It’s up to you to decide what your concern is and prepare for it.  Practicality has a place in prepping and we like to approach being prepared with a dose of pragmatism.

Hi, If you feel like life is a constant uphill battle, and haven't found a long-term, sustainable, and effective way to become more happy, this group might be for you. I started this group to get several people together, who are currently, and have been, dealing with what might be described as "mild lingering depression". Many of us have this, but the symptoms are masked by our daily routine, staying super busy, extra intake of stimulants, self-medication with alcohol, and the list goes on. This …

There are quite a few 'peak lists' in California and we like to climb them. Some are easy and good trails lead to the top.  Others are long, difficult cross-country routes and may require some roped sections. Please evaluate the proposed hike/climb to be within your capabilities.  As many/most of these hikes will be new to all attending, everyone should have studied the route, copied topo maps, have your GPS loaded with waypoints, and be prepared to 'help' with route finding on the difficult one …

It is so sad to see children today growing up on junk food and to hear stories of parents having …
