[0:00]so it's 4:00 in the morning here I'm

[0:02]just waking up bear with me there's

[0:05]something important I want to talk about

[0:07]this

[0:08]morning I'm going to leave here around

[0:11]6:00 in the morning take me about an

[0:14]hour to drive into Lake

[0:15]VI um which the sun should be coming up

[0:18]right around then I'll get fuel and then

[0:20]I'll head back on the road for another 3

[0:22]hours over to

[0:23]Medford and I'm going to look for a

[0:26]campground there to stay up for a couple

[0:27]of days and I'll talk more about that

[0:29]later

[0:33]but what I want to talk about this

[0:34]morning is what I see happening in our

[0:36]country the United States and around the

[0:39]world but I can really only speak to my

[0:42]experience

[0:44]here

[0:46]so I'm 47 years old I've seen quite a

[0:50]lot in my life I grew up in a time

[0:54]when people are very hateful towards gay

[0:57]people and I experienced a lot of

[1:00]homophobia including internalized

[1:03]homophobia because of

[1:05]it and it's all based on superficial

[1:08]nonsense people's hatred towards people

[1:10]like me total nonsense religious

[1:13] or just ignorance you know just

[1:16]just dumb

[1:17] but when you're young you don't

[1:20]know that and I guess even as you get

[1:22]older you don't if

[1:25]you're fragmented because we're going to

[1:29]talk about them

[1:31]but that's how I grew up I grew up

[1:33]seeing how so many people seem to have a

[1:36]problem with me just because of

[1:39]something innate an innate

[1:40]characteristic of mine think my solar

[1:43]wants it's the batteries are low that's

[1:45]surprising they were at 0% I had just

[1:47]looked at them could have sworn it's at

[1:51]something like 10% or something they

[1:53]were low but they wen't at

[1:55]zero okay well that's all right we're

[1:58]going to charge them up at a campground

[2:00]so anyway I grew up seeing how hateful

[2:05]people are experiencing that

[2:10]deeply so I already had a unique window

[2:13]into Humanity that a lot of people don't

[2:16]have they don't

[2:21]understand you know I went about my life

[2:24]etc

[2:25]etc that's just this is important

[2:27]context

[2:30]so the next thing I want to talk about

[2:32]is when Obama became president when he

[2:34]was voted when we voted for him election

[2:38]night I cried because I thought we had

[2:40]reached a new stage in our country where

[2:43]maybe we were finally coming

[2:45]together but that's not what happened is

[2:48]it they saw the rise of the Tea

[2:51]Party

[2:53]um you know overt racism and just more

[2:58]hatred more ignor ignorance more

[3:02]intolerance but you know I'm not letting

[3:04]the other side off the hook here because

[3:06]Obama didn't do a lot for us I was

[3:09]really disappointed in his presidency

[3:12]this

[3:13]man this man offered hope but did not

[3:18]did not provide

[3:20]it people back then would say things

[3:23]like well you know there was a divided

[3:25]house or something and that's why he

[3:29]couldn't get anything done that's not

[3:31]true those first two years the Democrats

[3:34]were in power they had a super majority

[3:36]they could have done whatever they

[3:38]wanted to and they didn't you don't

[3:41]understand that this two-party system

[3:43]that we have is

[3:45]destructive two sides of the same coin

[3:48]the most fragmented thing we've had in a

[3:50]long

[3:51]time and you know I'm not lighting you

[3:55]off the hook because you're just making

[3:57]excuses this does not work

[4:02]but the hatred and the

[4:04]intolerance that's obviously

[4:10]worse and then my dumb country

[4:14]decided to vote Trump into

[4:17]Power I mean when that happened

[4:23]I I guess I wasn't really all that

[4:26]surprised because I know how people are

[4:32]and now they're doing it

[4:36]again voting for a narcissist who's dumb

[4:39]who's just an ignorant

[4:41] but that's who you're

[4:43]voting for and that's who you

[4:46]support and it makes no

[4:49]sense it's like our country has given up

[4:55]on the special status we have in this

[4:57]world

[5:00]we are the heartbeat of this world and

[5:03]we are doing what Rome did when they

[5:06]made Julius Caesar

[5:11]emperor societal collapse is inevitable

[5:14]at this point because people are so

[5:18]fragmented and

