Tarp, ticks & quiz

[Ggreenvideos]

That's what I'm talkin' bout :o) Hammock is the best way unless you're up on high elevations with no trees :o) I have to have both :o) Where's the bug net my friend? Don't sleep with ticks...haha

[steintanz]

@Ggreenvideos Fortunately in our area bugs are not that much of a problem unless your directly next to some sort of pond etc., you might get stung few times at night, but a net is not really necessary, I think ... seems like the ticks don't leave enough fresh blood walking around for mossis, hehe :o)

crocodile dundee

[steintanz]

@Saltyboneproductions Yes, correct! ;o) Actually my uncle ...

[CdnLifeguard71]

Good video Tim. Thanks for the plastic sheet ideas.

Nate

[steintanz]

@CdnLifeguard71 Hi Nate! Welcome - good to hear that it makes sense to you too.

Tim

[RallohE]

HA ... what a clever ending pal! And I first thought the log crossing was my favorite part! Very clever!

Oh and for the record ... I hate ticks too! Fortunately our gorge isn't as bad as the eastern half of NC ... that's a good thing ... a bad thing is Rocky Mtn Spotted Fever and of course Lyme Disease ... so much nasty in such a little blood sucker!

[steintanz]

@RallohE Yeah, they're packed with "goodies" indeed ... nature's messengers to remind us that we stay humble ;o)

Rocky Mtn Spotted Fever - puh, the name itself gives me the shivers.

And thanks for the praise. I'm already looking forward to watching some more of your sky rocketing special effects, hehe!

So stay happy and tick-free, but keep a certain tic, as we all do! :o)

Tim

[gotrocksinhead]

well done! I like the end... heh, heh

[steintanz]

@gotrocksinhead "Whooosh - warp speed, Mr. Spock, to sector 7."

Thanks buddy! Tim

[saradreaming]

Great video Tim, Funny though, every time I see "Tarp" used in one of your titles I half expect to see a circus tent :o)

Great tips for Ticks, I've heard that regular tuneup's and oil changes help a lot too.

Thanks a bunch Tim for keeping it fun : ) Sara

[steintanz]

@saradreaming ... well I got my tics for sure, no matter how much oil I change and whatsoever tuneups I undergo! :o)

Hello Sara!

Hehe, I like your association of a circus tent. Ain't our mind a weird-funny place to be?!

"Timy Pythons Flying Circus" ... not to bad at all.

Any bushy projects coming on strong in the near future?

Tim

[StyrianPower]

Tim

[busycando]

[steintanz]

@busycando Thank you Greg! Do you have any secret tricks against ticks?

CU, Tim

[medicjimr]

Thanks Jim and take care! Tim

[steintanz]

@TheSurvivalfan Aber nein! Gute Pannen bleiben natürlich drin - ist doch klar.

Danke & Grüße, Tim

[Waldhandwerk]

Hallo Tim, sehr gut balanciert und super Idee für den Rückweg ; ) Tolles Tarp set up und Seilkünste. Das Zitat wollte ich googeln, habe aber nur Sachen über einen früheren Präsidenten gefunden ; ) Klasses Ende! Lieber Gruß Sepp

[steintanz]

@Waldhandwerk Hi Sepp! ... früherer Präsident; ja also Jan hatte da schon ähnliche Vermutungen ;o)

Das ist aus "Crocodile Dundee 2", die Stelle, wo der junge Aborigine nachts gegen den Baum läuft:

00:35:43 How does he find his way in the dark?

00:35:46 He thinks his way. A lot of people believe that they're telepathic.

00:35:52 (Bang!) Oh, I hate the bush!

Danke fürs Reinschauen und schönes WE euch, Tim

(Wie viele schöne Wochenenden haben wir uns eigentlich schon gewünscht??)

[Waldhandwerk]

@steintanz hahaha, ...viele, meine Freund, ...und was mich betrifft so hat es immer geklappt! Also "Schönes Wochenende" ; ) und danke für den Film Tipp, jetzt weiß ich es auch wieder : ))) Sepp

[bassfuryvi]

@steintanz now thats a knife,,,I mean a quote!

