Autumn 2024 update

[@rolandropnack4370]

Hi Andrew, I just thought, maybe the volunteer firebrigades of Germany might be an interesting topic for your english and american viewers? After all they not only serve a very important role in public protection expecially in the rural areas, but often enough they are a key element of social live in small townships and villages. Between all the other german "Vereinsleben" i.m.h.o they are outstanding. I must admit, though, I am lazy and didn't look up if you had this topic covered already. Keep on the good work, I love to see my home country from the very special perspective you provide -the fresh, wide open eyes of a foreigner by birth that immersed himself so deeply into his new homeland that he knows his new community sometimes better than us indigenous ones... Thank you so much, Andrew!

[@fubini_yt]

Second that, I think I have recommend this before :)

[@knilschbromen7147]

Damn the autumn colours are so very beautiful. I'll need to pay more attention to that in the next weeks. Thanks for reminding me 😊

[@sonkeschluter3654]

I thought today that we have wonderful colors this year.

[@soundscape26]

Your reply on the walkability of German cities was the best. Many KZbinrs make careers out of making long and boring videos with very simple answers.

[@Peaceful_Rayne]

You're looking good, Andrew! Hope all the road work and bus strikes end soon!

[@hansmeiser32]

Yeah, but maybe he looks good because he has to walk so much?

[@stephenbamforth1514]

What a nice area you live in 👍🙂

[@tommeier8969]

Hey Andrew please stay, Germany isnt as bad as all but crazy times now worldwide.

[@Hendricus56]

Hey, the 08.11.2025 sounds totally realistic. Don't be so moody

[@charrogate]

Lovely seasonal 🍁 colours 😊

[@frankfurtrob866]

Agree on the rain, god, I thought it would never stop. An interesting tidbit, due to fears of drought, operators over filled the reservoirs great exasperating the situation.

[@arnodobler1096]

The last few years have mostly been too dry. A walnut and a chestnut tree at my bus stop didn't survive the drought, unfortunately. 😢 😢

[@nbell63]

If nothing else, that looked like a lovely stroll. 😊 (albeit a lovely stroll *right beside* train tracks!) 😯

Honestly, this is the content I'm subscribed for.

Das Auto hatte bestimmt eine Schaufel im Kofferraum und ist daher als Landwirschaftlich zu betrachten. (ist ein Versuch wert) 🚜😁

[@stefanhennig]

Oh, das ist keine gute Idee. Landwirtschaftlicher Verkehr ist _sehr_ eng gefasst. Ausschließlich unmittelbar _gewerblicher_ Verkehr. Schrebergärtner: nein. Beim Bauern ein paar Eier für den Eigenbedarf holen: nein. Hobbyangler: nein, Berufsfischer: ja. Landmaschinentechniker: ja. Der Schwager vom Bauern: nein... Aber letztendlich entscheidet das der Polizist oder der MA im Ordnungsamt...

All the best and hope the roadworks are finished soon.

[@Shusui350]

At least you have an almost finished road. Sometimes they don't even start the work.

[@lukasrentz3238]

"Generally cold and wet and miserable", yes, for most of the Year it was wet and miserable. And that wetness felt cold, because rain feels colder than sunshine. But actually, if we look at the Data, it wasn´t cold. All Months had a positive Anomaly. June had the lowest though with only +0.41K (we may call it "normal" when compared to the 1991-2020 Average). The Highest Anomalies have been found in August (+1.9K), May (+1.93K), March (2.88K) and February (+5.08K). Compared to very recent Years, Summer may have felt cold, since it was lacking intense Heatwaves and very recent Summers had been extraordinarily warm, this Summer was only ordinarily warm. With 18.48°C it was the 7th warmest since 1761, but the 3rd coldest of the last 7 Years. Precipitationwise we are currently slightly behind the record year 2002. An above average year is inevitable. Or in Short: It felt cold, but it wasn´t. Btw October is currently projected to end up ca. 1.7K above 1991-2020. With that, there is a very high chance that 2024 becomes the warmest year since we record weather in Germany, a record broken for the 3rd time in a row.

Maybe this is a stupid suggestion of something you already thought of, couldn’t you just get the b roll on shutterstock or similar platforms for your video about different types of road? It might be time consuming to find the right footage and editing things from different regions years and seasons of the yeart together. But It might work, I was a video editor when I was younger for a TV show, and we had to do that all the time Cheers, love your content for how authentic and well thought out it is!

[@baritonfelix]

And didn't we have wonderful weather yesterday. More of it please.

[@Everythingwithonehand]

This sounds a lot like the kind of stuff that we get in the U.K. with overrunning public works and strikes. It’s usually train strikes. My local bus operator has been cancelling services for ages due to a “driver shortage”.

[@starlinguk]

Public transport isn't nearly as bad in Germany as it is in the UK, though. It's really impressive that you can get a bus to even the tiniest blackwater.

[@stefanfriedt3450]

There are some strange Bicycles nowadays with four wheels and a motor.

[@Wouter_Grtsn]

In a month the German Weihnachtsmärkte are opening. Which markets are by your opinion must visit's?

It’s like Rewboss kept squeezing in front of the camera where some other guy was collecting B roll. :-)

[@autokorrektor8166]

That's a detour road 👍🏻

[@oninbridders]

1:50 feel yourself lucky you have a tarmaced walkway in a rural surrounding.

[@vrenak]

Speaking of infrastructure projects with delays, will you be doing a video on the Fehmarn connection and the delay they say is definitely most certainly not coming, and that the current schedule that hinges on absolutely noone having any issue with the new connection on the new crossing over he sound, and nothing at all going wrong during construction, like not even a few days of bad weather. Seems very unrealistic to me, and Danish and Swedish authorities are both very concerned that German authorities have laid out this timetable.

[@andrebrandao9451]

Hi. Love your videos. Question: did you have to open a business in Germany in order to receive the monetisation from KZbin? Regards.

[@MrGreatplum]

I had no idea you had a patreon - you should promote it more :)

[@soundscape26]

As per his Patreon video preview he will soon switch from Patreon to KZbin memberships.

[@EmilGlockner]

6:37 That would have been a great KZbin short, though. :D

[@frankfurtrob866]

Regarding Hanau I can't believe what a bad reputation it has - 20 years ago very true but of recent it has been gentrifying - like Frankfurt it has really nice areas and rather seedy areas.

[@worldhello1234]

Yes, if you live in the countryside in Germany you almost get the full American experience of a car based culture. That is a great tip to all homesick Americans who loathe the benefit of good infrastructure in walking distance. 😘😐 I love the Ruhrgebiet because I am not particularly fond of the American experience. ☺

[@rewboss]

I literally had the option of taking a bus (strikes notwithstanding) to the next village, had I wanted to; and I literally took a train from that village. This is not remotely like the "full American experience".

[@abgekippt]

3:05 Let's talk about your lack of weather control. Where does it come from and what have you already done about it?

[@oliverwtell]

Quote 'The bus drivers are on strike but the train drivers are not.' DONT JINX IT !!! Do not give train drivers any bad ideas ! If your are looking for a topic for a video, please make one about the different meanings of the word 'bit'.

[@rewboss]

Legally, the train drivers can't go on strike until 2026.

[@andreabartsch]

What is your village to be better than the airport of Berlin and the train station of Stuttgart?

Deduct Five Internet points for not using the opportunity of being cut off from the world for erecting Fallout-style scrap barricades and watchtowers, and declaring your village an independent State.
