Yeah people are quite Neanderthal at times lol.

@@okidoke4822 Yes I am. I do not understand Art. But what I have noticed , that the exact same woman can be absolutely stunning in one photo , and very ordinary in another. It's like those glamour shots some women have done. Unattractive women can come up really well with the right conditions.

@@mohammednovalija In my opinion art shouldn't need to be understood, for the most part. I think real art should instantly grab you and emote you in some way, and for some people it's easier for some types of art and some types of "modern art" is just utter bullshit and there are people who just pretend think they understand it just to be better that another person who can't grasp the concept. As for those women you mention, it's a photographer or painter's objective (often) to bring out the beauty, even if that beauty might be more than just physical. Sometimes you can see, even feel, certain traits in a person that make them beautiful; like their compassion, or kindness, or humbleness. And of course, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Probably.

The only reason I decided it was okay to upload this is because it was able to be age-restricted, so in theory kids wouldn’t see it. And let’s be realistic, it’s quite tame to what is more readily accessible. This was very early in my portrait work, so I was still learning, so I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, but also will point out that photography, well any art really, is totally subjective. I just wanted to share my work so I appreciate you watching. Thank you.

​@@okidoke4822 that's, good to see. It's one thing posting nude art on KZbin, another is allowing all ages to see. That's why there's a check box there. But I can see the argument going the other way. You know if you wanna show nude risque material to an audience, there are other outlets on these devices to achieve such. with some of these videos on the "kids KZbin" don't seem to actually be for kids, like those awful Minecraft highschool parodies. Could be worse. I really like the one picture in the cave, it's really tasteful and if nude yoga is fine I don't see anything wrong 9/10

@@UPROARIOUSDINGUS thanks. I guess there'll always be those elements of out society that want to cause problems, and too often good people suffer. We need to be seeing more people doing good things in this world because there are people doing good things. There's too much of the bad stuff out there, and sadly, humans too often are drawn to it for various reasons, and that includes sensationalist news networks. I appreciate you watching.

I usually hit the heavy bag for up to an hour. My cardio fitness is pretty good. I may breathe hard but I recover quick. Let me tell you a little secret; I actually have a rare heart condition where all my arteries extend from one half of my heart. The result is, when I’m working harder, the arteries push against each other and restrict the flow a little so oxygen doesn’t get around as good as it could. I’m okay, but just means I have to draw deeper breaths. And talking while being energetic is extra work on my lungs, but I make do. Thx for watching.

thx. i will check him out.

Kind of you to say Moh.

Yeah it is. Obviously different times of year will give you a different experience so I hope it’s good for you when you go. Feel free to watch my other camping videos and share with your camping buddies 👍

@@okidoke4822 liked and subscribed. Will definitely check out your other videos.

You’re a treasure

Seeing a physio today and will ask some questions about certain exercises. I think the heavy bag is okay, but I've not touched it since my shoulder started aching. Yeah, I also don't throw stones anymore. I used to be so good at it too lol, but now a 5yo girl could do better than me at that.

@@okidoke4822 Always a step ahead of me - most people are. Not sure about the little girl , but Tony Kechnick can - I miss him a little in your tapes ( yeah I know I got his name wrong )

@ lol I miss him in real life. He’s hard to pin down at times.

I appreciate your words man. Sometimes good things can just happen, but it's pretty rare, or maybe they're happening more often than we think and we're too ignorant to realise it. I don't know. I wish the universe wasn't so subtle. I don't want to keep guessing my way through life.

Cheers. Appreciate you watching

If we choose to see it, it’s always there 😘

Thanks for that mate. For some reason I've never thought to use my DLSR to take footage, so I might experiment with that as well in future. Especially for some close up shots of animals and birds. Also, it's you I have to thank for putting me onto CapCut. I've purchased the Pro version for the great audio enhancement ability. Thanks for watching.

Thank you! Cheers!

I had to cut the video from 4hrs of footage. I don’t like to make them too long, but what do you think I glossed over? I’m happy to expand further if I can?

