      I agree. I missed out on something: I grew up in an environment in which status symbols played a big role - fixing up and using used stuff was seen as a sign of underachievement, let’s say. How wrong, and what a shame. These days, I look for used items before I buy anything new (with exceptions, obviously): furniture, tools, gardening equipment, lamps, things like that. Nothing like finding a bench vice for 30 Euros that runs buttery smooth and would cost 800 to replace with a new one of the same model. I wish someone would have instilled that culture into me a little bit earlier.

      As a sound engineer and as a kiwi in Oz I endorse this comment and say those drone shots with the birdsong replacing the drone audio are just the best and are one of the many awesome things in Marty's videos. Just goes to prove that one doesn't need a $5000 microphone made in Berlin to capture a sound that can move someone.
