5000-Acre REGENERATIVE FARM Revives Old Farming Town - Ep. 256
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июн 2024
- Fourth-generation farmer, Will Harris from @WhiteOakPastures in Bluffton, GA charted his own course in town when he decided to farm regeneratively-managing thousands of acres rotationally grazing cows, pigs, goats, sheep, and chicken for market in the US. He has been one of the more modern-day pioneers of grass-fed beef and related products, and has served as an inspiration for many others looking to farm regeneratively.
He takes us through his journey and hardships, how he'd approach the business it if he were starting today, reviving an old farming town, and shows us through his operations-from the grazing to the food processing to the composting.

I'm curious about the bare ground farm shown about the 21-minute point. I'm guessing that they spray the field to keep weeds from growing, otherwise the ground couldn't be that bare for very long. How often do they have to spray that field? No wonder why our waterways are being polluted by storm water runoff.
I LOVE that he is not only thinking about himself and his family but also the survival of a community ! Most people now days are only concerned with themselves. 💐💚🙃
truthfully - that is the problem in the us now - we used to look after our neighbors - now most people want the govt to give handouts, to pay off student loans, to give them free housing and food, and to bomb foreign countries - they dont give a ratsass about or even hate their neighbors
Regenerating and entire town… that’s a tall order. Been studying permaculture and regenerative farming for almost a decade and never heard of this guy… how? The man has created a beautiful example of what can be done long term. Absolutely amazing. Great interview.
Permaculture doesn't really recognize Adaptive Multi-Paddock grazing really yet. If it involves annuals, a lot of permaculture looks down its proverbial nose at farming or ranching. This guy doesn't do 100% permaculture, but he is involved in the process of regeneration. There's more wiggle room in regeneration for people to get started and move along the path at a profittable pace (purity tests are fewer and it does allow for repeated failure as people learn).
He was on an episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast. It’s a very good listen.
@@leelindsay5618Permaculture really ought to consider AMP, given the amazing results on the rest of the environment surrounding the ranched animals.
@@leelindsay5618 “Permaculture” refers to regenerative anything. Communities in non-farm areas can have regenerative aspects.
And you’re correct; many have adopted the term “permaculture” to only refer to perennial woodland farming.
I've heard other ranchers recommending new ranchers to rent land to get start/expand their enterprises. Greg Judy, Gabe Brown and Joel Salatin to name just three. All three of them also advocate regenerative farming/ranching. Gabe Brown has his own processing facilities as well. I believe decentralizing our food processing and distribution is the key to making food local again. I believe localizing our food will revive rural America and supply all of U.S. with higher quality, healthier food.
Two yrs of shortages from other countries woke a few people up it seems. Don't depend on your enemies to feed you in times of troubles. That's insanity.... Gday
Yes indeed, skilled butchers are in high demand. Real butchers that know how to process entire animals and multi species. Not just a cutter that only processes a quarter beef.
He’s a national treasure
Thanks for bringing such great content to the RUclips families.
Our pleasure!
I live in small town of 200 that has already dried up to one store with butcher, a bar, feed store and post office. The people are the reason its worth staying. Oh, two churches that is the heart of the town. Westby, Montana is a farming community that is viable still.
Is this the only guest to appear on both Flock and Joe Rogan? Makes you truly appreciate the philosophy and actions of Will Harris
AND #carboncowboys (Peter Byck)
Dam this guy is brilliant!!!! Thanks for another off the chart episode to make people think and appreciate our world more! We are what we eat!
Real Way to Live Healthy Not destroying Earth Nature Food we Need God Bless ALL these wonderful people
❤ I don’t know anyone that thinks that “ farms are the issue “ . It’s how they are managed
I love this long-form, detailed conversation and your beautiful video skills. It's such an important example of how a generational farmer switched to regenerative farming and supported a town's economy. I live in a small Iowa town that has also been hollowed out with big box stores and big ag. Sustainable land use and sustainable communities go hand in hand. Thank you for your rigorous work of storytelling! 💚
also the t-shirt shot insert was hilarious.
I wish all farmers were doing this. Thanks for this story. This is important stuff.
If everyone purchased direct from farmers, more farmers would work this way.
@@user-kv2pt4lu9y I went broke buying direct. Hahaha. No joke. Plus, they were always out! of beef.