[steintanz]

@bassfuryvi Anything under 14cm is a "cute cutter" ;o)

[69Grunden]

Hello my friend, another great video. Thanks for sharing.

Is the line from Crocodile Dundee?

[steintanz]

@69Grunden Correct! - "C. Dundee 2"

:o) Tim

[steintanz]

@supertramp71 Luck you. They can be a real pest.

Stay happy, Tim

[MrMycoo]

Very good humor and very good video!

[steintanz]

@MrMycoo Thank you - good to hear you like it. :o)

[wawhiker]

Helpful tick tips Tim. Say that one three times real fast. Can't be done correctly can it - haha! For a moment there, after your balance pole log beam routine (a score of 10 BTW) you were running lines between trees - I thought you were going to tight rope walk them with you balance pole. Now that's a video for another day...

[steintanz]

@wawhiker "ticktipstim" - ticksintmit" - tisckttmitt" - "tttttttttttttttttttttttt" - see, not so difficult at all!

Hello, hello!

Now that is a bunch of ideas you're giving me. Thanks for the 10 points. I'll see what I can do for you next time on a rope.

So long, Tim

[4micaman]

Ticks are terribly, no doubts. If you ever have the pleasure of getting chiggers, you'll experience true bliss. I kept waiting for you to do a backwards flip on your trip back across the creek... when you paused and looked at the camera. Thanks friend!

[steintanz]

@4micaman ... true bliss, ahh, that's what we all want :o)

Well concerning that creek crossing: I'll try to add the flip to my routine ... so it might take a few months until you'll see me again, back from hospital.

Tim

[secretsquirrell13]

dude I would have busted my ass on that log crossing!

[steintanz]

@secretsquirrell13 ... as I still need mine, I didn't. ;o) Thanks for tuning in, Tim

[FixedByDoc]

nope no tick sleeping i prefer woman over ticks...

[steintanz]

@FixedByDoc :o)

[phr1sk37]

Sleeping with ticks ... yuck. I have had one encounter with ticks and it was one too many! Thanks for sharing your setup!

~A

[steintanz]

@phr1sk37 ... yep, nasty little vampires, often full of infectious germs.

[steintanz]

@FourReason ... ahaaaa, jauuul! Die armen Nachbarn denken sich jetzt wieder: Was treibt der Kerl da nur - all dieses Gejohle und Gelache. Da stimmt doch was nicht mit dem!

Jan, wegen dir komme ich noch in Schwierigkeiten. Vor deine Comments muss man echt einen Warnhinweis setzen: "Nur lesen in schalldichten Räumen oder bei aufgedrehtem Fernseher! Zu den riesigen Nebenwirkungen erschlagen Sie Ihren Arzt und Ihren Apotheker."

@mchipman1 "That's not a knife ... now that's a knife" ;o) woohooo!

[bullthrush]

Good tip!

I use the same "truckers hitch" knot on my tarp.

quiz = "The Gods must be crazy"? or "Crocodile Dundee"?

[steintanz]

@bullthrush Yeah, the latter!! Cool, thank you! Tim

[pointman6382]

So I have been watching your vids alot here recently after finding you. I knew you looked like someone but couldnt quite place it. Figured it out, no ill intent here. Remember Crocodile Dundee? At the beginning of the movie Sue's boyfriend was in Columbia photoing drug cartel. You look like a slinder version of him, hahahhah. Sorry I have a habit of comparing people, a hobbie I guess. When growing up I was told I looked like Pvt Joker from Full Metal Jacket. Check out the movie if you havent.

[steintanz]

@pointman6382 :o)=) That sounds really interesting - I need to find a photo of Sue's boyfriend, hehe. What's the actor's name? - Cool hobby I must say.

Tim

[pointman6382]

@steintanz

Cant find his name. It was Crocodile Dundee part two though, I remember now. Alot of one liners in that movie.

"He wants to know if were allowed to eat these men!" Love that movie.

[steintanz]

@pointman6382 Alright - I'll do some research and maybe I'll find the guy that's wearing my face. Then you can eat him :o)
