Redacted Island
Redacted Island is all about getting tf out. Exitmaxxing. Escaping. I'm talking to people who break away from society—explorers, cult members, roleplayers, war reporters, libertarians, land artists, gamers, drug takers, and many more. For over a decade, I've been asking people around the world about their general sentiment toward the future. The thing I keep hearing is that most of them dream, in one way or another, about leaving. So I'm going to talk to the people who leave, whether it's for 30 seconds of a whippet hit or 30 years of living off-grid. Have you ever thought about leaving? Let's go.
