anything,” she said as she pulled my face back to her chest. "Besides, I want you to ravage me in the snow,” In response I moved my hand to her pussy as she spread her legs to give me better access. I stroked her clit and slid a finger deep into her wet pussy as my other hand cupped her ass. "oh yes,” she said throwing her head back. "god I am so turned on.” “In that case,” I said stepping back and pulling her down off the log. I turned her around and she bent over and leaned her hands on the log, spreading her ass & legs. I moved my dick to her pussy and pushed easily into her. "Uh” she grunted loudly as I stroked into her, pinching her nipples for a moment. The woods listened to us both grunting and our skin slapping, the snow dampening the sounds around us. She cried out once as her body stiffened and trembled as her orgasm washed over her body. I could feel her pussy clenching tightly around my dick, wanting to squeeze the juices from it, which it gladly gave up as my own body drove deep into her and began unleashing its flow of creamy juice. I grabbed her hips with both hands and leaned back as I pressed my rod deep into her. Time after time my dick pulsed, putting another squirt of cum deep into her pussy before I finally slowed to a drool. She stood up as straight as she could without me falling out of her, reached her arm over her head, and pulled my head down over her shoulder to her own turned head, so she could kiss my cheek as I wrapped my arms around her and cupped her ‘goose-pimpled' breasts. “God I'm going to miss this,” She said quietly. "How so?” “I eventually got used to not ever having sex. It wasn't abrupt. It just got less & less frequent, then it ended altogether. Now, after this amazing experience, it will be harder to shut it down” “Just out of curiosity, what did you do?” “Oh I have a nice box of toys & favorite videos.” “I'd like to see that some time,” I said as my softening dick slipped from her pussy. "But for now I think we better get back into the tent before we freeze. "Ok,” She said, turning and walking up the hill holding my hand. We slipped into our tent and snuggled down into my bag and zipped us into our cocoon. "Last day tomorrow,” She said quietly. "I know.” “Are you going to miss it,” she asked. "You mean having sex with you,” "uh huh.” “Yes, but it wouldn't be fair to Nancy to keep doing it,” I said. "No,” she agreed, as she pushed her face tighter into my neck. I felt a tear drop to my shoulder and run down as she cried silently. I held her close until her breathing slowed and she was asleep. Morning broke gray and dreary. I could hear the sound of the guys moving around, and unzipped my bag and slid out, leaving Amy under the covers. It only took me a minute to pull my clothes on and slide out of the tent. We had gotten another foot of heavy snow overnight and it was still coming down. It was going to be a tough 8 miles back to the trail head today. I spent the next hour working with the guys on the fire and getting water and such ready for the day's trip. Amy crawled out of the tent just as breakfast was getting done. Last day and the supplies were getting down to the end. All we had was oatmeal and hot cocoa. Filling, but not eggs and such. It took another half hour to pack up the tents and get headed down the trail. The eight mile hike should have taken us about 3 hours in dry conditions, in the two foot deep snow it took us a full eight exhausting hours. "We're back,” The guys shouted as they made the last sprint to the vehicles. "Thank god,” Amy said, clearly exhausted from trudging through the snow. "I vote for a hotel and a shower,” I said loudly as I unlocked the truck. Our plan was to camp out near the vehicles and leave in the morning. "Sounds like a good idea to me,” One of the guys echoed. We loaded all our gear and headed into town for a hotel and got three rooms. The guys shared two rooms, each, and Amy and I shared the third. The guys figured that we shared a tent all week there was no point in spending extra money for another room, besides there were two beds in a room anyway. We agreed reluctantly, on the outside anyway. We all agreed to go eat in an hour, giving everyone a chance to shower and change. Amy was stripping off clothes almost before I had the door closed. "Come on. I want to shower with you,” She said with a giggle as she tossed her clothes over her shoulder as she stripped. As soon as she was naked she came over and helped strip me and then practically drug me off to the shower. "Hmm” she hummed as the hot water cascaded over us. “This is so much better than ice water.” “I agree with that,” I said as I began soaping her body, paying special attention to her tits and pussy. "I'm really horny. Will you fuck me right here.” "In the shower?” “uh huh. After today I don't get to do this ever again, so I want to try everything that I can.” “It would be my pleasure,” I said as I put my hands under her butt and lifted her up. It took a few stabs, so to speak, before I got engaged and lowered her down onto my dick. Her pussie was hot and I could feel her cervix pushing against the head of my dick as she held on to my neck with her arms and my waist with her legs. I bounced her up and down my shaft and listened to her moan how good it felt and how full I made her. Her soapy body slid up and down mine as the two of us drew closer to climax. It came on her almost suddenly, her body shaking and her grip tightening around my neck, smashing her face against mine. I was close but not quite over