A personal video is often the best souvenir I can think of from an amazing trip. I publish on UA-cam to remember the awesome stuff I've been lucky to do and to share what I've learned from it with others so they can do the same. This ain't my day job so you can count on frank, honest, and sometimes critical thoughts. People that give everything 5 stars are not helping. I'm on a mission to make ratings matter again. If you appreciate actual thoughts and useful tidbits garnered from my hours of research on everything from traveling the world to picking a ski resort to building a computer, feel free to subscribe!
I also solemnly swear to always take videos of any animals I find around the world and give them proper screen time.

Extremely Strong Aurora Borealis in Madison Wisconsin - May 2024
Occasionally there's a chance to see it here but this was reminiscent of my time in Northern Norway! Easily visible with the naked eye both in the country at my friend's farm and from my own balcony in the midst of the light pollution. We got greens, reds, and violets over the course of the night. I never thought I'd see the Northern Lights so clearly from Madison.

Don't think i'll be doing a brewery experience but its still cool to see anyway. 🍺🍻
Looks like fun 😃
I traveled to Antarctica in 2002, went to UK Rothera Base. It was awesome. Hope you can go some time. Cheers
id prefer to go wen its like this '')
you can drink water from every stream in torres del paine, that's why they dont sell it. you could have done research
could you share the routes gpx format?
Don't have em, sorry, but I expect you could Google around!
The actual hike for Palmyra is much more bark than bite. A few steep sections and you’re good :)
Great vid
Great review. Big sky is on my bucket list. Gonna try to get out there in 2025.
Deer valley is almost doubling their land size in 2025
which month?
This was December!
Fantastic video! may I ask which camera was used to record this? the quality is superb!! Antarctica is a place I really what to visit and this video gives a great insight into the overall experience! Thank you Ronnie 👌
Hey this was filmed primarily using my GoPro Hero 10 action camera. I find this camera to be a small form factor, long battery life, and superb stabilization. I use it on most of my trips. Some aspects(particularly those requiring zoom or low light conditions) were from my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone.
@@RonnieBunshaft Thanks for the quick reply, awesome, I did think it might be a GoPro! I’m currently looking for a walking style camera to go alongside my A7iii for more static shots, to use on my upcoming trip to Switzerland. I’m definitely leaning towards a GoPro now! watched your Mt Pilatus video the other day, also excellent, that view you got on the stairs looking down towards Lucerne was Epic! currently debating Mt Pilatus vs Stanserhorn at the moment :)
beautiful!
Hi Ronnie - Such a great video and now I'm DEFINITELY going under the water in AA, I'm just trying to decide between snorkel and scuba. Do you scuba? If so, what made you choose snorkeling? Did you interact with others who did scuba in AA? Just curious what your conversations might have been like and just how much difference it might have been, considering it seems most of the wildlife (esp penguins) and the ice, you could see from the surface snorkeling. Thanks in advance, Phil
I have an advanced open water scuba cert but I learned that's no where near enough to scuba in AA. You need multiple other specialty certs and lots of recent similar experience. Almost felt like you need to be a professional scuba diver. Our guides also did scuba but not on this trip. I didn't talk to them much about it but I did get the impression most wildlife is on the surface. I'm sure there's something to see down there but I didn't feel like I was missing out.
Yeah you need dry suit certification AND 30 logged dry suit dives in cold water plus your own dry suit and all equipment. In total it will run around $10k so obviously it's a huge decision. I'm mainly interested in penguins and Icebergs and it seems you got those snorkeling. Thanks !
lol. cats
Wonderful!! Trip of a lifetime!!
Awesome video, sir! I have some questions about the trip, if you could provide me some information : 1. Did you buy a return trip from Kriens to Pilatus Kulm (by using the gondolas to go from Kriens to Pilatus Kulm and from Pilatus Kulm back to Kriens)? 2. Can we buy tickets with cash directly from the Kriens ticket office (no prebooking needed)? 3. Can you spend time on different stations before reaching Pilatus Kulm and also during the descent back to Kriens? 4. How much would the trip last? What would be an appropiate hour to arrive at Kriens? I hope you will see my message as me and my friends would really love to try the trip!^^ Have a great day!
Hi there! It's been a while since I was there so you should definitely check out the FAQs on the website to confirm but I can give you what I think are the answers at least. I did buy a return trip and I believe you can stop part way and check out the mid stations before continuing on. I was able to buy my ticket at the office but if you're going at a peak time you should probably pre book. I used a credit card. And up to you on the timing. I think it's roughly 45 mins each way up and down and you'd take a few hours on the mountain.
@@RonnieBunshaft thank you very much for your answers!
Super excited to be visiting in April and stubbled across this video! Question! We will being also doing the Tobaggan Run on the way to up to Mt Pilatus. Do you have to additional tickets if you get off at Fraekigaudi? We got round trip tickets from Kriens-Pilatus Kulm. Thanks!
I didn't need any extra tickets myself and was able to just get off and check out the midway. But I can't speak for any changed policies so I'd suggested checking the website FAQs confirming when you get there.
Antarctic Snorkeling: A Dive into a World of Penguins, Icebergs, and Beyond!" - What an adventurous and unique experience! I'm curious, what inspired you to try snorkeling in Antarctica, and what were some of the most unforgettable moments you encountered while swimming among penguins and icebergs?
