Stand Strong

Stand Strong
Every once in a while, a crisis comes along that tests our faith.  A situation arises that reveals whether we can act according to our values or whether we are just talk.  We are now in the midst of such a situation.  We can let the fear cripple us and watch our society self-destruct, or we can fight our way through.  Every society has had leaders--men and women who remained calm in the face of adversity.  People who, despite hopeless situations, dared to defy the chaos and stood tall against the odds.  It is the footsteps of these people that we seek to follow, and we urge our tribe members to do the same.

Stay in the Fight!

Stay in the Fight!

Expeditionary

Expeditionary
An expedition is more than just a trip from one place to another.  It’s an odyssey into the wild.  There’s no infrastructure to support your endeavor.  It’s just you and what you bring with you.  You pack in your own equipment.  You move into a hostile environment, and you sustain yourself until the mission is accomplished.  You fight your way in, and you fight your way out.
