TOO FAR GONE
John Martin from Vice wrote me and said that if put up his most recent video project he would take me on the next wild Vice travel trip. I was thinking ‘Shit, how do I get out of posting some video that’s probably him lip syncing, dreaming he’s Mick Jagger again?’ Then I clicked the link and found this gem – John and crew traveled 4 days just to reach the far stretches of Patagonia where they interviewed a man who has lived off the grid on his land for almost 50 years in imposed self isolation – one of the last great South American Cowboys. Have a look (sorry about the ad opener, folks). John, I’m ready with my miles number. Say when.
This was amazing! I worked for 8 years for the outdoor retail company PATAGONIA and twice a year the would take a handful of people down to the land for preservation work. I never took advantage of putting my name on the list to go but felt this short captured it perfect.
John Martin is a man full of surprises. NB* he enjoys having his hair braided.
