attending this wedding means a nearly
four week trip on foot into Northern
California so today Mick will tie up
loose ends and prepare to say goodbye I
got to get a lot of gear ready and start
making my way
over the last three decades nick has
lived right here in the HOH and he
rarely ventures far from the forest my
home is in the wild and off the grid but
going on a journey always a great
adventure though Mick prefers his unique
lifestyle in the woods family and
friends have always been the most
important thing and they’re the one
reason he’ll leave it all behind
family’s so important if anybody in the
clan or a family needs me I’ll do the
best I can to help out today will be
mixed last day in the whole four months
to come something there and before he
leaves he’s got a lot to do yeah I’m
going to a stash I ain’t been to in a
long time and if you don’t ever go back
to him means you didn’t need him oh man
this is all filled in ah got a shovel on
nope god yeah let me see my pulls up at
this – was created with Mick first left
civilization behind and began shedding
belongings from the modern world oh sure
I used to wear shirts like that hard to
believe I even live that way it’s me so
long as he unearths its contents most
seemed to be from another lifetime my
old motorcycle jacket yeah yeah I had a
Harley at one time oh look at this yeah
it’s back in the days when I used to
toothbrush I was pretty hygienic back in
those days
then I discovered pine cones most of the
gear he’s digging up won’t do any good
on the journey ahead oh yeah this stuff
is buried but there is one thing here
he’ll need as he ventures into
California here it is
this is what I’m after
the most important thing you need
walking around modern civilization
papers walk around a city barefoot I
guarantee you you got to be able to
identify yourselves

little footprint I always thought that
was some kind of omen destiny
