ABOUT ME

Former Scout Master still active in Boy Scouts. I teach wilderness survival and related skills. I love camping with my hammock.

Non-smoker, don't do drugs, rarely drink alcohol, I love to cook and eat wild plants.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to travel more. This is one way to make it possible both for myself and others.

Interests

Going to and from work as a computer help desk administrator, I stop and visit with homeless people. I carry food, water, blankets, tarps, personal care products and Bibles to give away.