Ronnie - I just got home (March 12th) from an Antartica cruise on the Greg Mortimer. Were you on that same ship and cruise? You don't look familiar but possibly because you were hanging with the snorkelers and I was with the Photo Tour group. Anyway, awesome vlog - it really captured the atmosphere of the trip. Can't wait to go back!
My trip was Feb 21 to March 3 so maybe the same one depending on if you did anything just afterwards!
The longest globeriding track in the world is in Denmark, Western Australia at 570m long with 5 corners.
Cannot relate to this on any level. Just saying
Looks incredible Ronnie but then again the Bunshafts always do the best family trips!
Thanks!
Fantastic video Ronnie! Looks like you all had the trip of a lifetime!!!
We did eventually make it in 2024! Check out the overall video here: ua-cam.com/video/n2Ffk-wHdpY/v-deo.html and the one on snorkeling specifically here: ua-cam.com/video/blN6twG3quw/v-deo.html
Awesome video! I'm going in a couple of days and your information was very helpful!
That sucks! Were you able to secure vouchers for the same cruise?
@@retz79 Hey there if you're interested, the overall video is here: ua-cam.com/video/n2Ffk-wHdpY/v-deo.html and the one on snorkeling specifically is here: ua-cam.com/video/blN6twG3quw/v-deo.html
Tech has definitely improved. RFID epic pass does work now.
Hey check out this video on Palmira Peek. 2 hr hike, but gets you into some great terrain. ua-cam.com/video/a0CV0yzHUdg/v-deo.html
Good video. I agree. I liked Prospect bow lift the best too. But I do appreciate the ability to hike. We hiked up and did LA Rosa. I love Telluride. It has tons of advanced terrain, which I prefer. This is hands down my favorite ski respite. Not just the skiing, but the mining history of the town and in summer I can do Black Bear Pass in my Jeep. Thanks for sharing.
...este ametitor,aproape ireal... de frumos.... este dumnezeiesc...RAIUL ACOLO,IN ELVETIA ESTE !!!!
The real question is, is the shaft good or bun? Asking for a friend
Ronnie Bunshaft
Indeed.
They are replacing 6 shooter with an 8-pack for next season (24-25). The new 8 pack will have bubbles and heated seats. The ride time will also be 30% faster.
Such an underrated channel!
Great video Ronnie. Thanks for taking the time to do it. Both you and Eve showed lots of patience. What I will make sure to do when pressurizing the system is to take some soapy water and put it around each fitting, one at a time. If there are any leaks you will be able to see the soapy water bubble, like when you are fixing a flat tire on a bike or car and trying locate where the holes are that are causing the leak. I wouldn't have thought to do that without this video. Thanks again.
Nice review would like to see others. I liked cloud9, prospector, temptation, jonesy’s to flatiron, silver queen, seldom seen, claim jumper, copperhead, pipe dream, boogeyman, chicane, snowdancer, cascade and docs run. This was my third time ever skiing and we had a blast. I recommend not skipping leg days and expect to know how to ski well to enjoy what this resort has to offer more safely. Run traffic can get annoying at choke points making those areas more dangerous.
Nice breakdown of the Mountain. Thank u i havent made it out here yet but soon i hope
what time of year did you go
This was January!
Hi Ronnie your review is very helpful🙌 I’ll be visiting Big Sky this month
Glad to hear it!
For beginners and intermediate skiers, which lifts are the ones to stick to?
Cool video man, crazy jump in the freezing water!
I have the same config exept it's a asus strix mother board, the connection are similars but .... my little well in the ek distri plate run in other side than yours !! ???
Great breakdown, Ronnie - really appreciate the effort and feel like it helped me prep for my first time on the slopes at Telluride!
Hey There, >You have amazing content on UA-cam about Traveling. >-Unfortunately you have a lack on your channel, which is video SEO. >-I assume you don't know about UA-cam Video SEO since your video doesn't have SEO. Though let me tell you about the videos Lack -Without SEO-friendly video titles and Description -Not included relevant Tags and Keyword -No Eye-catchy thumbnail It does not only matter how good video quality you have; with proper SEO, it's easier to get views with organic growth! Currently, your Video SEO Score is '0' I would love to help you out and discuss more. Regards, Rahat
too long form me, is that Lian Li O11D XL works directly with argb fun or need hub?
I think you're asking if I needed a fan hub with this build. The answer to that is yes, because the motherboard does not have enough connections on its own. The case has to do more with how many fans can actually physically fit in there, not with how to plug them in.
@@RonnieBunshaft Thank you for the quick response; I'm asking about something else. I can easily get power to the fans from the motherboard, but when it comes to controlling the RGB LEDs, my motherboard doesn't have ARGB support. Currently, I only have ARGB fans, so I'm wondering if the controller that comes with the case (attached at the bottom) will directly control the ARGB LEDs of my fans, or if I need to buy a separate controller/hub for this.
@@michal5869 ah I see. I don't recall the exact specs of that but I think you should be able to google that one. I would be surprised if it was any more than the basics though. I bet it's in the manual too.
😔 *Promo sm*
You didn't like the Plunge lift? That's my favorite part of Telluride. I live in Vail, and make the 4.5 hour drive multiple times a year because of how much better it is compared to here.
You missed the darkrides....those are unique and the reason why Efteling is popular....beautiful vlog though ;)