I could listen to Mr. Harris all day ! 💐💚🙃
There is a MASSIVE difference between his healthy farm and that bare nakey ground of that farm near his. Good 👍🏻 job!! 💚
Wonder when the neighbor is going to open their eyes and take on the Regenerative model?
@@lauraw.7008 I don’t know… some people never know what is good for them because they never bother to find out. Let’s hope he gets a bit Jelly when he see’s them feeding them for free and not having to waste money on sick cattle and poison for the grounds.
@lauraw.7008 i like how he talks about the benefits of his method, but also gives a ton of grace to his neighbors and says they are smart, hardworking people. As he said, farmers don't make a ton of money, even when subsidized, so I'd imagine many farmers recognize the benefits of regenerative agriculture but don't have the capital to risk their livelihood to pivot. Or perhaps don't have the time to fully commit. Would it be great if more farms were regenerative? Sure, but that might not be currently feasible for everyone.
@@sirlesliechao it’s as simple as letting the grass grow. You are trying to make it sound like rocket science. It’s not.
@@Ghost-Mama; One pasture at a time shouldn't break the bank. Every trip starts at one.... Gday
Great work folks. The interludes are captivating. Color correction is on point and the sound is REALLY very good. My hat is off to the production team. Always compelling story structure. Thank you, very much
This was the most interesting interview. Summer you were so intuitive Mr. Harris and you were so inspiring! He was amazing! Thank you for introducing him to us! I’d love to visit his country store one day.
Real life John Dutton, amazing interview and this man is doing great things
Since I watched Gabe Brown in “Kiss the Ground” I’ve been looking more and more for stories about regenerative ranchers and farmers. I can hardly believe how well done your documentary is done. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing the good news. Much love💚🪴☀️💦🐛
Such a great example of the direction farms can go if the life of the soil and the diversity of plants and animals are central. Great questions and discussions. Thanks for this!
My community in upstate NY needs this
This is the most educative farm video of all time. Keep it up.
Host you did a wonderful job with the interview.
As a person who has spent a weekend on Mr. Will's farm, I can attest that he is as genuine in person as he is on this video. He walks the 100 yards from his office at the old courthouse and eats lunch at the General Store.
He invited me to drive through his open pastures and see his whole farm. I suggest seeing the farm on horseback though.
Wow! Amazing video, so insightful and inspiring! Thank you so much Flock Finger Lakes for making it and thank you so much to the Harris family for sharing, inspiring and for their commitment with the environment and the production of healthy food. Thanks to you all and best wishes
I loved the weird and awesome "blood as money" analogy. Also, it was cool to see the initial conversational style friction between generations and geographies and how it worked itself out over the video.
Love to hear more about the town, what are other people doing, keep the campground, touris, and temp living is needed for growth
What an awesome video. The revelations are a treasure . Many thanks for such a great job.
As I heavily taxed and not subsidized wine grower, good on you!
We use no fertilizer or pesticides and produce lovely, ingredient labeled wine, and happily pay taxes.
This is so incredible to learn about, I could listen to him forever
Thank you
That was needed ❤
OMG I didn't even know this was even happening in Clay Co. This dude is committed. I live in GA. That is so unusual. Love it!
Well done
I LOVE the way Mr.Harris runs his farm ! 💐💚🙃 Sorry I’m so chatty but Mr. Harris has really made an impression on me. 💚💐💚🙃
Wow, this was really interesting. the contrast of the adjoining farms is stark! Thanks for sharing this interview
I did not know about koe knuffelen being a thing, but since 2 cows are currently grazing beside my walking route with the dogs, I do pet them every chance I get haha
Thank you! I watched it twice!
Really good enquiries, Summer. It's very good that local laws allows Harris to deal with his own necrosphere and make compost from the bones and carcass. It's a real problem in the UK that land owners are not often not legally allowed to deal with their own carcasses so none of that goes back into the soil.
The short section about the fire ants really made me think I'd love to see a video about the different kinds of ants on your own property 😊
Great video and I'm glad to have found FLOCK
After studying environmental engineering at UCL for 4 years I'm a huge fan of LCA reports as a proper no nonsense indicator of sustainability. The fact that farmers like this gentleman are adopting ISO standardized methodologies like this makes me so happy I can't put it into words. It would be SO much easier to hold people to account on issues of sustainability if more consumers learned more about the way these reports work and demanded LCA reports from more producers. LCA reports are held to such a high standard because they are bound to ISO 14040 which is dictated by the international organisation for standardisation. I would encourage EVERYONE to find and read a copy of ISO 14040, but this stuff needs to be taught in schools.
