Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Emily Emily is a 37 year old first time mama from Maine USA. She believes in the power of our bodies innate intelligence and taking responsibility for how we show up. Emily spent nearly two decades working within the western medical system as a Registered Nurse and perfected the art of advocating for patients rights. She fought fiercely for her patients to have informed consent and deeply respect all informed choices. Maine was one of the strictest states during the covid pandemic with vaccine and mask mandates. She started a coalition for healthcare workers against medical mandates with over 4,000 members and let her job go, along with many others, when the Covid vaccine was mandated for all healthcare workers. She fell pregnant just a few months after that and found a midwife through the medical freedom community. Personal autonomy and bodily integrity are integral parts of who Emily is and how she leads her life, leading to a natural and empowering birth. Her hearts desire was to catch her own baby in the safety of her home and so she did! Curious about Emily?

It's my pleasure to highlight one of my dearest client's of the Nurse Rx Community. Jess and I have been working together for over 18 months and are truly kindred souls. Jess is an RN in Maine USA and after dabbling in a few different areas of health and nursing, including being a member of her hospitals infectious diseases team, she found her true passion in labor and delivery. She beautifully relates the experience of birth to so many transcendent experiences of life and her heart just sings when she talks about it. In 2022 she made the brave decision to walk away from her job instead of waiting to be fired for her personal choices regarding the vaccine mandates in her state.  Heartbroken and wary from the exhaustion she was experiencing beforehand giving selflessly and tirelessly to her job, her patients, and her colleagues she witnessed so much unfold that left her morally and ethically at a crossroads, as many others have as well.Sandra's Key TakeawaysLife is a series of birth and death cycles that hold many magical moments, and incredible gifts if we are open to see them and receive them.The fall of the corporate health care system and the unveiling of the mistreatment and abuse of its workers.The hero identity and the difficulty of caring for ourselves when so much is on the line.Trusting that we will land when the world seems to be flipped upside down and you're being thrown into square one of life. About Sandra Payne:Sandra Payne is an ex- Registered Nurse and Master Certified Holistic Trauma Informed Coach and the owner of Sandra Payne Wellness and founder of the exclusive Nurse Rx Coaching Program. After 13 years working within the traditional health care system and experiencing first hand the challenges that come with nursing, Sandra has a keen understanding of the heavy unrealistic expectations in nursing, the moral distress, and the stigma that keeps many nurse's struggles with depression, anxiety, and trauma, hidden in silence. Out of this intimate understanding was born the Nurse Rx Program through witch women nurses learn and practice a host of skills and exercises to manage stress, process emotions, and heal trauma within a safe group collective of other nurses. Join the community of support - Facebook group Thriving in Nursinghttps://www.facebook.com/groups/638818697054847Connect with Sandra Payne here https://www.sandrapaynecoach.comCheck out the International Association of Wellness Professionals Wellness Coach Training - https://iawp.ontraport.net/t?orid=91998&opid=28Thanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Welcome back to Maine and my stay at Ben's Blueberry farm! In this episode, I put a chilli finger in my eye and my foot in my mouth. So, this is not my proudest episode. You can stop reading now. But if you're brave enough to continue, just don't say I didn't warn you... In the previous episode, I arrived at Ben Perrin's blueberry farm in the middle of nowhere in Maine, USA. I got to hang out with him and his crew and saw how they sort their first-class organic blueberries and get them ready for shipping to stores. I also went to a place called The Pickled Wrinkle to eat pickled sea snails (gross) and walked around in the beautiful Acadia National Park. If you missed Part I of my time in Maine, be sure to listen to the episode before you continue. BEN AND HIS BLUEBERRIES For my last night in Maine, Ben invited me to go to a small local concert. He knew the singer and wanted to go see her ... and grab a few beers. So, I offered to be the designated driver. We piled into Ben's truck and headed out at dusk. As I was driving along the small, winding forest roads, I pulled out the microphone and asked Ben to tell me about how he ended up becoming a blueberry farmer. Ben tells me he has spent the past 15 years working on farms all around the United States, seeking out blueberry farms in particular as they are his favourite to work on.  "When the machines started taking over our jobs, I started Burke Hill Farm as a way of protecting our jobs," says Ben. He was a roaming worker back then, and when he eventually arrived in Maine, he saved up enough to buy the land and build the farm. Ben's farm sees a lot of people coming to help out during the harvest season each year. "Every kind of person walks through our doors. Every different kind, and then some," he says. He's had people over the age of 80, and a few as young as 14 come to work on the farm over the years. This kind of work and lifestyle appeals to a wide variety of people, which makes each season different.  Jason and Ben are the only people who work at the farm all year round. But during various times of the pre and postseason, he fires a small team to help carry the load. But Ben isn't one to shy away from hard harvest work.  