@vinylpuma1 I like you comment, and no it wasn't cold when I recorded this video. I appreciate your concern for my comfort while I was recording this video, but I assure you that I was quite comfortable. This was recorded on a mild day a few days after a cold spell which left some snow. As you say, the snow was melting in most areas except for where there was some deep shade in some parts of my route. Years ago I used to visit my place in the forest where I record the videos for my channel in the middle of the winter when it was very cold with deep snow but over the years my tolerance for enduring cold and trudging through deep snow has reduced considerably. Now I am very selective about when I go, waiting for mild weather and reasonable snow levels. Thanks for your comment and for your concern and also for your humor, your comment gave me a good laugh!

@mos_looner I agree, these balloons are beautiful and it is a lot of fun hiking with these balloons. It is my hope that through this UA-cam channel that viewers like you can experience some of the joy that I experience with these beautiful balloons in the forest. Almost like you are walking with me with the helium balloons, at least that is my hope! Thanks for your comment.

@asanchez9683 Stay tuned! I plan to be creating a new video that I think that you will like! The video will involve these balloons and it will follow a suggestion that you made a few videos ago. I am expecting to have the new video in the queue for this channel over the next few weeks.

@foy1944 You're welcome! My pleasure!

@mermaidz4456 I wholeheartedly agree! These 17 inch crystal magenta TufTex balloons are gorgeous! They are also durable too which makes them perfect for a hike in the forest! Appreciate your comment!

@MikhailKalashnikov-c8s Yes, tangerine is a favorite of mine but it is time for a bit of change-up! Also wanted to let you know that I have a couple of other crystal colors in the queue for upcoming months. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate that you noticed and let me know!

@porkchop2218 Yes, it is nice when the balloon comes back. I particularly enjoy on windy days when the balloon goes way up in the air and looks like it is going to blow away in the wind but then it comes back. Never know what to expect and sometimes a pleasant surprise!

@Ottlaw67 I purchase these balloons from Amazon.com. They are navy blue 18 inch Zwzliulian brand balloons. Note that from what I have heard they may only be available in the US. Here is a link though this link may only work in the US. a.co/d/aUJ2z14

@JayMaxx-ng9xo I agree with what you are saying. Personally I like to fill the balloons up all the way and even over inflating them! For the videos on a calm day, such as the videos of balloons in trees, I will continue to blow them up big because that does make them more fragile as you are saying, they also float better when they are bigger. For the videos on a windy day, such as this video, I will continue to inflate them less because with the strong winds they need to be a bit more durable. In this way will have it both ways. I definitely share your bias, big, fully filled and overfilled balloons are fun! Thanks for your comment, I appreciate you letting me know your preference!

Ah that makes sense

@peterdavies8055 Glad you like them. My pleasure!

@Chip49 My pleasure! It was a challenge getting these three big balloons to the place in the forest where I record my videos. I have already recorded a couple of newer hiking videos like this one that feature even more balloons on the hike. I just did one that featured 6 balloons last weekend! Quite the challenge! I will be putting these videos out on my channel over the next few months. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate your encouragement!

@MH-rc4wf Using 24 inch balloons rather than 18 inch is a good idea, something that I have been considering for a while. Though I like 24 inch balloons unfortunately it comes down to cost and choice. In my research 24 inch balloons are 2X, 3X and even 4X the price of 18 inch balloons. In the case of the more reasonable 2X price balloons the only brand that I have found has the balloons only available in assorted color packages that include colors that are less attractive, which I wouldn't choose if they were available in single colors. Also, I find some of the colors are less durable but here again I don't have choice with these. I will keep looking, in the mean time I will continue to produce some 24 inch balloon videos. Currently there is one 24 inch video on my channel: ua-cam.com/video/9ATPk4B36rs/v-deo.html Your suggestion of having multiple balloons at the same time is a good one. I have been considering this for a while, in fact I did some experimenting with it early on. I inflated multiple balloons and put them in shrubs and low trees and tried to keep them all from popping as puffs of wind came through. I ran into the problem that as I saved some, others would pop but they would be out of view of the camera and so the experience would be missed. Also, I came to realize that this was rather stressful and uncomfortable for me. Guess that I have never been good at multitasking! Personally I enjoy concentrating on a single balloon as in the trees or on a windy day, but when it comes to more than that I find it uncomfortably stressful. This may just be a case of needing to find the best way to do it, to work out the mechanics to make it work, but right now I don't have a good way to do this. I am open for specific suggestions though! Thanks for your suggestions! They are both big subjects for me, I will continue to work on both of them. I also appreciate your encouragement! Happy New Year to you too!

