    Within nature, it isn't just men and women who are susceptible to the conditions as life and death are very much an active part of the entire process which makes this world possible.
    In this adventure, I stumbled upon an animal which was hurt and dying and I did my best to care for it until it passed away; it was an intense adventure for many reasons.
    Additionally, the brutality of nature is presented with a series of high elevation storms with some VERY close lightning strikes.

    Love the video. Regarding the baby bird, I once had an adolescent raven land on my head when I was watering my garden. Wasn't sure if it was male or female but I thought it was a him. I had seen the little guy watching me so when he landed, I wasn't too freaked out because I immediately knew it was him. He had flown by close by my head a couple times. I moved him on to my shoulder and he just sat there looking at me. Anyway, I could tell he was hungry but couldn't find any worms or crickets, so ended up getting some lunch meat, sliced turkey I think. He gobbled it up, seemed to like it. He then flew off, but I was always worried if I had done the right thing, you know, did the meat make him sick. In the end I just had to hope I helped him out and maybe that little meal got him through until he caught his own food. Your story reminded me of that day. Also I think you did the right thing.

    What you did with the birds was very humane, Luke. Nature has its way of "disposing" death but there is no wrong in our intervention. Wow, that tent strongly resembles a Chinese tent I picked up several years ago in my travels. I bought it due to the chosen venue of my travel buddies, ie. no trees. Anyway, it cost me the equivalent of $90 and it is really an awesome tent. One man tent with vestibules and doors bilaterally. During a storm I placed my gear in one vestibule and cooked in the other. The other guys had to take turns cooking in a single vestibule of a Marmot tent. I bought a cheap Coleman tent to add to my car camping gear. For $59 it is palatial and accommodates a Coleman cot with plenty of spare room. It rained part of the night (love the sound of rain on a tent) and stayed dry...not a single drop of water in the tent interior. I had an Aqua Quest tarp at the ready just in case. Your "top of the mountain"adventure was cool! I really enjoy the spontaneity of your adventures. U da man, Luke!

    I would have done the same thing.
    I have not seen a situation where you have done the wrong thing in the massive amounts of videos I have seen of yours.
    Your views are on point, your instincts are on point, and your heart is in the right place.
    Anyone can tell you are a good man, and have ethics and morals.
    There will always be someone not putting themselves out there as you do that will have something negative to say, but believe me when I say there aren't many left out there like us.
    You keep doing what you do, a lot of us appreciate you and think a lot of you, your family and the work you put into sharing your life with us.

    don't worry about the birdies..you showed compassion and empathy as we all should do. And no you didn't upset the balance in nature contrary to what some "Huggers" may think

    For the spiderwebs, carry a thin stick and sweep the trail ahead of you as you walk. In the Phillipines we held our rifles upright in front of us and that would get all the banana spiders who like to spin their webs across trails because it's an open area where insects and large beatles like to fly through the jungle. It's also handy for beating snakes out of the way when you come across them.
    For ticks, you should be wearing pants, and probably also some gaiters. This kept vermin off our legs, including leeches, scorpions, and jungle ants.
    Hot humid atmospheric conditions are more comfortable to hump in, you stay soaked and your sweat has a chance to run down your skin carrying away heat. Stop once in a while and your body heat will evaporate this, it may not seem like it but there is airflow, you just have to get used to it. Dry heat evaporates the sweat too quickly and you don't know you're in trouble until you get heat stroke. Just be sure you drink plenty of water to replenish fluids, and supplement it now and then with salts to replace electrolytes and prevent cramping muscles.
    The shoes you wear are terrible, it's no better than wearing running shoes, too much flex and not enough support, they'll give you blisters and raw spots when you're humping 25 miles a day or more, plus not enough traction. I recommend some good lace-up military boots that reach at least three quarters of the way up your calf, with vents in the instep and a stiff, roomy toe box. Applying moleskin on the back of the ankle, rear edge of the heel, across the top of the toe joints and on the outside of the foot edge before humping will prevent blisters until your feet get used to it. And always keep your feet dry by changing socks frequently, which should reach up to just below your knee joint.
    Shorts may be cool, but they're crappy for the bush. The British learned this the hard way in World War Two in places like Burma and Sumatra.
