Highlights
There's just so much beautiful nature over here here um, not that South Africa doesn't have I, mean South Africa has got some amazing, places I was watching um just before we, started our travels I actually, um just before we started our travels I, actually me and Belinda did a job there, in Cape Town in the Fain boss where we, uh for the Absa cap, epic um and I came across some videos of, the mountains there where we put up the, bers and waited for the cyclists and the, sunrise I mean it is absolutely stunning, so yes South Africa's got some amazing, places but over here there's, just I love it this is my kind of place, the big old growth forests the large, trees the water I love water it's um, it's just amazing and there's so much of, it and it's all around, you um so yeah that's great
We are, going to start this I'm going to make a, point of doing a lot more outdoorsy, stuff getting away from these screens, that I'm just like always in front, of go do stuff outside we're going to, have one at least one Community Bri a, month for the for the rest of this year, end of the story enough is, enough um and then we're going to start, setting up a couple of community Camp, trips we like get a bunch of people, together go camping so if you're in BC, and you want to join me to go camping, let me know we'll do one guys trip and, um maybe a family trip go camping for a, weekend we need to start booking um, campsites now
I think the US is like the front end of, the world at this stage and maybe it, won't be forever but that's where all, the newest Tech comes out of that's, where all the newest amazing things, happens and it's right there it's right, here next to us I mean we can go to the, Boeing factory we can go to the Nike uh, head office we can go and visit places, there um we can go to Vegas we can go to, I mean it's all just hops keeping a jump, away whereas in South Africa we're at, the bottom end of the world should World, War three break out though South Africa, is probably a better place to be than, Canada or the us because all the bombs, are coming this way but for now this is, the cooler place to, be
I can see myself growing old in, Canada I, can there are issues like I said, but ah that's one of the good, things is, um there's hope and that's a big thing, there's hope in Canada you know um I am, unhappy with the carbon tax but I have, hope that we can get it changed the, people can vote in the next election and, select a different prime minister and we, can get it fixed
Um and uh without, it that's when Things Fall, Apart so, um yeah that's the political that's what, we were talking about the political, system over here in politics we actually, have, hope we actually believe that uh just, let's just get to the next election we, can vote the next person in and he can, fix, it although sometimes I look at the US, politic politics um and I'm like oh my, Lord I don't know if anybody there has, any hope
Um it is something that happens a lot, speaking about the medical over here is, um you've got uh, um you know they they call it, preventative medicine so the doctors, send you for tests all the time to go, and check out that you find and you like, a hearing test and um blood tests, regular and stuff like that so you, know Healthcare is definitely not as bad, as people make it out to be I mean you, obviously hear a lot of scary stories, but it's it's not problematic for me at this, stage
Um so what we do with a, dehydrator is you dehydrate and you dry, stuff and you can dry fruits I mean we, use it for boltong but you can do fruits, and all kind kind of things a freeze, dryer works differently it flash freezes, the product and then it dries it as it, it defrosts it and as it defrosts it it, like evaporates all of the water out of, it so it's like 24 hours and you freeze, dry your, products and, then they say this lady was saying, because I saw it online and I was like, well I don't know and this lady started, chatting and she said her friend has got, a freeze dry, she says she freeze dry strawberries it, removes 97% of the, water and 6 months later you just Chuck, the strawberry in, water and it reabsorbs that water and, she says it tastes like a fresh, strawberry I'm still struggling to, believe that though
I saw this lady on YouTube she takes, like food she makes a meal she portions, it off and she sticks it in the freeze, dryer and she freeze dries her macaroni, and cheese or potato bake um and her ham, and everything and then she takes it out, of the freeze dryer when it's rock, hard and she, um and she uh adds water and it's just, like boom right back there again it's, ham again or it's a potato bake or it's, a it's just like it's I find it hard to, believe but it is a really cool thing,
