I Followed a River Down the Mountain and Found This

Beach tourists imagine the Canary Islands as dry deserts where only cactus grow. If they explored the interior they'd find mountains, forests, and this majestic ravine carved by water over 1,000s of years. Join my journey along the Azuaje Ravine from mountain to sea, crossing the fast-flowing river many times, and discovering an ancient spa hotel lost to the forest. In this video you'll see: - ...
Wild Camping With a Mystery Guest Was TERRIFYING

Sometimes wild camping offers total peace and views that no 5 star hotel could replicate. This is not one of those times.

Breaking The Rules Is THE ONLY Way To See Nature

Common wisdom says if you want to hike from A to B over a few days, you need to book an "official" place to stay, like a campsite. But what if you want to experience real nature?

How Victorians Built This Lighthouse at Sea

The Victorians faced huge challenges building a lighthouse at sea 213m from the cliffs of Beachy Head. But a series of disastrous shipwrecks off England's South Coast couldn't be ignored, so they came up with an ingenious solution based on the latest technology of the time and plenty of steam. But why did the Victorians choose to build a lighthouse at Beachy Head anyway? And how did they tame t...

Surviving November in Finland Like a Local
I like the music so refreshing 🎉❤❤
before you even got off the boat, you saw 2 historical buildings. Corbiere Light House is the first concrete poured Light House in the British Isles. Elizabeth Castle was where the last siege of the British Civil War took place on British soil. you are incorrect about Lothringen, the Command bunker was a tourist attraction back in the late 70's, when the C.I.O.S opened it up as a living museum. my favourite bunker that they restored is the M19 at Corbiere. which is well worth a visit, as well as my mate Damian's Occupation Museum at the end of the five mile road.
Thanks for adding context to these locations. The only lighthouse I've looked into is Beachy Head, which is made of granite. It's interesting that they used concrete for this one.
wow
Ok, but how did they build the dam? That’s what I’m looking for.
Good question. Here's what I found in the book: "Iron sheets were hammered into the soft upper layer of chalk to a height of 8ft (2.5m) above high water. Concrete was used to finish the damn."
@@tomgoesnomad thank you. It impresses me how stable they are against the waves to this day. Great video!
Great video! I have been trying to figure out how the la jument lighthouse was built which lead me here.
Interesting. Looks like that one was built around the same time. Did they cheat and build it on a rock?
Excellently put together. Deserves more views!
If they built it that close to the shore, why not just build it on the shore?
This lighthouse replaced another one on the cliff top nearby. Apparently there was a problem with fog obscuring the light there.
Thanks, I found that really helpful.
I imagine this refers to the concrete bunker. This was used for meetings but he didn't sleep there. He slept in a wooden building nearby. In addition due to the weather it was too hot for meetings in the fuhrer bunker and a much more flimsy wooden building with windows was used. The Russians went to great lengths to blow up Hitler's bunker but the pieces were so huge to let them be taken away.
Very informative. Thank you 👍
You're very welcome.
Don't try to patch the puncture same like location if the tyre falls into the river you will be screwed
There is not any need for security on that border.
Wow didn't know he was there for so long
Build my own hotel. Well that's the way you get it right. Brilliant.
Where is this? What a great find.
It's on La Gomera in the Canary Islands. I found it randomly at the end of a hike I did across the island, like it was a free gift.
Canary Islands absolutely incredible. I love that place
I wish more people were like you. Less concerned with the activities of others and interested solely in the pursuit of the self. These people who cannot think for themselves will live in the confines of rules and restrictions their entire lives - and so resent those that live by their own. More power to you brother. Awesome video.
i love the opening scene, i always missed that kind of ntense but we need to move stealh-ly. I dont mind with the horror of ghosts, jin, creatures, carnivors etc, im a harcore i believe some rules r made just for safety reason, but sometimes rules also made to control things esp the people, for some reason i dont mind. But no, i dont need some one sided rules, i just need one. wild camping is for wild people only, not the bad wild but the wise wild like me n you, yes you, LOL. im 26 years soloing, nomadic inside my own country, the wild tropical but strangely beautiful of Indonesia, n im on Papua now for 7 years, roaming in the rain forest, talking to the right trees just to watch and live side by side with the birds of paradise. i envy to a vlogger like you, im an autis, i cant face to face with people
I wish I wasn't so paranoid every time I hear a voice or a cough when camping like this. Hopefully it will get easier with time. Until then, I have earplugs so I can actually sleep. You are having real adventures in Indonesia. Not everything has to be recorded and shared, but I believe talking to a camera is a skill that most people can pick up (I'm still learning).
@@tomgoesnomadjust be safe n keep sharp my friend, i will be watching your next vlogs, lets learn n grow together
WHAT tent are you using? it looks very neat and portable
Sure, it's the Shittake model made by nevergowildcampingincorporated. Never go wild camping, it's very dangerous young man. You better be using that tent in your backyard only.
@@jakegraham7265 😅😅😅
@kasperand it's the Forclaz MT900 from Decathlon. It's my first lightweight tent but works really well for me.
The reason they don't allow wild camping is because a lot of people are disrespectful to nature and leave behind all their trash. If you leave no trace I can't see anyone having a single problem with it. Just stay out of sight where cops might see you, pack up early in the morning and nobody will even know. I am definitely planning on doing this with my girlfriend during our Europe tour this summer!
