Good on you for seeking help. You may also want to ask in r/veterans as they have a lot of folks that have been through the process, maybe even in Southern NH.

I grew up in Vermont, and in the extensive woods around our house, there was clear evidence of old logging campsites (old paths, clearings etc.) Being kids who loved Indiana Jones we started digging at the campsites and found old Milk of Magnesia bottle and a number of brown cod liver oil bottles. My mother still has them.

The Island Pond Raid of 1984, the fallout, and the precedents set as a result.

Thinking along the lines of Island Pond, Vermont's history with the railroad (Grand Trunk, Rutland Railroad, etc.) You could look at the New Amtrac line and even tell the tale of Phineas Gage.

Beyond Ben & Jerry's, a look at Vermont businesses that are known world wide. For example, Concept 2 is the gold standard for rowing machines (ergs) used all around the world by collegiate and Olympic teams for training.

Not really questions more like general ideas, but I can frame out questions if needed.

Indeed. I've lived in many open carry states and the folks packing in the open may be a deterrent, but if rounds are going down range I would rather have the element of surprise in my toolkit. That and it makes it harder for someone to make up a story of you threatening them with a gun just because they know you have one.
