Climbing Stickers on Truck

On the rice bucket

I like to put just official national park and national monument stickers on the drivers side of my vehicle. I feel it really helps with  LEO interactions. Zero politics, Zero cool gear , dead or whatever just the old people tourist stickers. 

I have a wooden buildout in my sienna, and I put the stickers on the wooden slide base, so some day when I sell the car I can take the slide out and hang it in my house as a lil memory thing. Keeps my car looking civi and my stickers safe haha

Do you have alot of interactions with LEO? You really think a sticker helps?

Take a picture of yourself sticking it to your van, turn the picture into an NFT, sell the NFT and buy a new van.  Repeat until you’re a billionaire. 

I don't have a lot of Leo encounters but when you are on the road for a whole summer they happen. Especially when you cross borders.  Inevitably the conversations turns to wow, you guys have been a ton of places.   One of the more memorable was @ greasy grass national monument. There was a water filling station on the sidewalk . It was about 10 min before they closed. Parking lot was empty. We pulled up in front of the water filling station and parked in along side the sidewalk instead of pointing in to the sidewalk which was the direction that the parking lines were oriented.  Again the lot was empty, staff was obviously in the process of closing up. We were filling our water jugs when the 19yr old punk in the white Exploder rolls up on us, turns on the rollers and jumps out with his hand on his gun. "is there a reason you parked across the lines?" Me " im sorry, looked like you guys are closeing up and we just wanted to fill our water bottles in a hurry so you guys could close up and go home" Punk was still in his superhero stance giving us the evil eye and he spots the stickers. Wow! you guys have been everywhere! We ended up talking to him for about 15 min  about the different parks and what they were like.  We are old white tourists. nothing to see here.  If the rig was covered in cool merch stickers, dead stickers, 420 road signs etc. it would be an entirely different conversation. 

 What is an NFT?

Take the intersection of art and Bitcoin but make it worse. 

Nothing says "look at me, I'm a climber" quite like stickers on your car.

Or a liberal cat lady

I put them on the front cover of my office laptop. They are there to remind my coworkers that i'd rather be climbing than stuck in this boring 3 hour meeting...

Nick, Time magazine had a good article summarizing non-fungible tokens in the art world a couple weeks ago.