@EbrahimKhalid_77 Yes, I like your suggestion! What you are describing actually happens a lot. Often when I inflate a balloon to the max as you say there is not enough neck left to tie the balloon so I just twist the balloon instead. But then sometimes the twisting comes undone when I throw the balloon up in the air and then the balloon flies around all over the place as it is deflating as you are saying. I thought about making a video of this a while ago but I forgot about the idea. This would be fun, you never know what the balloon will do as it is deflating! I will work to get a video on the site like this that shows the times that balloons fly away as you are saying. It probably won't be right away, will probably be another month or two because I have other videos in "the queue" for the upcoming weeks but I will keep your suggestion in mind. Thanks, I appreciate your comment and your suggestion, great suggestion!

@ no problem!!!

@peterdavies8055 Appreciate your response and feedback on this! Yes, I can see that this new approach is going to improve the experience considerably, particularly when it comes to strong wind as in this video. Not sure why I didn't think of this myself with all the videos I have done with fully and overfilled balloons popping so quickly on windy days. Guess that I kind of like the balloons filled way up and even a little overfilled. Well, I guess that I will save that for calm days! Thanks for your comment!

@Maandaryn Yes, "balloon boomerang" as you are saying happens a lot, particularly on windy days like in this video. I throw the balloon up and then the wind sends it right back at me. I usually don't show this in the videos because this doesn't seem quite as exciting as when the balloon bumps into things but it does add to the challenge. I keep throwing the balloon away and it keeps coming back! The particularly funny times is when balloon goes in circles in the air before coming back! Thanks for your comment and happy new year to your too!

@mrwindz Welcome to my channel! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for your comment.

I love the sheer randomness and unknown fate of each throw. For windy days, 80% inflating is almost a must if the loon has a fighting chance as each bounce with so much wind force and speed.

@@Nbowa Yes, never know what to expect next with balloons and the wind. You "hit the nail on the head" when it comes to what is going on with the balloons. It is often amazing what the balloons can endure with the speed of the wind and inflating them less enhances this even more. Thanks for your comment and your encouragement!

@vinylpuma1 Happy New Year to you too! A new year, some new balloons, agree that this is a great way to start the new year! Glad to share and appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

I like how you chase them and how they pop as you grab them. I remember doing that in my younger years and waiting to hear the pop, especially on cold days.

There’s a video where he’s walking through the forest with an orange helium balloon. It’s a non pop video

@TakahiroShinjo-v2b and @baracc10 There are currently two non-pop videos on my channel: First, a video with a single helium balloon: ua-cam.com/video/bGdFXyxcB7M/v-deo.html Second, a video with three helium balloons: ua-cam.com/video/kU_HvwzfyVU/v-deo.html Please check back in the upcoming months for more non-pop videos. Thanks for your interest and comments.

@JoseSilva-zv5lr Glad to hear that you are enjoying my videos! Sounds like you are suggesting that I try creating videos with me intentionally popping balloons. Will consider the idea, thanks for your suggestion and for the encouragement!

@Maandaryn Yes, you make a good point and bring up an interesting issue. Looking over this video, I did inflate most of the balloons in this video too much, particularly for a "windy day" video considering that the wind is particularly hard on balloons. That is probably the reason why most of these balloons popped so quickly and with so little play as you are saying. I have been making a point of not inflating the balloons so much in many of my more recent videos. I would encourage you to look at my channel home page and check out some of the more recent ones that weren't inflated so much. This video was actually recorded in October, the ones that I have been recording more recently have been inflated a bit less so as I get those on the site I'm hoping that you will notice a difference. Personally, I like the balloons inflated a bit bigger and the bigger balloons float a bit better so there are tradeoffs. On the other hand if I inflate them too much less then I run into the problem that hardly pop at all. It may seem strange to consider "not popping" a problem but having the balloon filled tight enough so that it is prone to pop enough (but not too much as you are saying) is an important part of the "play to pop" experience. I guess that I am trying to say that I find getting the balloon filled up just right is a challenge but as you say most of the balloons in this video are inflated too much and pop way too quickly. Please look for improvement in my future videos. Also note that I also have a lot of older content that I recorded a while ago that contains overfilled balloons like those in this video that I will be putting out on the channel later this winter so some of my future videos will still contain overinflated balloons like this video, so it will be a mix. Thanks for your comment, this response has turned out to be longer than a regular comment, sorry for being so "long-winded" on a windy day video but you bring up a interesting subject! Happy Ballooning!