[5:20]incapable of being

[5:24]rational and looking at the systemic

[5:27]issues we have that it's just it's

[5:29]unavoidable able at this

[5:35]point a third of my country is going to

[5:38]vote for a

[5:40]bigot a third of my

[5:45]country hates the bigots and another

[5:49]third of my country is just going to sit

[5:50]back and let those other twoth

[5:53]thirds battle it out because that's what

[5:56]we do in this country

[6:01]things keep getting

[6:03]worse and we just let

[6:07]them so I decided

[6:10]to position myself in such a way that I

[6:13]can survive what you people are doing to

[6:16]this

[6:21]world and it's

[6:23]been The Greatest Adventure of my

[6:27]life I'm not looking forward to the the

[6:29]time that our systems start

[6:31]disintegrating because I'm going to have

[6:33]to watch that I'm going to have to watch

[6:35]you

[6:36]suffer and that's going to affect me

[6:38]deeply even though a third of you hate

[6:41]me for an innate characteristic I can't

[6:44]change a third of you looks

[6:50]at looks at me and a a fragmented

[6:55]light because my being gay isn't

[6:58]actually a big deal it's the

[7:01]smallest part of

[7:02]me and another third is just

[7:05]tuned

[7:10]out I have been trying to wake you

[7:12]people up for seven months but you're

[7:15]never going to wake up you're just going

[7:18]to keep the self-destructive pattern

[7:20]going on both sides

[7:31]until we're just a memory just like Rome

[7:35]is so it's too dark to turn this camera

[7:38]around I'm just going to show you my

[7:39]view it is probably like 6:30 in the

[7:42]morning right

[7:43]now and on the road for a

[7:46]while got 25 miles to go to get to my

[7:49]fuel stop and then many hours to get to

[7:53]the campground I'm going to try to stay

[7:54]at should get there around 11:00 in the

[7:56]morning

[8:01]oh there was something I wanted to talk

[8:02]about give me a minute here all

[8:06]right so basically I'll just give you an

[8:08]overview of my plan I'm going to be in

[8:11]Medford I think I think Medford

[8:15]and um there's a couple of different

[8:17]campgrounds there I don't know which one

[8:18]I'm staying at yet but I'm probably

[8:20]going to stay there a couple days my

[8:22]inverter is being delivered to that town

[8:24]so whenever that gets there I can pick

[8:26]it up and I'll only be a couple hours

[8:28]from the coast

[8:32]so I'm very excited for that we should

[8:34]be seeing Forest

[8:36]today uh we're getting out of the desert

[8:38]environment and heading towards the

[8:41]forests so that will be

[8:44]fun I've been thinking I might take

[8:47]everything out of my shower that I've

[8:48]been using as a storage space because I

[8:50]do have more storage now with the SL

[8:52]being in all the time and I can actually

[8:54]start using that

[8:55]shower probably a better option than

[8:58]what I've been talk in last week and a

[9:01]half so I'm going to give that a try I

[9:04]think I'll need to fill my water tank

[9:07]first so I still need to get to a

[9:09]campground I just need a place to kind

[9:12]of set down roots for a short while uh I

[9:15]need to do some insulating in here I'll

[9:18]see if there's anything I can do about

[9:20]the

[9:21]slide uh about getting that pushed in

[9:24]and if I can I'm just going to tape it

[9:25]up

[9:27]so really nothing else I can

[9:32]do so I didn't get to see a lot

[9:35]of uh whatever I was traveling through

[9:37]because it was so

[9:40]dark um it actually looks lighter on my

[9:42]camera than it really is so that's kind

[9:44]of

[9:47]interesting still real early the sun

[9:49]hasn't come up

[9:51]yet we're 5500 ft up and we're starting

[9:54]to see some trees we just passed what

[9:57]probably pine trees

[10:00]so not just these bushes here but

[10:02]definitely entering the

[10:17]forest it's 26° here this has been going

[22:27]the kind of for course I

[22:33]like I changed

[22:37]again s I'm going to explore this place

[22:54]somay Mountain de stor

[23:00]ancient those are some massive solar

[23:11]panels check that out they turn this

[23:13]mountain into a solder

[23:16]Farm very

[23:21]cool we still got 90 mil to

[23:26]go we're in cloth fall

[23:30]where I met an

[23:32] so these are on Lane

[23:35]roads well you know there's only one

[23:37]lane going one way and I'm going to go

