    James, I'd swear you were an engineer in a previous life 😎👍 if I believed in previous lives.
    Really appreciate the technical breakdown and the heritage of this knowledge.
    This reminds me of another gift from our distant ancestors, maize. Many thousands of years ago, corn yielded almost no food. The North American inhabitants worked with it over many centuries to slowly change it into the very productive crop that feeds so many people today.
    Truly a gift from prehistory.

    The Philippines boat makers many years ago never buy epoxy to seal the boats. They made their own sealer from the sap of the tree called balaw and salong cooked together. My father used to sell the raw materials of balaw and salong. The balaw is liquid and it's sold by container. The salong are like harden wax and it's sold by sacks. The Philippines boat makers many years ago hardly buy materials. They simply use anything they can get from nature even paint brushes are made out of coconut palm. We had a big huge boat made from wood that carries tons of logs from Mindanao to Cebu. My father used to be the biggest logs and lumber supplier in Cebu and Bohol. All the shipyards in Cebu used magkono logs as drydocks.

    In N Samar, I’ve seen boats in high seas full of water and 3 guys paddling them back home. Amazing how strong the boats are and how they will not sink with the out riggers. So nice to riding those home and seeing dolphins swimming next to you.

    I feel safer in these bancas they can take water but would not sink and rarely flip over. Something they never mentioned about the advantage of solar is that you will never be afraid of buying all these electric stuff to make your life more convenient. Wonderfful episode

    That was pretty interesting about the boats. I could smell the food from here 😊 I could definitely hang out at the waterfall. Please check your Messenger, I have a serious question that I'd like your advice about.

    Hey Po id feel at home in that belly lineup at the end of this vedieo cuz bawahahahaha. I see your giving that grill a good breaking in brother. Hey have you had any problems with food sticking at all ??? My grill is a slick black finish that looks like yours but if i have the heat turned up high some foods will stick on mine i was just wondering . Interesting info on the boats hey you know the American Indians used canoes in early days made out of 1 piece big logs then ive seen some that had a frame work with skins or hides covering it . Peace out Kuya & Mabuhay 😊
