I’m uploading it again using a different title to see if it won’t generate more views.
The original title was tongue-in-cheek and meant to be fun (Spectacular! Sexiest Woodsman Ever Born!) but it seems to me that YouTube throttles anything dealing with “sexy” or “romance” or similar things. Very strange.
Anyway, the new upload is a test of sorts on my part to see if by renaming it and uploading it fresh, YouTube will distribute it fairly. If you see it and think “Wait a second, he already uploaded this show and I’ve already seen it…” you’ll now know why. I’ll be leaving both uploads available and following their success in an effort to better understand the YouTube algorithm.
I hope you all are having a good time with the remaining hours of our weekend!

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 ...