So maybe uh I'm going to start looking, into getting a freeze dryer they're just, damn expensive it's like, $5,000 but can you imagine I mean we'll, probably save all of that money and the, amount of food we could throw away, because you know how it goes man I like, it's a pet peeve of, mine we, um we make food or we buy, apples and suddenly everybody's eating, apples the kids love apples and I eat, apples and Melinda eat apples and the, apples just doesn't last and then we go, and we go buy another giant bag of, apples and next week nobody wants to eat, an apple and it all sits there until, they until we Chuck them because they go, bad and letters and so many other things, that just kind of waste and food you, know we make food I we make food for, everybody and then the kids decide oh, I'm not hungry cuz I got a pizza or I, went out with my mats or whatever and, I'm not hungry and then they don't eat, and then the food goes in the fridge and, then there's too little for tomorrow, night's meal so we need to make more, food but nobody wants to eat leftovers, it's just we throw away so much stuff,
I'm sitting there thinking hm I'm just, going to damn well make a bunch of stuff, and freeze dry the lot and then when, you're hungry you just add water doesn't, that seem like a, plan and of course you, know can you imagine if your fruits and, veggies if you freeze dry them and if, you add water they just as good as they, were before which is what they claim, it's almost as if you have a fresh, strawberry um um we can in summer when, strawberries are cheap and veggies are, cheap everything is cheap you just buy, all of the stuff stick them in the, freeze, dryer and store them and in winter when, every when people pay like $20 for a, little watermelon this size you just, pull yours out of the freeze dryer add, water and you got a watermelon
I don't, know if any of you have had um, experience with freeze dryers but it, seems very um interesting, I would actually love to taste some, stuff that's gone through a freeze dryer, so if you know anybody that has one um, Bing me I I'd be very interested to have, a look at, it
Always make and sell survival kit, eh hey I can buy a freeze dryer put it, in South Africa let my mom make me milk, T and all of the nice South African, goodies and then ship it over here, freeze, dried, stays good, forever they say stuff that's been, freeze DED just as a matter of Interest, stuff that's been freeze drri can, last for up to 25 years you just add, water and it works, again so that's interesting
Anyway um, here I am back at uh west van so I'm, going to sign off folks 52 minutes 53, minutes there we go exactly 5 we'll be, 55 minutes I'll be at home so an hour, yeah an, hour, um I hope I didn't talk too much crap, and um yeah let me know in the comments, if you enjoy it I enjoy talking cuz it, makes the road go a lot quicker I mean, feels like I just been I've been, chatting to you which is great um and if, you want more of this let me know okay, folks have a good one, cheers
They did a um, a behavioral study where a test you know, sometimes people test things and it, might seem a little bit cruel what they, did is they would take a, glass tube fill it with water halfway, and they would chuck a rat in the, water and let the rat swim until it, drowns and check how long it takes for, the rat to drown
Transcripts
of course another thing that we have to
speak about if you live in
Vancouver is nature and outdoor I mean
it is absolutely beautiful here um you
are going to get rain and you are going
to get snow and it is going to get cold
and you are going to get like gray
dreary days for weeks at a time but you
are also going to get absolutely
beautiful sunny days and there's just so
much beautiful nature over here here um
not that South Africa doesn't have I
mean South Africa has got some amazing
places I was watching um just before we
started our travels I actually
um just before we started our travels I
actually me and Belinda did a job there
in Cape Town in the Fain boss where we
uh for the Absa cap
epic um and I came across some videos of
the mountains there where we put up the
bers and waited for the cyclists and the
sunrise I mean it is absolutely stunning
so yes South Africa's got some amazing
places but over here there's
just I love it this is my kind of place
the big old growth forests the large
trees the water I love water it's um
it's just amazing and there's so much of
it and it's all around
you um so yeah that's great and we are
going to start this I'm going to make a
point of doing a lot more outdoorsy
stuff getting away from these screens
that I'm just like always in front
of go do stuff outside we're going to
have one at least one Community Bri a
month for the for the rest of this year
end of the story enough is
enough um and then we're going to start
setting up a couple of community Camp
trips we like get a bunch of people
together go camping so if you're in BC
and you want to join me to go camping
let me know we'll do one guys trip and
um maybe a family trip go camping for a
weekend we need to start booking um
campsites now
though anyway yeah so we're going to try
and get out a lot more that's definitely
on the cards it is beautiful beautiful
beautiful out
here and then of
course I mean the fact that we have
electricity all the
time that helps sorry safas I'm making a
joke about South Africa's rolling
blackouts just like still going on years
how how many years is it now it's more
than a I don't know it started in 2016