Wholeheartedly agree.
Thanks for your fantastic movie
I've not done it for years, but there's nothing more freeing then wild camping!
So ? What's new ?
Just because you-re a bum and never put a brick in top of another, who gave you the right to judge others? they should never? Why speak big words, phrases, you don't understand?
30fps 💀
Interesting to hear your thoughts. Good video!
i'm not sure that this matters. people come up with great ideas while riding, but the actual speech we give while on the bike is not usually the easiest to listen to as we didn't yet have the time to find the exact right words. so recording the idea for yourself is absolutely useful, but a voice recording will do that just fine. after it's a fully fledged idea of a speech, whether the camera you use is stationary or not makes little difference.
Seeing someone so awestruck (lacking better word) of everyday sights to myself makes me feel sad.
a feat on par with crossing the DMZ to north Korea
During one hiking trip me and my wife walked from Norway to Sweden, then from Sweden to Finland and finally from Finland back to Norway.
Så dere gikk rundt treriksrøsa da.😂
@@leif-kareeikeland5209 Basically yes, but not only on the little island around the cairn. We left our car in Signaldalen, hiked toGappohytta and slept there. Then we hiked to Pältsätuga and Pältsä waterfall. From there we hiked to Kuohkimajärvi, spent two nights there and hiked via Goldahytta to the top of Bárrás, slept one night on the slope of Bárrás and hiked back to our car.
In the Nordic countries this has been normal for ages. Back in 1979, I was coming on a train from Denmark to Sweden and as usual, the border controls came and asked for passports, I didn't care to dig out my passport so I just said to them "Finländare" (Finnish in Swedish language), nothing else. They didn't bother me after that, they just asked the other people for their passports.
I’ve done this too, nothing special nor need for a video. U don’t videotape your trip to a supermarket either
"Trying to WALK", the street sign in the thumbnail is indicating the walk/bike lane across the boarder. There is no need to try, just go :)
The world should be easy to travel between borders like it used to be free and easily, countries are an idea, idea's should not dictate where people can go, every person has a right to travel this earth freely.
You should now try walking to Norway from Sweden ;)
I used to cross the border every morning and afternoon for over two years back when I was studying in Tornio. I drove whilst iiving in Kalix and when I later on moved to Haparanda i used to ride my bike or walk. As a student I was no stranger to parties either, and on weekends I crossed drunk on several occations. Over the years the border guards only stopped me once, while driving to school. A couple of years after exam they closed the border check all together. "The twin cities" surely live up to their name! These days I travel to Tornio once in a while to stock up on licorice and finnish sausages.
Where next? Balkans!? 🎉
Not as many Finnish shoppers in Haparanda on a Sunday since the most popular destination is closed on Sundays.
Has this person never heard of the EU?
In urban areas the heating is done through district heating, so it costs next to nothing to heat up a home. For rental apartments, the district heating is generally *always* part of the rent.
Very interesting. So the water is heated elsewhere and pumped under the streets to the apartment?
Big apartments have their own big hot water boilers in the basement that usually use district heating to heat up the water and the radiators. For the residents the water and heating (that includes both hot and cold water) usually costs about 15-20 euros/month per person @@tomgoesnomad
@@tomgoesnomad Yeah correct. We have pretty big heating grids in smaller cities too.
As a Finn, you notice that you've crossed the border when you see the Swedes signal wrongly in the roundabout that you drive to right after the border crossing.They signal to the left until they leave the roudabout, whereas the Finns signal to the right only when they leave it. Swedes will contest this, but your way is absolutely the wrong way to do it lol.
In case you didn't know Lappland is in both sweden and finland, covering the whole northern area, it's not just in finland :)
Trying? Just walk - its open border.
I live in Finland and have Norwegien friend, Eilev who has been in Finland a dozen times, see while he was serving in Norwegian border guard the guys had a habit to go to a big border stone standing where the the borders of Sweden, Finland and Norway join and run circles around the stone. They were armed guards from one contry crossing from one country to another😊 no fuss no pasports no permits just fun, try doing that on the eastern border of Finland…
Incredible production, Loving the videos in my home country!
We have Ikeas in Finland too! (Though not anywhere near there.)
I've binge watched all of your videos from your Finnish adventures. I really like and appreciate how you've taken your time to do research on history and local culture etc. Also your pronounciation of Finnish words is really good. I like your videos, thank you for the amazing content!
Thanks for joining me on these adventures in Finland!
Remember me when you are popular👍

Democratic EU countries Sweden and Finland - why would government restrict people going freely across border? Of course not. control is for autoritarian countries like Russia and China.
Fairly similar to Sweden. Insulation has gotten a lot better since around the year 2000. Modern homes typically have very thick walls to accommodate a lot of insulation. We also use ventilation that uses the heat in the exhaust to heat up the intake air with a heat exchanger which can save up to 90% of the heat normally lost via ventilation. Windows have gotten thicker and with more layers of glass over the years as well. Older houses can be very costly to heat up during winter though as they tend to not have very good insulation. Especially homes from before the 1960s that haven’t received extra insulation. Before the oil crisis in the 70s oil was so cheap it was used to heat homes and you didn’t worry much about insulation but after the prices of energy skyrocketed insulation became important.
