Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The higher def is nice, but I'm not here for BBC Planet Earth footage. Just good stories. Been we're you've been. Hang in there, you're a good son. If he could understand what you were doing, I know your Dad would be really proud of you.
After a moment of disorientation, Claus realized he could retrace his footsteps in the snow back to the cabin. His years of survival training paid off as he sat by the fire drinking his fifth mug of coffee.
Claus, I’ve been watching you since I was in high school and grew up with your WOT videos, and I just discovered this sub-channel a month ago. Needless to say I spent the last month binging all the IRL videos you’ve put out and it’s been a great ride getting caught up. It’s oddly comforting seeing someone I grew up watching their video game content and now living real life and exploring nature and getting to watch that as an adult. You’ve inspired me to buy an inflatable kayak and helped to keep me entertained and sane. Keep doing your thing and being you, cause you’re one of a kind 💪 looking forward to all the new uploads!
Having dealt with three elderly parents with dementia I can relate to this. And, I am really sad, because it is so trying and so frustrating and so heartbreaking at the same time. Good luck my friend.
I love your stories, 4k looks crips as fudge! Greetings and Guten Rutsch ("good transition (to the new year)") from rainy, non-snowy 😣 Northrine-Westfalia, Germany.
You're dad and I are kindred spirits when it comes to technology. We believe in the philosophy of al baliff: " the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete or bothersome and saying: 'Now, it's complete because it's ended here.''
Looks sharp Claus. I watch ya on my 34in 4K monitor at my computer. It is like I am there, Happy New years! Love your parents stories they always make me laugh.
I love the 4K and audio. I didn't notice the difference when the video first started, but didn't think to check the quality on UA-cam until you said it. You could be using a 2400 baud modem and I'd still watch your content! Keep up the awesome work!!!
Sorry to hear of your dad’s dementia. We care for my mom at home for 15 years. Brutal. Keep a stiff upper lip. Yes the video is crystal clear! Happy New Year!
Hi Claus, love the 4K mate and I do watch it on my big TV as well as iPad. So good clear and sound is great mate! Also I have parents getting older so the how you care for yours is great to see and your humour is so good! Love having a coffee in the morning and watching both your channels:) happy new year mate!
Alexander Graham Bell liked to say: Ahoy Ahoy! When I see friends calling from Quebec, to test my French Language skills, I answer: “Honi soit qui mal y pense”, I do think this can be said as a rhetorical question…
Hope you & yours have a Happy New Year! I think most of us are like your dad as we get older,seems like a cool dude. I thought your channel was high quality allready,so 4k is just a bonus. ❤ ya claus
Hey Claus - Good show, and yes, the 4K makes a difference. While I don't watch UA-cam on TV, my PC monitor is 32-inch 4K, so the higher resolution content is appreciated. Glad to see you were able to obtain the new gear, although it appears one item is missing - a personal GPS unit, haha. But maybe this will help ["heart+$"]!
The tragedy of our time Claus unfortunately, my Dad, being a very fit man before his affliction, is now reduced to living in his own shell for want of a better description, virtually unaware of the parallel world he used to be a part of.
Looking great in 4K Claus! Is it that much better than previously? I played this and your last video side by side and 4K is better, nice and crisp, but not that the old format was bad.
Claus, I relate so much when you tell us about your parents. My dad gets grumpier every year, but get this. My mom who is 80 now was gifted a frigging Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy this year. She is now 80 pounds of dog and is probably gonna gain another 5-10 kg before all is said and done. What could go wrong, here? lol😂😂. Maybe we start a UA-cam channel to document some of this shit show. Hope everyone is having a happy holiday season
@@clauskellermanpov3004 My brother and sister and her husband live in the same neighborhood so it’s not such a big problem. But yeah. Staying happy and well clear of the extremes. You always have good advice, and I appreciate you for it, buddy. Gg, Claus
Yes, Claus in 4K! Now I can see every hair in Claus's beard in perfect high quality! Congratulations, hopefully you'll soon also be able to record world of tanks replays in 4K. P.S. Did you get a DJI camera for this recording?
Anyway, I always watch in 720p or 1080p (when is full screen) more important thing than resolution is how many colors can camera catch (it is mostly about greens or blue color, if I remember well). Remember that some cameras cheating, so you will get from that type of the camera some ,,, "screaming" shades meaning not realistic presentation of the colors.
Prayers for you and your family. I know it can be hard sometimes. You do a great job of entertaining us and making us laugh! I hope you have a great New Year!
You still look the same in 4k...hold on let me get my glasses... Yep! You still sound the same with mega, quadrophonic surround doodah...hold on let me get my hearing aids.... Yep! Good job Claus and have a fantastic day. ❤
Altho the story of your parents is kinda sad i stil laught about it. Hope they are doing okay. Regarding your video quality: the sound is very crisp and goid. The image is even better, whe now can count your grey hairs and see what you had for diner befor recording, whahaha. 😂😂 Whe live you too Claus. 😁
Claus, if your last video (testing the car in snowy conditions) wasnt in 4k and this is in 4K, I'm afraid the former looked better, at least on my PC screen.
@@clauskellermanpov3004 I live a 1080 perspective and haven't had a TV in 25 years+, so no expert. I have had some friends grumble, that 4k makes life look dull.
@@clauskellermanpov3004 Well there is a crunchy staticky kinda sound in the background : ) Did Alberta outlaw Shag Wall to Wall Carpeting Donkey Years ago? Perhaps a double layer of Army & Navy Socks is needed and Felt insoles. Dunno. Call Tim Apple for help?
Claus, Claus. the next time your call your dad tell him after your intro your trapped "in the phone" dont un plug me or throw me against the wall. dam #*&@ technology!
4k didn`t make any difference on my 1080p laptop screen and we need a TV watcher for this survey but they seem to be going extinct like dinosaurs these days 😆
Claus not trying to scare you but maybe your dad needs someone who can check on him couple times a day till your mom comes home.My dad had dementia last 8yrs his life an couldnt be left alone.My half brother had Lewes dementia after a diagnosis of parkensons disease till he passed in 2023.Now both were in us army long ago but somethings are common,keep a carefull watch what you laugh at today may not be funny tomorrow.I really like you man have a happy new year
Claus, Let me this once, give you some advice... Do everything you can, to get educated about "dementia." It's no joke, it never goes away, or gets better with time... I'm not trying to scare you bud, but dementia can be scary, even dangerous! Just learn all you can about it and prepare yourself my friend... I watched my mother slowly disappear from dementia.
Sounds like your parents are in need of a retirement home. Mine hated the transition, complained every day to us kids, for the 1st month.... Now, they LOVE that all tasks mundane, or formally stressful, are done for them, as they are treated like guests at an event filled resort. In Toronto about 8k month for a top rated building.
My 100 year grandma i took care alone for 15 years always rushed me to turn off small light on tv ...moment when u unadict from technology and become human dud did u know remote controls didnt had bateries in 50s no lights .. iv noticed. Man aka son is beter to be used doughters have no time ..and son wont let mom starve and she knows that.. klaus try to make week menu..on a 4 .what they get each day. .i need to do much more now for my mom now. No time for wot
@@clauskellermanpov3004Do you think the world with all its problems is ready for close ups! Thanks for all your vids hope you and all your family have a great 2025
I like your videos but I won’t send money and I don’t think your car is the best. Wait… I don’t know why I watch Wait… oh yea .. your parents are like my mom. She is 96 and I understand your situation fully
Have an amazing holiday everyone! Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

