Your reaction to that first bite said it all. I'm 72 years old. I lost my wife of 42 years three years ago. I'm alone now. No one of any real consequence to answer to. I've survived six heart attacks and cancer. I have severe spinal stenosis. Not worth much these days but I'll not just lie down and die. I love the woods. When the depression gets so bad that my thoughts turn dark I head to the woods. If the pain is so bad that I can't go to the woods I just pitch my tarp in my front yard and do my gear testing there. After all I want to be sure it works before I get it to the woods. Good to see something other than a young guy running around in the bush. The neighbors are used to seeing "that wierd old Cherokee" camping in his yard and the cool things i can do with a tarp or tin cans etc. The kids love it. I even have a mini me. No relation but his grandfathers are gone and he adopted me. When i do get to doing my frog impression (croak) some of the knowledge will live on in him and those that he will teach some day.

I like all your videos, making stuff, doing ‘bushcraft’, travelling about - and the motorcycling! All good as far as I’m concerned, and always gets a thumbs up. Thank you. Les

Ah… but you ARE brilliant, Mr O 😊 Please say “Hi” to Larry the Lobster when you see him next - and by the way; we were so happy to see you on the mountain but we’re quite sad that you wouldn’t let us have a photo with you 😢 😂😂😂

Thanks for bringing us along! The rainbow shots were truly amazing and the wind looked like it was making the climb and descending dicey at best. Cheers and safe travels

Another great video Richard, I really enjoy your travel videos along with your bushcraft ones.

Bushcraft or travel videos they are all a chilled out and entertaining watch 👍

Variety is the spice of life Richard. Your job gives you unique opportunities to widen the horizons of the regular trekking and bushcraft videos genre. More of the same please

Amazing! Thanks for taking us along.

Enjoyed the video Richard. No way you would get me on one of those ladders!

Love to see some of the places in the world that I will never get to.

Caught this last night, enjoyed it very much. Keep up the good work!

Hey, Richard. Great to see you in my neck of the woods. Lion's Head is always special, although you really did choose a particularly windy day - and that's saying something for Cape Town! If you'd like to explore some lesser known, spectacular Table Mountain routes next time you visit, give me a shout.

Been up Table Mountain many times over the decades, but never the Lion's Head! Rather you than me with chicken livers, calf or lamb for me, please!

What an amazing shot of you climbing down the ladder. Can't imagine how you got that in that wind. I certainly appreciate the places you go to as I'd never be able to afford to go myself. Keep them up.

Excellent, I like the travel vids.

Tut tut tut Richard, the selfie is the modern equivalent of autograph hunting. It takes so very little to simply stand beside someone for a few seconds and make their day. Those people are subscriber's remember and they and other's can drop you like a hot stone at any moment. Regards from Dublin and have a change of heart.
