    Don't buy a new water tank! You can clean it with Camden Tablets. They use them in wine making to clean the equipment. 😊

    Hi, your enthusiasm and enjoyment of the places you visit is contagious. So glad you are having such a great time in Slovakia, it is stunning and your video shows you and the country with seamless skill. Well done Tom. Glad you are managing to fit your swimming and paddle boarding into your day. Cheers Cate xx

    as a Slovak, I recommend you to visit the Muránská plain with the Zbojská farmstead near Brezno. You can taste typical Slovak specialties, make a small circuit through the gorge, go to the Čiernohronská railway (very impressive) 🙋‍♂️🇸🇰✊

    I am pretty sure that wasn't the top of the route. It was half of it. You can go to the very top that is barren with a few lakes. Whole route is intermediate. Part you did was easy one. Looks like you reached only the wooden cabin. Maybe it was that closed one that reaches the top.

    Sorry to sound like the safety police … but.
    Love your videos and watch them all with envy. I noticed that in this video that you were far from shore with your SUP board but no buoyancy aid. That’s fine if you use the board in its place but you might think about tethering yourself with the ankle strap just to be on the safe side. Apologies for sounding like a busy body, just a genuine concern for your safety. Keep living the best adventure and thanks for taking us on your journey

    Hi from Australia.
    Give your tank a good clean as others have suggested. You need to use chlorinated water to keep it clean. Because you use bottled water it is missing out on the cleaning chemicals.
    Safe travels. 🧡

    Not trying to be crude, but it is THE most important subject.....so I take it the porta potty use is an absolute last resort and you never walk past a public/supermarket convenience or a secluded wooded area (armed with spade of course)? Aside from that I'd be worried about that wee thing coping with my production capacity.

    • @LostInTransit
      @LostInTransit  2 роки тому +3

      I would not say ABSOLUTE last resort, we use it a lot more now than we used to. We do use public toilets where possible and do occasionally do wild poos (most wees are wild unless urban and spade in hand of course) BUT having seen how many spots are just becoming toilets we actually dont feel comfortable contributing to that so use the toilet more often. It probably needs emptying every three days or so for both capacity and smell reasons (this has only really become an issue in the heat)

      I actually had never really thought about it, but i think i would like to become more of a "cash person" from now on. We do converse with locals occasionally (more so in countries with more english speaking locals) but we are also usually pretty cautious with the camera and normally put it way if we do.
