I knew him as Michael Clift, so when I first heard that he died, I thought he was another one of the radical, bike touring homeless vets who hung out with Pirate Mike and did Occupy stuff who I didn't know by name. Here is his obituary that we printed in the last issue of Slingshot...

What is the Dirty Scouts Jamboree? The Dirty Scouts Jamboree is the tongue-and-cheek name we've given to the annual meetup of misfit travelers from the online community Squat the Planet. This is going to be a rare opportunity to hang out and get to know a lot of the people from the StP website...

I'm not sure how he died; but his crew from North Carolina posted about his death online. Even though he passed in late 2015 I still don't feel like asking his friends, who I don't know, the details. He was a traveler and a graffiti writer. Hit me up if you knew him. Pour one out if you didn't...
