I want to give your comment a heart - I'm not nearly as awesome as these guys but I do a little youtube adventure channel too if you are ever bored, I'd be honored. Ive spent the alst 20 years helping people like yourself with technology (there aren't really IT people for nursing home patients - and it was really rare 20 years ago) best wishes to you :-) great to see how you're using technology!

[@bayanicustodio3998]

Who will remember the freedom they had as a child when parents weren’t scared of every single living or inanimate thing may harm them, when you were free to learn about the world around you. I don’t think there is ever a pickup game on playgrounds that didn’t have parents organizing them these days. Love the fact there are still places that matches the place that I grew up in.

[@giddygrub7176]

If you let children have freedom and explore like that now you get done for neglect.

[@ShalomShalom-d5c]

My parents gave us lots of room to be us; we traveled a lot too & learned cultures. Every kid should get to do that. So many people think the Russian people or French people are strange but they are the same as us in the US, they want the same things for their kids/families; its the Govts that are different. And the people are SO nice!!

[@bean420man]

I honestly think that this plays into why we have so many societal problems now. Kids grow up not knowing how to act, how to be independent, with depression and anxiety issues. Yes, kids need limits but they also need some freedom and need to learn about life on their own some.

[@hapnewsom9217]

Every coin has two sides, as does Palmerston, life on a small island can get very boring after you've seen everything (100 times) done everything (100 times) talked to everyone (100 times). It takes a special person to be able to endure that without getting "island happy"....I loved my time in the Pacific in many locations, and would not trade the experiences for a ton of gold, and I miss those places, as much as (or maybe more than) I wanted to get away from that life at the time. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for bringing up some wonderful memories!

[@adamclark9004]

Yeah exactly. Everyone who is saying " I would definitely live there and be happy " doesn't think about that

Well said Dan! - I've always felt that this Earth could be like Heaven if we'd only let it be, but for greed perhaps or ego or whatever it's is that drives us to muck it up... we just can't seem to live in peace and harmony and selflessly cooperate for the greater good like these pure-hearted people on this wonderful island.

What was a bit sad was when Arthur explained about the younger generation's dependence on imported food as opposed to eating breadfruit etc, the traditional food eaten on the island. It's the same here in New Zealand where all the younger generation seem to eat is processed, packaged rubbish like chips, daily. It will be interesting to see the health statistics from both locations in the future...

But the outside world influence is changing them also. That's hard for me to say that's a good thing. What most of us take for granted they have never had yet they have seemed to do very well.

So now I have to find someone who wants chickens, which person happens to have papaya for trade. Which I know I can trade for fish, which I might be able to trade for some palm wine. Palm wine I can flog for lumber, and THAT I can trade for the rice I need. With money, I can just sell the goat to the guy who wants a goat, and go straight to the guy who has rice.

[@rr8960]

I wonder if they have enough plant life that could sustain a bee colony.

[@Bacoprah]

or if a hive would last a cyclone or two?

[@ianmoone2359]

Perhaps they need to plant enough flowering plants and crops that would sustain a hive of bees first? A Flow hive would give them a sustainable source of honey. But then honey probably comes on the supply ship in plastic bottles and is probably adulterated with corn syrup to give the kids adult diabetes. No doubt they could probably grow other staples like corn itself or wheat IF they had the fresh water.

My thoughts exactly. It's a bit sad, but the grass always seems greener on the other side. The more connected the world gets, the more "other sides" we can see and the more we long for something we don't have, not appreciating what we do have. I don't think there is way around that.

I’m so so confused? How can they afford an excavator and mopeds and a tractor, and high speed internet. I have some goggling to do

With help from the NZ government... There is a push of funds to them and other south pacific islands because the Chinese government is making loans and paying for infrastructure and expanding their influence in the region.

So great ..as usual. So many "journalists" could learn from you too. The work you put into these videos is simply awesome. I know what it takes to do what you do, because I do it everyday too and have for 30 years, and I can tell you..you are very very good story tellers. I am like thousands of others, I always smile when I see the email that says Gone With the Wynns has just posted a video. Thank you both for understanding that "people stories" are so compelling and this one was fantastic..so fun to watch. Many people take viewers to places, very few know how to tell the stories of people's lives like you do!

Thank you Rich, that means so much to us. Like any labor of love, we invest far more time and effort than we probably should, but it's comments like these that keep pushing us to work hard and do our personal best with each adventure video we create. 🙏