@@okidoke4822 Glossed over the flat stones thing. Glossed over the structure supported by frames. Perhaps a little more reviewish type description of your furnishings. That 3 and a half hours of footage on the floor is another 7 half hour tapes. You know what you are doing , and why , and I do not really have a clue , but my cutting room floor is spotless. How about doing a pisspoor quick editing effort with some of that footage , and slapping it up and Titling it " The BORING Bits of my day at KARA KARA " See how the views compare to the Good tape. And see if the Subscriber count moves positive or negative. For ME , I'm going back for seconds , thats how much I enjoyed it - OR was it shit and I was confused.

@@mohammednovalija You took time and effort to respond, so I will do the same. Some people might say I talk a lot, others might say I “gloss over” things, but one thing I don’t do is discuss stuff I don’t know anything about, so I keep to what I know, or perhaps I might be able to find out later and make a notation. In this case I said all I could and there was nothing to add later. My “furnishings” are mostly old stuff and I only added that info this time in case someone was curious. There are enough reviews out there for products, so I didn’t want to do that myself. I found that power station through reviews, so no need for me to add my two cents worth. The omitted footage is literally me just prattling on about the mundane, which I do enough in the video already, so no need to bore viewers any more than I have to. As for subscribers, well, to be honest, I’m not really concerned whether people follow, like or subscribe to me or not. I just like making the videos and maybe being a little entertaining. Plus it’s an activity that helps me get through the day, and if it benefits anyone’s life, that’s a bonus. To me, talking to the camera is like talking to someone; it’s cathartic. Thanks for watching my “tape”.

One man's paradise is another man's place of torment, so it comes down to your own perspective I guess. But thanks for the compliment. There's a lot of blood, sweat toil in my yard. Never ends and looks completely different to when we moved in 24 years ago. I love all the animal life that frequents the gardens. It's nice to sit and enjoy at times.

I've been drinking tea with lemon and honey, and sucking on lozenges. I'll be right soon. I'm hoping to get away camping again this week :)

@@okidoke4822 Camping is not a cure for sick - good health to you though

i've had moments that were serene on a motorbike for sure.

No2 scheduled for tomorrow, and No3 the day after, so yeah. :)

No, I've never worked for Border Express sorry. Thanks for watching though. Glad you like it. :)

I think You may have seen him on Australias Most Wanted.

@@mohammednovalija cheeky sod.

@@okidoke4822 LOL

Oh I’ve done many accidental recordings too lol

I appreciate the offer mate, but it's not necessary. I've decided to bite the bullet and accept the terms because I really want to keep having access to the mapped rides and walks I do, BUT, I've gone into my phone settings and turned the location setting for SportsTracker to "on only when using app", so they can eat me lol. Thx for watching Mono.

they were doing some work on it when i was there, but the shower was great

I do some hiking on my camping videos. There’s little to be scared of. Just be aware and prepared.

can be for sure.

Hahaha yeah more practice needed. I should’ve been looking further ahead.

@@okidoke4822 Maybe watch the guys that do motorcycle Trials , but with a pushbike. They can balance without moving , climb up boulders , turn on a dime , just amazing. Balance may not assist with fitness , but sure as heck would help stop falls which often come with aging. I KNOW You would Hate to be in a wheelchair - Don't we all. But I did see you have incorporated some balancing in your workout. I suggest replacing a few rounds on the heavy bag with more balancing and stability. 40 minutes on the bag seems more than enough.

@@mohammednovalija give me a break mate, those guys/girls have been riding before they could walk. I’ve never tried those bike balancing skills before. As for the bag, it’s my cardio training and I usually incorporate abs exercises with it.

@@okidoke4822 I'm sorry - I wasn't implying you should be able to do those feats , was just alerting you to their existence. Best I stop trying to help someone who obviously knows what he is doing and has researched plenty. Especially when I am at the bottom of the hill , and even on the wrong path. It would be much more beneficial for me if I get within a mile of You before I think I know something useful.

@@mohammednovalija it's all good Mono. No stress. My previous reply was said with a smile.

True. Seemed like more design than necessary lol. What I didn’t show you is that there was a large gap in the fence a few metres to the left lol.

@@okidoke4822 LOL. Nice.

