You seem like a pretty decent guy that knows how to share the world and wants to be free doing it, I feel the same way you do. Safe travels brother.

Paul, in MY opinion you never said anything offensive or intrusive. Keep doing you. You’re a good guy who believes in most the same fundamentals as myself and possibly most people out there. Can you be abrasive? Absolutely, we all can abrasive. I’ve been told I’m multi expletives. People can come across abrasive especially when it comes to something you are passionate about. Keep being you! Keep fighting for what you believe in even if it’s not what I believe. Like you said exercise your rights. PS Your grey beard is coming in nice. Mad love for ya!

I’ve been going for 6 years. Never had a single complaint. Them switching the dates was what got me. The new days are 15-20th we always go 20-28 and goes on for 2 weeks. I dislike the new owners. It’s naturally been in the same exact spot for 6 years. They tried to move the location but us og people were at quartzite. The more they keep switching things the more harm they cause. They need to just not mess with skoolie palooza the un gathering. It’s not a profitable event

I met you at schoolie last year. We talked about freedom vs the man. I agree with you 100% and especially on how dumb this drama w people trying to exert control is. It's dicey enough without the drama. I hope it goes well though! Maybe I will run into you again! ✌️

5:26 we have The Joybus! We were late when we arrived so when we got kicked out we were at the entrance and got out ahead of the swarm😂. Unfortunately my husband had a stroke on NYE and we didn't make it😭. It looks less windy this year.

Never been to the schoolie event, all events become a logistical nightmare once there are a bunch of people involved. Well administered ones are hard to come by, demand for a fun experience always outstrips the supply of competent people to handle the logistics needed to provide it. Being staff at events is work, and work gets handled differently depending on the competency of who's handling it. People get $'s in their eyes and it's all over. It's miraculous we can have something crazy like burning man even happen, that's a real exercise in temporary community. It's like a boondoggle matrix to be the initiator, and the long tail of what needs to be done always ends with the guy at the end of the parade sweeping up like at the end of that cartoon Mr. Peabody and Sherman. Ery'body needs ery'thing for those permits! I like your live & let live ethos.

Hey Paul, and happy new year. This days, you will never find any government world wide that will let their people live in freedom. To them, freedom are a dangerous thing, so they chains you down with a ton of laws and regulations. Also here in my own country, Norway.
