What I especially like about you two is that you make no extra noise with your utensils and stuff, no clattering of pots and pans, but measured and meaningful movements and placements. It makes the watching possible for me (as very sound sensitive) without turning off the sound. Thank you and great way of working, with respect for your things. Love it.

The quality of your editing and camera angles for just 2 people, combined with the frequency you release videos, is just nuts. It is very obvious ya'll have put a ton of time into studying what makes a good video, regardless of actual content. I personally enjoy eating steak while watching you handle moose meat, imagining what it might taste like :D.
