Have you had random thoughts after reading social media? Most people do and never talk about those thoughts. They simply have those thoughts, agree with themselves that they are correct, and move on; never having brought those thoughts into the public consciences. Well, here is your opportunity to listen to my mind! Walk with me as I have a variety i=of individual thoughts, on unique or horribly opposing topics, and rationalize my way through them.

A thru-hike is a very long-distance hike. For example, the Appalachian Trail runs from Georgia to Maine to the tune of about 2,100 miles. Starting at one end and walking to the other is called a Thru-Hike. So, doesn’t it make sense to use hikers to perform a planetary survey on a new planet? The hikers can survey, inspect, learn, and report what they find — contracted for one planetary year. They experience something new, something extraordinary. The result is an insight into this new world and the ability to quickly create a viable colony while allowing the planet to flourish. While hiking, some of the contracted hikers develop new skills, and these advanced or enhanced, humans become a part of this new world, and the world has become a part of them. They have a connection to the planet, the creatures. It is not this group who needs to be watched, but it is their children, for they are the future of humanity.

Camping and enjoying camping should be the same thing. However, when you start to camp, you may not know certain things to make the experience more enjoyable.

Nearly 100 pages of instruction and information, and chock full of cooking tips. Cooking in the home, at the campsite, and yes, even on the backpacking trail to help build your confidence. After all, you do need to eat, and eating well will always make a cloudy day a lot sunnier!

Camping is always better when the experience is shared!

Seriously, the hardest thing for someone to teach a new Scout when cooking is a stove, or the fire, or on charcoal for that matter is that there are a lot more levels of heat than OFF and MAX. Cooking over low or medium heat is better and safer for the meal in some respects than cooking on a blast furnace. It saves propane too! Plan for the extra time, you will be rewarded when you eat. Don’t get me wrong, there are times that a blazing hot surface is what is needed; the steak to get that perfect seer for example. So pick this up and bring it to your next troop meeting. Let the Scouts look it over and see if there is anything they would like to try out for the first time. You, AND THEY, will be surprised as to how easy and how good some of these recipes really are, especially in the woods!!

She misses her family and the other members of the settlement, but soon Ramona will be on the collection, which is good. A military department is assigned with creating a very high-resolution map of the Earth and is about to map the community's location.

Brigit's first husband, Brad, who was killed in a bear attack, returns to tell her about the mapping and the security of the Hill Life community. Do they protect the community from those in the universe or allow the community to join the universe and learn about life outside the Hill Life community?

This is a Star Trek story based around the time before Star Trek: The Next Generation. This is the story of the USS Scorpion, NCC-4017, and their mission to infiltrate the Romulan Star Empire. This is the Star Trek universe but not the characters you know
The TV Series ended abruptly and I hate when a loop is not closed. Here is the next episode in the series and and maybe a little beyond.
This is designed for use when you need to bug out or provide guidance if you are in the wilderness, alone, and in need of assistance, help, or rescue. It is also a great resource for those new to survival, camping, and backpacking. Read through it a couple of times, so when you need it, the information is there at the front of your mind.

I have always been fascinated by the Star Trek: Voyager episode, The 37s. This is where they initially find a 1936 Ford pickup truck floating in space. The gas and the rust create breadcrumbs to the planet, where they find a propeller airplane emitting an S-O-S. They figure out where it came from and find people in a cold sleep, suspended animation. One of them is Amelia Earhart. We all know Voyager made it home with the assistance of a time traveling Admiral Janeway, but the development of the Quantum Slipstream drive took a few more decades. Now that it is installed in the USS Voyager-A, Admiral Janeway takes it back where her adventure began, the Alpha quadrant. Along the way she meets up with the Kazon, and stops to visit with Nelix and the Talaxian colony. But ultimately, her goal is to make it to that planet, the planet with her friend, Amelia Earhart. Join the crew of Voyager-A, old and new, on this journey into their history, their journey into their future.
