There are different levels of humans, and right now we have an overabundance of very low vibrational beings on the planet. I live in a very scenic area, and the streets are littered horribly with fast food trash people throw out of their cars. I believe the new "cool" thing to do must be to go grab something to eat, eat it in the car, then throw all the trash out the window. Save the planet? Are you kidding me? These people only care about where to get the money to go buy more fast food and gasoline so they can repeat the process.

Hello, Nice video. Thank you for the upload. I bought a Pith Helmet with a label "Abercrombie & Fitch" on it. Because of this helmet I checked on google and therefore got familiar with the few facts to know about the origins of this company and the men behind it. Now by "youtube suggestion" I got a look at your video and also noticed that you actually explore the dream home of this early friend of all explorers and nature lovers. (Not to say "Trophy Hunters..😁). KZbin is a great place to aquire knowledge. Also thanks to creators such as you.

It would make an awesome park. The building would be a great pavilion and picnic area after it was made safe.

Excellent video. Nice sunset, I wish you would've held shot of you right in front of moon for a few seconds. You are an excellent host.
