My time in the royal finnish military taught one thing about camping and surviving in the winter. Have a big fire and remember to put up your tent before everything. Putting up the tent when you are starving might suck, but it sucks ten times more when it is dark and all the blood goes to your stomach area and your fingers freeze.

Pop, this was an excellent video. The contrast of the abundantly supplied city grocery store with your conservative meal choices, the cars on the autobahn as a backdrop to your 'primitive' two-wheeled pedal power, leading up to a 'Moment in Time'; a brief reflection, and the realization that so many have made before you: "What am I doing on this ridiculous trip .. ?" But then ... you already knew the answer; you crossed the Rubicon; the die was cast, forged in the heat of the campfire. In the morning you emerge from your tent .. there is a 'knowing', your destiny maybe, to lead us couch-ridden suburbanites out of the house, if even to encourage us to sit on the porch once in a while .. and from there, to dare to join you in spirit to scale our own 'Mt. Everest' .. or perhaps make a reservation at a KOA.

Nice. I see, that you are going to expand the content of your channel into the realm om the "hunter/ gatherer world". I have just heard though, that when the "predator" is surrounded by such an abundance of "prey items" it can be confusing and difficult to focus on one particular "item" and that improves the survivability rate of the one, particular item, relatively speaking. You are clearly experienced in this discipline though, you managed to stay focused, and got your "catch". Not all are that lucky. This is the core meaning of Darwin's "survival of the fittest" principle. Fit in body and mind. And LOL. Cucumber condom. I had never heard that before, odd maybe? So it is though. Nice day no matter what!!! :o) (And looking forward to the next one!)
