This is all part of the fun I have compiling the Leader Guide. I also enjoyed seeing Pony Party Pictures from Rainbow Ridge Farm Equestrian Center.

Sunday, Campmastering
Various things said during the weekend:Continue reading
Saturday, Campmastering
During our rounds, we checked in on the leaders from yesterday and ran into them handing out cigars. Which would have been fine until they started walking towards the woods where their kids were building emergency shelters. I told them about the BSA’s no smoking around kids policy,Continue reading
Friday, Campmastering
Only three units were in camp this weekend which led to us hoping nothing interesting would happen. We were wrong. All units had check in and we were sitting in Totem reflecting on how amazing we were when Andy Zeek’s eyes widen. Continue reading
Zombie Survival Merit Badge
I ran a session today on how to avoid bullets during a firefight based on a wikihow.org article largely to positive response. I’d like to expand this to a merit badge-like program at camp along with other activities like how to barricade a door, kill a zombie and jump off of a building into a garbage truck. Ideas?

Good job, Carson
I was cleaning my room when I found the following on a partial card in my room: “You did not get Textiles because you didn’t go. You can’t get textiles without going, and you didn’t go, so you’re not getting it. If you did go, you can get it, but I don’t think you did” signed NC from DB or Nick Carson
Tasty tasty hubris
I set up WPA encryption on my WLAN today and for a brief moment relived the days of 8-bit Nintendo passwords. I copied down the randomly generated code from a page and copied and pasted it into the router setup menu. I then went to the device and tried to copy it back and quickly was struck prone by the similarities between “1” vs. “l” and “O” vs. “0”. In the 63 character code, 6 such characters created 64 possible combinations. And I got it, after 38 tries. You may be saying “why didn’t you just make a new code?”. I didn’t because I’m a stubborn proto-actuary that thought a knowledge of combinatorics would somehow change probability and inadvertently learned what hubris tastes like.
I have no idea where this skillet I'm using is
I was looking for my electric skillet that I had left at camp I had asked around and got no response until one person mentioned he hadn’t seen it, but indicated that the electric griddle he’d found sure made great eggs. *Laser beams*
Why do I hate the Socratic Method?
My IH0052 Instructor conducts classes by primarily asking questions AKA the Socratic Method. Â As the Faulknerian Idiot Man Children in our class seemed incapable of answering without simply restating the question and I get rather bored showing my greater breadth of knowledge in all things animal, vegetable and mineral, I I asked him if he planned on doing so the entire semester. to which he responded “what is the Socratic Method?” Â I nearly committed my first hate crime.
This post may not seem funny to most people, but if you’ve ever seen me bludgeon Dan DiSalvo, Kenny Moritz, or any one at OSR that uses the Socratic Method you’d know the approximate wattage of the beams of rage coming from my eyes at my teacher’s response could have lit candles at a distance or melted steel.
