Nature of Operations | Nature of Operations Gulf & Orient Steamship Company, LTD. (Gulf or the Company) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 9, 1996. Gulf originally intended to engage in the business of marine transportation. On December 31, 2018, Gulf entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with High Sierra Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (High Sierra), and all of its shareholders. The shareholders of High Sierra were issued shares of the Gulfs common stock on a one for one share basis in exchange for their shares of High Sierras common stock. High Sierra became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gulf in the business combination. The Share Exchange was treated as a reverse merger and recapitalization, and as a result, the consolidated financial statements are presented under successor entity reporting, with an inception date of August 6, 2018. Subsequently Gulfs name was changed to High Sierra Technologies, Inc. High Sierra Technologies, Inc., the wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 6, 2018. It was formed with the intention that it would become the assignee, owner and licensor of certain Intellectual Property that was, prior to assignment, the property of Vincent C. Lombardi, Ph.D. (the Intellectual Property) who is an officer, director and co-founder of the subsidiary. The subsidiary was further formed with the goal that it would continue to develop and expand its intellectual property portfolio with an emphasis on the recreational cannabis industry as well as the industrial hemp industry. Through its subsidiary, the Company is a start-up that develops patents and other products used in the processing of cannabis, including industrial hemp, and will license these technologies to companies in the industry. The Company will likely incur research and development expenses in the future and intends to develop a policy regarding the same. The Company was growing industrial hemp on a 200-acre property it leased in McDermitt, Nevada and incurred expenses in relation to this project and the failure of the crop during 2019 (see Note 3). |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company consolidates its subsidiaries in accordance with ASC 810, and specifically ASC 810-10-15-8 which states, "[t]he usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, or over 50% of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation." All inter-company transactions have been eliminated during consolidation. |
Concentration of Risk | Concentration of Risk The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with established financial institutions. At times, such cash and investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Based Compensation ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company's stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include but are not limited to the Company's expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period. Upon the adoption of ASU 2018-07, the Company measures the fair value of equity instruments for non-employee payment awards on the grant date. |
Investment in Growing Crops | Investment in Growing Crops The Companys Investment in Growing Crops represented the total cost of the crop inputs in the ground. These were recorded at cost and were to be expensed to cost of goods sold once the crops were harvested and sold. The crop harvest failed and the Company incurred a $246,914 loss from the preparation, planting and harvesting of the crop during 2019. |
Long-lived Assets | Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is five years. Where an impairment of a propertys value is determined to be other than temporary, impairment for the estimated potential loss is recorded to adjust the property to its net realizable value. When items of building or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations. The Company does not have any long-lived tangible assets, which are considered impaired as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company applies the provisions of ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment, |

Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |
Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure | Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10-30, Income Taxes The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25. |
Income (loss) Per Common Share | Loss Per Share Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period, unless their effect is anti-dilutive due to continuing losses. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a total of 83,333 (50,000 from outstanding warrants and 33,333 from convertible notes payable) potentially dilutive shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2019, there were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding. |
