Time for "THIS DAY IN UNCONVENTIONAL HISTORY" ... 😂

Yes campers, many things unconventional happened on this very day. For instance, in the year 1046 original travel vlogger Nasir Khusraw decided to leave his normal life and go on a seven-year journey across the Middle East and write about it. No Google Maps! No travel miles. No influencer perks. Which makes Nasir the OG ancient-world nomadic YouTuber.

Only without the benefit of a camera.

And in 1703, the first regular English-language newspaper (The Daily Courant) was published. Just think about it. Before this day the conversation went like this:

Did you hear what happened in France?
No.

In 1770 and a little closer to home, a grand moment when our future nation declared "you're not my daddy! you're not the boss of me!" occurred. Yes, the Boston Massacre occurred, when British soldiers fired into a hostile crowd of colonists.

So granted my own personal message of rebellion seems a little tame in comparison.

And finally ... in 1868 The First U.S. Presidential Impeachment Trial Began! Ole Andy Johnson faced a hostile senate and started the wonderful trend of political drama without real consequence that continues to this very day.

What does this teach us here on the channel? Apparently March 5th is historically the day people stop doing what they’re told and try something weird instead. So if you’re thinking about doing something unconventional today… congratulations. You’re just participating in a long and proud historical tradition. 😄

This one was an absolute HOOT to make! And seriously, while it was kinda inevitable that play would happen before projects, I was truly surprised at several moments in this one. If you'd like more info ...

We had a little drama last night. Maybe a mile away, just over the Mexican border, there was a huge blaze. Smoke billowing up in the air. I had no idea if it was a building or a brush fire (there really isn't much there building-wise, I don't think). So I kept checking on it periodically, seeing if it was moving.

When ...

I noticed this weird white trail in the sky to the west. Turns out it's a rocket moving slowly across (I'm 99% sure this was a Starlink ... here let me check (checking) ... yep, at 5:59 they launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California).

So yea, lots of fire in the sky last night.

I feel I need to explain this photo. LOL! Down in a silver mine where I was filming today, they turned off the regular lights and flipped on UV ones to show the minerals in the walls. It also shows off my Mexican Dentist Teeth Cleaning quite well. LOL!

There is a companion video on Patreon about the up and coming video here on the main channel, as well as some answers to questions asked and promised.

Enjoy!
