Exploring a Volcanic Plug on Haida Gwaii: Taaw Tldáaw (Tow Hill)

[@threedot141]

What a great video! Loved the drawings and description of the volcanic plugs, and the music which complemented the beautiful scenery.

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

Hehe my silly drawings. I'm so glad the points got across. Thanks for watching, that's so nice!

[@mapleleafer74]

Love your enthusiasm, "okay, so let's climb this thing!"

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

Yeah, LET'S GOOOOO! 😁😎

[@jimmeyers8960]

Long, stressful day, hot humid, traffic. Bring takeout to home office, look for something to watch that'll make me happy for a while. This.... this was perfect. Thanks. :)

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

This makes me so happy. Take care, Jim!

[@billbrasky8904]

Kira, keep the videos coming. You do a great job.

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

Thank you Bill! I'll make videos as long as I have something to film, edit and upload on. I don't think I'll ever be able to stop! Lol

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

What an incredible place. Thank you Kira, for bringing us along for the adventure.. my degrees were all in computers, and your explanation was straightforward, and not in "layman's terms" so it was completely understandable.

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

I'm so glad it was understandable. The simpler explanations are always better in my opinion :)

[@apassageoftime]

Nicely done. Easy to understand explanations👍

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

I'm so glad it all made sense!

[@michaeltellurian825]

That lushness has always gotten me too.

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

I can't get enough of the lushness!

[@shoretrader1]

Wow. You are a natural teacher! Learned so much by watching this super field trip presentation. Keep 'em coming :)

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

Thats so cool. I've never thought of myself as a teacher so your comment is really special. Thank you.

[@MingWLee]

What a change of surrounding of this trail! The weather seems to be perfect too, what a day you have! (besides sinking into the bog over knee deep lol)

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

It was so interesting. Like entering different worlds through a portal or something lol. Thanks for watching :)

[@shakyhandpictures2185]

Great to see you!!!

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

Shakey hands! Always a pleasure. Thanks for sticking with me! 😁😎🙏

[@bafergs]

So glad you’re having such an amazing time on the island. It has been a good thing for you as you seem to have renewed life, you are being rejuvenated. Loved the stones as I enjoy tumbling the ones I find here in Atlantic Canada. Thanks for sharing your travels and life experiences with us. Be safe. Take care.

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

It must be so beautiful over there. I've never visited the Atlantic Ocean. So cool that you tumble stones. :)

Hey Bonnie, I just posted the next video in the Haida Gwaii series. I hope to make more :)

[@guti7454]

Great job explaining the volcanic plugs! I learnt something new today :)

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

Awe, thanks Chris! P. S. I'm going to have to warn Chim about that frog.

[@lofotenbajas]

How dare you introduce learning into my KZbin fun time!? 😂❤

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

Evil laughter goes here. Mwuahh ha ha haaaaaa

[@GrumpyPhotographer]

Nice! Hope you have a ticket to see PG when he's out your way. The show is rather good.

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

I did get to see him at Red Rocks years ago in Denver. I didn't end up getting a ticket because time/money has been tight. But he's such a hero as always. Love him!

[@christinabroadhead3810]

I really enjoyed this Kira. Was this part of your trip from last Summer? Maybe bring Foresty and Rocko over for some adventures on Haida Gwaii soon? Take care.

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

This was last summer, yes. I have so much footage to catch up on and a bunch of new ideas for some brand new videos. :)

[@nm-ge4tb]

👍👍✌✌💖💖🙏🙏excellent

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

Yay!

[@Sarge084]

Excellent explanation, but I have a question. Does Magna form the same type of rock upon cooling, wherever in the world the vent may be, or are there different types of rock? My (mis)understanding is that Magna comes from the earth's core and should therefore be the same, that's assuming that the earth's molten core is homogeneous!

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

As far as I understand the magma that reaches the earth's surface can have different mineral compositions and the crystallization of minerals depends on the rates of cooling as it reaches the surface. The details are too advanced for me since I'm not specialized in igneous geology.

[@Keepmining7313]

Hey Kira….spent 30 years mineral exploration…..great explanation!

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

Hello fellow natural resource friend! Very cool career. I'm so glad this made sense to you!

[@paulreportingliv]

So, do you actually live in your van 365 days a year or only when you go camping? I remember your previous videos you were talking about moving out of your apartment, so I wondered if you actually did it…

[@KiraandtheSurvivalPod]

I did in fact move out of that apartment! That's when my dad got sick and I spent months living in my van during his recovery. Then I left for Haida Gwaii in my van.

[@paulreportingliv]

@@KiraandtheSurvivalPod Wow, where is this place? Is it still in Canada?…

[@DEWDNEYANIMALHOSP]

Great video.
