Even though I come to see the camera, I genuinely enjoy your life updates before you start; it’s very refreshing and interesting! I wish you and your family well.
I remember the Canon RP from when I was buying my first new camera around 1962, It was a solid camera. However, cameras coming out with a dedicated lens mount, then being abandoned in the next model which orphaned lenses was a big issue back then. Nikon pledged to keep the F-mount compatible for a long time (and more than kept its word in fact). Canon made this series for several years, then changed models and abandoned the R mount, leaving owners high and dry for further lenses (of which there were few anyway). This was before the days where there were independent lens makers retailing cross-brand lenses, so Canon owners got screwed good. Canon did the same thing several more times over the years, which IMO was a major factor in Nikon getting all of the pro business during the 1960s and '70s, and Canon not measuring up to "also ran" status for a decade. (I'd say that Pentax and Minolta were the preferred systems after Nikon at that time.)
I found my RP at Hard Off for ¥500 and it's one of my favorites now. Being left-eye dominant, the winding mechanism is a godsend. I'm always on the lookout for another!
Please, keep straight to the point. I came here for camera review, I'm not interested in your skiing experience. For 4 minutes you were raving about random things, not connected to the topic you're covering in this video. For anyone interested, his review part starts at 4:12.

I just wonder- you said that no other finder exists to the original CanonFlex - I have one magnifying view finder.

This camera became famous in the movie about Fantômas
Looks very much like Leica SL
I’m the complete opposite. I look forward to winter.

If your time is so valuable, surely TH-cam isn't the best place to be spending it.
