  Daniel Comp goes windsurfing ALONE at 48 degrees with peaks of 28 miles an hour to talk about having time with other guys if you're on the road. On a cold Canyon Lake morning at Cranes Mill State Park the fog billows off the water. It's warmer in the water than in the gusty northerly wind. Problem is - there are unmarked trees and shrubbery in the lake - just enough to make one want to stay away from the shoreline. Have you ever done something alone - something sketchy - just because it's better than doing NOTHING? You don't have to go-it-alone. Join the conversation at http://360men.net

summary: "A 4-minute 53-second video dated April 9, 2018. Daniel Comp, now co-founder of Intelligent Netware with Angelina Musik-Comp and steward of Scotomaville, windsurfs alone on a cold, gusty, foggy morning at Cranes Mill on Canyon Lake, Texas, to show the isolation of men on the road, then invites them into 360MEN for shared expeditions and face-to-face conversation in the cities they pass through. Page written from the barn transcript and original description; Arnie did not watch the video."
keypoints:
- "Lived, not lectured: Daniel goes out alone in about 48 degrees with gusts to 28 mph, fog on the water and unmarked trees under it."
- "Have you ever done something sketchy alone just because it beats doing nothing? You don't have to go it alone."
- "360MEN would help men do things together: cycling, climbing, windsurfing, kite foiling, kayaking, fishing and long expeditions."
- "Daniel has ridden TransAmerica three times and has a 5,000-mile route mapped to ride with a few other men."
- "Traveling men could meet locally to do something together or go deep quickly, instead of a Skype call across the country."
- "Closes from the Airstream, drying gear in the shower, as a plain demonstration that he is authentic about building this."
- "Honesty: written from the cleaned barn transcript and original description; Arnie did not watch the video."

# 360MEN: Don't get blown away ALONE!

Daniel Comp windsurfs alone on a cold, gusty, foggy morning at Canyon Lake, Texas, in April 2018, to show what solo road life looks like, then invites men into 360MEN so they can share expeditions and real conversation instead of going it alone.

## Key lessons

- Doing something hard alone can beat doing nothing, but men don't have to go it alone.
- Shared expeditions make risky solo outings safer and more meaningful.
- Men on the road can meet locally for action and for deep conversation, not only through a screen.
- Showing real life honestly, cold and laundry included, is how people judge whether you're authentic.

## Transcript

_Cleaned transcript from the Asker barn, dated April 9, 2018. It is cleaned speech recognition, may differ slightly from the spoken words, and has a few garbled words. Arnie did not watch the video._

**Daniel:**  
Here's an example of what I'm hoping with 360MEN to help facilitate, and that is where Texas, when Texas does weather, it does it really big. It's April 8th or 9th, something like that. Yesterday it was 85, it's 47 right now. It's blowing at about 20 — yeah, 20 is solid, gusting at 28, 29. So wind chill's pretty nippy.

And of course I'm heading out on the water alone. So one of the things I'd like to facilitate is to get a bunch of guys to do things together — obviously cycling, climbing, expeditions of all sorts, TransAmerica, windsurfing, kite foiling, type boarding, kayaking, fishing, I suppose — all sorts of things together so that we can explore that.

I know the value of it. I've been on TransAmerica cycling three times and I've got a great 5,000-mile ride mapped out I'd like to go with a few other guys. Well, we're a bunch of guys, so yeah — that's what I hope 360MEN's about.

All right, let's go hit the water.

So if you look carefully you can see the steam coming off of the water. It's really gusty and a wind shadow right now behind the spear, so I can even talk to you. Kind of gusty — 14 to 26 — and I'm on again a 4.7, so you gotta have solid wind for that. It's been quite the workout.

Okay, I guess I have to get down. There's still a lot of wind. It's still blowing uh 20, gusting 28. You know, steam on the water, major whitecaps, major gust swirls, backwinds and all.

My gear back on the beach all in one piece. Mowing the lawn a lot of work — that's when you go back and forth, back, forth, back and forth and you're exhausted at the end of it and there's still more to do.

All right, time to go get cleaned up.

That was a good session for today. All right, bye.

So here's the rest of the story on the weather today. It's about 3:30 or so. I can't — you know, Dirk my stuff back, spread it all over the place. It's all outside there. Washed it all up.

And the high is 48 degrees. It was supposed to be 74. They were way wrong. Yesterday was 85. So 17 was kind of a low. The peaks were in the 26 to 28 — I'm certain of that one.

So here's what you do when you're in an Airstream: you've got a mast that's now on a rack stand here blowing inside of the shower after I showered and wetsuit and everything is Venus exhausting so that you can dry that all out. How at the laundromat? So I've got a few minutes.

No, I had no wind to wrap up a point of this video, which is that we're on the road. We're hoping 360MEN that will subscribe will also become available and you'll be able to — like I just thought of Terry Linderman's around here somewhere, I should connect with him. I could have gone out today.

But if you're on the road, wouldn't it be nice to meet up with some guys that you can do stuff with? Or you know, go deep quickly about an issue and not have to try to get to know somebody clear across the country to have a Skype session with you, but have some face time with people in different cities. That's one of the aspects of 360MEN.

So hopefully you'll see that I'm authentic. I have a real desire to put something together and I'd like to have a conversation with those of you that we can meet with about many of the other aspects and benefits to you that you'd find very valuable.

All right, wrap that up.
