I hate to be negative, I do, but Shaun Overton is a fool. He's wasting an enormous amount of money, energy, and time to achieve approximately nothing when he could do so much more if he expended those resources on a non-idiotic project. It's his time and money to waste, but it hurts to see it when he could really do a lot of good with it instead. His heart's in the right place.

I'm not familiar enough with the topic to know if you're correct or not, but I don't watch his channel to see his project work out, seeing him learn small things along the way and share that journey but also him connecting with himself and the community around his land in unique ways through his project is intriguing and hopeful. A mad dream pushed forward by a mad man, which may not come to fruition, but it's a whole lot more entertaining than watching people take on small projects that are guaranteed to succeed.
