    This channel brings such peace and calmness. All those beautiful views of nature in pairs with really good narration brings amazing feelings. Marvelous jewel in endless youtube mess ;)
    ps. I feel sorry for people living in big cities, participating in rat race, always in hurry and trying to chase their happiness by purchasing everything with hard earned money and by showing in social networks how successful and good they are.

    "The matured fruit of the wild rose..." - nice prose for rosehips. Yes, they make great tea but even better jam. For the kids: dry the seeds and shove them under that class bullies shirt - makes for a real itchy day - LOL. I had to collect tons of those as a kid to make jam for the winter., but then back in the day they grew plentiful in the hedges between fields (yes, the hedges long since gone due to industrialized agriculture).
    As usual an excellent video.

    I have the same blue speckled pot & think I'm noticing you wearing a new jacket. I've never thought to add Avacado to noodle soup, will have to try it. I often add chopped up baby spinach to chicken noodle soup.
    I would have used a rope & a trucker's hitch in lieu of those tie-down straps. You do know how to tie a trucker's hitch, don't you?
    Each time I see you towing your ALiner I think of that Dexter 3,500# torsion bar axle I remember you having installed as a replacement axle.
    The starry night sky is crystal clear & part of what makes your videos so enjoyable.

I see you didn't have your trusty bear spray canister with you. We like to pack a variety of freeze dry hiker meals for those rainy and miserable days. Really like that directional antenna arrangement, but given we have space limitations as well, we might opt for the flat antenna - make it easier to pack. Stay safe