As he shared, however, in this film-LCAs come at a really price-intensive cost (>$80K) to analyze his farm practices, so as a farmer/producer of food with not a lot of return on investment, that type of upfront cost would be insurmountable, as most farmer's annual paychecks are half that cost. Having corporations or larger chains pick up that tab makes more sense, but unless he had that partnership, (which luckily he did), I can't imagine LCAs being remotely feasible for producers in this country unless it's sponsored or subsidized. But as he shared too in this film-he already "knew" that his farm was sequestering carbon. You can just see it. And when you're that sensitive and close to the land, you know.
@@FlockFingerLakes; When I was growing up we called that " Common Sense" . Thanks for the great video... Gday
19:10 regarding RV park - perhaps you could do even camp rentals too? There’s a lot of RV travelers looking for safe places to rent.
Such wisdom
Thank you, born & raised in Nyc i never learned this.
Wonderful! Really enjoyed your conversations!
Watching this was wonderful. I get a strong sense of integrity from Mr. Harris. The mulch part - it reminded me that green tripe (unprocessed, as I understand it) is GREAT for dogs and cats - and hard to get. I think it's semi-illegal in NY state, or it was when I had a dog. It did miracles with my cat and dog's conditions like diabetes and dental maintenance. I'm surprised it hasn't caught on more in the higher end pet food market. I was able to score (it sure felt that way) a 5 lb frozen chunk and keep it in the fridge, just slicing off what we needed for the pets over the week & my cat's diabetes stopped (yes, it was gone) within a month or two. It isn't pleasant, but it's really no worse than processed pet food smells & one should be cleaning their hands and the bowls, etc well anyway. I watch another channel here from VT where a guy is doing some of this on a much smaller scale. I look forward to a time when subsidies flow to farmers like this as opposed to Big Ag.
At 7:45 when he said "we could sell the farm" and they cut to the cow that look like she heard what he said was hilarious. Am I the only one who almost lost his drink at that moment? 😂
Really outstanding video. Good on him. Thanks for taking the time and money to travel there and do this video
I'm guessing in the US it's not common to graze cows on grass unlike in the UK where it's normal practise.
Great to see what he's doing to revitalise his community
If he got some good parasite resistant goats, they would take care of the invasive weeds without having to mow. Put them in paddocks on troubled areas. They will also do wonders by controlling thick brushy areas. It also will add another revenue to his farm. Just a thought.
GOD BLESS YAH AND PEOPLE DOING THE RIGHT THING 🙌🌞🦋
Great job, content excellence, Great American family farmer success story, this is what is Great about AMERICA enjoyed and learned from your video. Applying some aspects to my small hay farm.
THANKS
So much wisdom, fantastic video!
Wise man!
Thank you.
I loved this so much. God bless him and his family. I'm so glad he had that study done. Always great information in these days. I never believed in blaming the cows!
Industrial cattle raising is still awful for the environment, which unfortunately is the majority of beef production. Hope his style of farming continues to grow in popularity, it's not the cows fault!!
@violetly_ buy from your local farmer to vote with your dollars. Supply and demand
Thank you for this fascinating and informative conversation with Mr Dutton. My favorite part was his composting comments. I am attempting to vitalize 5 acres of land outside Tucson, Arizona. I’ve brought in 35+ trucks of wood chips from mesquite and other native trees. My neighbors raise horses and I take all the manure and spead it for “seasoning.” I was fascinated to hear Mr Dutton talk about letting it lay for a year. I was curious about that and have left mine sit for 2-3 years. Thank you so much for this video.🌵
Same age also...love the country and what he is doing.
Great video. The $450,000 house out on Highway 27 with the big pool Will lives in says it all. Curious if Will had to go into the Armed Services?
I was raised on a 1400 acre farm in Michigan as a 5th generation farmer. We raised all manner of livestock. I've done it all by age 20. I'm a drafted, disabled, and 1968 Republic of South Vietnam combat veteran. My next door farm neighbor Alexander Zsigo was killed in Vietnam in 1967 the month I got drafted.