@@forestballoon yo can u do like non pop verison of playing balloon on forest its nice to watch

@Maandaryn I took your advice and tried your idea last weekend when I went to the forest. I only inflated the balloons about 80% as you suggested and it worked great! I had never tried putting that little air in the balloons and it turned out much better. It was a windy day like before and the balloons lasted much longer before they popped and made for what I think was a better video. Much more play time! Thanks again for your suggestion! I put the new video on the channel today, here is a link to the video ua-cam.com/video/b9Hd1Lj_fWw/v-deo.html

@TakahiroShinjo-v2b Glad you are enjoying my videos. I currently have two non-pop videos on my channel, here are links: ua-cam.com/video/bGdFXyxcB7M/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/kU_HvwzfyVU/v-deo.html Please visit my channel regularly, I am planning to add more non-pop videos in the upcoming months. Thanks for your comment.

@@forestballoon Hello, Thank you with all my heart for your answer, I also like playing with balloons in the way you show in your videos. I'm glad you checked how balloons behave when inflated to 80%. I love playing with Puchballoons, although when I look at your videos, the balloons you are playing with are super durable, even better than mine. I can't wait for you to present another video on your channel :). /i Need to use google Translate becouse my english is like medium level :)

@huharry2272 Merry (belated) Christmas to you! This video did turn out to be a Christmas gift for the channel. Thanks for noticing and for the comment!

@mattul5254 These balloons just came from Amazon. In fact these video segments were recorded way back in October and the orange balloons were originally purchased about 6 months ago. Though the segments and the balloons were not from Christmas, the video was a bit of a Christmas gift for the channel. Thanks for asking!

@Tonarinotoro Agreed! Balloons in the forest, balloons in the trees, seem to me to be a great combination! Thanks for your comment!

@Panda-b8x Great question! You are bringing up a big subject with me, both a practical one and a philosophical one, I hope that you will excuse me if I answer your question in essay form rather than as a more regular quick UA-cam comment response. Yes, I make a point of picking up the pieces of popped balloons. When a balloon pops I take the time to look over the area and collect the balloon parts that I find. When balloon parts are stuck out of reach in trees I often use long sticks and in some cases the blower that I use to inflate the balloons to get the balloon pieces out of the trees so that I can pick them up. There are at times when balloon pieces are so high up in trees or so thoroughly stuck in trees that I can't reasonably get them down. In these cases I make note of where they are and check on later visits to the forest to see if they have blown down or been knocked down by rain and other weather. It has worked out that in these cases I often find the pieces under the tree on the next or later visits. There have even been cases where pieces were thoroughly stuck in a tree in the fall and I found the pieces the next spring after the snow melted. At this point I have not really answered your deeper question within your question, what about the pieces caught up in a tree that fall down when I am not around but that I don't find when I come back? Or even more to the point, what about the pieces that I simply don't notice and so don't pick up whether they are on the ground or up in a tree. After all, this is forest covered with groundcover, undergrowth, pine needles, etc. so it is simply not realistic to find some of the balloon parts. The answer is that I know that I don't find them all, I don't pick up them all, this is not a perfect process. I can find some comfort in knowing that balloon rubber is biodegradable, that given time the parts will degrade along with the decaying plant material and have negligible impact on the forest in the long run. Additionally, the area where I record the videos for my channel is an area of natural fire-ecology so in the case of this forest, fire is another factor affecting the breakdown of materials in the forest. If you watch my content closely, particularly my recent videos, you will most likely notice large piles of cut trees, branches and undergrowth dotting the forest. The reason for this is that this area is scheduled for a prescribed burn, also known as a controlled burn. What I am saying here is that there are a number of ways in which the forest naturally renews itself whether by gradual decay or more immediate naturally occurring forest fires in an area with a natural fire cycle as well as human management through prescribed burns which this forest is due for in the near future. It seems important to recognize that the forest, this forest, all forests, are not the static, fixed, unchanging place that they may appear but that they are instead dynamic, changing, developing, responding, interacting environments that we, humanity, are very much a part of. Along with the practical "nature will renew itself" side of my argument there is also a philosophical side. It seems that there are many ways to see the forest. Some look at the forest as a perfect pristine place where we are foreign visitors, where we must be careful to "leave nothing but footprints," leave little or no trace of our visitation, of our being there. The problem I see with this point of view is that it separates us from the forest, makes the forest separate from humanity. It is important that we protect the forest, the environment, from negative impact, but it seems the more that we separate ourselves from the forest, from nature, the more disconnected that we become from it, and the less that we see and value the forest for our own sake and for the sake of the forest. I believe that if we are to truly come to care about the forest, nature, then we would do well to become a part of it, to connect with it, to immerse ourselves in it. That is the way that we will learn to care about the forest and to care for the forest. For example, though I am not personally a hunter, I have a great deal of respect for hunters and hunting. In my experience, hunters are some of the most ardent supporters and defenders of forests, wild places, nature. It seems to me that it is through becoming interested in the natural world like, having a stake in the forest, in nature, that, becoming an active participant rather than simply an external observer. I am talking about engaging in the natural world, truly being a part of it, and yes that does mean having an impact on the natural world. The point is, though, that we not only impact the natural world but the natural world also impacts us. In this way we become a part of the natural world and the natural world becomes a part of us. Through our participation in the forest, we become participants, members, stewards and caretakers of the forest, of the environment, of nature. In so doing we come to no longer see the natural world, nature, the forest, as something out there, something separate, something foreign. In this way the forest becomes a part of where we live, where we work, where we play, a part of who we are, a part of how we experience the world around us, a part of our life. The videos for this channel are not only about us entertaining ourselves in the forest, this is about coming to value the forest, the experience of nature, for the sake of the forest and for our own sake. Sharing my love for nature, for the natural environment, for the forest near my home where these videos are recorded, is much of what this channel is about for me. To come back to not only your question but also, and in particular, what seems to me to be the question within your question, the answer is yes, I do have an impact on the forest through the balloon pieces that get left behind even after I take the time to pick up the pieces. But my follow-up answer is that I believe that the value that comes out of this channel, the value to me and to those who experience this channel, the value of bringing us all closer to the forest, to see the forest, to value the forest, far outweighs the impact of the pieces of rubber that I overlook as I make an effort to clean up after myself. The value is caring, becoming an advocate for the forest, no longer seeing the forest from a distance, no longer seeing the forest as something outside of us, something external, becoming a part of the forest, and allowing the forest to become a part of us. @Panda-b8x thank you for your question! It is good to know that there are people on UA-cam who care about the forest, who take the time and effort to consider such questions, to ask such questions as you have asked. I hope that my response to your question has offered something to consider, perhaps even open up a discussion. Your question and this discussion seem important, timely, at this time of concern about environmental impact on many levels, in many ways. I am going to pin this comment on this video so hopefully others will take note of this and perhaps enter into the discussion or leave a comment.

