Operation: “Free the T3” Complete!

My trip is more than just a quest to capture the positive change created by my father; it also fulfills my promise of the best quality Outdoor Education experience Without having to pay for a flight! I will be in all areas of the country starting in early spring. If you live in the lower 48, I will be near you at some point. Contact me to discuss details!

As a special surprise, this Saturday, October 20th at 4 pm Pacific, I am hosting a FREE pop-up called Nomad Ask-Me-Anything! Also, I want to “Test the System.” to do this to see what some of you and I've been missing and catch up. And tell a tale or two. This is not part of the free ongoing online series that I will start up again soon or part of the three-part class I will teach to those who generously contribute to my campaign. It's a teaser for what things will be like when I travel the backroads this spring, seeking less traveled roads. I did a little bit of research tonight and picked an extraordinary spot. The event will occur this Saturday at 3 pm. Click here to register! For FREE!

I know I've said this a million times, but I cannot express my overwhelming gratitude for all of you. Although I deeply miss my parents, who gave me the most precious gifts, the worldwide family of caretakers they left behind is the greatest blessing. After three years and two months without this connection, the warmth has finally returned, like being wrapped in a blanket after a cold journey. Strangely, the wilds I've been navigating weren't in Nature but in the world of business.

Unfortunately, I can be a bit thick-headed sometimes, and painful lessons are occasionally necessary to fully understand their meaning.

As you are receiving this, I am somewhere between here and there, careful not to overdo it because it will damage me, and I am trying to reconnect with an old mantra: “Life is too short to hurry.”

I will leave a difficult situation thanks to all who believed in my vision. I feel revitalized, even in my bedraggled state. As I approach my 46th birthday on November 3, I'm deeply grateful for the life lessons I've received—much like the three spirits showing Scrooge the error of his ways. These lessons gave me the courage and strength to endure an experience that was both brutal and beautiful, packed with insights that will stay with me for life.

My only sadness is that I can't share this journey with my parents, my beloved Koradog of 18 years, and the most special person I've ever known. Still, I wouldn't change any of it. It's been a transformative process. My biggest regret, however, is the delays it caused for my students. When I decided to strike out on my own, I promised never to work for anyone, but Nature and my students, and I apologize for my extended absence as I packed 15 years of life into a Subaru Crosstrek.

Ain’t she a beaut Clark?

I'm heading south to my uncle Jon Young's house, where he's offering me space to rest and access nutritious food. Though I will resume classes shortly after arriving—hopefully by the weekend—I still need more rest. In the coming months, I plan to complete my new website, wrap up current online classes, set the schedule for the new year, and, most importantly, map out my documentary tour. Along the way, I'll tell my story and interview people whose lives were forever changed by my father, the "mysterious mustache man."

In 26 years of teaching, I've rarely taken vacations. Aside from a sabbatical with my former partner, I've spent that time running classes across 32 states and territories. My upcoming journey will zigzag across the country as I pay homage to a man who has touched millions of lives. Along the way, I'll reconnect with some of the finest artists, musicians, philosophers, and friends who speak my language and hear the voices that others cannot. I look forward to “driveway, surfing" at old friends, houses, laughing the way I used to,

Even though I'm closing one chapter and opening another, challenges remain. Over the past three years, I've parted with $50,000 that was supposed to be recouped in the first year. Photography clients have also scammed me because I trusted them without a contract. This trip is partly a way to restore my faith in humanity, just as traveling the country did the last time I became disillusioned.

Renting a place where I never felt welcome, I'm relieved to be moving on. Starting this GoFundMe was difficult because I never envisioned asking for money. For everyone who has donated, I have a special event planned for three dates at three incredible locations.

As I step into my "Digi-Natural Nomad" role, I aim to share your stories and teach from the most remote places. With my tools, I can teach and livestream from anywhere. Initially, I wouldn't say I liked teaching online, but it has grown on me. I'm taking it further with modern technology, teaching online classes to help bring more people back to Nature. This is my version of "The Racer's Edge."

To my students, I'll contact you by the end of the week with rescheduled dates and a revised class schedule, which includes new additions and pricing. I'm only able to do this because of your help. Starting last weekend, I now offer thank-you gifts for donations and purchases from my Amazon wishlist, which will help make this trip smoother.

Speaking of which, if you're considering Starlink Internet, I can't recommend it enough. Since my sponsor gifted it to me, it's worked flawlessly wherever I've parked. If I refer you, we both get a free month of service. With the monthly cost at $150, any help would be appreciated. You can pause the service, though it's frustrating you can't do it mid-cycle. While my first stop will be extended, I still plan on making shorter trips where it will be needed. It will be incredible not to have to worry about that expense. If you're interested, scan the QR code in the photograph included.

Seriously though, For people in rural areas, this new tech is a money saver, With very simple, easy to understand services, no hidden fees, and you Own the unit! Help me and you get moths of free service!

This technology is a game changer. Once it's fully set up, you can view the webcam on my roof and inside my car. I'll do everything from random broadcasts to episodic programming and private mentoring. This will be handled through my new scheduling page, which I'll share soon. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all. It's 7 AM, and though I should have been asleep hours ago, I'm too excited to rest.

Much love, thanks, and praises,
