Once I was on a hike and thought I saw Steve Backshall walk past me. I kept walking for a while before I decided I had to see if it was him and say hi. I ran back on myself for about a mile before I reached the guy. It wasn't Steve Backshall but I guess I learned that day that I'd run a mile to meet him if I could.

Steve Backshall is and always will be a legend in my eyes. From Deadly 60 to Expedition with Steve Backshall, all of his shows were always so engaging and exciting thanks to his raw enthusiasm and passion. Being born in 1998, for me, he picked up the torch from Steve Irwin (RIP Absolute legend too🙏🏼) when he tragically lost his life, and brought interesing, exciting educational nature content to our screens once again. Shows like these helped me to understand there is an extreme wealth of life beyond the human world we often pay too much of our attention to instead. Much respect Steve!❤️😎

Had the pleasure of meeting steve when i was a kid on the Isles of Scilly. I loved deadly 60 growing up and word spread around the island so fast that he was there filming something. From memory he was clearly in the middle of something, but he still took the time to stop what he was doing to take a picture with us. I was probably 9 then and i'm 24 now and still remember how kind he was to this day.

I never realized just how powerful a cow was until I visited a dairy farm. The bulls were very obviously massive and powerful, but when I saw the cow up close, I was quite literally shocked at just how massive and strong they were, and when a cow had a calve nearby, they watched every little thing you did intently.

As a child when we were camping, my parents and elder sisters were putting up the tent, I got to a fence nearby with "cows." I climbed on it and petted them until I yelled to my family: "Oh look, how cute, these cows have curls." The one time my family did a race to get me away from the fence of a "cow" meadow.

I get the creeps when I look at roaches because I’ve seen infestations. I had a friend in highschool, I say had because I don’t go over there anymore. I swear on my life his house was 90% cockroach 10% house. I’d feel bad if he didn’t deserve it. Instead of idk fixing things all him and his mom do is wake up at noon every day. Smoke bong hits and rewatch old episodes of friends. Every single day for years on end. They are normal people, I like him and his mom as people but like the way they live. Imagine washing your dishes covered in roaches, putting them in the cabinet covered in roaches for the roaches to crawl on the “clean plates” just to eat some food off them that the roaches hit first. It’s like the roaches turned their house into a trap house. I told one of my other buddies who has the same grievances I do, that if I won the lottery the first thing I’m doing is destroying their house and getting them a new one. He told me “bro why would you do that, they are just gonna let the same shit happen to the new house”. My room is messy, I keep beer cans on the floor when I’m drunk and too lazy to take them out. I don’t have bugs in my room. I live damn near in the woods so bugs are unavoidable. I see roaches in my bathroom occasionally, I assume they are drawn to the toothpaste. My room is messy but I relish in the fact the bugs I see are in the bathroom, I don’t eat in the bathroom. Edit: I swear to god, If you sit on my homies couch a funk sticks to your clothes. I’d come over, sit on the couch and hang out for 15 mins. The second I get in my car my car is filled with musk. The smell of just musk and funk. I took a shower and scrubbed myself everytime I left their house and they got the balls to ask me why I don’t come around anymore. Mf id live in my car before I lived in that house I swear on everything I love id sleep on the sidewalk before I step foot in that god damn house again
