Catching Yellowfish on the Orange River with Some Thing Fishy
A group of friends and I go on a fishing trip to Vioolsdrift, on the border of South Africa and Namibia, in search of the mystical Yellowfish.
Guided by De Villiers Uys from Some Thing Fishy and fed by chef Ferdi Birkholtz, the team consisted of Simon MacLennan, Benjamin van Wyk, Ruan Scott, John Bekker and myself.

    Thanks for making this vlog, man. I'm in the process of deciding whether to accept RAI this year or delay it further. I have recurring thyrotoxicosis, very well managed by medication, and two young children, one who is severely disabled, so choosing to become radioactive and having to isolate from them isn't easy. But it's amazing to see someone's experience of the RAI and how it affects. All aspects in choosing my course of action.

    • @thefakemarcel
      @thefakemarcel 4 місяці тому

    Are you literally required to lock yourself in an isolated area? Are you allowed to be in one room while the other housemates pass common areas just so long you stay 6 feet apart? Other than bathrooms can you share common areas like laundry room?

    • @thefakemarcel
      @thefakemarcel 5 місяців тому

      It is recommended to isolate in a decontaminated space because radioactivity can be transferred through touch, so you could isolate in your room, if you're just careful of everything you touch. All the best on your treatment.

    • @thefakemarcel
      @thefakemarcel 5 місяців тому

      Nothing to be scared of, it's just a little boring, so take some things with to read / do. The scans can take anything from 10 minutes to 40 minutes every few months. All the best

    Hi Marcel. I just came across this video of yours - I was unaware of your situation the last time I saw you in November!! I went through the same journey in 2016 and it was interesting to see your documentation thereof and the memories of that experience came flooding back. Must say it was definitely not the most pleasant of times but I’m pleased to say apart from a few scares in between I remain a survivor. I send you many blessings and wish the same for you ❤
