The discussion about pasties cracked me up. And the comment about bug spray being kept in the poison section. We once camped in a place where the mosquitos were a visible wall so we used a product with something like 95% deet. The bugs were so voracious we had to spray our faces and it made our lips numb. I don't even want to think about what kind of cancer we gave ourselves that week.

A couple of things...Mark - you were right on the pronunciation of pasties. They are British in origin. Also, when you are on wooded hikes, dab some mint and lavender oils behind your ears and on your wrists. They are great natural insect repellants.

I always enjoy the videos. We have considered going on the road for a year, so we learn a lot from how you do things. BUT..... the best part of your videos for me is CALEB. He cracks me up. I have had a teenage son that found traveling with us quite laborious. Caleb has a pretty good attitude but has quite the sense of humor and it makes the videos real. I say... have him shoot one episode from his point of view for the whole thing. That would be viral for sure.

Meanwhile, I'll follow a bunch of other travelers and see more things, and get ideas for future trips. My latest "I'll never do it, but I love the videos" are the narrow boat people in England. Imagine RVing at 3 miles an hour down a canal. It's lovely. Most canals are going through countryside. And they all want to share their adventures.

Whenever you throw something in the water for the dog to retrieve keep it close and be prepared to go in and save him. My dog loves going after things and recently almost drowned just from being tired. I was able to get to him just as he went under and he's fine. I never even thought of that happening until it did. Be safe out there and thank you for taking the time to share.

My favourite type of fungi is the Mycorrhizal network which, if I'm remembering correctly, uses mycelium strands to connect trees, allowing trees to communicate with each other and pass nutrients. I never thought I'd be interested in fungi and trees. Then I read 'The Hidden Life of Trees' by Peter Wohlleben. Hands down a fantastic read and gives you a new appreciation for nature.

My husband and I took a road trip to the UP a couple of years ago. We had no plan, no idea where we would sleep or where we would eat. It was the best vacation of our lives! We stuck to local food and local motels. Our first stop was Sault Ste. Marie and we rode the coast west ending in Marquette and headed back home to Ohio. 5 days. My favorite stop was Munising, Sault Ste Marie was a nice town also. We had so many beautiful views from a number of light houses along the coast. We hiked to see waterfalls and totally enjoyed ourselves with no plan.

Love watching your videos and love the music. I was born and raised in the South West of England where pasties originated as a flat(ish) semi circular pie, that farm workers could put into their back pockets for their lunch. We were in the UP earlier this summer and sampled a Michigan Pastie....pretty good!!! We also visited Kitch-iti kipi, the group that went out before us included some Native Americans for whom the location is sacred and were granted permission to drum and chant while on the raft. Even from the shore it was quite an experience.
