Get Outside!

[@thebrainscoop]

I like to sit and watch the birds and imagine them as gigantic murderous beasts ready to devour my flesh, and then I'm glad we're not in the Cretaceous anymore. What are some of your favorite things to do outside? :)

[@theheinzification]

My favorite thing to do outside is to go inside. :)

[@chloemusson9859]

Go exploring with my dogs and see what interesting things we can find!

[@thebrainscoop]

Twostones00 become a dog walker! then you can borrow other people's dogs and play with them and even get paid for it! unlike me, I just borrow the neighbor's dog and he comes out like, emily get out of my yard we've talked about this

[@SM-Flyers]

When I am outdoors I mostly dream about how nice it is indoors.

[@thebrainscoop]

Twostones00 oh, I'm sorry I made an assumption about you. and I feel you re: the bike rally; that's one week of the summer I don't miss from my time living in Rapid City.

[@brasswirebrush]

If I had to choose one person that I would want to teach me about pooing and/or menstruating in the woods, it would definitely be Emily.

[@1970HondaCL100]

But I'm outside staring at the screen right now. Your move, Emily.

[@thebrainscoop]

i've been bamboozled

[@1970HondaCL100]

thebrainscoop ... I guess I'll go take the dog for a walk then? No bamboozle.

[@zebedeesummers4413]

While working up north I used to go to town and download some music and a few videos so I could listen to them before going to sleep. Made me feel a lot more connected.

[@niveditatewary2012]

me too.

[@WarisAmirMohammad]

Watching this on a train, does that not count

[@Noobphobic]

I read the title and I was like “omg Mom fine”

[@p0lyf0nisk]

Damn it feels good to live in a country where you can roam basically everywhere! (Sweden) Also, there's a swedish saying; "Det finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder." (There are no bad weather, only bad clothing.) Love the channel!

[@mabumarnauen7318]

not only swendish people, say that. Germans too.

[@p0lyf0nisk]

The more you know! :D

[@s_mores]

this is beautiful

[@erichewes3288]

The interview in the rain made me laugh. that's commitment to the cause!

[@zeabeth]

I'm in the park right now on a breather from juggling practice. I love how generally happier people are while walking around in nature. It's hard to stay grumpy while taking a moment to just exist with everything around you.

[@shookings]

Ohmagawd. From 4:35 on is some of the funniest stuff Iver ever seen from you Emily. Great vid as always. I'm glad you had fun with it despite any embarrassment I actually have to edit, and that never happens on KZbin. This is sincerely one of the most incredible videos I've ever seen. You covered everything. It's awesome.

[@kujmous]

It still has rains on it. Sharing this all over!

[@SilverDawnArrow]

In the summer I like to do sudoku in the garden everyday with my cats sat next to me

[@TasJess]

That was beautiful. I grew up "out bush" in rural Australia and it never occurred to me there are people who have literally never peed behind a tree.

[@anightgirl]

I love every video you make. I need to road trip myself to the field museum.

[@TheOnceandFutureGeek]

Good video

[@SethKastner]

Thanks for bringing this up. I thought about this issue more than once during this great video.

[@MCAndyT]

[@sherylhosler9487]

Bahaha, Sheheryar's facial expressions are the best!

[@DanielSolis]

Oh boy, the bloopers on this must have been great! 😂

[@thebrainscoop]

I only brought one bottle of water for the whole day and was severely dehydrated, also someone had thrown up all over the port-a-potty and it was ookie. So in general I was not even prepared to go outside, which is ironic since the video is about ... being prepared to go outside

[@DanielSolis]

Starting up my summer running routine again, I forgot how much water I can go through AND how nasty a port-a-pottycan be. But anyhoo, great video! Nice to see more of the team!

[@Celeste-in-Oz]

There should be something akin to a nobel prize for this kind of fearless awesomeness. Plus, having pets that need to go outside is great motivation. My doggy gets me out walking very regularly. I love her :)

[@TheMrAshley2010]

I saw the 'Get Outside' thumbnail yesterday. And without watching the video, went outside and did about 8 hours of DIY work in my backyard. It was very enjoyable.

