Agreed! This is on par with the Tasting History with Max Miller TH-cam channel. First time I saw one of his videos I thought, this is PBS worthy production and research!
This was so well done!! It really looks like a million subscriber quality video. Amazing work!!! The background music is perfect, as well as your editing. I'm really enjoying these types of educational videos :). It sucks that you don't have more subscribers. That's just crazy!
Just found your account today and can say that I got stuck from the first video (Bonsai) and just keep loving the rest! Amazing info, amazing edits and amazing personality! Keep doing what you doing cuz it's one of the more impressive channels I've seen! All love and respect for what you doing! 🙏🏾🔥
you are incredibly good at explanations! i bet a sizable percentage of the people that go missing in national forests/parks were led astray by misinformation or incomplete information. i really appreciate the very complete explanations of these phenomena! explaining when it doesn't work is so important and i feel like hardly anyone does that for much of anything
Thanks! Whenever I'm with my siblings, I always test them to see if they know where north is wherever we go haha. Spacial awareness is so important, and the more confident you feel in your environment, the further you're willing to push yourself
The sun always rises in the west and sets in the east, unless your super far north or south. It’s the easiest way to simply look up, remember it’s morning, and know that the sun is in the west.
bro the sun rises in the east. What does the idiom the sun rises in the west mean? Meaning: When people say this, they mean that they don't expect something to happen.
I saw your bonsai torture video and loved it and subscribed and now I’m watching all of your videos man! You are very interesting and entertaining! I hope your channel blows up and you get millions of subscribers! You deserve it for putting in all this work! Thanks for the info!
So what im hearing is so long as your in the northern hemisphere there should be more moss on the northern side, if there is moss everywhere then its gunna point everywhere 🤣🤣
ok, im not finished with the video yet, but: one thing you can use to understand directions is that the sun more or less always rises in the east and sets in the west. it's a little off and varies by how much it's off based on the time of year, and it is by-far the most off if you are _very_ north or _very_ south of the equator. but, for the most part, on average, it's close enough to be reliable.
Why you don’t have so many subscribers? Im surprised. I didn’t noticed it, you’re videos are so premium. You’ll have so many subscribers soon. Im sure.
I am always amused when I hear the tall tale that moss only grows on the north side of trees. Apparently, in the Pacific Northwest we have a lot of trees who think they live on the South Pole.😂 I am curious how this video goes. (I only got 45 seconds in before I needed to make my comment, because I know he is going to give good information and I didn't want to forget my comment before I was distracted by some good good knowledge.)
What a gem of a channel, exactly the kind of content I've been looking for. Thank you for making this kind of information so digestible. New subscriber and I'm telling everyone I know about this channel.
I want to learn backpacking but I dont like people and more fearing of meeting people in the wilderness. Ok, I go back to sandbox games in my pretend forests :
Hi! I just tried looking it up and I couldn't find any research specifically saying coniferous trees pointing towards prevailing winds. Can you please elaborate? I am familiar with trees pointing away from winds, which is common to see among flexible trees like aspen
This is the most professional editing I've seen on a YT video. I feel like I'm watching an educational show on PBS. Great stuff!
Wow, thank you so much. Thanks the dream 🙏🏾
@@TheBackpackingBiologist Hope it happens! Best wishes from the Philippines! 😊

You haven’t seen many TH-cam videos huh?

You're the best! Thanks for supporting the channel. The subs will come eventually, I have some really cool vids lined up :)

Thanks so much brotha! I appreciate you, and thanks for watching!
Love all the effort that went into this: perfect combo of knowledge, videography, and spicy editing! Subscribed ✨
thanks so much!

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it
Same reason here
I use the sun. Works pretty much everywhere in the world, so long as I know what hemisphere I'm in.
Thanks, very informative. You deserve more views.
Thank you! I'll get there eventually :)
So what im hearing is so long as your in the northern hemisphere there should be more moss on the northern side, if there is moss everywhere then its gunna point everywhere 🤣🤣

how dont you have more subscribers, this content has better quality than 99% of any big youtuber's videos.
gained a sub keep up the amazing work
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words and sub :) cheers!
Great video, pacing, level of depth and really starting to get fired up when I hear that intro roll!
haha thanks Seth, that intro ukulele gets me GOING!
Why you don’t have so many subscribers? Im surprised. I didn’t noticed it, you’re videos are so premium. You’ll have so many subscribers soon. Im sure.
Thank you! Eventually they'll come!
Im 100% sure.

