This scene from Terminator 2 in the last few years has had me thinking about how you should be preparing kids for an uncertain future (not the blowing things up and weapons, but disaster preparedness and survival skills). "Here's how to perfect your golf game" isn't gonna do it.

Stuff they should know (all Boy Scout skills, btw): 1. Basic first aid. 2. Properly using a pocket knife and hatchet 3. How to build and start a fire (safely) 4. How to cook your own meals in the wilderness over an open fire

5. Basic navigation NOT using a phone, using a map and compass and general navigation skills when you don't have either of those. Reading a map, especially.

Since people are asking, how to geolocate a #hiker given only a general location and a grainy photo of their legs hanging off a cliff (thread) 1/x

1. Identify the general area (if available) of where the hiker was known to be. In this case, the location was near Mt. Waterman (a well known area in the Angeles Crest, popular with hikers). 2/x

@SEBLASD

2. If someone is lost along the Angeles Crest (if you keep tabs on the posts of @SEBLASD they post regularly on rescues), you find they are either NORTH of the Angeles Crest Highway or SOUTH of the Angeles Crest Freeway. How do we figure out which one here? 3/x

Widespread reports of a #meteor or #space junk re-entering the atmosphere in the Pacific Northwest (#WA #OR #Seattle), so checked GOES-West and there *is* an interesting cloud that appeared recently. (upper left of this image)

Here's the GOES image of that spot.

I've recently become involved in my city's climate planning efforts--asked to add my input into city efforts to develop a climate change mitigation plan. It's been informative, yet, illustrates the dilemma we have in making substantive progress against a very hard problem. 1/x

As someone who has not been engaged in politics (hate conflict, hate sitting in meetings, frustrated by choosing this by consensus vs. the best technical solution, and frustrations of how slow moving it is, disillusionment with politicans), I have dreaded getting involved. 2/x

But, I found that I'm a little "younger" than the typical folks involved in our city planning (not all that young, in my 40's... but still younger than most of those involved)--and I feel I'm pretty informed, especially on the technology front--so I felt I should engage. 3/x
