There is so much on the horizon
I Have accomplished one of my dreams to be a canyon guide. I am training a team of technicians in the Los Padres National Forest doing Tamarisk removal in hard to access places.

Marshell Thompson has applied to the forest service to get permits to rig the longest Highline in the USA 5480+ft.
Nao Mioshi has plans for a highline on the largest sailing ship in Japan, a hot air balloon rodeo line, and the largest slackline in Asia
Projects I have been involved with
An amazing trip to the middle east with 9 highliners, and 9 climbers, We rigged the largest highlines in Jordan at 200m and 250m. Because of a lost bag on the way to jordan we did not have enough materials to complete our goal of a 500m line. So we will need to go back, this time with a better understanding of the environment, and the challenges we will face. We are seeking sponsors to rig a 1.5km line over the village. from the tops of 500m cliffs in the future.
Great sucess. nearly 50 people got involved. We cooked and ate with each other. Made 18 gallons of hard seltzer. We facilitated a 200ft Birthday party zipline for the kids. Set the record for longest slackline in Hawaii 377m. Some locals got excited and took 12 people on a boat to a secret location to camp for 2 days. Rented a gym and rigged slacklines over waterfalls at a nearby park. Rigged a 500m slackline and made really good friends with some genuinely good law enforcement.
Marshell Thompson has been planning some amazing projects in the last few years. this Is the third I have had the pleasure to help with. A team of Jugglers gathered in the mountains of Silverton, Colorado and rigged a 1100m highline on an anchor system I have been experimenting with for 2 years. I walked 1000m before I fell. I got back up and walked the rest of the way.

A month long gathering in the pandemic where we forbade social distancing and nobody got sick.
A month long gathering immediately before the pandemic where we made a wood fire hot tub in a short bed pickup and put 20 people in it.

My second year. I rigged spacenets and light up midlines. we showed up with a bunch of amizing friends from Hawaii and cooked chantrelle tacos.
I apologize if this is out of date. I'm probably doing a project.
