Help Ned launch “Your Very Next Step” Newsletter for November 2007

This is to announce the first issue of “Your Very Next Step” newsletter,

and represents the first step of a new adventure for me, and an

adventure I hope that we can share together.

I will establish a website in 2008 for this newsletter and increase the

newsletter to a weekly. But for now, the next two issues will be

monthlies as I try to develop a personality for this community and this

attempt to bring us together to share ideas, encouragement and direction

to help us all step off on paths to new places.

What will “Very Next Step” focus upon?

Travel: From Fais to Firenze; from Singapore to Sigonella; from

Tasmania to Tetuon…your journey there starts with the very next step.

Outdoors: From hiking, climbing, camping, canoeing, kayaking, biking

and bird watching to fishing, floating, flying and festival-attending.

Adventure: That can be just about anything. From skydiving to

snorkeling; from white water rafting to rump bumping; from body surfing

to bobsledding.

People we met along the way: You meet the most interesting people off

the beaten path. And when you listen, you hear the most interesting

stories.

So here are some of the topics we'll be covering, maybe, perhaps, in no

particular order. And remember, this isn't about me and my life, it's

about you, your's and all of our experiences on this planet.

Outhouse surprises

Tips for sanitation sanity

Technology on the trail

Packing light

Staying dry

Staying warm

Best airports for layovers

Off-season surprises

I don't want this anymore. Would you like it?

Product Reviews – by both you and I (sleeping bags; hiking boots; rain

gear; travel luggage; hydration equipment; lights; sunglasses; cameras;

noise canceling headphones; and anything that helps us take another step

on a new adventure)
