"Can you find me a ruby, honey?" "I'm looking for a sapphire!" Can't help but think of the Gen 3 Pokémon games and their Gen VI remakes 😂And I'm sure Kiwis will be teaching their children about the great and ancient butt hieroglyphic at Gemstone Beach for generations. While Slope Point is the southernmost point of the South Island, it's not the southernmost point in the whole country. That title goes to Jacquemart Island which is over 661 km/410 miles from Slope Point and is a part of the Campbell Islands. Sheep fun fact, the wild ancestor of the domestic sheep is the mouflon, and they're native to Armenia, Azerbaijan, eastern Turkey, Iran, and Cyprus

RE: Working dogs We herded cattle with horses, pickups, tractors, motorcycles, and a dozen people on foot. Always difficult. After I moved out, I got my father an Australian shepherd pup. When that dog grew up -- about a year -- that dog herded those cattle easier and better than we ever did before. Great dog. Second in value only to our watchdog -- a chihuahua mix.

Spending a day on a working farm is a good way to increase your appreciation for your current job, no matter what it is, as long as it isn't farming. I did just enough hoeing gardens, watering pigs, gathering eggs, and putting up hay as a teen to really appreciate working indoors as an engineer, no matter how nice it might be outside on any given day.

..... seeing how different industries work is always interesting. Farming in particular is so different depending on size from the farmer that works a day job to make ends meet and the slightly larger where the family runs the farm solo and then there are the huge factory farms that employ staff ... the huge dairy operations are mind boggling .... you sure lucked out I would say to experience this first hand .. growing up between the ages of 9 &13 my family lived in a small farming community in Germany and over the back fence was a farm yard. they did dairy, pigs, as well as ground crops .. spent a lot of time there and it furnished me with lots of great memories .... thx for sharing and the memory jog .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

It's actually a genius idea for an adventurer to buy a cool place, one you'd like to retire in would be smart, then airbnb it while you travel, block out any days you want to be at home base, then hit the road again and when the day comes that you want to retire, you've already got a home, fully paid for after all the airbnbs ready to plant a garden and enjoy. As housing costs will just continue to escalate, it would be wise to buy now.

Oooooooooooo I REALLY liked this one. I like them all of course, but these vids that connect the lives of a skilled worker to the day to day of our own are very important. Too many of today’s Gen are completely uneducated about life and think “food comes from the grocery store”; not a good mentality to live by for many reasons. I believe it’s critical for everyone to understand exactly how that sweater got on our backs or the food on our tables, the shoes on our feet, etc. I believe we gain a greater respect for each other and the planet we share (ALL animals/plants/beings) by gaining such insight and learning how many hands have come together to produce the end product we have and hold. This was fantastic, thank you for sharing the experience.

Back when I was 18/19 I was a Presser in a Shearing Gang (Around the Catlins, South Otago, NZ). Mostly for 3 or 4 shearers, and using that press machine that he was showing you there. Yes it was very hard work, and the bales were easily 160-180kg. Best shed ( or worst depending on sweat) was a nearly 4 day job, 4 shearers doing more than 1200 sheep per day, and I pressed well over 100 bales. I was expected to keep up, and be ready(tidied up) to leave the shed at the end of each day with the boss.
