Tad (or Tadd) Crass sure must have been pretty popular back in the day. And like Mark, Cliff seems to think that having one career makes you unable to have a second one. Does being a former combat vet make you ineligible to be a fishing guide? Clearly, the members of the De-Bait Team don’t think so.

Well, keeping up with the times, “AI” is the bogeyman to this version of Mark Trail that the Internet was to the prior version of Mark Trail. (from February 2020)

Anyway, if Mark wants to crush Tadd’s AI-based survival guide, he might consider publishing a better one! That would give him a better chance to counter Crass’s book than starting up another boutique survival camp that only a few people can afford to attend. But where would be the story in that?

Art Dept: I won’t spend time on it, but you scan the posts from October 2021 to see what Mark, Cliff, and Duke originally looked like and draw your own conclusions.