By the age of 21, I had been to Canada, Vietnam, Australia, Hawaii, Wake, Guam, and other places.
I got all those fancy degrees and by age 30 I was farming near Leefield, Georgia. I was growing tobacco, corn, peanuts, soybeans, and beef. I backed back into farming via my father-in-law. I went broke with the commodity prices dropping.
Great point: Translating the results into language other folks can hear
Gotta love his seat belt holder!!!
Enjoyed the video. Confirms my purchasing of grass fed beef and pork only from local producers. I made a conscious decision to live in a small town where this is possible
I have been dreaming of finding a meat farmer to set up sponsorships of the animals for consumer use. Ex. My neighborhood near ocala- I would get a bunch of us together and decide how much meat we all need and discuss pricing for feed etc and get our own grass fed not just finished and roaming chickens n pigs! I had cows. They ate grasses even the neighbor farm's rye cover grass. Our fencing was terrible and that was in SC. Can that be done?
1:23:00 is called I N T E G R I T Y
This is the type of farmers we make sure to directly support
This is so cool
Beautiful community of people!
Side note: It's sad that the neighbors have countless acres of bare land like that. So many people I know would love to farm that but can't afford property right now.
Great cinematography, excellent interviewee. I mean no disrespect but I only got 25 min into it when I had to stop it. Please let Mr Harris finish his thoughts. There is nothing wrong with a few seconds of dead air space.
PS Thanks Mr Dutton for putting a good spin on ants. They drive me crazy but I can appreciate their good works now. I’ve tried coffee grounds around trees I am trying to protect. LOL I have ants that let me know they prefer Starbucks.🌵🐜🐜🐜🐜
Oh birthday coming up ! I was born the same year. 💐💚🙃 In fact in March when this was filmed. 💐💚🙃
Happy belated birthday! 💐
In an England re-wilding, they left thistle in a spot for a year: following year the thistles were completely devastated by caterpillars of a rare butterfly.🦋
However, if it’s not a North American thistle, mowing may be the only option.
I'd love to move to your area to homestead - but doubt I could find land to farm - you got it buttoned up pretty good
Crop farmers in the Finger Lakes do make it without subsidies. Look at Lakeview Organic Grain. They have done well. Look at Oechsner Farms. They also do well. They are both in your neck of the woods. On another note, he's grazing the grass too short. It would recover faster if he left more residual.
Yes, farmers who aren't "in" the industrialized system have to do without subsidies, though like him-I think they are doing well enough but not necessarily "rolling in the dough," so to speak. But the farmers where he lives who are doing it in an industrialized manner likely, as he says, would not be able to 'make ends meet' without the governmental subsidies. Luckily here in the Finger Lakes, as you shared, we have demand for good grains and food. In fact, when we interviewed the co-op here, they can't often get enough supply; farmers market is booming; and farmers can decide whether wholesale or retail chains are right for them-both are viable. We've reached out to a number of farms, bakeries, and granaries here to get more voices and business models featured on the channel, but most are so busy, they don't even return calls or emails, so their stories likely won't get told-at least on here, but encourage others to seek them out!
Interesting man. I couldn't help but notice he cleared his throat frequently. I hope it's not from his years of using traditional farming techniques (fertilizers etc). I appreciate what he has done and does!
Yes, and a tick where he rubs/touches nose constantly, i am concerned too
I guess I don’t understand how raising free range chickens for meat isn’t profitable? You can turn chickens around MUCH faster than beef, IF I remember correctly meat chickens are ready for processing about six weeks after they’re born. We raised some meat chickens once for processing when our daughter got married to help provide food for the reception and I BELIVE it only took six weeks. After six weeks they became TOO big to even walk around properly. So I’m wondering why processing chickens aren’t profitable? I also believe pigs are a quick turnaround their rate of gain much exceeds most animals.In fact sheep are another quick turnaround, it doesn’t take them very long to reach a marketable size, we raised sheep as a 4-H project when our children were interested in 4-H and also when the grandchildren became interested in showing sheep for 4-H. In fact sometimes it was very hard to keep sheep from growing past a marketable size. Beef do take the longest to reach a marketable size but they do provide much more meat. 💐💚🙃
It’s not profitable at scale, against factory farms
Because you can raise beef only on grass but you have to feed grain to meat chickens and he has to buy the feed for that. And good organic feed is expensive.
