Here's how I'm going without it:

• army backpack from the surplus store $40 NZD (this is a "longpack" it's pretty big) I can't hang my wide brim hat over my back hanging from the string while carrying this pack that's the only downside.

• wind proof balaclava, $50 NZD

• Led Lenser 90 lumen "P3 Core" torch, $48 NZD

Then just get some waterproof gear and multiple pairs of boots or footwear. I generally don't cook where I live because it's a shared kitchen with 10 other people and I also don't trust the hygiene of the washing machine, so I walk to the laundromat or go elsewhere.

Bus and e-scooter works really well. I'm pouring money into these services now and chatting with random boomers at bus stops. EV rental is nice but costs a small fortune even for 2 hours. Avoid as much as possible lol, there's nowhere to park and you risk getting scammed with BULLSHIT parking fines due to license plate recognition cameras being everywhere. Not only fixed ones but built onto parking enforcement vehicles too.

I made this 15 minute video in one take - no editing and no script. After 4 months I watched it again and I'm really happy with it. I like to record stuff that seems natural and not scripted for clicks and votes.

If you don't like Rumble then tell me where I should upload to instead. If someone posts here with a passion for a specific video platform then I'll certainly make an account on that platform.
