More poster goodness from strapped this season. Does it really have to end at some point? 
We’ll see how fast I peter out on these but have had some unexpected downtime recently.
Hoping to do 1 or 2 more before season’s end.
I cleaned up the previous one as well…because I’m a designer and I have a really unhealthy relationship with things not being the same theme / style. It is a special form of OCD.
Any interest in putting together a collection of these (Strapped/Tourist Sauce/generic golf-centric)? I can’t speak for the rest of the Refuge, but I would imagine that there would be a real market - very similar to lie+loft/blueprints/etc.
(EDIT: Nevermind, saw the post above - just consider this additional peer pressure…)
I’m here for this
Somebody has talent, Jesus!
I was not there, so do not know, but would guess 99% of this was shot with the Sony DSLR. Sometimes it gets put on a gimbal and sometimes Deej likes to go handheld for a more vloggy, less formal look.
Trying to resist the cliche but make a lefty! comment because of how great these are
Yeah I have seen episodes of tourist sauce with you manning the big rig and those shots are so smooth but I guess I just noticed some shots at the restaurant were all over the place and noticed at the beginning you can see him gaming the IPhone in the reflection of the van window. Would make sense though if majority of it was on the Sony… (sorry I noticed these things, I guess I got the eye for detail)
Only reason I did not say 100% on the Sony is because of that van window shot!
Think the osmo pocket is retired after the B-roll boy got ahold of it in Ireland.
Can’t say it enough but @djpie is an absolute beast with the production/editing of this series.
Cup of coffee on a cool morning while camping has gotta top the list of best cups of coffee. Can’t beat it
I know its a little out of “Strapped” budget, but I don’t think I could have been in that area of New Mexico and not played Black Mesa. So good.
Please, please, please let this be in Part 3 as they’re leaving Los Alamos. 
Where does one go to rent a van like this? Sorry if this has been answered. Didn’t see it in my searching
The start of the episode was like the perfect ode to the delightful morning cup of coffee when camping/staying outside. Just a perfect way to consume coffee.
Wife and I did our honeymoon in a similar model VW van with the same company the Strapped boys used.
The company has now added newer Dodges to their fleet and I would absolutely go with those instead.
The VW van might be the slowest vehicle ever. Was serious getting passed by semis going up the mountains. I’ve never pushed a vehicle more to its limits than that van, and that was just to keep up with traffic. The van was great for what it was, but just a slightly bigger more modern version would have definitely added to the ease and enjoyment of the trip.
If it wasn’t this company, it was very similar (I just remember the paint jobs) a friend of mine rented from a few years back to do a week long trip out west. He said it was great, van was all tricked out with everything they needed.
This is literally a top 5 book of all time. Not only is it great from a history point of view, it’s such a good retelling of the science development that leads to the atomic bomb. An amazing story of how regular scientists encounter the hardest decision humanity has ever had to face and what to do when you find out what you just discovered has the power to end the earth in less than a minute. I know the final decisions were with politicians but the scientists knew from the beginning what would happen when the neutron was discovered. When the chain reaction proved possible in Chicago everyone went “oh fuck this is it” and it’s such an important part of human history that’s not really known outside the science class.
I recommend it to all of my students so kudos good sir or ma’am.
There was a moment Szilard hoped the commercial application of the split atom would or could be the only application, but the chain reaction created so much power that he knew straight away the world would possess the most cataclysmic weapon it could ever know as soon as it was known by first world governments.
The optimism some of those scientists had that nuclear power could make the world better is quite possibly the only self-serving reason they kept working.
Fascinating story and Rhodes tells it effortlessly. It’s definitely one for @MerchCzar & @Randy