I’ve done lots of swimming but I find it quite boring to be honest. I also admire that body shape and making efforts to achieve that even at my age. I’m working out right now actually lol. I couldn’t are less if you were gay so stop mentioning it. I’m not either btw lol

@@okidoke4822 Am glad to hear you say your not Gay and thats the end of it. Am hoping you get out soon so I can watch your next adventure. Especially the serenity.

I don’t have any self help books to recommend sorry. I did read and for many years live by “How to win friends and influence people” by Dale Carnegie, but it doesn’t really work as well in today’s “woke” society, which I learned the hard way. Anyway, I just try to be the best person for myself. I’m no expert in relationships, as many can attest to, so all I can say there is just be how you want to be, and hopefully thru life you can make relationships with people who sync with you. Dismiss the fakes and phoneys, don’t try to live up to other people’s expectations or be something you’re not. Find pleasure in small things and don’t allow yourself to be stressed. I wouldn’t say my life is satisfying, but little things can satisfy me to the point I’m distracted from bad thoughts. You have the right to live on this earth like everyone else, so do whatever makes you happy, as long as it doesn’t negatively impact anything/anyone else. There are forums dedicated to such things that you can share your thoughts and experiences on fyi. You might click with someone there also. I somehow have become much less stressed, since I retired due to mental health issues, and where once I was aggravated and upset by any little thing that went wrong, I now often laugh it away and just reattempt what I was doing. I still can get upset and feel like the universe is punishing me, but I’ve gotten better at quelling my emotional reaction. I find punching a heavy bag good medicine lol. Good luck to you. Don’t give up - it just plays into the hands of those who wish you ill will.

@@okidoke4822 Thank You for reply - I will read it closely in the coming days. I saw some of your tapes early days and I thought "This bloke seems content with simple things" - " I wanna be him ". But I wanna be like him , but still be me , without the shit parts I have . But I understand that even you have shit parts , but are making an effort to get rid of them. Admiration from me , and may that you continue to overcome any distractions that may try to drag you from a good place. I am going out tomorrow and I will see if I can enjoy and share my enjoyment despite any obstacles.

Everybody has something to deal with, some just have more to deal with and/or more complex. It just comes down to how you manage to cope with it. It’s okay to admit that sometimes it gets the better of you. You’re only human. With regard to your gold searching, let the whole experience be the enjoyment and not just the moment you find gold. It’s like when I go camping. The camping starts the moment I start packing my stuff and not when I’m finally sitting in my chair by the fire having a drink.

Yeah it's not bad eh? Lots of room. Plenty of fish they reckon. Let me know if you ever plan it.

Thank you for saying that and watching. 👍

Glad you enjoyed it

Enjoying nature is no effort

@@okidoke4822 You make it sound and look so easy. I'm gonna practise a little in my backyard. Got any tips so I don't go inside and play on the Computer OR go in the garage and grab a hammer and start fixing stuff ? I notice you read books - would that work ? - deck chair and a book in the sun with a refreshing beverage ?

Not sure how I missed your comment, but let me answer. My abs are there and I have a strong core. If I didn’t then my back would be much worse off. As for my tummy, yes, there is a layer of visceral fat there. You need testosterone to break up that fat and as you get older you have less testosterone, but doing compound exercises helps get your larger muscles producing testosterone. That is the hardest and last place to loose fat because there isn’t a lot of blood vessels there and you really need to be very strict on your diet so you “cut up” your physique. I’m not worried about doing that. That bit of tummy fat is fine for me and I have a little on my back as well but little elsewhere. So yeah, it is definitely harder to lose tummy fat as you age, but you can still get a good strong core. Thx for watching. And good luck pushing me in the river. I’m quite nimble with good balance and a few years of scrapping behind me 😂

@@okidoke4822 Just shows how little I know and simply assume. Mental strength is 10 times more important than anything else. Quitting at the first obstacle is so much easier. I just can't convince myself I want it bad enough. What I mainly find admirable about You is You seem to almost enjoy doing the hard yards. No short cuts - even when you unwell still do something productive. Thank You for comprehensive answer. And if I ever see you on the river , I'll just save a second or two and just jump straight in.

