I'm getting to the point where I really want to do more travelling in my life, because I've gone to Laramie and to Seattle and a few years ago I went to Portland(ish), and they were all really cool experiences and I want to do more. (At least this month I'll be going to San Diego, and I'm hoping to arrange a visit to San Francisco early next year. Mostly to see if it's somewhere I might want to end up for a while. Though probably more like where I want to end up is Santa Fe, though Santa Fe has a pronouncedly smaller tech jobs market. Though.)
The camping was really awesome. The organizers had to work around University liability, so we did have food provided and such, but we covered the basics of how to construct and where to set snares and fishing traps, and we went over different types of debris shelters and various firestarting materials from a fire bow up through a 9V battery and steel wool. We also practices a "Leave No Trace"philosophy, so we doused and buried the ashes from the fire, and we tore down and scattered the shelter materials. We also carried out all the litter we found on-site.
And basically, it cemented the fact that I want to learn way, way more about wilderness survival.