😂 this comment is gold. I hope you enjoyed the video!
Blown away by the quality of your videos! Everything is super engaging, I hope you keep it up!
Thank you so much! I definitely will!
Bro keep pumping these out! So good
4:40 "let's try to find diretional moss" literally behind you there's one hahahaha
Some moss is even a precursor plant to ferns, the little moss flower will produce a seed that grows a fern!
Whoa, I've never heard of that. I gotta check that out.
Fern propagation is pretty weird and interesting as a biologist!
Very informative,keep up the good work,you will get there👍👍.
Notice that none of these work in the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. I never leave the house without a GPS and a compass/map here.
That is definitely a must whenever one is exploring!
Dude how do you not have more subscribers. This channel is great.
Haha I’ll eventually get more! 🤞🏾 thanks man!
someone wrote a song referring to that once; the song is literally called "The Moss"
When there are no mountains:
Guess I'll die
This is so wild to me. In Germany you can't get lost, I think the farthest you can be from a town on the German mainland is like 10km lol.
What a gem of a channel, exactly the kind of content I've been looking for. Thank you for making this kind of information so digestible. New subscriber and I'm telling everyone I know about this channel.
Thanks so much for watching and subbing! I’m glad my videos resonate with you!
Great. Now I understand moss a bit more and “North” no longer sounds like a real word to me.
I love how informative your videos are! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
The quality on this video is nuts. I like the way you edit and commentate.
Thanks a lot!
5:24 I was surprised to see Monke Zeke here hahaha
😂 I love AOT. You’re the first person to comment on it
I loved this. You're really good at explaining things: all the necessary information, without excessive words.
(I agree with MarsBarres below!)
Thanks so much! :) what an awesome compliment
Damn man. I moved to Germany from San Diego. Your videos make me miss San Diego
Damn, that's super different! Hope you're getting sun where you are
@@TheBackpackingBiologist lol nope. its been rainy, windy, and cold the last week
damn this channel is underrated
ty for this lifesaving tip
Thanks for the kind words! Cheers!
Awesome information man!
Thanks man!
I love this video! You did a great job
I like how you went another direction with the moss :p
Huh?
You very much give me "Reading Rainbow" vibes.
What an astounding compliment! Thanks :)
ur videos r so fun and informative i love them!
Thanks Jaida :) I appreciate it!
my new favorite channel
Thank you 😊
Or just use a magnetic compass? It won't need battery or network and works everywhere.
I will stick with the stick in finding North😀ahlavit 👍👏👌
I want to learn backpacking but I dont like people and more fearing of meeting people in the wilderness. Ok, I go back to sandbox games in my pretend forests :
yo! I think backpacking is the best place to get away from people. If you need help backpacking send me a message
New sub here, this is now my favorite channel
Thanks a lot!
The earplug on the globe finally did the trick for me.
😂🙌🏾
Wow good work my friend
Thank you! Cheers!
I love that intro graphic!
Amazing work, really informative 👏
Thanks a lot!

woah you earned 1+ sub... Im not a nerd but this is skill

Wow wow and wow. Excellent video.
What’s the story on the direction that the tip tops of coniferous trees pointing in the direction of prevailing winds?
Hi! I just tried looking it up and I couldn't find any research specifically saying coniferous trees pointing towards prevailing winds. Can you please elaborate? I am familiar with trees pointing away from winds, which is common to see among flexible trees like aspen
I just had my mind blown 🤯
Biology can do that sometimes ;) thank bud!
It's all about the sun truly. Most aren't studying the Sun's path and the ancient navigation of the sky though it's all in the sky.
You're right, its all about the sun. We'd be lost without it
guys i live on the equator what do i do
Buy a compass 😂
im watching this knowing full well im never going to use this and knowing that my sense of direction is as great as zoro's
haha a One Piece fan! Well lets just hope you're never in a situation to use this info, and hoping you're a little better than Zoro :P
@@TheBackpackingBiologist aww thanks ❤️
okay so now i know that i should take a stick w me everywhere! 🤯
🤣 or you can always find one!
The intro reminds me of adventure time
haha hell yea! That's the vibe I was going for
Could look at the sun and by that tell which direction you're pointing 🤷♂
Not really following this. Care to clarify for me?
YES SIR
Thanks M8!
👏👏
Your videos have way too less views
Thank you! I appreciate you watching all of them. I think so too lol, the views will come eventually
