South China Islands- OMG

If it's anything to the Newly elect and his entourage, the other hemisphere is going to be able to get along just fine without USA intervention.

China & the South China sea are and should remain off limits to the USA. In fact, something that would help the world much more than USA military intervention is to simply TAKE AWAY 90% of credit cards belonging to US citizens. It might have helped to deter the consequental severe pollution that outsourcing USA managers and production though grants that was created in the 90's by a decade.

 I guess I have a sore spot since I can only compare that island situation to my entry to the APEC meeting Nov. 11, 2011 the day before Japan announced interest in the TPP that is now being bashed by Trump. I walked in between line of shooters with M-16's on one side of me aimed at the Chinese protestors on the other side of me for my arrival to the Symposium I attended. I held my breath for that walk through the door with eyes wide open. I'm EX-IM family expedable they say...yet i'm supposed to worry more about "terrorists?' really!? Are you all f'n kidding me?

I don't think that anything has changed in the past 6 years with USA/China, except now worsening.  I've been on warning due to number of Chinese supporters in the USA since some of my relatives were involved in Chinese war negotiations with Japan. The number of issues with US military personnel or contractors even DOE who resided in the State of Hawaii and side with China is Huge. President Elect Donald Trump is their cover for fear of legal punishment from Hillary's team;- mostly to move weapons illegally or legally is huge. Sadly, many of these men are minorities who were/are claim to be Obama's hand picked team, or the Creme de la creme of the Hawaiian islands maffia fight scene and special forces elite.

The other thing that bothers me, is that Trump's products were made in China. So, somewhere his hands must have gotten dirty in the midst of Terrorist bankrolling of Chinese businesses. That, is something I have a HUGE problem with. And then, his team wants to send in our US Military to mess with the non-terrorist Chinese with whom the USA didn't have a hostile military engagement with prior to Trump's office!? Seriously? Not moving Trump ties anymore, looks like a weapons deal (underhanded or not) that is going to further the next 4 years of what is left of USA democracy.

Obviously believe that Japan could get along better in Asia without the USA military influence, despite Japan's past military history in Asia. I do believe that USA is giving hope to people within Asia to be more riotous. I think that stand-alone purposeful USA fact is enough  

Tsunami - Warm Climate

Surviving in a tsunami disaster zone after a tsunami;- doesn't necesarily mean you will want to follow general rules of camping. I went to Thailand 2004 to do civilian re-con of business partnerships after .

I did not bring a tent, I was able to rent one when we got to an encampment. This is what I used to survive and not contract Malaria #1 threat due to pooled water and moderate summer climate.

TSUNAMI DISASTER - CIVILIAN RE-CON PACK 1 Month. 
1. tiny bottle of Deet - used 1x on the trip and did not reapply;- due to info that the mosquito count was out of control with dead bodies, flooding, and people running for the mountains. Most areas were quarantined by the time we arrived at BKK. My travel partner for 4 days went all natural and slept in a tent. He had contracted Malaria by the 3rd day;- 1st night out of the city he had over 150 bites on him as the tent body heat attracted the mosquitoes that snuck in through the tent fabrics.
2. 7 yards heavy duty mosquito netting  - wrapped myself in it to go to sleep in the open on the ground. I probably looked like a dead body.
3. Camp mat for sleeping
4. 1 med sized internal frame Backpack 
5. Katydyn Kayak water bottle - I retrieved water from a natural stream. My hiking partner scolded me and then had an eye opener as the Government was siphoning water to water trucks just a terrace above us at the waterfall. They don't even treat the water there, so my personal filtration was better.
6. Chlorine- tiny bottle of POTABLE Water drops (chlorinated)- i put about 5-9 drops in each 50+gal barrel and it had people quietly running to the water barrels.
7. EO Frankinsence - my natural bug deterrent/ first aid kit 
8. Patagonia Atom sack - keep critical items on me with a day or 2 of Cliff Bars & passport
9. Light stick- battery powered - less noticible than a flashligh & provided safety while walking along roads at night. Enabled me to hitch rides for me and my travel companions in the dark.
10. Clothes lightweight & easy to wash and hang dry by hand. Cotton clothes had to be left behind so I brought my volunteer t-shirts ( I had a huge XXL duffel of them and packed as many as I could) Cotton is more pourous and carry more organisms, and needs detergent to be cleaned. Synthetics are better to wash in natural non-detergent soaps as they don't break down the oils;- also Synthetic clothes dry faster.

2004 Survival FOOD:
I ate grain back then & my pack was identical to someone else randomly going another direction at the airport. Our Cliff bars were stored in the same place, so I thought TSA got aggravating enough to swap out the flavors I liked for flavors I did not care for.
1. a case of Cliff Bars
2. packets of steel cut oatmeal (in flavors)
The encampment I stayed at for most of a month allowed campers to fish on their own and bring it back to the kitchen. I am vegan & allergic to shellfish;- so I ate my oatmeal each morning with a fresh banana smoothie. I had 1 meal of mostly rice, and 1 large bowl of coconut/vegetable soup each day. I actually felt great. There was somone on a bicycle who started to stop by with ziploc bags full of veggies, fish, cooked meats for sale. I was partial to the fresh peanuts for protein. We also got some fresh coconut milk and coconut, as well as using a moped for a day;- trying to get ketchup (which had become scarce). Liquor & Coffee was the easiest to obtain aka - least desirable.
