Pirate on the side of the road...

#teamjustus! Thanks to your awesome support, I get to do some seriously cool stuff! We're on a mission to make the world a better place, one awesome video at a time.
And guess what? When you grab a pair of socks, a blanket, or a hat from my website, you're not just getting awesome gear - you're also hooking someone in need up with the same cool stuff!
Hop over to justknate.com and explore all the ways you can make sure I keep bringing you more of this awesomeness. One hug or a handshake at a time!

[@AmyStotts]

I love that you're making longer videos now and that we get to see more of the interactions. You're an amazing man, Knate! I know i say it a lot, but i want to make sure you know how much respect we have for you.

[@lisam2496]

I agree! I love the longer videos!

[@wisewoman7906]

Hey, maybe that guy could turn some of his drawings into note cards to sell...

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Imagine the cool calendar you could’ve made with his artwork, Knate… And sell it to help them snd/or others. ❤❤❤

[@sleeplesseyesart5809]

I totally thought the same thing! Something can be done with that beautiful art! Or all it would take is a musician to use one of those for an album cover or something ❤️ really rad stuff.

[@RobertMiller-tb5rx]

Agreed! I thought the same thing too!! How about making a calendar out of them?! I would gladly purchase to help him!!

[@dontcare3430]

The colors looked very bright, calming . I like the idea of a calendar.

[@sleeplesseyesart5809]

Yes!!! I’m getting ahead of myself here, but what would be REALLY cool is if somehow funds could be generated one day though crowdfunding or some other way, for a calendar with a little mini digital alarmclock attached to it for anyone unhoused or who doesn’t have access to a clock. Just that one thing, a calendar and a clock, could change someone’s life ❤ sending love to all of you people

[@hw5035]

I was wondering about using the artwork on tshirt(s)?

[@jayfaz3335]

Calling this guy Pirate and not asking for his real name probably meant a good deal to him. Thanks Nate

Notice there's still snow on the ground. When people think of Nevada they think of a desert being hot. While that may be the case in the summer that isn't true all year long. I challenge anyone who reads this comment to look in your closet and find any clothing you no longer need. Run it down to your nearest homeless shelter and donate it. (Thrift stores often do help with clothing but it's better to give it to the source.) It costs you nothing and clears up clutter. What may sit in your closet for a year collecting dust could make someone's day and keep them warm.

[@sparklemotion86]

Nevada, Spanish word meaning snowfall....

[@AJplayz297]

Excuses never ends. Young men should be working hard and not to be making stories for free stuff.

[@charles1606]

What's your justification for being a poor excuse?

[@BrandonWestfall]

@@AJplayz297 You really have no idea what you’re talking about. Until you’ve been homeless and have lived through that experience you really don’t have room to talk. Have you ever tried finding work when you don’t have a physical address, phone number, clean clothing, a place to shower, and transportation? I have, it’s hell. It’s easy to sit on the sidelines and say “just get a job.”

[@keemandikotravels]

I hate it when people say that these folks need to get a job. We don't know what people go through. Especially what trauma or mental health issues people are dealing with. Even if they get a minimum wage job, how do they get together enough money to get an apartment??? It's almost impossible. I've been homeless and lived in a truck. If not for family I would be in a tent myself

[@stefaniebenke7513]

Knate, you are amazing!!!! Today, there were a few tears. When u said the only difference between us is that i sleep inside and you sleep outside . You make my heart happy. Keep up the great work. 💖💖

The artwork of the tree seems to be the same tree they're standing in front of, now full of life!

[@tessasinclair6315]

I noticed that, too. Also the most vibrant of the bunch. It would be nice if he's enabled to frame and/or sell it... Somebody further down, suggested that they use it for producing a calendar. That would be great.

[@taraalan1131]

The tree was definitely the one behind them. There’s a talent there.

[@denisemckiver69]

Getting a hug is as much of a gift to many homeless people as the monetary gifts are. It helps to remind them that they are part of humanity and deserving of respect and love by their fellow man. So many people treat them with disdain but that's not right. A hug can even feel scary to some because they're not use to others hugging them and they fear being harmed or they don't know how to process it emotionally. It's great that Knate gives them the option to choose a hug or hand shake.

[@T3n50r]

Yeah, the option to choose is important. Hugs can be too much for a lot, traumatic even, and saying "no" may not be something they want to do after everything he's done for them. So asking for a handshake or a hug shows how much he cares as well and how understanding he is. I love that about him.

[@ekanang7550]

I like that you speak in a casual and normal way to the people, without making a "I will help you" - Drama and speaking down to them.

[@kimburke575]

Would love to catch up with Pirate again as he moves forward. All the best from Australia 🇦🇺

[@judyrogers9313]

No better way to start a day than with NATE ❤. ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU! Gods hands and feet !

[@pamprier4710]

Knate, the thing I appreciate most is that you don't just help them get thru temporarily... you help them move forward. I hate to admit it, but most of us hadn't thought that far ahead, whenever we've seen a homeless person. Thank you for being so perceptive, as well as kind.

As always, this is so awesome! I couldn’t help but chuckle when Knate said he was worried Pirate would not still be at his campsite… the fella just told Knate that he’s so dedicated to staying on site at his campsite that it even prevents him from being able to consider leaving to look for work, etc. 😂 Certainly relevant for all other situations but seems like this Pirate is anchored ⚓️😂 So much love in these videos, can’t wait for more!

[@jacobfoster9185]

The transition he's attempting to articulate are very similar to what I have and other vets go through as well as people who have been incarceration. The struggle is REAL but not always visible. I think that fear also plays a large part of why people don't help and have negative and aggressive feelings for the homeless. I saw this in my fellow soldiers around soldiers who were wounded badly and disabled and when I was a fighter athletes who experienced injury and losses. It's like if you help and interact that it makes it more likely that you will end up like them.Fear leads to anger. I hope that you and those you care for are happy, healthy, and safe this new year.
