Thats why I wear long pants and 6 inch hiking shoes. There are shoes and pants that you can tie off.

@journeymantraveller3338 26 дней назад

Gaiters. long pants, long sleeved shirts, french foreign legion hats because they'll get down your back, DEET, fingerless mitts and trekking poles. Doing good mileage. Sounds a bit like a spider bite. They can weep and be itchy. Leave a white mark on the skin when healed over. Small snake might have been a white lipped. I've seen them on the track around Sealers to Refuge.

In the Venezuelan jungle in Canaima National Park you can also find water with that "ice tea" color from the "taninos" produced by the leaves and natural deposits in the river. It is also safe to drink and it has an amazing effect on your hair when you bathe in the river. Your hair feels smooth like you used a ton of conditioner. Does it have the same effect over there?

Shingles can be a bugger, I had a case when I was 50 that lasted almost 2 years, very painful at times and itchy too. Good luck you'll have a mild case.

Who's the lady And thanks for bringing us with you on your adventures in the great land down under .

Beautiful scenery. Looking forward to more videos from your trip. I’m glad leeches aren’t much of a problem in the US. I think I would have nightmares.

Absolutely gorgeous area - reminds me a lot of la jolla

@mugumyapaultheafricannomad9488 2 года назад

U can tell that Australia wild is different from what I have seen anywhere in Africa here. This is my bucket list. Thanks Dan

@happycamper1687 2 года назад

I loved the music that you scored it with Dan, particularly at the beginning. It reminded me of Philip Glass score to Koyaanisqatsi. Also a wonderful chronicle of your hike!

@seichodan 2 года назад

Dan! Great seeing you out on adventures in such beautiful surroundings as we are on the precipice of long slog through a gray New England winter - Be Safe and Be Healthy!

Dude, I had shingles when I was about 30 and it was one of the worst medical experiences of my life! Some people describe it like being on fire since it attacks your nerves. Anyway, glad you had an easy time of it. And to be honest, it was bad for me but I've been lucky to avoid breaking any bones or getting really sick. I still have a big scar on my forehead to remind me...

@adamj1299 2 года назад

Ah B1 and B2 - Blowy and Beautiful....Best of luck with the skin !

@mdiddio Год назад

I half jokingly say this, but perhaps the bloodletting from the leeches offset the shingles. Leeches have been used for centuries, and one use is for shingles. I'm skeptical myself about bloodletting as a cure, but it was my first thought. Lol.

@almamdani6564 2 года назад

Great episode ! Thank you for not making leaches the clickbait tile. 😂

@questioner1596 2 года назад

The deadly critter count - you were in a parking lot full of possibly lethal 4000 lb critters. They are relatively harmless when resting, but sometimes parasites climb in and cause them to move in unpredictable ways.

@rael6_4wd 2 года назад

What a beautiful place. I hope your case of shingles doesn’t get any worse. Looking forward to the next video.

So beautiful Dan. I'm planning to do some hiking down there this summer!!

@justintime8 2 года назад

I'm the only person in my family who has not had shingles yet. Youngest to get them was 13 and oldest was 37.

I feel like you had more danger already in Australia vs your while trip in Africa hahahaha

@buffalo4127 2 года назад

Dan, how about some sea foraging? Clams, etc?

@johnfitzgerald5158 2 года назад

Amazing how the leaches made it right through the socks. I got destroyed by chiggers this past summer in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. That was a first for me. The tracks through there have tons of bog holes, so not so practical to cover up completely. Lots of wading to hook up straps or pull winch. There's a section of tall grasses where I helped to tug out a couple vehicles. I learned the hard way that is where chiggers deposit their eggs. It's their miniscule larvae that attack you and burrow into your skin for a feast. feels and looks like you have chicken pox, and they like to go up under your shorts and take hold near your privates...not fun.

@overlandsubaruinternationa2378 2 года назад

Nice as usual just to let you know I'll post a video every friday noon at eastern time I hope to see you there

@utahjohnnymontana3373 2 года назад

You're the second youtoober with shingles today....Luke at the Outdoor Gear Review said he just had it. What is it with the oceans in Australia? They're just over the top beautiful! Its that travel brochure/club med blue. Around here (CA, USA) the ocean looks greenish grey. Not that I'm complaining ;)

@calsurflance5598 2 года назад

I’ve had Shingles twice. It’s a total bugger. Extremely painful! Also contagious. The color of the ocean in contrast with the white sandy beach was amazing. How were the waves? You’ll have to formally introduce your lady friend.

@cliffoflancing 2 года назад

Please introduce your Lady friend, so far we have only met her back side, she is a rock star also. I have really enjoyed your videos thanks.

@Onward4x4 2 года назад

WOW... The ocean is just gorgeous!! What's the water temperature--as of curious?

@logik1677 9 месяцев назад

great vid, quick question, the shirt ur wearing is that TRCM shirt? or another?

@TheRoadChoseMe 9 месяцев назад

Just a generic. I'm working on getting a store online and shirts will be an option!

@overlandsubaruinternationa2378 2 года назад

I pump to go back in OZ

@PeterDays1973 2 года назад

Did you have a very stressful event during your trip or hike? In my experience shingles surface shortly after a big event of some kind

@GATORADDAM 2 года назад

That might be the covid vaccine coming out of you!......... Don't be afraid to show some of the cooking and lunch and sleeping setups. The scenery is great, but I've been to areas of California and Oregon that looked much like that. Well, no orange water. The gear you take hiking might be interesting. Some nighttime views. Did you have a campfire? Can you have a campfire on the beach there? Will any kind of repellent keep the leaches off? You're passing on the interesting stuff.

@TheRoadChoseMe 2 года назад

No fires allowed in the national park.

You need to explain to your girlfriend. The girlfriend of a rockstar is also a rockstar. She cannot hide from the camera. Let’s get her involved. 😻🙀🤦‍♂️
