Phillmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico and hiked 75 miles in ten days. On that trip my crew and I had plenty of time do think about things and while we were hiking with 50-60 pounds on our back we realized that life is like a backpacking trip.

Philosophical ethics are an attempt to define moral action. Theories try to answer questions such as ‘what is a moral action?’ and ‘how should men act?’ In the case of classical theories the main question is ‘What is the good life?
