      If it’s OK with Slim, I recommend also watching Snow & Curt. They are traveling the world in a van. They have been in Mexico, Central and South America the past four years.

    Stunning scenery Slim. Can almost smell the fresh air. Love the insects and that cool rock hole waterfall. Nice to see your kayak getting used. Couldn't help but admire all the work you put in backtracking to get such fabulous trail and boat shots. Your efforts are appreciated. Years since I've seen any Canada Geese, especially given I live in Australia. Looks like a fabulous spot for birding! Ah those spring storms. I would never switch to a Mac from my trusty PC. Your videos were professional anyway. Thanks for a real treat of a video, so much variation of content! The Australian term for a "vault toilet" is a drop dunny by the way. Yep, we all speak English!😁

    If you have the time, you should stop in Charlestown Indiana at Charlestown State Park and visit Rose Island. The abandoned remains of a flooded amusement park from many many years ago lie here where the Ohio River flooded. Very cool experience. Campground is amazing as well with very nice hiking!
    Keep up the great videos! Enjoy watching!

    Macs aren’t for everyone, but once you get the hang of it, I think you’ll like it. You’re certainly not wrong on it being a learning curve, I too spent a long time on PCs before making the switch, but now that I’ve done it I wouldn’t go back if someone paid me!

    I feel your pain, Slim. I used PowerDirector for years, have worked with DOS/Windows for most of my life, then ~4 years ago I bought an iMac & MacBook. Learning the OS wasn't too difficult but Final Cut Pro was a heavy lift. Now that I use it all the time, though, I'm so happy that I switched & all the PC hardware sits gathering dust. There are several plug-ins available (or, if you bought Motion, you can make your own) that you may find helpful 🙂.
    If you're having an issue with the drive on your MacBook you can bring it to an Apple store and they'll help you out. If you feel comfortable with doing your own repairs you can also do a reinstall of the OS using a USB drive. I used to use Time Machine for doing backups but switched to using the backup software made by Acronis.
    I also do a lot of editing from our camper when we're on the road and found it helpful to get an Office 365 account (which provides 1 TB of OneDrive storage) and a 4 TB SSD drive for doing backups. At home I have a NAS server that is set up to sync with my OneDrive account; when I finish a project I'll upload it to my OneDrive account, which then syncs with the NAS server to provide an extra backup. You can also use a cloud provider like BackBlaze to provide offline storage...but I'm an IT geek who already has a NAS setup for all my other work, so this worked best for my needs 🙂.
    Happy Travels, Slim, and keep making those great videos, you are an inspiration!

    Congrats on trying out some new tech! I've used all three of the main operating systems for desktops today, Windows, Mac OS and Linux. People tell me how easy Mac OS is, or how easy Windows are, and how hard Linux is. All I can say is that if you have never used a particular operating system, it is always going to be hard. Over my 40 years in IT, I have learned and become a "power user" or "expert" in over 20 computer operating systems. Coming into one, cold, is always a challenge. Personally, I am currently using Linux, as I agree with it's FOSS, that is Free Open Source Software philosophy, and it many times more stable that Windows. I do keep a copy of Windows on my machines so that I can play games, but that is becoming less needful, and I do have an old iMac around when I want to fiddle with Mac OS. Have fun!
