    IDK if you know... You're a funny SOB. I laugh my ass off at these videos. Don't stop making this shit. Nobody else is doing what you're doing. Respect brother.

    Every time I hear you use colorful language I relax. It comforts me with memories of my cuddly cooking grandpa! He was highly intelligent and had a sharp command of language - always finished those impossible crossword puzzles! And when he loosened up - 🌈 rainbows jumped from his curled lips! Oh, the beauty of true self expression! You warm my heart! 😄 You feel like home - I can go to sleep hearing you happily cuss. You're a great guy just like my big poppa - don't change a thing! 💕

    This makes me feel nice. Saturday morning, I don't work today, breakfast is cooking, coffee and this video. If I limit my consciousness to these few things, the world will seem to be alright for a short time.

    Gosh that fern at the 5:49 mark is gorgeous! I am a gall nerd too! Love your vids. Please be careful out there...no help available should you need it. I have gotten heat stroke before. If you start feeling light headed, exhausted, and nauseous, you are in trouble! Water and salty snacks help in this weather but once you reach a certain point, it’s important to find shade, cold water immersion, air conditioning - or the ER. It worries me that you are way out there far from help and shade.

    Loved that view from the top of the mountain! Reminds me of when we climbed Ship mountain in Northern California in August. EVERYTHING was in bloom at the time, maybe you can take a trip to that region too sometime. ;) And the Lichen, wow, seen some a bit like them in Michigan but much more of a flat mounding habit. And that Agathis, so weird, yet amazing. Think I may get a podocarp houseplant for next year's Plant Taxonomy. The phrase "tropical conifer" will blow a lot of minds. :)

    I like how mangroves make a seed, the seed sprouts while it's still on the tree and then the tree drops seedlings. Then the little bastards float root downwards, drift onto a beach and make a new Mangrove... grove.

    Nothing like learning
    And your videography is coming along awesomely well
    You do sound a tad extremely winded
    50 lb of what water and food for such a desolate dry place
    If I was there I can definitely help you with that couple years back I had 75+ pounds backpacking items on my back for a bikepacking trip which consisted of over 115 mil. One way for 5 hours on the way home however
    The last 30 miles I blew out my right knee which left me in some quite a bit of pain had to call in for backup to get my dumbass home 😠 if I would have had less weight no big deal I would have made it all the way home
    That would have been 230 miles in less than 2 days

    I was out walking today too, but around the richie-rich hipster neighbourhood nearby to search for hand sanitizer. The whole area is recently built up on old waterfront/port property and of course they're trying for some kind of hipster brick warehouse look in a lot of the buildings but the whole neighbourhood is built for cars. Anyway, I got back home and thought to myself I need something soothing and nutritious to watch let's go watch Joey's latest video. And here you are dying on the side of some mountain. But at least there are cool plants. I like the cladonia repitora, they're very weird looking. Going to watch the rest of the video now and not think about stupid life bullshit.
