    It was such an incredible blend of history and adventure! 🌍🚴‍♂️ The #MilitaryChallenge2024 offers a meaningful way to remember the sacrifices of the past while exploring beautiful historical sites.
    I really enjoyed doing this challenge, I learned a lot along the way!

      I had never heard of this Battle before this trip. Sometimes it's good to do a challenge. It makes you look a bit further than what you normally do. 😉

      I heard about this #stealthcampingalliance through SueB860. I looked like fun and I started doing it. Every month there is a challenge set by one of the members.
      We all post the same weekend and every month there is a winner.
      I have seen people sleeping in strange places. And I met a Belgian TH-camr along the way. So one of the following months we'll probably do something together. 😃
      Thanks for watching and see you around! Kaat

    The Battle of The Silver Helmets?! That's an awesome Battle name. Always down for some military history. Fantastic museum. I appreciate the memorial. From the cemeteries to memorials to the history itself. You do great justice to this small area that made it's mark on history.

    Interesting watch, I love a bit of history and a good museum as well. I would not have liked the job of digging up all of those German soldiers but I loved the field of helmets. Looks like a good pitch for your tend and nice and dry as well, different from your hiking/camping in the USA! Cheers Alan.

      I liked the museum. Too bad I didn't have more time. I would have liked reading some more stories. But still I got a good idea of what happend.

    Dear Kaat, this is a very interesting movie about the Battle of the Silver Helmets. You have combined the sad topic of war and the Stealth Camping Challenge in a good way. We found it particularly interesting that there were soldiers on bicycles in this battle. We had never heard of that before. It's also great that you found a good place to sleep. However, the little dog probably wanted to steal your dinner?
    Greetings, Iris & Micha from Cologne

    • @StepsbyKaatje
      @StepsbyKaatje  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Iris and Micha,
      That little dog was sure interested and the owner even more. Curious about what I was filming. I only noticed afterwards they were in my video like that. 😁
      War is a sad topic and I can not imagine is fighting... But I guess at some point in history we would have been on opposite sides... 😏
      Soldiers on bikes, I had never heard of them. But it makes sence. They were able to move a lot faster than those on foot. I do hope that they could leave their bikes in a save spot when having to fight. On the other hand, i don't think I would worry about that bike when I might be shot at and killed in the next few minutes/hours.
      Next Friday our adventure?
      Have a great Sunday! Kaat and Frodo
