MISSION STATEMENT The proliferation of useful knowledge and the common sense to put that knowledge into action, form the core of our organization. Laziness prevails where people forget that action is the only way. To break down the barriers of complacency and monotonous routine, to inspire by example, is to hand off lasting values to our next generation. Expressions of creative genius and acts of everyday compassion make a difference in the global perception of hope. Care for the environment, hard work and respect for others are to often slighted in favor of personal gain and hollow wealth. Story-telling with documentary film as our medium, we seek to vitalize an international sense of pride. With building projects that encourage a sense of community and tangible creations that can be shared by all, we hope to reclaim a spirit of adventure that has been watered down by modern society. Lost Trades endeavors to restore hope in humanity, inspire the youth and expound the potential of creativity through tangible and culturally tactile building projects. Our goal is to create meaningful and educationally charged projects and films that strike at the core of the human spirit. The axiom of positive change and the genuine objective of this organization is to create greatness in unlikely places and chase down opportunities obscured by hard work. “But surely to render thus the very spirit of an incomparable artist, one must have more than a spark of the sacred fire.” –Joseph Conrad BASE CAMP MOUNTAINS GREENHORN BOAT SHOP EXPEDITIONS T-SHIRTS THAT DONT SUCK FILM SAILING CONTACT LONG VERSION SHORT VERSION LOST TRADES=EFFORT SITE LEGEND EXPEDITIONS BASE CAMP T-SHIRTS THAT DONT SUCK GREENHORN BOAT SHOP CONTACT FILM PHOTOGRAPHY MOTIVATION MOUNTAINS SURFING THEORY SAILING FOUNDING BROTHERS MISSION STATEMENT WANTED POSTER COMPENDIUM PROJECTS AXIOM APPRENTICESHIP
