Coming up on 80 years ago. The peace today belies how fierce the fighting was. Thank you for sharing this video. It's a place that I always wanted to go.
Had no idea how plainly the Japanese could see the entire US perimeter. Aircrews on Henderson Field must have felt like sitting ducks under that kind of observation.

Dang. I need to get there. Appreciate the videos until that day comes.
Hopefully we can go together
Great view and helps show how many hills and valleys there are, thank you
Good to see more of your work. Always appreciated

Spectacular view, great place to build a house. Big advantage when you hold the high ground. Thanks for sharing that video.
Did you make it back there, or is this an older video?
Either way great to see.
An older one. I plan to try and get back later this year or next
I only saw Mt.Austen in the distance while i stood at Henderson Field,i always wondered what could be seen from Mt.Austen
Man, a 30 day ruck through the south Pacific jungle to get into a firefight? Unreal...
Hey man, have you ever visited Butaritari/Makin Island? I’ve been meaning to get out to both the Canal and Makin
Would love to visit Makin but haven’t yet.
🍻 keep up the great work, my grandfather served up their as a sapper in the 3rd nz div
Nice one Dave, i bet Carlos Hathcock could have done some damage with a vantage point like that!
Dave, please write a book!
Doing it now.
Could that be the OP that Lt. Col. George describes in his book: Shots Fired in Anger?
Grrat video, i thought tourists were not allowed to explore the dense jungle
Never heard that. If you are a tourist I would suggest a guide before you try and explore the jungle unless you know what you’re doing.
