Let me briefly explain why the Rumble videos appear in a delay compared to YouTube and the podcast platforms:
I always try to upload everything I possibly can in the highest quality image format that I can. This can be a pain in the hootchie cootchie, because increased video quality formats means increased video upload times. Still, for long-term posterity, I believe it is the only way to do things.
However, Rumble is in its fledgling stages. It offers the very best of the internet because it is committed to not censoring content. I want to support Rumble and I hope you will support Rumble - in fact, I long for the day when YouTube goes out of business and people will first think of Rumble than any other video platform when they get the idea to search for something. I want to support free speech to the best of my ability and contribute to that movement in every way possible.
But the reality is that we ain’t there...

I found this video interesting as it relates to conversations we have about the true nature of things, what is really important and what is not, and how little importance some things have depending on the needs of the moment.
For example, this guy and his fellow soldiers, while being shot at would just dump their blankets - the blankets were totally unimportant to the immediate goal of staying alive. This meant later suffering, but at least they were alive.
I think about this sort of thing all the time when seeing guys building elaborate, beautiful shelters in the woods. When you’re hungry and lost, or simply traveling through the wilderness, nobody is going to care about building an elaborate shelter. You’re only going to care about conserving energy and using energy for only things that are absolutely necessary in any given moment.
This means sleeping under a rock outcrop, or a fallen tree, or just trying to get through the night under your sweater and some leaves you scrounge ...
