I prefer the human scale to the corporate, vagabonding to tourism, the quirky and lively to the toned down and flattened out. I used to call my world of mountain folk, surf bums and nomads a dirtbag culture: of temp jobs and long summers; of foraged meals and tribal travel that followed the seasons, from summer tours across the United States to Vermont's winter ski-breaks to spring baseball games. And if I now work more than I adventure, and care more for my friends and family than for bumming about, I still sound my appeal to the dirtbag within, the need for the wild dirtbag spirit to survive in our e’d and i'd-out culture.