it stopped for a while and then it
started and I think it's been going for
more than a year solid although I think
over Christmas they didn't have my mom
was saying that it's like back again
with a vengeance every now and again
they had uh uh last week or the week
before they had us for one at they at
her house she had 5 and 1/2 hours off
three and 3 and 1/2 hours on 5 and 1/2
hours off 3 and 1/2 hours on 5 and 1/2
hours off 3 and 1/2 hours on that was
their cycle for a day or so so
um yeah that sucks I mean it's just
that's just not cool so over here things
work generally there are The Fringe
things that like We complain about but
you know
um everything else Works generally and
the cops the system the police also
sorry it's something I forgot when I
spoke about the crime you
know the cops actually they do stuff
they try things they they try and catch
the criminals and Y West Van they are
really good at it there's obviously the
little gray area of what happens with
the criminals once they catch them
because it's like Canada's Got The Catch
and Release system but um you know they
are working at that too they are busy
fixing it so they can try and avoid
those
things and what else is nice about
Canada well some people are going to
disagree with me here because I know not
everybody loves the US I like the US I
think the US is like the front end of
the world at this stage and maybe it
won't be forever but that's where all
the newest Tech comes out of that's
where all the newest amazing things
happens and it's right there it's right
here next to us I mean we can go to the
Boeing factory we can go to the Nike uh
head office we can go and visit places
there um we can go to Vegas we can go to
I mean it's all just hops keeping a jump
away whereas in South Africa we're at
the bottom end of the world should World
War three break out though South Africa
is probably a better place to be than
Canada or the us because all the bombs
are coming this way but for now this is
the cooler place to
be
um okay what else good can I say about
Canada I just I mean I I I enjoy it I
love it I can get anything oh I suppose
it's also got to do with the the the um
being close to the US it's like anything
you can think of that you can want you
can find it's
um it's just the way it is it's easy
you've got access access access I think
that's one of the key things access
access to Services access to to products
access to things that you don't
necessarily have access to when you're
in South Africa or you have access to
but it's much more expensive or much
more time consuming or you know there
accesses is a big
one
um
yeah I can see myself growing old in
Canada I
can there are issues like I said
but ah that's one of the good
things is
um there's hope and that's a big thing
there's hope in Canada you know um I am
unhappy with the carbon tax but I have
hope that we can get it changed the
people can vote in the next election and
select a different prime minister and we
can get it fixed
um when it comes to politics a place
where there's two parties that are close
to each other and oh hang on a second
guys I need to quickly take
this hello hi can you hear me all right
I can now sorry I'm I was just driving
so I put you on the Bluetooth no no
worries no worries at all I've just
received the uh referral for Connor to
have a hearing check here oh okay um can
I ask you a can you pH my wife she's the
one deals with that yep absolutely go
ahead and is that Belinda yeah Belinda
have you got a number there uh no this
is the only one I've got oh is it sorry
same as yours except for 6484 that is
correct Jay I will give Belinda a call
thank you so much you know she's in
charge of everything happy wife happy
life what can I say drive safe okay
thank you bye you're welcome bye
all right folks sorry just a call from
Vancouver Coastal Health they doing a
health hearing test on
Conor it is something that happens a lot
speaking about the medical over here is
um you've got uh
um you know they they call it
preventative medicine so the doctors
send you for tests all the time to go
and check out that you find and you like
a hearing test and um blood tests
regular and stuff like that so you
know Healthcare is definitely not as bad
as people make it out to be I mean you
obviously hear a lot of scary stories
but it's and and there are problems but
it's it's not problematic for me at this
stage I'll be I'll say
it anyway so where were we back to
politics and hope you know over here
there's there's a feeling of hope you
you you believe that um the people will
be heard if the people decide hey we're
not happy with this the people are heard
and the politicians listen and they make
change and that's what you get when you
have a number of parties that are
closely balanced if you have a onep
party State like we have in South Africa
thec is in charge and that's the way
it's going to be and they're not going
to lose um you know they don't
necessarily have to listen to the people
and they don't necessarily have to make
the changes you have you have zero hope
of things changing I guess and I'm sure
a lot of people are going to think I'm