There's is a shotgun in front seat So funny 😂😂😂😂 sunder reaction 😂😂😂❤
I am a regenerative farmer. I appreciated hearing what Will Harris shared about farming, thank you for giving him an additional platform. It would provide a great perspective if you would take the time to interview a conventional farmer in your own backyard. We’re all part of the food system, changing it is complex and challenging. Pitting regenerative farmers against their industrial neighbors isn’t always the solution and doesn’t help lift up communities. Would love for this channel to share both perspectives so that true solutions can be reached.
Yes! In general demonizing the conventional farmer is too prominent a feature in a zealot regen advocate's talking points. This gentleman isn't a zealot. He's repeatedly disappointing the interviewer who wants him to declare victory over his neighbor, but he humbly and gently admonishes her that he may be no more profitable than the conventional farmer on adjacent land.
The interviewer has a hard time listening to this experienced gentleman because she's so focused on emphasizing the magical talking points she's gathered in the education system. All mature minds understand higher learning institutions are propaganda/ indoctrination centers.
When ONE man owns the whole town it's a tragedy. Many farms disappeared for this his father and him to amass this size acreage. Good or bad, that is a fact. It can and probably is the result of economic conditions totally unrelated to regen meat production.
It may be this man felt a duty to preserve his home town at the sacrifice of lower overall income. You won't find a global corporation doing that. I can speak on many examples of international biz entities killing a town with zero guilt by purchasing and closing businesses that were their competitors. And their methods are often laced with deception, bribery and intrigue.
In an honest comparison the neighboring farmer's land would be covered with a healthy cotton or soybean crop. This neighbor farms 7 to 8 months a year, rather than 365 days like the regen farmer.
The regen farmer needs to be on site to move animals often. Many regen farmers move their animals every twelve hours.
When there are as many cattle on a piece of pasture as they filmed ground compaction and overgrazing is lurking.
Silly gal thought the desirable grass species could float in on the wind. She's an example of what we call a advocate of Utopian Agrarianism.
She should come visit my farm in the middle of the TX Panhandle (yearly moisture total 19").
My son and I are in process of switching from conventional crops (corn,wheat,cotton) to grazing hair sheep. The farms (less than a thousand acres) have been idle for three full yrs, and were chemical free for a few yrs before that. Due to lack of moisture we've raised no saleable crop since 2020 - but one of the best crops for sheep or cattle is the Kochia weed which left enough seed behind in our soil for us to bale and graze on about 16" of rainfall the last three yrs.
As the owner/financier my only expense has been county and local property tax and building several miles of fence @$13500 a mile - and we have yet to build cross fencing.
If I wasn't totally debt free due to the money and assets I accumulated while in the business of conventional farming I wouldn't be able to afford this transition. There is little room for error. Scaling up the operation gradually is essential, no matter how much money sits untouched in savings.
We've reached out to all types of farmers here in the Finger Lakes, but not everyone is able, available or wants to go on camera and we're not in the business of chasing after or begging people either haha. There's actually a farm here (more conventional) that has a YT channel as well here, but declined to do a video, so sadly, we can't 'get 'em all'. But we love sharing different perspectives and ways of living life here because there's often something that you can learn from everyone. I wanted to ask him about his neighbors, not because I think they are "evil" folks, but because it's stark management differences and you can truly see how different management leaves the land; I wanted to understand what their pain points are and if they would ever "switch" their techniques, and if so, why or why not? Mainstream media and even universities will often simplify and villainize all farmers (look what's happening in the Netherlands and here at home, for example), which is sad. On another related note, I also find it sad when people simplify who people vote for and then classify them as "good" or "evil." The "us" vs, "them" techniques work for dividing people, but that doesn't make a community, which I also think is sad. We live in a rural area, for instance, that is pretty split voting wise with R, D, and independents, and I cannot tell you how many times folks from city-areas will come in and comment on the "Trump" signs with disdain. Honestly, our neighbors are good people, regardless of who they vote for, and I think if people gave folks a chance, you'll find you have more in common with folks than you do have differences. And in many cases, those differences can easily be worked out in civil inquiry and conversation.
That seems crazy he has to overseed every year.
I’d think he’d have a seed bank with everything the land needed to stay covered in grass.
Skook boy here (near Tamaqua). Which NE Pa coal Town are you from?
