Nothing makes you feel more American than celebrating American day outside of America.
That was very Americaning
Indeed
Sticking out like a sore thumb, u wanna blend in
@@danrook5757 sticking out is the best way to blend in. Everyone has cultural expectations from you if you try to blend in. Stick out and everyone lets it slide and thinks it's funny cause you're just a dumb foreigner.😂
As long as you're not disrespectful of course.
I grew up on a fruit farm. Fruits with a solid skin (apples, pears, peaches, plums etc) can be washed with a small amount of dish soap and then very much water. Soaking fruit with solid skins in water that is 20% vinegar also kills bacteria. But rinsing with water being poured over will only remove dust or mild dirt. Soft berries such as raspberries and strawberries should not ever be soaked as they begin to disintegrate. Every state has different regulations on which type of sprays are allowed on fruit. Some farmers use soap based sprays which rinse off in the rain.
If you are very concerned about such things, research the spray regulations in the place where you live, or buy organic. When we picked raspberries, before eating them fresh we would turn them over and look inside the cup to see if there was a small bug because they often find a hiding place there. If Strawberries have some dirt on them, rinse quickly and eat immediately. But out in the field we would often eat while we were picking, and as long as we examine the fruit closely first before putting in our mouth, we have no problems.
Nice to watch the other side of this conflict where people still living thei lives as normal human beings. Hope next years we can see this in all Ukraine, Crimea included!
As a second (late) shift worker, I celebrated July 4th week by working and watching my favorite TH-camrs enjoy their time.
Happy 4th!
I live near the shore of Lake Michigan, feels like the ocean. You cannot see across the lake, nice sandy beaches, huge waves. I have been to the ocean, feels similar. It is approximately 307 miles long and 118 miles across at it's widest point, average depth is 279' at it's deepest is 925' it is shared by Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin . Love the shorts!
Thank you so much for showing my lovely city to the world!!! while I can't go there:((( Miss beautiful Kyiv, amazing people, delicious food!
I live in Michigan. We are surrounded by 4 of the 5 Great Lakes, so both of our large peninsulas are surrounded by primarily beach coast property, with a few rocky areas and a few wetlands. When we are at the Lake it does look like the sea, and sometimes we accidentally call it the ocean or the sea. The Great Lakes are so large they make their own weather, and they’re much larger than some bodies of water that have Sea in the title. You can drive along the coast for hundreds of miles, and even in central lower Michigan you’re not more than 90 minutes from a Great Lake. I invite you to come explore Michigan, especially Up North, along Lakes Michigan and Superior, and our Upper Peninsula of which a large portion remains in its natural condition by being State and National Forest or Park lands. ✋🏽💙🌲🌊🌅
From the mitten state as well I can vouch!!!! 100% correct.
Happy july 4th for you Americanos ❤. Greetings from Norway
Happy Independence Day to all Americans
Jonny FD, eating his way around the world. If it's edible, he'll eat it.
2:26 “you’re like a babushka, you never take the drink in the front” 😂
Happy 4th of July! I hope Ukraine will get rid of the invaders soon. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦
Yes Johnny I’m from Rochester ny in the Great Lakes region and we are all doing BBQ as I write this on Lake Ontario! Very much ocean feels because it’s so huge just no salt water or sharks! Lol and if you said that’s where you were I probably wouldn’t have thought twice about it! Trees and man made beaches look almost identical. Happy fourth to all the lovely Ukrainians out there!!!!! Freedom to Ukraine!!!!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh cool! Thanks for the insight!
@@JohnnyFD anytime Johnny! Love your videos thank you for responding back!
It's inspiring watching the profound defiance of daily life in Kyiv. Residents refusing to be defeated by fear.
A beautiful day in Kyiv, Johnny, picnicking with good friends. 🌻🌻
Happy 4th of July!
🇺🇲🇺🇦
Happy 4th, hopefully all of Ukraine can get its freedom back🇺🇦🌻🕯🇺🇲🍻
Украине выпала честь быть в составе России

Makes me happy that the people at that beach were able to forget about the war if ever so briefly and enjoy a sunny afternoon. My heart goes out to everyone in that video who have lost friends or loved ones in this terrible conflict.
Thanks James!
@@JohnnyFD make me happy to see you healthy and alive --- are you back in your home - everything cleaned?
Thanks Johnny. What a shame of this stupid war. Hope it ends soon..... places like this should never be destroyed. Ukraine is stunning!
