    Thanks for sharing in English. I used to drink about 4 big cups of coffee a day and I felt quite shity without it or if the morning coffee was due stress not available. Since I startet drinking Yerba I overcome the coffein addiction. I „survive“ without coffein and function normally and it give me some stress releave. I only drink Yerba if I got time or I take me some time for it. It slowes me down but gives me energy. It’s beautiful. It’s like a treatment.

    Follow yerbamatelab, not saying this guy is bad cause he's not, and obviously the fan base like this guy, all I'm saying is yerbamatelab has so many more tips, and just generally knows a lot more about yerba, there's the tips about 45 degree angle, using your bombilla to keep the gourd at a 45 degree angle, using 40-60 degree water from a temperature controlled kettle is so important cause it takes the bitterness out the leaves and leaves a smooth flavour even with the most bitter of yerba, these two tips and so many more this guy doesn't know about, nothing against you fella you've lived in Uruguay, but yerbamatelab is so much more informed, take a look at his UA-cam mate, you could learn so much more

    • @backcountryengineer6516
      @backcountryengineer6516 6 місяців тому

      Thanks for the feedback! I’ll admit that I didn’t know the trick of using the bombilla to keep the mate at a 45 degree angle during the initial yerba soak. A temperature controlled kettle would be nice, but my intention was to show how the Uruguayos drink mate on the go, with just a thermos and not fancy gadgets.

    Very good video. I know not all people have soldering irons or soldering skills, however, soldering of ring terminals/connections is preferred over crimping. Crimp connections tend to loosen over time in a mobile application (i.e. road vibration, cable flexing). It's also kind of nice if you need to remove the terminal, because it can be heated with the iron and removed without causing any damage to the cable or connector.
