@@GreggLeone-df3lc thanks!

@@AnantJoshi-x9x I'm afraid I don't know much about the restaurants, but there's only one airport on the island of Vagar.

You're welcome! Yes, it is possible to convert a sprinkler head to a faucet, but there are a few important things to consider. If you're thinking about using the sprinkler system’s water, you’ll only get flow when the system is running because the sprinkler system operates through a series of valves that only open during a watering cycle. When the system is off, those valves stay closed, so no water flows to the sprinkler heads. To have a faucet that functions independently of the sprinkler schedule, you would need to tap into the main irrigation line. Your sprinkler system is designed with a main water supply line that feeds all the individual zones (or sections) of your yard. Each zone is controlled by its own valve, which opens and closes to regulate the water flow to that specific area. That's why in my video I installed the faucet to the end of the main sprinkler line and not to one of the zone lines that goes through a valve. The water is always "on" in the main line even when my sprinkler zone valves are closed. For the water to be off to the house but still on to the garden, you'd need to make sure the house shutoff valve comes after the garden shutoff valve. In order of water flow it would need to be: Main Source (city or well) > garden shutoff valve > house shutoff valve. Otherwise if you shut off water to the house, it will also shut off water to everything else that comes later down the line. I'm not sure this is advisable, and I bet most of the time the house shutoff comes first. If you're unsure about how to locate the main line or how to safely tap into it, it might be helpful to consult a professional plumber or irrigation specialist. They'll be able to ensure the job is done correctly and safely. Good luck!

@@sterlingarcher1775 thank you for your service 🙏 🇺🇸

Thank you for commenting and raising awareness! Yes, they do have their annual grindadráp during which they primarily harvest/slaughter pilot whales, but many dolphins are often included as well. The event has been deeply embedded in Faroese culture for over 1,000 years and in the last 50 years or so it has drawn heavy criticism. It used to be an essential way of feeding the population, but with modern shipping & transport that no longer seems like enough justification to many. I think it's an unfair caricature to say that the Faroese "must have no regard for their wildlife." On the contrary, they have a very high regard for it in general, as evidenced by their adamant protection of sheep, birds, and sea life, including sharp self-criticism of their own people in years when the grindadráp kills too many whales. As for the mindset, it strikes me as that of a hunting culture. Of course some people oppose hunting as categorically unethical, but that seems a bit imperialistic to me. As long as hunting is as sustainable and humane as possible, it's not necessarily an ethical trespass. Not that I'm defending grindadráp per se. I lack the expertise to take a firm stand one way or the other. I just want to make room for a more nuanced discussion. Articles like this one (tabledebates.org/blog/parsing-grindadrap) do a good job attending to finer details of the debate. Cheers

@@DonnaHudson-m5u Absolutely! Thanks for your service, too!

@@matteositadea97 I used this website: www.tideschart.com/Faroe-Islands/Streymoy/

@@SwanTheQueen Hmmm, that doesn't seem quite right. I checked their website just now and it was $321 per night. That should get you 4 days (3 nights) for under $1,000. It was a bit cheaper when I stayed there, about $250/night.

@@DaveDackyou are correct! I do apologize I have been booking for different trips and for some reason my device change the currency without noticing I thought it was usd and gasped lol 😅 sorry! One more question, is relative near to a place with a restaurant? Without any intent to offend, I am not super fan of the local cuisine 😅 I know there is a grocery shop near but what about places to have dinner for instance? I just don’t want to eat whale or fermented shark 😅

@@SwanTheQueen no problem! I'm actually not sure about local dining options since I only bought groceries and ate food I brought myself (it was primarily a hiking & photography trip). But I bet there are some good options in the nearby town, which really is very close.

@@paultiplea between Silver Lake and Grant Lake, just down from the parking lot at the Aerie Crag picnic area. I didn't catch anything, but it was beautiful 🙂

@@DaveDack Thank you!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@Cristina-nq2oc Believe it or not, I didn't do any dining on that trip! I brought my own simple meals and bought a few groceries, but otherwise I spent all my time outdoors photographing, etc. But the location is only like 3 minutes from the nearest city and I'm sure there are some good options. If you stay here, the owner will happily recommend good dining options 🙂

@@DaveDack thanks so much for the feedback! I really enjoyed your videos!