Happy 4th of July 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thanks for your supporting of 🔵🟡
I have lived in both Los Angeles and St. Louis. I go to a lake in Southern Illinois, and it does have sandy swimming beaches. Also in the Ozarks of southern Missouri there are lots of beaches along the streams where people go on weekends. Most are gravel but there are some sandy places. Some people are surprised to learn that Mississippi has snow-white sandy beaches, although the water is a bit murky due to the outflow from the Mississippi River I think----not as clear blue-green as the gulf coast of Florida. My cousins have a condo at Gulf Shores, Alabama, which is a rapidly-growing beach town.
Thanks for the insights =)
I love GS/Orange Beach
Happy 4th of July johnny Fd and I hope you are fighting for ukraine no matter what fight for freedom fight for family fight for america 🇺🇸 and fight for ukraine 🇺🇦
Thank you for sharing Kyiv experiences with us.
Happy Independence day USA!! Big up for supporting democracy abd helping Ukraine!!
I live in Chicago and yes, I can confirm that the Chicago coastline feels like a vast ocean. I know a few surfers in northern Indiana and western Michigan who prefer surfing in the great lakes over California.
Johnny you hit it on the nail, long ago I worked at a Hospital and a young man did just what your talking about. Jumping off a road the kids broke his neck, they needed us to log roll the guy on the table, we got to watch him cut into the guys back, then into the spine. The kid mad it back to full recover, but like you I bet he learned the hard way.
North Florida Pensacola, Gulf Breeze area has white sand and clear ocean water like a swimming pool. Very nice.
Sounds great!
Confirmed. The great lakes have fantastic beaches, many miles long. And pure clean fresh water.
As someone who goes to the great lakes yes you are correct. It does feel like an ocean considering you cant even see the other side and the waves are pretty big too.
Reminds me of a great time i had 20 yrs ago in Hungary doing things like that with friends. Katya reminds me of the girl i was with so even more so.
I live in Ohio USA. I live ten minutes from the shore of Lake Erie. You cannot see the Canadian shore from here. It definitely feels like an ocean without the depth
A little splash of water is not going to wash off pesticides. If anything you added more contaminates from your plastic bottled water. Love from northern cali!
God bless the Ukrainian people and the soldiers helping them
Helping them against what?
We all know how this will all end up
One nation will divided into 2 states just like Korea
@@user-mf5ue6rc5nAFU will liberate all cities of Ukraine 🇺🇦 soon including Crimean.
@@sergeorlov keep dreaming
So nice to see the beauty of Ukraine other than the horrors of war. ❤ I am guilty of not being able to pinpot Ukraine on a map before the invasion...it's gorgeous and the people seem so great would love to visit some day! Happy 4th!!!
Depends on whether the berries are Organic or not. And some of the comments you have made led me to believe that you color your views of U.S. by your experience in California. Ukraine reminds me of life in the Midwest. And yes the Great Lakes feels like being at the ocean, but no sharks.😊
I'm in Illinois. We have huge dunes in the south along Indiana and there is usually rocks on an endless view of the lake. No tides or sea creatures, just cold water and strong wind. I grew up in Seattle and it's not even close to the Sea. The Sea is alive and our very source of life yet we destroying it and half the fish had been taken by China already. I miss the Ocean.
Johnny, happy fourth!🇺🇲😊😼
Yes I live in Chicago, we have beaches around lake Michigan feels very beachy. But its much more beachy feel up in Michigan dunes , big hills of sand water clearer there too. Lake superior probably most beachy feel only seen pictures gorgeous up north there
10:53 raspberries become tasteless after washing if there is a little water left on them
I'm from Michigan and just went to Ludington to Lake Michigan def feels like an ocean beach..
Like Michigan does indeed feel like an ocean except the waves are smaller and the water feels like you're in a huge bathtub. Like an ocean the water goes out beyond the horizon. So when you're on the beach half the horizon is taken up by water.
Hey Jonny that's what I been doing. Driving around the US documenting rural America. I love it.
This 4th of July I went to see my family, we grilled by the poolside in FL and I think I set a new record for how much time I was in the water. And there was an insane thunderstorm in the middle of it all but it was a great day. Glad you had fun Johnny
Nice day for all of you. In the UK, most people would wash fruit too, just to rinse off any residual pesticides.
In Ukraine I wouldn't worry about chemicals on their fruit, Johnny. That's one of the many reasons they're more healthy than us!
