Channel Update: Moving to Southern California

Next week my wife and I are moving to Southern California - north of Los Angeles to be closer to family and friends. We grew up in California and left 50+ years ago. I will return to making videos after we are settled - in a few months. They will blend old-school hiking and camping with the newest video technology including 360 degree cameras.
In the 1960s, my twin, Russel and I did not camp in tents or hammocks, but rather slept directly on the ground, bivouac style. We wore heavy boots and canvas leggings, to protect against cactus thorns and rattlesnakes. I look forward to camping this was again, since this style camping is well suited to warm, dry climates. Stay tuned for future videos. I’ve attached one of my videos from a few years ago, about adapting old-school bivouac camping to the 21st century. Enjoy.
Please be respectful in your comments. This channel is about hiking, camping, bushcraft and the wonder and the awe of nature. One playlist includes videos about my family and hobbies. Folks watch my videos to learn, relax, have fun and experience the outdoors. Many of my videos are used for educational purposes in nature centers, state parks and schools. Please avoid controversial, argumentative comments. This is not a good place to discuss human social problems, government and politics.

Best wishes for a smooth move to California Ken. I hope the new owner of your old home will care for the wildlife and nature there they way you have. Sandy
@KennethKramm
@KennethKramm 3 года назад
Thanks Sandy. Much appreciated. The HOA board is discussing how they will continue care of the natural area next our houses. I am confident it will remain and even become more beautiful. When I had the area certified as "Best In Texas" by the National Wildlife Federation and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.... the award and certification went to the Home Owners Association. The paperwork states that having a natural area like this increases everyones property value. So it is in the best interest of this community to continue this. After all, we sold both houses in less than 8 hours after they went on the Market...l The HOA Board recognizes this.... I have also taught the neighbors how to care for the wildscape, Deb and I are looking forward to the next chapter in life's adventure. Peace

This brought back a lot of memories. I used to spend days out on the San Jacinto in that area...and never see another person or man made structure. I would sometimes find artifacts along the river where the bank cut into the higher ground. Hate to see you leave Texas, and wish you all the best in your journey. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work! P.S. I'll watch over the woodpeckers while you're gone.

I am really surprised at this move, Ken, but I understand the lure of wanting to live here or there. There are many places in our country, and even around the world, that are really beautiful and make you want to pull up a chair and stay a while. Good luck with your move, and if you use a moving company, make sure you document and number each and every box - lots of thieves in the moving business. I'd say keep your favorite things with you in your vehicle while going to destination B, because that way if anything does go missing, it will at least not be among those most cherished items. Things are just things, but it could be a family heirloom, a favorite knife, or your precious walking stick you got as a gift that one year. All the best from New England.

I wish I could have met you if I was still living there Kenneth as it would have been great to take you to the great Redwoods in Santa Cruz mountains or beaches of Monterey and Carmel or even the High Sierras up north. I wish you the best of luck and stay safe my friend.

You are absolutely correct about moving. I'm not young any more move slowly.... but I still enjoy rock scrambling.... but much slower. I keep thinking about an older gentleman I met a few years ago.

Living in SoCal for almost 20 years now, I will say it's not worth being out here. Our local mountains are grossly overcrowded, graffiti everywhere, only a very few areas have water year-round, wildfires are getting worse each year, more restrictions are being placed because of the fire dangers, chaparral environment is too hot in the summer. I often find myself driving further away from SoCal every trip just to experience more meaningful outdoor nature connections. Not to mention all of the other terrible non-nature issues you will find in SoCal. Do what you think is best, but this my opinion is to find a different area to live to enjoy more warm/dry climates. Wish you luck.
