An uncontacted tribe in Peru was recently spotted along a river making big headlines recently. They are related to another close tribe and are currently fighting loggers trying to take their land. The push for taking logging licenses to help support these people has grown. Their name, "Mashco Piro," means "people from the edge of the river" in their language.







Efforts have been made by various organizations and the Peruvian government to respect their desire for isolation while also providing protection and assistance when needed. However, contact with outsiders can pose risks to their health due to exposure to diseases for which they have no immunity. Therefore, efforts are typically made to minimize contact and to allow the Mashco Piro to continue their way of life autonomously.

Boater safety courses are educational programs designed to teach individuals about safe boating practices, regulations, and techniques. These courses are important for both novice and experienced boaters to enhance their knowledge and skills, ensuring safety on the waterways. While boating can be fun an uneducated operator can lead to a bad summer.



Boater safety courses may vary in duration and format, ranging from online courses with certification exams to in-person classes with hands-on training. Many states and countries require boater education certification for certain age groups or types of vessels, making these courses essential for legal compliance and safer recreational boating.

Hydrolysis or dry-rot is a chemical process where a compound reacts with water, causing it to break down into simpler components. This reaction typically involves the cleavage of chemical bonds within the compound, with water molecules participating in the breaking of these bonds. Many people have issues with unused boots, like a car the longer you park it the more it deteriorates. Hydrolysis is also contagious so if you notice dry-rot throw those boots away and come let the Charlotte outfitters get you ready for your next dry-rot free hike!



Hydrolysis loves to attack unused boots and shoes so make sure to check your old hiking boots out and come get some new ones at Jesse Brown's!

There are many differences between our founder, Jesse Brown, and the Korean War hero, Jesse Brown.



Our Jesse was born in 1933 and lived a long life. He started Jesse Brown’s Backpacking Mountaineering Canoeing Kayaking in 1970. The store’s concept came from time spent in Manhattan visiting outdoor stores while he was employed as a corporate pilot for J.P. Stevens Textile Firm.



Two of Jesse’s passions were the outdoors and flying. One led to the other and we continue to promote the outdoor lifestyle through the brick-and-mortar outdoor store based in Charlotte, NC, and the website www.jessebrowns.com. The company also uses this format to focus on outdoors in the Carolinas with the Carolina Outdoors radio show and podcast.



The Jesse Brown featured in the film was born just seven years earlier (1926) than our Jesse, and enlisted in the Navy at age 20 as a young African-American man with an interest in aviation. He earned his pilot wings in 1948 and was the recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross. He flew twenty combat missions before being shot down while supporting ground troops at the Chosin Reservoir. Jesse Brown became the first African American naval officer killed during the Korean War at the age of 24.







As for our Jesse Brown. He lived into the 21st century and his name continues to adorn Jesse Brown’s Outdoors and our website www.jessebrowns.com. We stay devoted to our clients by providing selection, service, and commitment to our community.

Jesse Leroy Brown was a trailblazing African American aviator who broke significant racial barriers in the United States Navy. Born on October 13, 1926, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Brown's journey from a humble background to becoming the first African American naval aviator is a remarkable story of resilience, determination, and heroism.



Brown's early life was marked by the challenges of growing up in the segregated South during the Great Depression. Despite these hardships, he excelled academically and showed an early interest in aviation, inspired by stories of pioneering aviators like Charles Lindbergh. His parents, John and Julia Brown, were sharecroppers who emphasized the importance of education. This encouragement played a crucial role in shaping Brown's aspirations.



In 1944, Brown graduated as valedictorian from Eureka High School and went on to attend The Ohio State University. His time at Ohio State was not easy; he faced significant racial discrimination, but he persevered. Brown's determination to become a pilot led him to apply for the U.S. Navy's V-5 aviation cadet training program. Despite initial rejections due to racial prejudices, his persistence paid off, and in 1947, he was accepted into the program.



Training at Glenview Naval Air Station in Illinois, Brown quickly proved his mettle. He endured and overcame the additional pressures of being the only African American in his class, facing scrutiny and discrimination. His graduation in 1948 was a landmark moment, making him the first African American to earn the Navy’s gold wings of a naval aviator. This achievement was a significant step forward in the integration of the U.S. military, coming just a year after President Harry S. Truman's Executive Order 9981, which desegregated the armed forces.



Brown's naval career took him to various assignments, including flying F4U Corsairs with Fighter Squadron 32 (VF-32) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Leyte. His role as a fighter pilot during the Korean War placed him in the...
