Outdoor literature is a literature genre about or involving the outdoors. Outdoor literature encompasses several different literature sub genre s variously called Exploration literature , Adventure literature and Nature literature . These genres can include activities such as exploration, survival, sailing, mountaineering, whitewater boating, geocaching, kayaking, etc. or writing about nature and the environment. They all involve being in the outdoors as a central theme and are usually narrative non fiction. It differs from Travel literature , although the two genres can mix and there is no definitive boundary. Henry David Thoreau s Walden 1854 is an early and influential work. Although not entirely an outdoor work he lived in a cabin nearby civilization he expressed the ideas of why people go out into the wilderness to camp, backpack and hike to get away from the rush of modern society and simplify life. This was a new perspective for the time and thus Walden has had a lasting influence on most outdoor authors. Robert Louis Stevenson s Travels with a Donkey in the C vennes 1879 , about his travels in C vennes France , is among the first popular books to present hiking and camping as recreational activities, and tells of commissioning one of the first sleeping bag s.

It is sometimes possible to completely disconnect a headlamp s battery pack, for storage on a belt or in a pocket. Lighter headlamp systems are strapped to the user s head by a single band heavier ones utilize an additional band over the top of the user s head. Headlamps that used an incandescent bulb were very common before LED s became common. Incandescent bulbs have the advantage of allowing more tightly focused beams and the use of more power than LEDs, with the disadvantages of high power consumption, fragility, poor beam pattern and inability to operate at lower power levels. Incandescent headlamps also have rapidly declining light output once the batteries start to lose voltage. Once 5mm LED s were made available to general consumer markets, they were quickly adopted for use in headlamps due to their smaller size, lower power consumption and less fragility compared with incandescent bulbs.

The title track found the Swirling Eddies in search of the elusive Elvis Presley who, according to the song, escaped the city by faking his own death and decided to make his home in the wilderness. The song makes parallels between the search for Elvis, the search for Bigfoot and mankind s search for a king or savior. This project gave the Swirling Eddies their first hit songs Driving In England which made it all the way to 1 in some markets, and Hide the Beer, the Pastor s Here which also created a small amount of controversy for the album. The latter song tells the tale of a Christian College professor that hides his own hidden sins and attacks his students for their obvious drinking habits. At the end of the song, Spot shouts out the name of Christian Colleges around the United States. Some of these colleges were upset that they were mentioned in the song while others were upset that they weren t included. One song on the album, Mystery Babylon, had earlier been premiered on the Swirling Eddies Apology Video , which had been sent out to fans that ordered the Spittle & Phlegm video collection. Outdoor Elvis marks the first appearance of new Swirling Eddies member Gene Eugene Prickly Disco . It is also the first appearance of the guest Eddie known as Miracle Babe, whom contributes background vocals on the album. Track listing Outdoor Elvis Words and music by Camarillo ... more details