@nightrider3919 Good to hear that you enjoy my balloon play. The balloons are beautiful, I agree with what you are saying wholeheartedly. I consider this opportunity to have this experience in the "peace and quiet" of the forest truly a privilege like none other. I appreciate your encouragement! Best wishes for wherever your own balloon experiences may take you whether they are vicarious such as through this channel or in your own personal real world experience!

@nightrider3919 Yes, you have expressed my feelings exactly! I have been visiting this place in the forest for quite a few years now. I have spent my time there playing with balloons much as you see in these videos. Just about a year ago it occurred to me that perhaps other people with similar interests to what I have would enjoy just watching, just seeing and hearing, just experiencing playing with balloons in the forest like I do. That is when I decided to start this UA-cam channel to allow others to enjoy this experience too. I'm glad to hear that you enjoy seeing and hearing my balloon play. Though this is a personal solo experience for me, it is good to think that with these videos that it is a bit like you and others visiting this channel are here with me experiencing the joy of the moment. Though you aren't here, perhaps my channel is the next best thing to truly being there with me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I can see that you get what I am trying to express here. Happy Ballooning!

@porkchop2218 Yes, this forest balloon channel does allow me to enjoy and express "the best of both worlds" as you are saying with videos featuring both videos like this one without popping the balloons as well as the "play to pop" videos featuring balloons popping. And yes, hiking with these three helium balloons created a bit of anxiety though it was exhilarating at the same time as you are saying. I did end up keeping all three of these balloons, I brought them home and they continued to float for a couple of days after. I then deflated them, I still have the balloons.

@porkchop2218 Yes, I agree. These crystal TufTex balloons are beautiful and they hold up well and can be blown up big with Helium. Over the last four or five years I have taken about a dozen hikes like this with a single orange balloon like this and it has always been very enjoyable. Not only is it fun working to keep the balloon from popping for the hike, it is also fun seeing the response of other hikers I meet along the trail. They are always surprised to see the big beautiful balloon out in the forest. This weekend I have been thinking about taking a group of four magenta crystal balloons on the same hike as this video, should make for a good hike and maybe a good video too. Thanks for your comment.

@porkchop2218 Not only was the ending a shock for me at the time, when I was editing the video I could see that all three balloons popped at the same instant, the same frame in the video. One moment they were there and the next they were all gone! No more balloon bunch!

我都喜歡黃色氣球，拎住氣球影相最好

@@chuilinglai7189 I am glad that you like these yellow balloons and this video. Thanks for your comment!