I never bother with washing fruit when I buy it from reputable shop on the road for a picnic. It's only about pesticide residues so buy organic and it's fine. Also even pesticide residues are at 'acceptable levels' for safety and you would need a huge amount to get ill.
Sorry Johnie, as an Australian, that is not a beach 😂
Yes Johnny, I was raised on Lake Michigan. There’s sand dunes in Indiana and Michigan and there’s a lot of sand. It looks like a sea rather than a Lake. You should come to visit.
God bless America! And Dnipro beaches too!)))
Happy 4th! I live on the shores of Lake Michigan on the Wisconsin side. Beautiful hues of blue water, Beautiful sandy beaches and yes feels like you are on the shores of an ocean or sea. Summers are awesome!
I think Ukraine independence day will be one of the most celebrated days in all of Europe and the West we will be waiting for that day of freedom and no Russian occupation god bless ukraine and glory to the heros💙💛🔱💪🙏
If you want to see a Northeast Ohio beach just watch any of the D Day War re-enactments Conneaut, Ohio. There is also a sandbar there between a half mile -mile out that the water is only ankle deep sometimes. Then if a person feels ice cold water they should turn back because it drops off and people have died in the turbulent underflow under the water. You can't see it from above. Pretty much the beaches between Cleveland Ohio and Erie Pa are like that. Some have breakwalls to prevent erosion.
Happy Independence Day to all Americans from a Ukrainian!!!!!!!!
Happy 4th of July from Huntington Beach California Johnny! This is my Ukrainian wife’s first 4th in the United States, about to hit the parade in H.B.🎉!
Love watching your videos!!! they are so relaxing
looks like the shores of Lake Ontario near Toronto😎Happy 4th Johnny🎉
There is big beaches in Duluth on lake superior that go for miles in Minnesota were you can see ships that feel like your on the ocean. There is even beaches on little small lakes In mn land of 10,000 lakes but you have to remember in the summer now you can get swimmers itch real bad in the lakes unless there spring fed. Alot of berries like raspberries, blueberries, highbush cranberries and a few other berries I eat right off the plant in the woods and don't wash them I feel washing them is only personal preference but I guess if there store bought and shipped in I'd say wash them For chemicals but if they were picked fresh off the plant I wouldnt. Johhny someday you should visit minnesota up in the north woods it's a diffrent world from southern Minnesota were minneapolis is up north is living more off the land fish small game venison homemade cooking. Country living there is alot of older houses that seem like Ukrainian country homes were we use curtains for doors and woodstoves to heat.
Good insights thanks!
I flew over Chicago and saw Lake Michigan a couple of years ago. I definitely looks like an ocean. Stay safe everyone.
johnny your not in the US now,,, most of the world doesn't use agent orange on bloody raspberry.... i make wine out of my home grown ones though,, its good stuff.... i like the choice of beers, sounded right up my street,,,,,, what i Love most here is seeing life goes on.... its beautiful to see
Being from Michigan I can confirm the Great Lakes are huge. Basically inland seas.
Having only grown up on the east coast of the U.S. and not very familiar with lakes, I would think that unlike beaches, lakes lack waves. Oh, and perhaps salt water beaches compared to fresh water in lakes (non-salty). Just my opinion. Regarding washing the fruits, you are correct about pesticides and other chemicals back in the U.S. I don't know if Ukraine also uses chemicals, or even if those fruits came from Ukraine. Another great video, Johnny! Thank you! And happy Independence Day to you and yours! Slava Ukraini !
Lake Superior has waves as high as any ocean. Technically it's an inland sea. The shore is sandy beaches, up to 500' cliffs to rocky shore. They surf on Superior! Ever heard of the Edmond Fitzgerald?
Happy July 4th Johnny and friends. 😊
The beaches of the Great Lakes (especially the large ones of which are up to 6 miles or 10 kilometres long) are literally no different than being on a similarly sandy beach that’s ocean side in places elsewhere on the planet, with the exception of a few key takeaways… Those being the lack of tropical vegetation (things like palm trees) and that it’s all fresh (not salty) water!! Oh, and that the water temperature isn’t always as warm due to having seasons… Otherwise they’re quite idyllic and massively popular destinations in the summertime!
Happy 4th of July. Happy Bday to America. Have fun Johhyn. Enjoy ur self
Have a Happy 4th of July weekend Johnny 🎆💕🇺🇲y'all have fun 💕😘
Hi Johnny, I live in the Toronto beaches on Lake Ontario. Beautiful beaches and boardwalk. Watched the fireworks and lit drone show there July 1st there 🇨🇦. Also has amazing parks backing it. Enjoy July4th!
