Many people appreciate my work, and that’s what keeps me going. Often they want to help, so if that’s you, here’s some ideas.
- Patreon – for those who can afford it, direct cash support which I use for funding research, trips and gear. patreon.com/L2SFBC and see below for benefits.
- YouTube membership – hit the Join button on my channel, same benefits as below.
- Sharing, likes and comments – share the videos, blog posts etc. Even liking and commenting on a video helps. Any form of engagement with content is picked up by the social media algorithms.
- Use my affiliate links – anyone can use the code L2SFBC10 at a247 for $10 off when spending $100 or more. See below for additional Patreon discount.
Supporter benefits for L2SFBC:
Early videos, ad-free:
Patreon and YT allows me to upload videos. The same video will (probably) make its way to YouTube public, but the advantages to supporters are:
- Early access ahead of the YT hordes
- Ad-free viewing
- More personal support, it’s hard to pick through hundreds of YT comments
Note: some videos may go direct to YT, depending on interest from supporters, or if they are time-critical or part of an embargo. I may still put a copy up on Patreon.

Periodic group Zoom calls
These calls are general video chats between my supporters, usually with a special guest, and where I can I answer questions. Turns out my supporters are good at helping each other and have many common interests! Usually one per month for as long as they go for, which is around one to two hours. Requirement is video on and full name please.
Support
1 on 1 direct support for questions and queries, via the Patreon website or YT membership.
I will add more to this list when I can.
