[@annawoo8556]

From Sydney, Australia. Kangaroo meat is probably equivalent to your bison meat.....not everybody would buy it as an everyday protein. You can buy it in the local supermarkets....similar price to beef. Interesting you can find it over in Canada. First time commenting here. Been watching your videos about a year now and thoroughly enjoy them.....one of the best videos to watch. It has everything and your cinematography is on par with the very best and even better than many. I am going back watching your earlier fat bike videos. Keep safe and well. And give Rocko a tummy rub for me.

[@annieway35]

Scrolled the comments to see if anyone mentioned the kangaroo meat, I was curious. I live in the states. I've had Bison, never tried a kangaroo burger.

[@zimbaliretreats]

Thanks for the comment- never tried it👍

[@rawnature8148]

Roo meat is closer on moose than bison. The gamey taste is the difference. Also it is more lean than bison.

[@fearsomebunny]

Same. I started with Foresty when KZbin told me about a guy who lived in a van and then watched every video Foresty ever posted. A TL:DR version is basically that "living in a van is better than having room mates that were loud and didn't pick up after themselves and having to pay rent plus the commute" and something went off in my head. Well, I have 3 really young kids so I live vicariously thru Foresty's videos and dream of the day when I can just go... Some of Foresty's videos show, IMHO, the only way a man should live in today's world, if you have the means to afford it...

Simon, I watch a lot of different channels, and yours is by far the best and most entertaining channel out there.

Best way to stop your brake noise is to get original GM pads they usually give you brand new anti-rattle clips and pad lube. Use a good wire brush to clean all the rust off the caliper mounting area and lube the sliding pin bolts that mount your caliper mount with silicone gel lube.

[@RealJohnnyDingo]

oem pads are hard to beat

[@mikejamesalt]

OEM pads will come with new hardware, yes, but any local aftermarket parts supplier should have these on the shelf. If someone is desperate and we’re out of them, I’ll rob them from a set of pads and order in the hardware to replace what’s missing. I’m sure you’ll find a good place that will do this. It’s also not recommended to replace pads for noise without doing the rotors since the pads transfer material to the rotors. Introducing new pad material to an old rotors is inviting more noise issues.