crazy for saying that but that's just
the way I feel around it I'm open to
discussions I'm open to um
arguments but anyway that's the way I
see it um over here you've got the hope
and Hope's an important thing you know
that there's a uh they did a um
a behavioral study where a test you know
sometimes people test things and it
might seem a little bit cruel what they
did is they would take a
glass tube fill it with water halfway
and they would chuck a rat in the
water and let the rat swim until it
drowns and check how long it takes for
the rat to drown and this was done in
the' 60s or 7s or ' 80s I guess before
we had all the an cruelty people around
and um what happened was they would
throw the rat in the water and see how
long it swims and if they take a wild
rat and they Chuck it in the water the
rat would swim for a couple of hours 2 3
hours and they stop swimming and it
would Dr end of the
story but if they take a pet rat a tame
rat and they Chuck it in the water it
would swim like for I don't know it's
just like 2 days or something it would
actually a a a a domesticated rat a rat
that has had had uh interaction with
humans and that's been you know it's
it's probably not somebody's pet i' I
hope not but um in any case a rat that
knows humans um those rats would swim a
lot longer so they were like why is
that then they tried something else they
took the wild rats they would chuck them
in the in the glass in the thing and let
them swim and just when they are look
like they're tired they would pick them
up take them out put them somewhere else
um and then throw them back in a little
bit
later and if they throw them in the
second time that wild rat would also
swim for like days before he drowns for
a day or two he just carries on swimming
and they concluded that it's all got to
do with hope
the wild
rat that falls in the water and has to
start swimming around after a couple of
hours of not finding a place to climb
out because you got these steep glass
walls around you he basically goes okay
I fell in a place where I'm going
to die so it is it he resigns himself to
the fact that he's going to die and he
dies that's just it um the domesticated
rats
they know that yes they can still get
out of here because a human hand can
take them out of here they can be saved
and for that reason they hold on a lot
longer because they've got hope they
hope that somebody's going to come and
save them and the same thing if they
take the wild rat and they take him out
of the thing the first time and then
they put him back in he remembers that
he's that he could be taken out and that
gives him hope and hope is such an
important
thing it's actually across everything
across the whole across life I
guess something I started doing with my
kids recently is like I was realize that
you know we um I think as a civilization
or as a people and and I'm guilty of
that without a doubt
um we focus so much on the negative
stuff that I've got a feeling
that we are starting to lose
hope
um you know I see it in my kids I'm like
what are you going to do one day what do
you want to be and they're like oh I
don't know I don't know because you know
and this is I guess partly my fault
because I've been following artificial
intelligence development very closely
through the innovate and whatever and
um I you know it it scares the out
of me sorry for the word but it does uh
I know that AI is definitely coming for
our jobs and a lot of the normal jobs
that we have are going to be taken over
by AI but what happened was um from the
time Chad GPT came in I was speaking
about it quite often in the house and I
was talking to people about it and my
kids overheard it and then the other day
I'm talking to Connor and I'm like what
are you going to stay what are you going
to do and he's like oh well AI is going
to take our jobs any
anyway and I realized oh my oh you know
I I was taking away hope I was taking
away dreams of the
future um and and
and and um exchanging it for fear or for
negativity so I've tried doing it doing
away with that now I mean I still
believe AI is a problem but I am just
positioning it differently I'm just
saying that look AI is a problem for the
people that are not going to be ready
for it and for the ones that are going
to be ready for it it is going to be a
huge asset so this is what you got to do
you got to you got to work on figuring
out how you going to play it and I think
that works a little bit anyway once
again off topic the fact of the matter
is Hope is super
important
um and uh without
it that's when Things Fall
Apart so
um yeah that's the political that's what
we were talking about the political
system over here in politics we actually
have
hope we actually believe that uh just
let's just get to the next election we
can vote the next person in and he can
fix
it although sometimes I look at the US
politic politics um and I'm like oh my
Lord I don't know if anybody there has
any hope D it's like joke besides the
point let's not go
there okay and I'm actually getting very
close to home now let's see how much 46
minutes since I started this video so
there you go I'm literally about 50
