Big Stick's the kinda guy that if you were on a lonely Alaska road with a flat tire and he drove up, he would do one of two things: 1) change your tire for you using only his bare hands and no jack or lug wrench, or 2) he'd laugh at you and drive away. I'm betting number one.
Seriously, I think his abrasiveness is 99.9% his shtick. He knows his stuff. He lives the life he claims to live. He's a wordsmith with vulgarities. He's a helluva photographer, some of it worthy of National Geographic. And he's a minor celebrity on this site. I don't think there's much fake about him except how much of an [bleep] he makes many think he is.