Love the vid and what you're doing! Great job!
❤❤we all benefit from substantial $
49:40 the "without animals" thing is a total misnomer for a few reasons: 1) the human animal stewarding the system, able to mimic/perform almost any needed task. 2) Build it and they will come; animals flock to a regenerative space, 3) animal husbandry is only one general method of maintaining animals in a system.
My purpose for asking that question was to needle in to get his opinion on whether a vegetable farmer, for example, in his opinion-using no animal inputs whatsoever-manure, animal-based fertilizers, etc. or working the land with animal help -would be able to be considered "regenerative" by his definition. In many of those cases, animals and birds have to be "kept out" of the system so they don't eat the veggies, fruits, etc. for market. But yes, we don't have any animals (besides our birds) at this point, but having a highly diverse system, has seemed to attract all sorts of wildlife around, for which we share in the benefits together.
Summer, where are you from in PA? I’m from that area as well. I understand these struggles.
Northeast. North of Scranton, on NY-border.
Hunt 'em?? No, hug'em!
Circular economy doesn’t rely on ever-growing profits!
I can’t be the only person that thinks that their WOP Ketchup would be highly marketable to Italian Americans. I’m sure that Jay Leno or Joe Rogan could use it comically and make a mint…
He reminds me of a man said that he didn’t want to own all the land just the land that next to him.
André Voisin laws baby
He could maybe use the pigs to turn the compost?
I’d buy anything this guy is selling.
Great example of a slow talker.
Everybody moved from towns & farms to the factory city's
Love the doc but the camera moves around way too much
How many acres is this farm?
5,000. But he doesn't own all that. Some of it is on a lease.
I’m really surprised at all of the yellow fat on the beef. 💐💚🙃
why?
He absolutely could receive that benefits of feeding grain, stick the cattle in a chestnut grove after the nuts have fallen. Chestnuts are a grain tree and are carb heavy, J Russell smith believed in it and I think it would be interesting to see but I’m far from any kind of expert.
Grain, wheat, straw now a days is full of glyphosate. It's killing us and animals and it's in everything.
Get the breathing masks for the cows 😂
If I had two plants I was selling, one grew food the other money 💰. Which one would you buy? I'm working now on a plant that grows solutions, wish me luck. If it's successful I'm considering giving it away freely as my contribution to the world.... Gday
Just sayin'- an advert every 5 minutes is a bit excessive, imo. Good content; it's just shattered by all the commercials....
I have no ads…. You took mine lol
No ads for me. This is a great video.
Property Owners... but he seems to have good intention
God made a perfect world, a world that could take care of itself, WE screwed it up. This man is farming the way it was intended to be farmed, the way it should be farmed. And as he said these animals aren’t being raised in an unnatural way cooped up wading in their own feces creating unhealthy environments for the animals themselves but also for us. So if a cow farts or a sheep farts it’s all part off a natural process in an open air environment , heck we fart are we part of the greenhouse effect ? I really like this man’s thinking, okay I’m done ! 💐💚🙃
God?
lol just purchased 270$ meat....from white oak farms.....woo hoo....
1:04:49 food producers make good money doing it the way they doing it other wise they'd not be in biz come 10 years. And a lot of them won't be. but there's still on good land so it doesn't matter much to them. Most farmers aren't full time farmers because of machines because of a lot of things. Conspiracies not needed. I will say this, the greenhouse stuff industurail farming is dead on. The different and the problem is lumping models together. But this type of model makes up such a small part of the market. That can change if things are switch around and subtisides but they won't that means that big corn won't get big corn anymore. That means big GMO won't get big GMO money anymore. There's a lot of knock on effects that aren't friendly to the midwest in the short term if the model changes. And we have electoral college. So yes currently most farms in a lot of ways are heavy water users, heavy polutors, heavy suck down on infrastructure that via tax law changes they don't pay into much. Don't make a stitch of caloric sense with out massive war machine that pumps out oil to our system. Isn't a first stop for employees due to the way farming as a whole has treated employees thoughout it's history poorly. TRAGICALLY poortly even in modern times, from preventing labor from getting Social Securityfor a generation and half. (still sketchy btw) Then yes there's a grip of problems problem that aren't going much of anywhere. No Conspiracies theries needed.
Amazing video but I'm feeling dizzy from the constant movement of the camera. 🤢
It's so distracting.
