Camping 2011

Although this year's trip was cut short by bad weather, I still managed to get some decent footage. This video also features a great commentary by my Son David.

Craig, can I ask what your vision is like in the dark like that. I mean, my night vision sucks, so I was wondering if you had difficulty. Not meaning to be rude, just curious.

@PatrinaStrippedBare I think it's probably the same as everyone else, but when I was younger I think it was superior.

Great video from your camping trip. Liked that you took the "man role" seriously; "Get the beer out of the car, immediately get a bottle out and open as fast as possible. Wife and kids unpack the rest of the stuf. Next on man agenda - Create fire". Do not take this the wrong way, i'm a man myself and I do the same thing ;-)

[CraigTube]

@Shibbster87 well me and David did set up the tent/camper, hamik, light the lantern, and organize garbage, wood, and flashlights. But yes, the beer was the first thing that happened. LOL.

@sonnyjim7579 It was for the video dude.

i thought you guys drove on the left in canada.. dont know why i just assumed.

@therealrobvandam youre thiking waaay inside the box. The human eye can see "travel" so far into the cosmos in the blink of an eye. (pun intended) and the human eye is just a little glub of jelly. Who knows what evolution has in store for us. Evolution gains exponential momentum. in only TEN centuries from now our present will be equivalent to our neolithic era.. Now thats only a thousand years from now. We have MILLIONS of years of life to spend freely on our own accord.

@therealrobvandam uhhhhh.... yeaaaaaa

[mushroomhill]

man i friggin love Canada!

@therealrobvandam as a religious nutjob, but I used to be an atheist and believed that life had to be on other planets. But the bottom line is we don't know and won't know for sure until we get to heaven and ask God himself. Personally I don't think there are. God created Adam because he was lonely, and then created Eve because Adam was lonely. It doesn't talk about the creation of any living things anywhere else so I don't believe there is.

[therealrobvandam]

@therealrobvandam God designed it this way because (in my opinion) he knew that man will one day attempt to find life in other star systems but I think he wanted man to come to the realization that we are absolutely nothing compared to him. He is the creator of this massive thing we call our Universe. The proof is right there in front of you. We will NEVER be able to explore other solar systems, we can hardly explore our own.

This is the true testament of God's power. I don't mean to come off

@therealrobvandam coming into contact with space debris. One tiny piece of rock is enough to completely obliterate your spacecraft traveling at light speed. Now after being extremely lucky, you finally reach Our closest star system Alpha Centauri. Guess what? You now have to slow the thing down so it can safely land on a celestial object. Even more energy is required for this, not to mention the time it'll take to receive and send signals to the spacecraft.

Basically, it's impossible.

[therealrobvandam]

@therealrobvandam obstacles to overcome. First, you need the energy to propel an object at light speed. Scientists have already estimated that the energy level required for such a feat would be the amount of energy the world consumes in 1 day for only a couple of seconds of light speed. Do the math. 1 day of energy consumed on earth times how many seconds there are in 2.5 years. Now let's assume we overcome this obstacle. Now you better hope your spacecraft can travel for 5 years without

[therealrobvandam]

@therealrobvandam Reason being is, the closest star system to us (5 light years) would take thousands upon thousands of years to reach with a robot, and by the time it reached the star system, it would take 5 years to receive a message or signal from it, then another 5 years to send one back. The probability of that star having a planet with life on it is so minuscule anyway that it's not practical. If (big "if" here) we somehow found out how to travel at light speed, there are still many

[therealrobvandam]

Honestly, I don't believe there is life on other planets. Here's why. Long story short, yes I believe in the Bible and everything it says, and nowhere does it state about life on other planets. Furthermore, if you study interstellar travel, it's physically impossible to send other humans to another star system. Intergalactic travel is impossible altogether, including robots. Even with robots, i'm going to go out on a limb and say it's impossible to send a robot to another star system.
