Hello ladies and gentlemen!

My name is Kurt, and since 2011 I've been making a variety of Let's Play gaming videos on YouTube. The longest running series on my channel is Far Lands or Bust, where I've been traveling on an expedition to the fabled Far Lands of Minecraft for over three years.

Thanks to a combination of good timing, hard work, and dedicated fans, I have been able to turn this hobby of mine into a career. By becoming a full-time content creator, my livelihood and ability to create daily videos depend solely on the earnings I receive from the advertising revenue share program with YouTube. Unfortunately, ads can be obtrusive to my viewers' experience, and the income from them is inconsistent and unpredictable. Patrons to the rescue!

How does this help?

By becoming a Patron with a monthly pledge, you're helping to reduce my absolute dependency on advertising revenue. You would be allowing me the freedom and flexibility to launch new and exciting creations to share with you and all your fellow fans around the world! Check out the list of Milestone Goals on the left side of this page to see what awesome new projects can launch thanks to everyone's cumulative pledges to this Patreon.

Patron Rewards

To become a Patron of mine, you can pledge any amount you'd like! As a small token of my thanks, I am offering special Patron "rewards" listed below. Please keep in mind, however, that your pledge is not equivalent to a purchase of these items, but instead a direct support for the content I create!
