HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.... FULL RESPECT MR BALO.

[@Dave1854]

These are great times you will cherish with Mr. Bat for years to come, haunting memories of your great friend.

[@lyndonbaptiste]

You're right, Dave. I cherish this chance encounter and the positivity it's revealing. 🙂

[@Dave1854]

@@lyndonbaptiste The most revealing thing I’ve gotten from your videos with Mr. Bat is that he seems very contented and at peace with his life. That’s commendable because we all go through life trying to find contentment and peace. He is a shining example of that. 🙏❤️🙏

[@angeleneramdanie2290]

These videos always give a feeling of nostalgia.. So peaceful and calming .. Excellent

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Sweet! Glad you like it.

Two things: Mr Bat is alive and well. This video is dedicated to his recently deceased brother; My dad's book, The Ghost of Caura, is now available. Purchase it here: amzn.to/3bRFugU

This video reminds me of when i was growing up with my dad, cutting firewood and being in the outdoors Great memories, the old time days

[@akramsar]

That is a beautiful black pot. I also appreciate coming to your channel and getting a different style of video every time. I figure eventually you will settle on a particular style, but I appreciate the mixed bag we get for now. Each video is a surprise. A little Trini golden nugget for the archives.

[@akramsar]

And the hiding in the bush was epic. There's just something about candid video footage.

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Akash, this comment means a lot. I often wonder if I'll settle and people will come to the channel for a particular Thing but I doubt it. I like the surprises too. Thanks again.

[@zahiramohammed3039]

I really like this video. The scenes and imagery captured. Keep up the great work .

[@lyndonbaptiste]

Thanks! We were going for a true bushman experience and I wasn't sure it would work. It's inspired by a no talk video I saw sometime ago (I remember a guy cutting meat and mountains in the background) so I can't take credit for the idea. I just finally found the right man for the job. Thanks for watching. 😊

How it conceivably possible for any two-year old child, anywhere on the face of this entire earth, to get through a single day unharmed and without serious injury? There are innumerable ways for things to just go wrong. Yet, for most toddlers, they fare just fine on a daily basis. The same can be said about Industrious Mr. Bat; tripping, falling, thorns, sharp objects - danger is everywhere, but somehow he comes out unscathed, unharmed; in fact, he thrives! Just as a toddler, Mr. Bat had extra special love and affection from Mother Nature for whatever reason, but my guess would be, after meeting this kind gentleman, it was because of his innocent and almost childlike SINCERITY "Inside Caura".

Just seen the wild parrot in a small caged area, when it's natural habitat is boundless. If this isn't cruelty, I don't know what is? I haven't seen anything in the small space it inhabit to stimulate it's interest and provide occupational therapy. All wild birds have things that stimulate interest , provides play, helps with their need to groom themselves for peak health and conditioning. God gave us dominion over animals, but warned us to treat them wirh compassion and respect.

I am taken back to the way I once lived with my dogs as company similar to Mr. Bat with my old Landrover Defender to commute through undulating colonial traces, Cooking on ah chulaa , gathering wood , living off de land....not everyone cut out for that kinda life. I have since migrated but every time I have visited I make it my duty to go and spend at least a week in the bush. I love your vlogs but particularly the ones showcasing “The Quite Life in Caura. Thanks Lyndon for your videos, they bring me a sense of comfort.

[@angelalumwai6164]

I love this set up, as I love being close to nature. This handsome mature man has an idyllic lifestyle. However, I am aware Trinidadians are infamous for cutting down trees, creating waste land an arrid areas. They kill wild life for fun and by devastating their natural habitat, this further destroy our eco system, which is our life force we depend on totally; for clean air, fresh clean water, the preservation of the soil , which sustain growth and stops flooding. We are already seeing soil erosion, water unable to penetrate into the ground. How does the govt allow people to continue living on land in an unsustainable way? Why isn't there an education programme in every village to provide its people with knowledge on a sustainable methods to care for and respect the land, rivers, waterway and natural wild life in our small island. We need to farm organically and not poison the soil (as well ) with fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides . In developing countries fast growing trees are specifically grown for charcoal . How can a tiny island afford to cut down trees that takes hundreds of years to grow for charcoal that burns within minutes for the most hours? Unbelievable how people on this small island exploit our small precious land; when larger countries ( many thousand time larger ), sustain their land and waters by educating their citizens, passing strict laws and planting thousands of trees every week. Just look it up if you doubt it. I am not saying this nice man is distroying our land, as I have no evidence of this.