the top. She then moved her legs and stood on the edge of the tub, bending her knees to get the height right, grabbing the shower curtain rod for stability. I held her firm ass for leverage and started stroking straight up into her pussy, slamming out bodies together under the warm spray. "Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck” she mumbled as my dick grew thicker, drawing closer to my own release. She leaned her body back slightly and I watched her tits bounce and giggle. I was nearly there. “Wait, stop,” she said quickly. I pulled out of her and held her close, thinking I had hurt her. "I want to feel you fuck my tits,” She said as she got down from the edge of the tub and knelt down, bringing her tits to my dick level. I moved the spray off her head while she used some shampoo on my dick and her tits. She pressed them together around my dick and I started stroking my fat dick up and down, my balls rubbing against her body as the head of my dick poked out between her tits. "That's it. Come for me. I want to see you cum,” she cooed. I continued to stroke up and down, grunting as I once again came closer to climax. "Okay,” I panted as my balls drew up to fire. I pushed one more time, bringing the head of my dick up and out of her tits, the first shot of cum shooting into the air between us and landing on her tits. I continued to stroke, each time I came out another string of white goo flew into the air and landed on her tits or face. I stopped stroking as my dick stopped shooting and reduced to a drool of cum out the tip. "God that was hot,” Amy said as she stood up, cum dripping down her face and tit. "I've seen it in porn movies, but never had anyone actually do it. God what a turn on,” she said as she rubbed my cum around on her soapy tits. "It was pretty damn hot watching my cum splashing all over your tits.” She pulled me close and rose on her tippy toes to kiss me on the lips. To this point we had pretty much avoided serious kissing, but this one was a full face, sharing tongues, sloppy wet ‘fuck me' kiss. “Thank you,” She said when we could breathe again. "My pleasure,” I joked. "But we better get dressed. The guys will be ready to eat any time now. "How long have we been in here,” she asked. "Almost an hour.” “Damn,” she said as she quickly turned around and rinsed off. She shut off the water and we quickly dried and headed out to the room to dress. She pulled some clothes out of her bag, like all of us, having brought some extra clothing to change into for the trip home, so we didn't all have to smell like trail. She had a long skirt and turtleneck, which she put on without her bra or panties. "Aren't you afraid of showing off for the guys,” I asked as I pulled my briefs and a pair of jeans on. "I've been going all week without a bra, if they haven't noticed yet, that's their fault. "They might get ideas.” “I doubt it. But what my real intent is so that when we get back here you are so horny from thinking about me not wearing anything under this that you'll be ready to jump my bones and screw me silly all night.” “That sounds like a good plan, as long as I get enough sleep to drive tomorrow.” “OH, I'll keep you awake somehow,” She said with a grin as she walked up and gave me another ‘fuck me' kiss. Dinner ended up being at a little diner down the road. The whole bunch of us had a great time eating and talking and just enjoying not being around a campfire. The food was really good, but then anything would be really good after four days of dehydrated rations. We returned to the hotel rooms and I said I was going to bed to get some sleep. Amy hung out with the guys for a few more minutes before coming to the room. I was already laying in bed with the TV on, when she came in and closed the door. "If you're not naked you better get that way,” She said as she walked over to the bed and started pulling the sheet back. She kicked off her boots and climbed up on the bed, walking across my naked form, my already hard dick pointing at the ceiling. "So were you thinking about me being naked under this skirt?” “Yep,” I said, stroking her bare leg as she slowly pulled the skirt higher. "You like what you see,” she asked coyly as she exposed her pussie and spread her legs for me to see. "Uh huh.” “How about these,” she asked, pulling her shirt up to expose her tits. "Very much.” “Good,” She said as she left her stretchy shirt hooked above her tits and then lifted the skirt again. "I've been thinking about this all through dinner,” She said as she pulled her skirt up and started to crouch down over my dick. I held my dick up for her and she pushed her pussy down over me, as she squatted, her skirt held up and back by her bent knees. "OH FUCK,” she said loudly as she felt her cervix pressing against the head of my dick. She began to bounce on my dick, the springiness of the bed doing most of the work while we held hands to give her balance. It had to be hard on her legs, but she didn't seem to care as she threw her head back and concentrated on finding that perfect spot. We stayed in that position for nearly ten minutes before she shook and cried out quietly that she was coming. I watched her pussy leak its juices around my dick as she shook and shuddered. "God that was good,” She said as she lifted herself off my dick. "I'm glad you enjoyed it.” She pulled her skirt off and tossed it aside before pulling her top off and adding it to the pile. “Let's find a porn movie,” She said picking up the tv remote and laying down naked next to me. I