I haven't done the math yet but by my initial estimate, I was awake for at least 36 hours straight for this particular experience! Sometimes in nature (my primary area of passion) I can stay awake for super long times because I just don't get tired of all that I'm seeing and experiencing around me! I'm looking forward to sharing some of the clips of what I was shown. Stay tuned! :)

​@@SpiritualDevilWhy would you do this?

@@JonnieSlade-fh2cg Which part? Traveling to a remote place (or two), getting up early to run and enjoy a beautiful town or sharing a sunrise and some commentary here with friends and family? Please clarify the question and I’ll do my best to answer, but the main thing is that I was having a great time and feeling better by the day as expected when I set out on this journey.

Hey pal what hiking boots do you wear?

[@SpiritualDevil]

In the past I wore some pretty rugged Asolo hiking boots. I still have 'em, I have just tended to wear less and less "heavy" and more often now I opt for sandals. Check out this clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a32odoGZfcuao9E For my sandals, I definitely require a heel strap. This is for safety reasons. Also, it takes time to get used to hiking in sandals to avoid long distance strap abrasions. For this specific outing I wore sandals about 90% of the time no matter the terrain. I only wore hiking style shoes on one occasion and they were On Cloudwander waterproof hiking/trail shoes. If I had it to do all over again I'd only ever have worn shoes of any sort for extremes, like extreme cold for example. Sandals are the most comfortable ventilated temperature regulating way to go, IMO. Not only does one consider the terrain more carefully but true ankle and tendon strength is built when we reinforce our thousands of steps in "real world" conditions.

Sunrise 🌄, sunset 🌅 is not the message. You're being engulfed in narcissism. Give us Tejano tunes 👍

@@janevillarreal3615 I'm not being unkind, I'm just asking for him to write a Tejano tune. Give the people what they want! Power to the people! ✊

Mr. (or Mrs.? Screen Names don't say for sure) Cornbread... What people are wanting a Tejano tune? What power is there for any people other than to self actualize without some other (usually ethnically entitled) person telling others to do some type of work that they themselves would not? I haven't had anyone ask of me a song in any style except for to comment how close some of my work came to reminding them of, for example, a Nirvana or Pixie's song. Neither are in the Tejano realm and none of my upbringing was in that realm either. Forgive me if I don't share your joy for the musical style that you long for, but feel free to search for a channel that does suit your needs. This one will not be it for now. As I said, I am first going to work on my Jackson Cornbread song until it is finished. It was inspired by true events from now and not centuries (or even just decades or short years) in the past.

@@SpiritualDevil So, arrogantly, you will not comply with my Tejano rhythm request?

[@SpiritualDevil]

I've named my abilities, my likes and my dislikes. As with before (and the truth you claim to wish to reveal) I have no plans, especially not arrogant plans, to compose a song of your preferred style. I wish you the best in finding your preferred singer/songwriter AND I have never been paid as a musician for the tunes I'm writing in my own style as my own secure self.

Also, you need to have more consideration for the environment and global warming. Your black bears and turtles will soon be gone. Open your eyes

[@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763]

@@janevillarreal3615 I do have consideration for the animals, that's why I suggested that the address global warming. Their habitat is being destroyed.

[@SpiritualDevil]

Climate warming? Global change? I suppose I *could* (did?) take those situations into consideration: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2XGnWOuptd9r8U

[@SpiritualDevil]

Let us correct something here - These are OUR black bears and turtles. WE are the stewards of these situations, wherever we might be to "help out". I hope you will continue to help out with sharing these types of insight. It is great that you mentioned turtles. I have some fresh content for you about our turtles and as usual it also speaks about the environmental warnings you seem so passionate about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4upi6CuarOYgLs