[23:41]the pace that feels natural to me that

[23:43]feels safe and then so we're going down

[23:46]this road quite a long ways there's

[23:48]people behind me that's normal you're

[23:50]driving an RV you could go around me we

[23:54]finally get to a stop and I'm turning

[23:56]left the guy who was behind me was going

[23:59]right and he just honed his horn for

[24:00]like 20 seconds just a total

[24:05] it's really irritated me like

[24:09]I'm still kind of processing it's like

[24:11]why do you have to be like that that is

[24:13]just such a

[24:16]fragmented

[24:19]like I'm still processing it

[24:23]because that kind of mentality is very

[24:26]problematic

[24:29]generally

[24:31]is first Lake I've

[24:44]seen we're on top of Doak

[24:47]Mountain there was a sign it said

[24:49]volcanic

[24:52]Legacy I don't

[24:54]really I don't know it's pretty

[25:00]I know volcanoes make lots of

[25:13]resources that's

[25:16]pretty looks

[25:19]like well I was going to say maybe the

[25:22]lake is drying up but no that's this

[25:24]Farmland down

[25:26]there very nice

[25:30]entering the forest again we've been in

[25:33]and out of this

[25:34]forest for

[25:37]hours we got Crater Lake National park

[25:40]right here we're going to have to come

[25:42]back to

[25:51]this very curious about Lake up the

[25:55]woods going to have to look that up

[26:00]Junction

[26:09]here a lot of snow parks around

[26:12]here Resort open every day it

[26:16]says and

[26:19]we're I guess we're 3 hours away from

[26:22]where I'll be most of the time I don't

[26:24]know I got to I got to think about it I

[26:27]guess

[26:28]I might not need to be on the coast all

[26:30]the

[26:31]time I want to go slowly so I'm going to

[26:34]think it all through I'd love to explore

[26:37]this place lots of Trail

[26:40]heads so it's 12:30 right

[26:43]now I am at Valley of the Rogue coolest

[26:48]name ever state park right off I9 right

[26:52]there just in this little parking lot

[26:56]here cuz all the the sites were taken

[26:59]except for one which they gave to me for

[27:02]one night um but I can't can't take it

[27:06]until 4: so I'm going to go take a

[27:10]shower and head into somewhere to get

[27:13]some supplies from like a little store

[27:15]or something

[27:16]and and

[27:18]then at the full hookup site so I'm

[27:21]going to maybe try to clean my tanks

[27:24]today I mean I did it recently but I can

[27:27]hear Bailey crying in there

[27:33]um I don't know I'm not sure what I'm

[27:35]going to do honestly I'm only here for

[27:37]one night so tomorrow I'll make plans

[27:39]and I'll just be on the coast sometime

[27:41]tomorrow and figure out the rest from

[27:44]there so I'm just here for the night oh

[27:46]that's pretty maybe I could find a trail

[27:48]to hike or

[27:50]something this is

[27:54]nice it's very stressful Drive

[27:58]people are just so impatient

[28:01]and wonder if I should

[28:04]leave you can't get out that window

[28:08]cany oh I can't trust this cat can I I

[28:12]probably need to yeah I better anyways

[28:15]people were not very friendly on the

[28:18]road so it was a very stressful

[28:21]drive but right in here and things will

[28:25]get better now

Summary

rswfire wakes at 4 AM and begins a journey from his overnight roadside position to Medford, Oregon. He drives through Lake View for fuel, then continues through forest and prairie terrain toward Valley of the Rogue State Park. During the drive, he reflects on societal collapse, describing his experience as a gay man facing hatred, his disappointment with Obama's presidency, and his view that Trump represents inevitable societal decline comparable to Rome's fall. He explains his seven-month effort to "wake people up" and his decision to position himself for survival during system collapse.

The transmission documents his travel route through Oregon's varied terrain - desert to forest to prairie - noting elevation changes, temperature drops to 26°F, and encounters with other drivers including one who honked aggressively. He travels with his cat Bailey, discussing practical concerns like low solar batteries, upcoming inverter delivery, and plans to use his RV shower. He arrives at Valley of the Rogue State Park around 12:30 PM, securing a site for one night before continuing to the coast the following day.
