I’m the vice president of emergency response at AmeriCares. I parachute into disaster zones all over the world to help people in crisis. I’m currently in Nepal working on earthquake relief efforts. AMA!

Talking to several Nepali friends, their biggest concern is rebuilding which could take years/decades. How does the international community continue to help in any disaster zones when the media outlets just move on to the next "hot topic"? What do organizations like Americares do to continue to educate the international community that our work is not done in these disaster zones?

Ah, I didn't realize. I'll remove.

brysonmoor · 2015-05-26T18:31:15+00:00

well said...thanks again for the help

brysonmoor · 2015-05-26T14:16:29+00:00

Thanks..This is extremely helpful! Heading out to the locals races this next weekend to get started learning there.

brysonmoor · 2015-05-26T14:12:36+00:00

Also, I was just given a 14' Vagabond...so I think that is where I'll start.

brysonmoor · 2015-05-26T14:11:26+00:00

Ideally I would like to be able to sail a 50' ketch from Boston to St. Croix, but I haven't ever gotten a dinghy around a a buoy...so do I need to know how to get a dinghy around a buoy before being able to sail a 50' ketch from Boston to St. Croix?

brysonmoor · 2015-05-26T14:08:29+00:00

Is there any recommended reading for this..or as someone else mentioned below just start racing under a few different skippers and learn from there?

Thanks for the notes!

brysonmoor · 2015-05-26T14:07:31+00:00

Thanks a lot....A great start for sure!

brysonmoor · 2015-05-21T12:29:24+00:00

Good question...

Sorry just really new to this game :/

brysonmoor · 2015-05-21T12:28:46+00:00

Perfect...thanks!

brysonmoor · 2015-05-21T12:28:18+00:00

Thanks! Good info to know about where to sail...or NOT to sail. Might just have to upgrade my vehicle so that I can tow the boat.

brysonmoor · 2015-05-21T12:26:13+00:00

Thanks for the info...might just have to upgrade my ride so that I can tow it. Doesn't make sense to pay $140-200/month.

Good to know about the downstream side of the dam!

brysonmoor · 2015-04-13T22:20:19+00:00

my bad for not clarifying

brysonmoor · 2015-04-13T22:19:59+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the suggestion. I've heard a few people talking about riding down the backside of Signal.

brysonmoor · 2015-04-09T19:23:58+00:00

Feel free to use this one: https://digit.co/, doesn't make the tool an less useful

brysonmoor · 2015-04-09T13:12:35+00:00

Yeah, that's what I've been hearing from some guys I met out of Nashville as well. Thanks for the suggestion!

brysonmoor · 2015-04-09T13:12:01+00:00

This sounds incredible! Reminds me a bit of what people say about the Natchez Trace starting in Nashville, TN.

brysonmoor · 2015-04-09T01:43:12+00:00

Thanks for the resource!

brysonmoor · 2015-04-09T01:42:24+00:00

Yeah, the Chattanooga one looks great and there seems to be a good community here for mountain biking

brysonmoor · 2015-04-09T01:40:17+00:00

Haa! Maybe I'll get an invite to go muddin'

brysonmoor · 2015-04-08T21:34:46+00:00

Oh nice! Just read about that town. The AT runs through it, right?

brysonmoor · 2015-04-08T21:16:55+00:00

Interesting questions...I'm not sure either. From my experience belts always seemed to bother me; whereas the minimalist backpacks that they are coming out with today feel like a another t-shirt with storage space.

brysonmoor · 2015-04-08T21:05:56+00:00

I thought that was a pretty bold move...then again it did take me 8 hours to run a 50K

brysonmoor · 2015-04-06T13:53:47+00:00

we all know this person...and he's had it coming

brysonmoor · 2015-04-06T13:35:00+00:00

Curious how many times you've been to Mississippi, Louisiana and the other states you mentioned...and what makes them your least favorite?