[@chpa0201]

Just came home from a 2 hour pokemon go adventure in the parks :D

[@TracyLayden]

Christian Palm Forsgren Besides the community, my favorite part of PoGo is the fact it makes me go outside at least once a day!

[@ve2dmn]

Great timing. I'm heading out tomorrow in the middle of the woods to watch the Perseids.

[@thebrainscoop]

have fun!

[@ve2dmn]

I will. It's not a Dark-sky preserve, but it's still somewhat far from light pollution.

[@catsadilla324]

I love walking through my city park. It gives me peace of mind away from all the worries and stress of life, and it's beautiful.

[@Sarin-xl2ok]

braniscoop: get outside! 2020 : you better change that title!

[@princessespiritu755]

It appeared they don't know how to do the Asian Sit. Fascinating. Love you, Emily!

[@spaceunicornrainbows2858]

Thank you for sharing science with all of us. You rock, I am 8 and I made my family become museum members in order to see more of the Field Museum.

[@gravityvertigo13579]

One of my favorite things about this channel is that you constantly surprise me with clever and different subjects for videos, and you pursue them fearlessly. This was great!!!

[@DuckettMMC]

I took my kids to the Runge Center in Jefferson City, Missouri today! Great trails plus an indoor educational center which is great for kids. We saw turkeys today!

[@censusgary]

In my area, if you “brace yourself against a tree,” you’re pretty likely to press your back against a scorpion. They like to hang out in crevices in the bark.

[@TheQuetzalcoatl]

yeah wow I was thinking more about ants colonising you in 10 seconds but that sounds bad.

[@77nephtis]

If you need something to do outside and don't mind having a bit of technology around you, try Geocaching. It's fun and can help discover interesting places.

[@LaxLune]

It'd be cool to do a follow up about how people with mobility aids and disabilities can enjoy nature. :) I love this video

[@westbaystars]

I started playing Ingress five to six years ago. That got me going outside. I continue with 2.5 to 3.5 hours each day even now. My favorite route is in the forrest back behind the Shomyoji Temple. Other than birds, I've seen squirrels, a raccoon, a snake, and a number of stray cats. Ducks, turtles, and Carp live in the pond in front of the temple and migratory birds can be seen from time to time. It started with Ingress, but I now enjoy a couple hours outside daily, be it sweltering heat and high humidity in the summer (line now), during a typhoon (a couple weeks ago), or with snow falling during the winter. I just don't feel right without my 10,000 steps on my pedometer every day.

[@matimil1000]

Join the enlightened!

[@MAR72132]

Our family loves your show. Thank you for your amazing work and how you teach. We love it. Please don't ever take out the ending "This one still has brains on it."

[@cynthiac4396]

Just watched your interview on CBS This Morning!!! Ahhhhhh!!! Amazing! Keep up the great work you do!

[@Mic_Glow]

I switched from "8 hour starring at screen, helping idiots" office job to a technician (trams and power lines). Never been happier. Not only is the pay better, I'm also feeling like actually doing something for the town I live in.

[@96unicorns]

Having done fieldwork in the Amazon I highly recommend you don't touch trees to maintain balance there :D :D (loads of aggressive ants)

[@ZOB4]

Most days I spend at least an hour, usually more, outside. Getting to see the seasons change and feel the world on a daily basis is invaluable. Embrace the less comfortable conditions, and you'll like the pretty days even more.

[@Rithene]

Challenge 6: I'm disabled af. Before anyone comes up with some helpful suggestions or admonishments, I actually do love the outdoors and used to spend tons of time outside, but now...I can't. I generally can't even sit outside for very long, because the ground and most outdoor furniture are not hip-friendly. Walking outside most days is also not an option, because walking on uneven surfaces starts hurting very quickly. Sigh.

[@terrypotato]

Rithene I hear you; I've got bad hips too. That's why I live vicariously through channels like this. Not ideal, but a part of how to manage!

[@MrBinthestudio]

5:21 ... that look on her face! God, she cracks me up!

[@loisharvan1433]

You are amazing. Saw a piece on CBS Saturday News...So glad I saw it. Keep up the amazing things you do. I will always be checking your blog. You are a bright example of youth.

This is exactly the quote I thought of when she said it ha ha ha.

