In this episode Rangers Crow and Splinter get to spend an enjoyable afternoon with one of the longest standing, active, and hard working Rangers who still does shifts on Playa AND runs around the world helping people, Ranger Fearless.
Fearless moved to Nevada to get away from a challenging lifestyle in SF and went hot springs hunting. Accidentally stumbling across the event in 1993, Fearless wanted to see the event continue and along the way, made 70,000 or so friends, helped a lot of those people out of the mud, travelled the earth in a 4x4 truck with a train whistle and radar, and spectacularly, spent a lot of time picking up other people's trash in the Black Rock Desert.
His next project is to work on providing water to the indigenous people (Wayuu) of a remote part of Columbia (La Guajira department of Colombia)
We hope you enjoy this Part 1 of the 2 Part episode - Fearless.
This is the first in the Radio Check "Council of Familiars" series. With these episodes we will delve into the stories of both current, really long standing Rangers and Rangers who have moved on from the khaki wearing world to other pursuits.
The real dream of The Council of Familiars is to create a space, a mindset, a club, that people who have been involved in leadership within the organization for a long time can still stay somewhat involved with what is going on in the Rangers even after they stopped Rangering in BRC.

Hello listeners!
Today Keeper and East Coast continue our Women in the Rangers series with a long form discussion of getting involved, Drive By Shooting Ranges, and finding a group to roll with as well as lots of other stories in between.
Here at The Department of Institutional Memory, there are a lot of changes a foot and we hope to keep bringing you original content about just how we got to this point in the Ranger world. You may notice a new site design, and there is more of that coming including your chance to participate in the DIM world, so stay tuned.
So sit back, prepare for a nice smooth listen, and let us know what you think.
Thank you East Coast for all that makes up you.

Part 2 of a 2 part episode featuring Keeper interviewing Kathasaurus, an old school Ranger who was the guiding force behind the Women of Khaki and women's participation in the Rangers in general.
This is a not safe for work episode as it's language is as spicy as Mexican Texan food. Kathasaurus does not mince words and the stories are as fun as the language.
