Sweet. There's a lot going on there, starting with the flagging on the keyring, and the rum in the chainsaw.

And the nails in the tree/notice not driven home?

@daryl-moistner

Not everyone may be aware that most of that drive is through Canada. Which is closed to international travel.

I don't want to speak for Daryl, but, in my experience:

  • I try to put flagging on pretty much everything I take out into the field with me; makes it easier to find, when dropped.
  • I'm pretty sure that was gas in a rum bottle...
  • The tree grows, the nails stay put, and the tree will push the tag to the heads of the nails before swallowing it up.

Great video, and, once again, a good soundtrack!

Thanks

Like others (I'm sure) when I watch your videos I hate myself for sitting in the office, looking at spreadsheets, accounting reports and taking folks out to lunch in hopes I may get awarded another road topo, or a huge stakeout job that I wont get to work on, or could care less about.

Thank you for sharing your journeys with us! Now where is my tie...

Even if you make 1,000 miles a day it's a 2-day trip.?ÿ How do you eat??ÿ Where do you sleep?
