A visit to Frosting Cave
A visit to Frosting Cave
Along the Niagara Escarpments lies dozens if not hundreds of caves. Most of these caves are small, and uncharted.
This was the first of my barefoot adventure videos. I teamed up with Jeff from Ontario Caves.com and found the entrance to the cave quite easily.
It was a cold day in the Niagara Region, I was fairly new at shooting adventure videos. The largest challenge I had with this video was the cold.
April in Ontario, Canada can be a very challenging time for barefooters. The ground may have looked warm and dry, but it was quite cold and wet. It was sunny out, but still very cold.
A Backwards Look at Liability
I’ve been told on several occasions to be careful how I promote barefoot activity. The concerned persons say I might end up liable if people end up hurting themselves. This is a completely backwards and thoroughly confusing concept to me.
How is it that our society’s collective thinking has gotten so twisted that we now believe that I could be liable if people use their feet as nature intended and that shoe companies are free from liability for weakness, stiffness, skin conditions and other ailments that are caused or exacerbated by their products? Do you see how topsy turvy that thinking is?
Things That Make You Go Hmm…: The Barefoot Edition
One of the most frustrating things for me as a barefooter is that so many of the claims criticizing barefoot activity are made without the critics giving any thought to what they are actually saying. I know that the following observations are a bit snarky and pointed, but they’re worth thinking about:
Lots of people have told me that they successfully went barefoot “all the time” as a kid, playing on rocks and gravel, in dirt, and around all kinds of dangerous things. Then they insinuate that the flat, smooth surfaces of the adult world (e.g. concrete, asphalt, tile, linolium and carpet) are too dangerous for going barefoot.

Inspiring Video “Barfuss Blues” – all the way from Germany!
This has been around for a while but it remains current for all of us barefooters. Hope we can all be inspired by it.