[@jimday666]

The heck was this episode?! I like it

[@elusiveart530]

Nice video! I agree people need to get out more... and those bodily function demonstrations for the woods were so funny! You should do more dissection videos as well!

[@steve-o6413]

Hi Sunshine, thanks for the tips. Enjoy peace an happiness while manifesting the light an love of life!

[@quentinfunderburg991]

Do a video at the Indiana Dunes!!! That place is great!

[@gestaltgal]

Thanks to this video and the resources it provided, we went on an outdoor adventure last weekend! Thank you!!

[@katiegriffitts4311]

On the contrary, I think that you would make a fabulous weather person! The weather report made me so happy. 😊

[@belladonnaRoot]

The "bad clothing" sort of thing breaks down with high heat. In dry climates, shade fixes that quite well. But there's no good escape from 95F with 90% humidity....which is most days here in Tennessee, at least from May to September. Unless it's raining, then it's 80-85, but 100% humid. I miss my southern California weather

[@allanlank]

The city of Toronto, where I live, has an Urban Forestry department. Natural fauna and flora are encouraged along both the Don and Humber rivers that flow though the city. The naturalization of the river valleys was a result of the effects of Hurricane Hazel in 1954

[@Kekkika13]

Another wonderful video! Thank you for sharing it and working so hard, it's very much appreciated!

[@liviuq]

This is the first video I've seen on this channel and I already love this content

[@JugheadJones03]

This was entertaining. Nice to see some of the peeps that make TBS possible.

[@IndriidaeNT]

I like being outside. Last year me and my family visited California and its cool places.

[@leoshevkun3645]

Thank you for such a great video :) Your content is always refreshingly warm and informative

[@BeCurieUs]

Your producer is my spirit animal

[@N3rdfightermom]

Loved this episode, and I watched it from my hammock in the backyard

[@AnnaEwing]

I so love this video! I just came back from three days at a Girl Scout camp

[@angelaboesche]

"Sheheryar, who has never been outside." Lol!

[@PoseidonXIII]

Very informative!! Local parks give me solace in life.

[@animaladventures14]

9:38 - I dunno, I'd totally watch Emily's Weather Forecast!

[@broski499]

This was fantastic. Just thank you. Bravo.

[@burningmanmike]

Ms. Emily, You ROCK!

[@itaacesar3029]

I LOVE your intro song. Also thanks for all the awesome videos!

[@BeaverK1ng]

Your videos are amazing. Please keep them up! They hydrating comment had me laughing for a long time.

[@SquirrelGrrl]

I’ve had a pee funnel for years. And ladies, a menstrual cup is the best invention!

[@TylerPlaysPingPong]

I love to walk slowly through the creek by my house. I look for invertebrates, fish, and if I'm lucky I get a Great Blue Heron!

[@theJellyjoker]

It's Central Florida outside, I'd rather not.

[@russellbond1232]

Jeff Liggett same man. They think Chicago's hot. They haven't seen hot.

[@librarian_laur]

Having moved from Chicago to Atlanta, I can confirm that Chicagoans don't really understand hot. I am dying in my first Southern summer.

[@chrisknott4094]

I'm in South Carolina it's hot

[@MissLilyputt]

Jeff Liggett Yeah, they don’t understand true Florida heat much less FL wildlife. I live in Miami and in no way do I want to fo to the Everglades in the height of summer. Might as well make funeral preparations if I do that. Between all the predators, insects, heat and humidity I would die. Nope, nature for me is a screen saver picture on my computer.

[@SethKastner]

Yeah, I'm also in a a more-hot-than-Chicago place (more hot than central FL, but also a bit less humid). One thing the video didn't hit on was how evening and (especially) morning are your friends. Get out late or early, stay hydrated and shaded as much as possible and take it in small doses if your body is telling you to back off. Anyway, humans can deal with and thrive in some pretty serious extremes of outdoor temperature. Cheers.

[@minisculemusings954]

I use iNaturalist. It's pretty awesome.

[@Orelaf84]

Yay! Emily has returned 😊😊😊

[@graphite2786]

We had a great day today out birdwatching. We saw hundreds of avocets, 3 different sp of ibis, 8 sp of ducks, 9 different sp of raptor, 5 sp of heron, bitterns, stilts, brolgas, grebes, and crakes! Here in Australia we have a really strange duck called a musk duck , they never come out onto land. We saw heaps of them displaying, they look like lizards!