@porkchop2218 Agreed! Fun to play and fun to watch! Glad you are enjoying watching the game, thanks for your comment!

@porkchop2218 Been a while since I made and last watched this video so watched it again. Yes, the first part was mostly light play, mostly throwing up in the air and catching and then the later part was rougher play, in the shrubs and on the ground. Was the general approach that I took with many of these "balloon bunch" videos. Thanks for your comment, first one on this video.

I do this at my hunting camp!! Much fun!!

@MrStansknives Thanks for your recommendation! I looked them up on Amazon and found the Prextex balloons as you are saying. As far as I could tell they were currently only available in white, yellow and emerald. I ordered a package of 30 18 inch emerald balloons. Will let you know how it goes with these balloons. Exciting to try a new brand of balloons!

@MrStansknives I got the Prextex balloon order from Amazon. They are quite soft, easy to inflate, and they get quite large as you said. Very nice balloons. I expect that these balloons will make it into my videos at some point. Thanks for your suggestion! Good to have a new balloon brand to get from Amazon and to make use of in my videos!

@MrStansknives Yes, these balloons pop nicely when they are filled up big like this. Thanks for the encouragement!

@MrStansknives Great! I have never seen anyone else in the forest with a balloon but I sure do enjoy it! People do take notice though when I walk past them on a trail with a helium balloon. They appear to enjoy seeing me with the balloon. Really is pleasant to be in the forest with balloons!

@MikhailKalashnikov-c8s Glad to hear that you are enjoying my video and downloading for your own copy. Feels good to be recognized and remembered, thank you for your encouragement.

@MrStansknives Yes, the balloons do shred into tiny pieces, particularly when they are inflated big and tight! It is always a tradeoff between inflating them big and tight and having them shred as you are saying, vs not filling them quite so much and having them last longer such as in the trees. A lot of fun either way!

@MrStansknives Fun! Bet it adds a whole new dimension to the trip!

@porkchop2218 Thanks for noticing, yes I am careful with the balloons when I catch them or pick them up, it is easy to accidently cause them to pop by bumping them against something. Though the air filled "play to pop" balloons do end up popping in the end, I have kept the helium balloons that haven't popped. In fact, I not only take the helium balloons to my place in the forest as I show on the videos, I also usually bring them back to my home intact as you say. The large helium ones usually continue to float for at least a couple of days.

Amen!!!

@vinylpuma1 Nice to be a part of your morning. Glad you liked the video. Appreciate your comment.

@FakihAlif Thanks for your suggestion. I will consider it.

@FakihAlif Thanks for your suggestion. I will consider your suggestion, though this is a bit different from my usual content for this channel. This channel is mainly about playing with balloons in the forest.

@porkchop2218 I agree, playing with balloons like this is exciting, quite an adrenaline rush. On a windy day like this it is a challenge to catch the balloons before they pop, but it makes it even more exciting. I particularly like playing with red balloons like you are saying, a nice color for balloons, bright and shiny. Navy Blue and Orange are also favorite colors of mine for balloons, as you see in many of my other videos.

@@forestballoon those are also my favorite colors for balloons. They’re very vibrant.

@angelshaw8983 Sometimes I am able to catch the balloons before they pop but most of the time they pop before I get to them, this is particularly true of windy day videos like this one. Seeing the balloons pop is an important part of the "play to pop" videos like this one. If you would prefer to not see the balloons pop, then maybe you would like my hiking videos. My hiking videos feature helium balloons and they are "non-pop" videos. Here are links to hiking balloon videos: ua-cam.com/video/bGdFXyxcB7M/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/kU_HvwzfyVU/v-deo.html

@foy1944 These videos are always exciting to create too! Thanks for your comment.

@vinylpuma1 Funny! I love the way that you describe the interaction between the two trees and the balloon! This was actually quite an experience for me when it happened. The second tree actually held the balloon for a while, I cut out about 4 minutes from the video while the balloon was held by the second tree. That was an intense 4 minutes for me, I wasn't sure whether the balloon would stay way up in the second tree or even worse yet, pop up there out of sight. Then when the balloon was released by the second tree I was excited that maybe after all of that the balloon would come back to me without popping. It was a bit of a let down when the balloon popped when it went back to the first tree again but it was also exciting. I didn't realize that the balloon came back to the same tree that it had originally bumped against until when I was watching the video a few days later. Your idea of a balloon game between two trees works perfectly! Thanks for your comment, you have allowed me to enjoy the experience all over again! Hope you don't mind but I am going to pin your comment for others to see. Fun stuff!