had the heat up so there was no real need for covers. She found a video on the adult channel about a guy and some cheerleaders. She curled up against me and stroked my still hard dick as the movie started. I had my arm around her playing with one of her tits while I watched. We got to a point where there was a busty cheerleader riding his dick, facing away from him. She crawled into the same position and aimed my dick at her pussie and began to ride up and down like in the video, stroking herself on my dick. I had gotten off a whole lot of times in the last four days, and the last one in the shower was especially big, so I had plenty of staying power. She continued to ride me, bringing herself to another climax along with the girl in the video. At this point the guy turned her on her back and started fucking her while she was on her back with her ass in the air and her legs spread wide in the air. "Do you want to do that,” she asked as she rolled off of me and tried to mimic the position. "Why not,” I answered as I knelt on the bed and pushed my dick down into her. It was an interesting angle, with my dick pressing against someplace really good on her, from the sound of her moaning. I was getting very close to cumming when my dick slipped out of her wet pussy, partly because my balance was going as I started to climax, and partly because she had started to cum a third time herself. My dick started shooting cum all over her body, landing in long strings across her body and face. She lowered her legs and I stood there, dripping my cum on her as we laughed at each other. Finally I climbed off the bed and got a towel to wipe her off with. We curled up on the bed and watched the end of the movie, including some girl on girl action, before we drifted off to sleep. Morning came and we showered one final time together after having some gentle sex in bed. I woke the guys and headed down to the breakfast in the hotel while Amy dressed. We decided we better give the appearance of not dressing together. Breakfast was an easy continental breakfast and then we started getting ready to head out. We had one last kiss before we left the hotel room, knowing that it would be our last. The trip home was long and slow, both of us dreading having to explain to my wife how we ended up naked together, and to convince her that it was a onetime thing and there was nothing to it besides survival. We both hoped that the fact that I was rescuing Amy, her best friend, would make the difference. If I were my wife, I don't know if I would believe me. Epilogue That was over four years ago. I am still happily married to my wife. Our two families are still as close as they were, and when we are together, Amy and I still act like we did before, except for maybe a bit tighter hug when we meet. I have to admit though, when I am fishing at her lake, she frequently comes out of the house to stand on the porch naked for me to see, and I have been known to sneak onto her porch to peek into the large patio door that looks into her bedroom. She politely leaves the curtains open when she knows I am coming out to go fishing. I have watched her shower through the open doors and even stood on one side of the glass and jacked off while she sat on the other using a dildo or vibrator. Both of us know that we can't ever have sex again, but the teasing has gone to a whole new level. By m_storyman_x for Literotica

It's that time of year—dark, cold, and let's be real, kind of miserable. In this episode, we are breaking down everything you need to know about seasonal depression (aka SAD), why your energy is all over the place, and how your circadian rhythm plays into it. Jess and I spill the tea on serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine—those little hormones making winter feel extra rough—and share our favorite hacks to beat the seasonal slump. From caffeine timing (yes, you're probably doing it wrong) to why light exposure is your new bestie, we've got tips to help you feel like yourself again. Think of this as your ultimate guide to surviving winter without losing your mind—or your motivation. Tune in, laugh a little, and leave with a game plan that actually works. Don't forget to share this with a friend who's also stuck in hibernation mode!

In some areas, the snowstorm dumped several feet of snow in a matter of a couple of hours. This happened during the height of that year's holiday travel season. The snowstorm knocked out power for more than 100,000 people, it paralyzed most emergency services, it effectively stopped travel in general, and when all was said and done, it left at least 47 people dead. Some of those people died as a result of heart complications, because they over-exerted themselves shoveling snow. However, a significant portion of the deaths were a result of motorists who were trapped in their vehicles for an extended period of time, in freezing temperatures, beyond the reach of any emergency service personnel. These people sadly, literally, froze to death in their cars and trucks. And we've seen this sad scenario play out many times before when a natural disaster strikes. People assume, sometimes fatally, that first responders will be able to make it to them and save them from a desperate situation. But unfortunately, that's not always the case. Sometimes, you really have to be your own first responder. And so in that vein, since we're heading into the winter season, here are some recommendations on things that you can do to protect yourself and your family.