Been living in the US for 25 years now, you always wash/rinse the fruit. However, I grew up in Poland and we didn’t wash fruit, also just like u mentioned, the tomatoes were soooo much better in Europe, they actually tasted sweet like fruit which they are! In the US it’s considered a vegetable, few people know that it’s a fruit, and it’s all because of the extensive use of chemicals in US.
I'd wash them for various reasons but I know it wont wash any chemicals off that might have been sprayed on the plant before the berries formed.
I faced the same dilemma today. Wash the blueberries or not? I chose not. 8 hours in and I feel fine.
wonderful johnny in celebrating 4th de july in a country being torn apart by russkys is amazing it seems life is normal as it is knowing that in far north war is heavy and casualties are being evac any minute but you guys are sitting and enjoying your meal..hope those guys too out there can celebrate too.
Indeed the great lakes are full of major Beaches like the ocean just better than the salty sand bro have a great 4th JD.
Enjoying this video. Reminds me of my trips to Lake Michigan. several years ago. Been to lakes and the Oceans. I've bee on both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and also the Gulf of Mexico. Only went into the Atlantic. The Pacific waters were too cold as was the Gulf. I like the oceans better than lakes because there is more sand and more room for people who like to set up chairs and towels. I prefer swimming pools, because I can see what my feet are standing, and there is no chance of riptides and undertow.
Happy 4th, Johnny! 🇺🇸
Happy 4th of July. Be safe. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve stayed in Duluth MN on Lake Superior a few times and the lake is so big it does have a mild tide. Surprised me! Oh the strength of Sister Moon! Lake Superior is also the tomb of a big shipwreck. So it may be freshwater but it behaves like a little ocean 😊
Happy 4th of July, Johnny!
Happy Belated 4th Johnny to you and your friends
Some windy summer days in Duluth MN, Lake Superior has huge waves and people will surf it. Just a lake....but the largest lake in the US. Great looking picnic lol but always wash the ftuit....😂
Actually Johnny the best way to wash the residue off of fruit is with baking soda and water but that is something you do at home since it will take more water to get the soda off.
If you want to wash your fruits you need to use hot water and rinse them very well... this putting them into a puddle of little bit of water wont do much, its just for you to feel better about it. So yes I choose unwashed fruits because such washing is just pointless (:
Great to see the lovely Kat again ^_^
Lake Superior is actually an inland sea.
Happy 4th my brother. Legend
Great video Johnny!. If you travel back to the US, consider Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Navarre beaches!. Beautiful, and less crowded. The Panhandle is beautiful, and less populated than Central Florida!. Driving in Central Florida is similar to driving in LA gridlock! Enjoy the weekend holiday! I travel to Gulf Breeze Florida often.
Thanks for the tips! I actually looked into real estate in Pensacola and did some research on that city. It's surprisingly affordable there still for a beach town.
Add Orange Beach and Gulf Shores :)

Happy 4th of July !!!
When my family and I go to Lake Michigan a few times a summer it feels and looks like the ocean!!!! Love the content keep up the great work. Much love from Indiana. If you ever come to the states come to Indiana we can go canoeing do all kinds of stuff.
I hate crowded beaches. Luckily I have one to be alone there to swim.
Thank you for posting this remind me of home
Happy 4th 🎉
Happy Independence Day to you too! I had hot dogs, macaroni salad, chips and Sunkist (real treats!) and now we wait for the MDR fireworks show. But honestly, it’s kinda been there done that, so you’re not missing much. 🎉😊

Happy 4th ever one
Don’t ever eat laying done if food get logged in ur lungs u can die. Always sit up.
🎉 happy Fourth of July bro 🎉🇺🇸... JJ.. Jonjon...
I live in the Adirondack mts of NY Johnny and it's like that all over the place here. Many many beaches, some of them more rocky than others but usually sand and BBQs! And I wash all store fruit... Who knows what's on it 🤷♂️
I live in Chicago - it feels like the ocean
I wash it all unless it says "prewashed" on the package.
To be safe wash all fruit, put in a large seive, place in a bowl then a table spoon of baking soda and applecider vinegar. Stir it around in this solution well, lift sive/screen out of bowl and run clean water over the fruit, shake it a little. Then pour it into a clean container and cover with a lid or suran wrap. This will nutralize any chemical sprays. The chemical sprays are oil based, this solution should nutralize any spray. Use the ripe fruit as soon as possible for freshness.
