Hi Eli, this is my first time commenting on your channel, I'm from the USA. As I finished watching, first sorry for the loss of your Dad. By coincidence, today would have been my father's 80th birthday, so it hit me double. I'm only 5 years younger than your Dad and it truly reflects how delicate and fleeting life is. Be safe and enjoy your adventures, live long and happy!

Rest in Peace Salavat Bakunov, your daughter doing well.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. It's a treat waking up to a video from Eli to enjoy while having my morning tea or coffee. Can't possibly have a better start to a Saturday.
