About This Video
Why Van always wears boots: you never know when you have to kick in a door. Swiss Army Surplus, probably from the 70s or 80s, still findable. He's had them over 17 years. One boot has the word Minerva stamped into it. Minerva, goddess of wisdom and the crafts. Red laces because Max Fischer wore red laces in his Rod Labers. Resoled and repaired many, many times. 45 seconds on preparedness that's simultaneously practical and philosophical. Topanga Canyon, where fire and isolation are real variables, makes this less theoretical than it sounds.