[@oyst]

Awesome video! Gave me a good laugh, and a bit of inspiration.

[@flyjarrett]

I like how she talks about poo with a smile. 😊

[@invisibleninja86]

I feel like you might be the only human who’s ever explained to other humans how to poop in the woods. Most people will just invite you on a camping trip without warning you there are no bathrooms, and abandon you to figure it out alone at night in a cold, awkward panic. Haha

[@KimberlyBrabson-o3k]

I've never thought of that. Now I know!

[@kts8900]

@Sheheryar. Amazing.

[@CuzicanAerospace]

"Who said it -- Emily Graslie, or Simone Giertz?" (Edit: I say that with love.)

[@MrMctastics]

Cuzican Aerospace physics girl?

[@CuzicanAerospace]

"Who said it -- Emily Graslie, Simone Giertz, or Dianna Cowern?" I can get behind that!

[@priscillafrye2951]

Just watched the piece on you on CBS, amazing!! I'd never heard of you but am completely captivated with your personality and approach. I was shocked and dismayed hearing about your trolls. First of all, I think you are adorably cute, your nerd chic look is very current, but your looks of course are NOT the point. You have developed an amazing platform to bring important info to a lot of people. I can be snarky from time to time but I cannot imagine spending time bashing someone on KZbin about their looks! If they are put off somehow by you, why are they watching? I hope you can somehow block all those aholes. They must be jealous of your success. I'm sure THEY all look perfect and have developed amazing projects themselves, right? I am old enough to be your mother, if I was your mother, I'd want to track all the idiots down and kick their asses! I hope you can ignore or laugh at them and I hope they are all ashamed of themselves.

[@WhoTheHellIsHarvy]

I would so love to go camping/hiking with Emily. She's so awesome

[@theflyingpenguini]

best weather report ever

[@denisekrupa4343]

Sheheryar, great job on the body language!

[@impishDullahan]

6:12 You clearly have never felt the gentle caress of a lamb's ear after a long hike.

[@JanelChristensen]

I'm packing for a 3-day camping trip right now!

[@humanoidmodel4217]

You just gave a whole new meaning to "tree hugger"

[@JennaGetsCreative]

I've been with my husband (total relationship time, not married years) for coming up on 5 years in October, and although I did a lot of camping and hiking as a kid, I hadn't quite experienced nature to this extent until meeting this family I now call my own. Organized camp grounds with washrooms? Hiking on marked trails with well tended outhouses at the beginning/end? Nope! Snowmobile trek across frozen ponds until you're 3 hours away from even the nearest abandoned logging road just to have lunch in the woods! I learned to pee in the woods at the age of 25...

[@ElmiliaWilczyca]

This is such a wholesome video❤

[@teriryan3523]

Love this!

As someone with IBD, I am basically chained to my toilet. Colitis sucks the fun out of most things.

[@wodnyrak]

It helps to know which plants get interesting at which seasons. For example, forsythias bloom in the very early Spring, azaleas - around the beginning of Summer, maples and ginkgo trees are at their most flamboyant mid-Autumn, and needle-leaved trees look wonderful in the Winter (^ w ^)

Wow, thanks for the "inaturalist" recommendation! I downloaded it five minutes ago and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Cornell Lab's "Merlin Bird ID" is another good one for all the birders out there.

This video is adorable and awesome

[@gwenprinsen2998]

This was adorable!

[@eduardvaniersel7535]

I was planning to go for a walk, but then this video popped up...

[@BigglezTheCat]

Maybe you should make a video about weather and weather prediction? Sounds like a subject we all could learn a lot about ;)

[@SlyPearTree]

What a coincidence, I just came in from the great outdoor where I checked my mail, I think I might have been there 30 seconds. I did observe a couple of primate descendants walking their quadruped friend.

[@iwontliveinfear]

Ha, jokes on you! In watching this outside.

[@jaredj631]

Hey, I’m not staring at a screen I’m driving!

Deet is actually pretty environmentally devastating (especially for local frogs or pollinators). Citronella is a good alternative :)