After a moment of disorientation, Claus realized he could retrace his footsteps in the snow back to the cabin. His years of survival training paid off as he sat by the fire drinking his fifth mug of coffee.
That's close to what actually happened.
With the combination of the high quality and excessive spinning, I was able to see Bigfoot 4 times.
nice!
Believe in yourself even when no one else does----Sasquatch
@@trikylan4385😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks! Maybe this will help for a personal GPS unit - so the bears don't get your lost butt.
Thanks so much for the support! Happy New Year to you as well!
Just remember this old saying Claus, " The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions. " I assure you this is true having experienced it myself.
You are absolutely right!

Excellent Claus!

yup. I will be there next!
It would be fantastic if you could also record with HDR enabled, all that scenery would be even more amazing.
will look into it
Have a look at the Mr Hewes channel (he of the FV 4005 restoration), HDR looks amazing on his vids.
Claus, looking sharp, sounding good! How's that for a 4k review?
Wonderful!
I clicked on the video because of the thumb nail. Was curious and had to know why the body outline or maybe a snow angel? 4k Looks good. Sounds good.
Much sharper visuals :)
Great!
Like the late 80s hair man suits you well

Good job to you!
I almost feel I'm willing your Dad on to get downstairs and get their dinner!
lol
Claus! The video quality is fantastic! Wonderful!
Now, go find a pretty girl to video, cause "Dang!"
U move from Alberta to BC ?
That’s a good observation. You are paying attention!
HQ, looks and sound good Claus ! Give your mom a new phone, and might be an idea to have each day a helping hand at your parents.................
new phone is a good idea
I’m shocked at the extra definition was that a yeti in the background?
shocking I know
On my tablet the difference is minimal. On my phone is more gooder. But the tablet is a cheapie from Walmart, so I got what I paid for.
Chinese tablet!

Do everything you can, to get educated about "dementia."

Just learn all you can about it and prepare yourself my friend...

Sounds like your parents are in need of a retirement home. Mine hated the transition, complained every day to us kids, for the 1st month....
Now, they LOVE that all tasks mundane, or formally stressful, are done for them, as they are treated like guests at an event filled resort.