@@mohammednovalija lol, you're alright man. Regarding "no short cuts", I guess you only cheat yourself in the end. I try to do things the best I can (doesn't mean it's the best way it can be done though) and I guess I'm pretty resilient, but having said that, at the moment I really struggling with some shoulder and wrist pain. I've tried nursing it a bit over the past few weeks, but I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and see someone about it. Dammit. Body pain affects your mental health too, or it does me anyway, so best to sort it out so you can get back to doing what you need to. Also, as far as wanting it bad enough, well, even though I might be struggling to foresee much of a future, I'm at least doing my best to avoid one where I'm relying on others to get me through the day. I'd rather die being active that decaying in a bed.

@@okidoke4822 Not advice , but shoulder pain can take some weeks to get better. Possible a slight over stretch can undo all the healing up to now. It's annoying not to know what caused the injury , and even not knowing exactly what the injury is. I do wish You good fortune in discovering someone that can assist with easing your painful areas.

@ thx I’ve had bad shoulders before but they still puzzle me. I thought I was being careful.

Okay, well, actually my Abs are pretty good, but I do have a little layer of fat across them, but I’m not worried about that. I’m not interested in getting “cut” and that does take some extra work and certain eating that I’m not interested in. My main reason for ab work was to help my back condition, which it has alleviated greatly, so I’m glad about that. I’m pretty happy with my fitness and physical health. The main thing, especially at my age, is to be consistently active and no let yourself go to ruin. I could barely do a sit-up when I started, but now I can do many reps of various ab exercises. Having a good strong core is essential. You can do it too. Start small and build up.

@@okidoke4822 when I was 48 I blew out to 76 kilos and in 12 months of calorie counting I dropped to 56 kilos. And without any abwork , I sort of started to have a 6 pack. Maybe your diet needs just a minor tweak and you would look as good as you feel. But then again , this tape is at 40 days and your abs are great these days. My goal is to be able to do 20 pushups , but at the moment I am nowhere near committed. Life keeps throwing obstacles at me. PLUS I'm LAZY.

@@mohammednovalija I’m 5’7” and blew out to 85kgs. When I counted calories and was very strict on my food intake and crazy with exercise, I got down to 66kgs, but when I settled to a reasonable diet and a steadier workout regimen, I’ve leveled out to a steady 73kgs for many months now. I find that most comfortable. I still have mental health challenges but I’m happy with my physique and fitness level. I try not to play to my vanity or ego, just trying to get by one day at a time. Fitness is a distraction I use, which then benefits my other distractions. I don’t stress too much about my diet, but I don’t abuse it really. I feel lazy at times, and that’s where it’s the most challenging, but I force myself. It’s too easy to do nothing and let yourself down. And I know ALL about obstacles my friend.

lol, yep, ya gotta keep on your toes

@@okidoke4822 I cannot do a single pushup on my toes , but I can do 20 on my knees ( just ) I seen you did pushups with a band across your back. What do you think of knee pushups with a backpack with a brick or 2 in it to get me closer to say 10. I did struggle to do 2 full pushups recently but that is too rare to start full pushups

Appreciate that. Thanks for watching.

How people get here doesn’t matter. You’re here now 😁

@@okidoke4822 Mono gave you a shoutout on his most recent video and a link to your channel. But anyway, glad to be here buddy! Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺

Oh right, I’ve just realised who that is. I’ll go look. Cheers mate.

I would expect that to be the case. Thanks for watching.

Yeah I dunno man. Personally I originally was calling it "Langy Gearin" before I saw the info on it. Thanks again for watching.

I'm only going by what it says on the sign as the pronunciation being "lar-ne-jeering". Sometimes locals don't always say things right either ;) Actually, those girls I came across are locals also, and they pronounced it like I did without me even prompting them. I'm no expert of course, just going by what it indicates. I appreciate you watching. :)

You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

You're very welcome. Feel free to share it.

Some days I wish I still had my Speedy 🙂

Thanks for saying that. New video coming out today. Appreciate you watching. Cheers.

Nice one!

Cheers. Glad you enjoyed my video and the place :)

thanks for watching. i've got another one in the making at the moment :)

Lucky you :)