minutes away from
um from the US
border the traffic is generally pretty
good just going through londsdale now
going to pass londsdale
shortly on the
highway it's uh it looks like a
beautiful day but it's got quite a big
cloud Bank over that side so it might
turn cloudy and rainy but for now it's
beautiful and
sunny tomorrow morning early we heading
over to Gabriola Island to go set up
this big boy this uh uh uh
dehydrator um yeah interesting I was
like I want to start looking into um I
want to start looking into uh uh uh uh
freeze
drying I was chatting because one when
know I speak to a lot of you know I
don't know I chat to
people so while I was loading the um
dehydrator in the car at the mail place
a lady came past and she's like oh
what's that is it a freeze dryer anyway
so we started chatting about it and I've
been looking into this freeze dryers
it's just damn expensive it's um like
$5,000 for a freeze dryer but it is such
a cool thing um so what we do with a
dehydrator is you dehydrate and you dry
stuff and you can dry fruits I mean we
use it for boltong but you can do fruits
and all kind kind of things a freeze
dryer works differently it flash freezes
the product and then it dries it as it
it defrosts it and as it defrosts it it
like evaporates all of the water out of
it so it's like 24 hours and you freeze
dry your
products and
then they say this lady was saying
because I saw it online and I was like
well I don't know and this lady started
chatting and she said her friend has got
a freeze dry
she says she freeze dry strawberries it
removes 97% of the
water and 6 months later you just Chuck
the strawberry in
water and it reabsorbs that water and
she says it tastes like a fresh
strawberry I'm still struggling to
believe that though I mean can it
but apparently when you freeze dry stuff
it actually keeps it almost fresh I mean
I saw this lady on YouTube she takes
like food she makes a meal she portions
it off and she sticks it in the freeze
dryer and she freeze dries her macaroni
and cheese or potato bake um and her ham
and everything and then she takes it out
of the freeze dryer when it's rock
hard and she
um and she uh adds water and it's just
like boom right back there again it's
ham again or it's a potato bake or it's
a it's just like it's I find it hard to
believe but it is a really cool thing
so maybe uh I'm going to start looking
into getting a freeze dryer they're just
damn expensive it's like
$5,000 but can you imagine I mean we'll
probably save all of that money and the
amount of food we could throw away
because you know how it goes man I like
it's a pet peeve of
mine we
um we make food or we buy
apples and suddenly everybody's eating
apples the kids love apples and I eat
apples and Melinda eat apples and the
apples just doesn't last and then we go
and we go buy another giant bag of
apples and next week nobody wants to eat
an apple and it all sits there until
they until we Chuck them because they go
bad and letters and so many other things
that just kind of waste and food you
know we make food I we make food for
everybody and then the kids decide oh
I'm not hungry cuz I got a pizza or I
went out with my mats or whatever and
I'm not hungry and then they don't eat
and then the food goes in the fridge and
then there's too little for tomorrow
night's meal so we need to make more
food but nobody wants to eat leftovers
it's just we throw away so much stuff
I'm sitting there thinking hm I'm just
going to damn well make a bunch of stuff
and freeze dry the lot and then when
you're hungry you just add water doesn't
that seem like a
plan and of course you
know can you imagine if your fruits and
veggies if you freeze dry them and if
you add water they just as good as they
were before which is what they claim
it's almost as if you have a fresh
strawberry um um we can in summer when
strawberries are cheap and veggies are
cheap everything is cheap you just buy
all of the stuff stick them in the
freeze
dryer and store them and in winter when
every when people pay like $20 for a
little watermelon this size you just
pull yours out of the freeze dryer add
water and you got a watermelon I don't
know if any of you have had um
experience with freeze dryers but it
seems very um interesting
I would actually love to taste some
stuff that's gone through a freeze dryer
so if you know anybody that has one um
Bing me I I'd be very interested to have
a look at
it always make and sell survival kit
eh hey I can buy a freeze dryer put it
in South Africa let my mom make me milk
T and all of the nice South African
goodies and then ship it over here
freeze
dried
stays good
forever they say stuff that's been
freeze DED just as a matter of Interest
stuff that's been freeze drri can
last for up to 25 years you just add
water and it works
again so that's interesting anyway um
here I am back at uh west van so I'm
going to sign off folks 52 minutes 53
minutes there we go exactly 5 we'll be
55 minutes I'll be at home so an hour
yeah an
hour
um I hope I didn't talk too much crap
and um yeah let me know in the comments

makes the road go a lot quicker I mean
feels like I just been I've been
