Emerald Coast Adventure

A brief highlight of adventures from the Florida panhandle.

Why am I fighting?

Because it's not a left or right issue. It's about rights and freedom.

Land of the FREE, remember? Liberty and justice for ALL.

You're not free if they're controlling mainstream media.

You're not free if they're stifling free speech.

It's not justice if they're trying to impeach judges because they don't like their ruling.

It's not justice when people don't get due process.

If you don't agree, sit back and continue to watch this country devolve into a fascist nation. That's what happened in Nazi Germany.

Just know this, I am in this fight. I will not bend the knee to Nazis.

Don't like it? Unfollow. Our views do not align.

The day is still young, and there are more protests to go, but We the People aren't going to put up with the current fascist regime any longer.

I Will Resist

I'm reviving my channel, and repurposing it. At my core I'm a lover of nature, and that will always be my calling, but right now, in this moment, in order to preserve any of the things that I and many others love, I will not be silent. This country, the United States of America, was built on freedom and basic rights- the very freedom that the fascists and oligarchs threaten. Let me be very clear: If you are only getting your news from the mainstream media - the very media that Trump and his fascist regime have threatened into telling his false narrative, you are being lied to. Dig deeper. Seek out the independent and non-biased news sources and see that there is a massive movement in this country that will not be silenced - that is not afraid to speak out against the lies. Trump's regime is afraid of the truth - that's why they are intent on controlling the narrative. They want the people to be ignorant. Resist. Educate yourself. Seek out the truth. Expose the lies. Do not let them take away our rights and freedoms. Speak up. Speak out. Speak LOUD. Stand against fascism.

Do you struggle with trying to breath properly when hiking in cold weather? Maybe you have cold-weather asthma.

Made for the Escambia/Santa Rosa County Florida Master Naturalist Program. Focusing on the Southern Flying Squirrel.

Having a flying squirrel as a pet kinda gave me a leg up on my class assignment.

Don't be the guy that gets lost on the trail and needs to be rescued. What you need for a successful hike.

Do you know how to self-rescue?

Hiking blisters. Just one of many unseen dangers on the trail.

Be responsible and vaccinate your pets. It would be a shame to lose them to a disease that could've been prevented with a simple $20 vaccine.

This is Toby, our current foster puppy. He is recovering from Parvo, a highly contagious and often fatal virus that strikes mainly puppies and dogs with compromised immune systems. Toby had been hospitalized for several days and was on i.v. drips until his veins gave out. The vet didn't give him much of a chance at survival and so the rescue group that we work with, Underdogs, asked on Monday if we'd take him home so he wouldn't be alone. We worked hard to keep him going and finally late Wednesday afternoon he started his turnaround for the better. He's still very weak, but his progress is good. Hopefully in a few weeks he'll be on to his forever home.

On a side note, Underdogs has created a fundraiser campaign to try and raise money to offset Toby and his 4 sisters medical bills (all 5 puppies had parvo.) If you'd like to help, please make a donation or share this post. Thank you!
