Great to see you here again Steve. Your story is heartbreaking and motivating all at the same time.

A great thread and very inspirational.
I’m going to do a Re read, and can recommend it to those that haven’t seen it before. |

Six years later, I am reading this incredible thread for the first time. Steve, thank you so much for sharing photos of your collection and your adventures. They're inspirational and awe-inspiring. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you're keeping well. Cheers

Thanks for the bump…how would we not know this existed without a recent comment?
2 days of reading this stuck in hotel quarantine went by in the blink of an eye. I have to agree it is probably one of the most vivid threads I’ve ever read. (Only been a member on a few other forums). It’s like at the end of a movie in a sold out theatre when credits begin to roll without music and the entire audience remains seated and silent for a solid 10-15 seconds but feels like 5 minutes due to the emotional coaster it took everyone on. Not saying it was warranted in the LEAST, but comments by the trolls (who deservedly so got struck down lol) added to the content because you got to witness many genuine members’ responses to defend OP…and the OP himself with the epic PROOF. Having the dark provided an astoundingly bright light from OP from my perspective. I had planned to read a different book for these 2 days and this made for an even better alternative. To OP (Steve)…to someone who has seen, heard, tasted, and felt most, if not all, the spectrums of life, it is truly inspiring to try to live as vibrantly and fearlessly in my own little world. Even if the 56 page thread only encompasses a tiny fraction of your experiences, it is definitely impactful enough to anyone who to takes the time to really digest it to make a positive change in their step. Will continue reading this thread as you update! Off to buy your book! How do we get a signed copy?? |

There is in this thread a very profound analysis of human nature exposed for the whole world to see and learn from.

I recently saw an EXP II Polar come up for sale, and it reminded me of this thread. As a result, I re-read it again...at least the meat of it. I'll have to catch up on the updates since I last read through it.
No matter how many times I go through it, the thread remains just as interesting and inspiring.... |
