    Hi from Tokyo. That was nice of you to mention not everyone can physically do what you do and they can enjoy it with you. I love stealth camping videos but am a wheelchair user, so this is a great way to enjoy it.

      Hello, Josh! 👋🇯🇵 That's reassuring to hear that you are able to enjoy it through video, despite the challenges you must face in a wheelchair. Before my grandmother passed, she told me to capture the adventures I was going on and share them with those who might not get the opportunity. My goal is to make it like you are right here with me exploring these cool places 🏕️ Thank you for watching and sharing your experience!

    Having grown up not far from there, you do put cereal in the fridge. Same with bread. It's the only way to keep it from going soggy in a matter of days, if not hours after opening it. When you live that close to the water, humidity is a way of life.

    I got shipwrecked on that island in the early 80's when the house was smaller. I was sailing a cheap, styrofoam sailboat between Middle Sedge and Marsh Elder Islands in winds dar too strong for the boat and the mast snapped. Had to walk barefoot through the reeds to reach the house and ask for a boat ride home.

    Yea, you don't know what you're doing, the idea is to get there right at first light, that way you have the entire day to explore, without giving yourself away with a light, that way you can learn all about the layout before it gets dark, and you go to bed right when it gets dark, that way you'll have over 8 hours sleep.