Hey there! Thanks for commenting. All this information was correct at the time of posting, and still is as far as I can tell. At Drangarnir, drones are allowed seasonally. During nesting season the guides don't allow them, but I was there in September and my guide allowed and encouraged drone flight, as did other guides who were there at the same time as my group. As of 2022 it was not a "No Drone Zone." It's true that some locals hate the drones. I'm sure part of that is the fact that tourists often break the laws and fly their drones too close to residential areas (I saw that a lot). I like to err on the side of courtesy, and I will land my drone if asked by a local. Trælanípan is a little unclear. It's barely more than 5km away from the airport TERMINAL, but it's UNDER 5km from the tarmac. I couldn't find any clear information on where exactly the 5km should be measured from, but when I asked the locals they told me drones were not allowed there. The map on this website concurs (visitvagar.fo/en/plan-your-stay3/practical-information/drones0), and measures the radius in a way that INCLUDES Trælanípan within the 5km and therefore prohibits drones. Of course, all visitors should check current laws before flying drones and be respectful!

@@DaveDack well it IS considered a no drone zone as of 2024 (having been there only last week) and you are asked very specifically and quite invasively when you go on the Drangarnir boat whether you have one, and are requested specifically not to use it. The tour organisers frown upon them and they are incredibly unpopular. I didn’t even tell them I had one and complied with their request not to use it, as they were clearly very apprehensive about them, so while it may not be illegal to fly there, I would very much advise against it. It is a specific request of the tour operators and land owners. At the Traelanipa on the other hand, where I didn’t fly either, as I don’t think it added anything to the experience compared with taking videos from my phone at the top of the Traelanipa, there were several people flying drones and no anti-drone signs, and the landowners didn’t seem to be too concerned. With respect to the Mulafossar waterfall, I was following all the rules, there was only one other person there a couple of hundred metres away below the second lookout, and I had just landed before a local attempted to snatch my drone out of my hand and break it… she gave me the big finger and her opinion was that all drones should be banned. I just apologised and suggested she raise it with her government. The Faroese government have also just introduced new drone laws this year which are extremely vague, over complicated, wishy washy, up to 50 pages of legislation that is only available in Faroese, and are essentially geared around making you liable if anyone has any minor complaints. If you are not a local Faroese person and have a drone over 250g when including a battery, you can’t officially license it, and unless you are europe based it’s almost impossible to legally insure there, so while the Danish transportation authorities currently advise that you can use it there, it is very much at your own risk/hazard, with minimal protection if something goes wrong… and I can almost certainly guarantee that if there’s a problem, there will be a pile on, as they are frustrated enough with having tourists there that they don’t want as it is! We specifically carried around our correspondence from the Danish authorities telling us that it was permitted, in case we ran into any difficulties with local police. In my humble opinion, it’s not worth taking a drone to the Faroe Islands. The locals are so furiously and adamantly against them, and it is one of the most drone unfriendly tourist destinations, it’s not worth it, compared to Iceland and Greenland where they are very much more relaxed and they actually encourage you to use it on many of the icefjord cruises around Ilulissat and many of the boat captains are also young drone enthusiasts also.

Hey, sorry I'm just seeing this! Thanks for the comment! The Faroe Islands have public transportation, so you don't have to have a car, but your options will be limited to the schedule of the ferries and shuttles. I would recommend at least a week if possible. Safe travels!

Hi! Thanks for commenting :) The short answer is "yes, mostly." For non-commercial use (like this video), the DoD footage can be used freely, with the caveat that "postings by the DoD do not waive any publicity or privacy rights of any individuals portrayed." For full copyright details you can go here: www.dvidshub.net/about/copyright Some of the video was from a stock website to which I subscribe and have rights to use, and a few clips were directly given to me by one of the pilots. Those clips would be copyright protected (in case you were thinking of reusing some of them yourself).

Thanks for your service! 🙏 🇺🇸

Good question. I don't see why not, although if the zone is always going to be on then a valve seems unnecessary. Gives you options, though 🙂

Oh man I'm so sorry to hear that. Whatever your faith/beliefs, I hope my video helps you plan a meaningful service for your friend.

It really is!

Awesome, thanks!

Hey! You must be so excited about visiting the Faroe Islands! It's truly an amazing place. I'm not sure what license the comment below is referring to. I wasn't able to find any information about it. But you can visit this website which has good information as well as helpful links: visitfaroeislands.com/en/plan-your-stay/practical-information/drones I hope you have a wonderful trip and get some great photos/video!
