I've been an on and off viewer of the channel for like 8 years, I think the first video I watched was either the world's biggest unboxing or the Hermann tortoise video way back in 2015 ish. It's kinda funny how a place can feel so familiar even if you have never been there physically and live 6000 miles away in Europe. The camp has come a long way, and I especially love how the backyard and ponds have exploded in diversity in the past 2 years. 2021 seemed to be an especially difficult year between Slinky nearly dying at the end of 2020, the raccoon situation, the thieves, Bobby Rabino, Lagatha, Freds death and more, but there have been so many amazing things coming since then, it's really exciting. I love Freds lagoon and Caiman creek, they really do feel like the crowning achievements of 20 years of Kamp Kenan. But also Slinky's new enclosure and many of the smaller projects have been amazing to witness. So thank you for all the hard work and letting us be part of this journey, Kenan! It's always a joy to come back after a long day, sit on the couch and see what's going on in the camp. It's also very inspiring, we've built and consequently updated a big outdoor enclosure for our 4 Hermann tortoises in the past couple of years. I'm looking forward to seeing where the journey goes next and if I'm still around in 20 years, I'd love to see the camp's 40th anniversary. Also shout out to Mat! You two are a great duo and I feel like he has brought some fresh perspectives to the channel and allowed Kenan to do more stuff without worrying about the camera constantly as well!

In the 7.5 years of watching, I have seen the highs and lows of your daily life, living with all your reptiles. I was actually crying with you when you thought you had lost Slinky and then was crying tears of joy at his turn for the better. Then tears of sadness when we lost Fred. No matter what you plan on doing, I will continue watching until you decide you are done. Continue on with what you do because you are now an ambassador for reptiles.

And to see how Matt has changed, to be so at ease around all of your reptiles, an being so close with Slinky now. Even getting close to your croc monitors, at a safe distance. You have such a love, and passion for all of your reptiles, and it really shows what fantastic care that they get from you.

I have really enjoyed coming across you as an adult, I grew up riding BMX and watching you. We are the last generation that grew up outside, whether we realized it or not nature was our playground and we took advantage of wild spaces without knowing it. Now 20 years later I am playing with turtles and critters and looking for more information and there you are! it is amazing that we old pedal pushers still have something in common. Thank you again for all the great knowledge.
