Most of us are pussies now’days. 

We spend our lives sitting in front of screens, tapping on keys that send messages to other screens, which in some round-about way leads to another person giving us money. We then use that money to purchase food and shelter, and whatever remains is stored away for the future purchase of food and shelter and/or spent on luxury goods and services. 

That is our modern world. 

Now imagine if, for some reason, all of that went away. Technology disappeared, and we were left with just our own two hands to procure that same food and shelter. 

How long would you survive? A month? A week? 

Pussies, all of us!

Well, maybe not the Salty Crew. By the looks of their most recent cinematic output, their team of surfers, fishermen, and surfer-fisherman could sustain themselves in just about any Earthly climate, which considering the current state of the planet, is an invaluable resource.  

In short time, the likes of Damien Hobgood, Lucas Dirske, Levi Slawson, and crew will be the conductors of this runaway train. 

And frankly, we’re fine with that.