After around 15 years of working on farms for 20 hours a day non-stop for months, it eventually took its toll on Ben, and he found himself in hospital suffering from chronic fatigue. At that time, Ben wasn't eating for 15 days straight and getting around 30 minutes of sleep each night. After recovering, Ben realised he needed help, so he hired Jason, who helps out a lot. PODCAST RECOMMENDATION I want to give you a podcast recommendation. It's a short daily podcast called Everything Everywhere by a guy called Gary Arndt. It's a nice daily dose of random knowledge. Be sure to give him a listen. FOOT IN MOUTH  On the first night staying with Ben, he made us some home-cooked spicy chicken. It really was delicious but very spicy. At the height of my gastronomic euphoria, I accidentally rubbed my eye with my spicy finger, and wow... it was violently unpleasant. Note to self: never extend hands above the mouth when consuming heavily spiced chicken limbs. After that, we had a beer and started talking about a bunch of things: and politics came up. I should have known that the US is very politically divided, unlike Denmark. Back home, we often talk about these things openly. But I wasn't in Denmark. I was in Maine, USA. On a blueberry farm. With spicy eyeballs.  Then, I put my foot in my mouth like an idiot. For some reason, I assumed that being farmers in Maine, Ben and his friends would naturally be Trump supporters. Boy, was I wrong. After talking about the topic of immigration and comparing the situation in Denmark to that of the United States, things got awkward. After I started my standpoint, someone tried to stop the conversation by calmly letting me know that what I was saying sounded similar to what Trump's viewpoints were at the time.  I was surprised that I was not in the right-leaning company here on a farm in Maine, but in fact, a very left-leaning crew occupies these barn walls. I was super embarrassed that suddenly, among these people, I sounded like a Trump supporter. Wow, along with my foot firmly wedged in my mouth, I thought about poking my spicy fingers in my eyes for good measure! We changed the subject quickly... BEN'S PHILOSOPHY Back in Ben's truck on the way to the gig, Ben tells me why he likes living in Maine so much. "Maine has the lowest APSM ratio (Assholes Per Square Mile) of the country, and that is in large part due to the fact that not many people live here to begin with, which significantly reduces the APSM". Ben plans to immigrate to Ecuador or Colombia sometime in the future. He isn't entirely happy with the way the country is being run. He doesn't seem to think the country is going to be very inhabitable in the future. These countries have a powerful military presence, according to Ben. He thinks the countries in the region are very safe, and there is a renewed sense of hope which he is attracted to. As we continue our drive to the bar, Ben tells me more about his views about South American countries and his plans to eventually settle there. He thinks he will start in Medellín, Colombia, first.  BEN, BEERS, AND A BLUES BAR We eventually made it to the music venue after a long ride made to feel short thanks to the interesting chat with Ben. I parked Ben's truck, and we went inside - it seemed like Ben knew everyone there.  The place was more like a garage than a music venue, but it was so cool to be hanging with the locals for an hour or so before Ben's friend – that he called "one hot chick" went up with the band and started playing. Nothing like some live smooth blues rock 'n roll in the middle of nowhere in Maine.  Later that night, as I was trying to drive back home in the dark, Ben fell asleep in the passenger seat and without anyone to direct me, I got hopelessly lost. But all these experiences — from hanging around with blueberry rakers, eating chilli chicken and sea snails, meeting the locals, and learning a few things about myself — were all parts of another unique Couchsurfing experience. It was a lot compressed into a few days. Would I have gotten that had I used a chain hotel and just had my own private room? I doubt it. Next, I'm off to Vermont, the last of the six states in New England, before continuing north across the border. I'll be on the lookout for another Ben … and maybe his buddy Jerry, too. Or at least their ice-cream factory where it all began.  My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See ya…

Velkommen tilbage til Main og mit ophold hos Ben og hans blåbær farm. I denne episode propper jeg en chili-finger i mit øje og min fod ind i munden… som man siger herovre, når man siger noget meget dumt. Så som du sikkert forstår, er dette ikke min stolteste episode. Så jeg håber på, at du ikke vil lytte eller læse videre. Okay… Sig ikke, at jeg ikke advarede dig.   I den seneste episode ankom jeg til Ben Perrins blåbærfarm langt ude på landet i Maine. Her hang jeg ud med ham og hans medarbejdere, og de viste mig, hvordan de sorterer deres førsteklasses organiske blåbær og gør dem klar til at blive sendt ud til butikker. Jeg var også på besøg et sted, hvor de serverer syltede havsnegle, og så havde jeg en dag i den smukke Acadia National Park. Hvis du endnu ikke har hørt denne episode, bør du gøre det inden du fortsætter. BEN OG HANS BLÅBÆR På min sidste aften i Maine havde Ben inviteret mig til en lille koncert. Han kender sangerinden (som han kalder ”one hot chick”) og ville gerne se hende og få et par øl. Så jeg havde tilbudt at være den ædruelige chauffør. Vi kravlede op i Bens truck og da trillede ud på de små skovveje i tusmørket tog jeg mikrofonen frem. Jeg ville gerne høre, hvordan han endte med at blive ejer af en organisk blåbærfarm. Ben fortæller mig, at han i 15 år rejste rundt og arbejdede med landbrug på gårde rundt omkring i USA. Han var altid mest glad for at arbejde med blåbær. Han rakkede rundt i landet som arbejder, mens det lykkedes ham at spare på til at købe jorden og starte sin egen gård – Burke Hill Farm. ”Da jeg kunne se, at maskiner begyndte at overtage arbejdet, købte jeg jorden for at starte min egen går – for at beskytte vores arbejde”, fortæller han. Medarbejderne på Bens blåbærfarm er alle mulige forskellige typer. ”Alle de typer, du kan forestille dig og så lidt flere”, siger han. Han har haft folk over 80 år gamle og et par stykker helt ned til 14. Denne type arbejde og livet som blåbærhøster tiltrækker mange forskellige mennesker, hvilket gør hver sæson en forskellig oplevelse. Ben og hans faste mand, Jason er de eneste, der er der året rundt, men på forskellige tider af året hyrer han et lille hold for at hjælpe dem. Men han er ikke bange for selv at tage del i det hårde arbejde. I 15 år arbejdede han omkring 20 timer om dagen non-stop, indtil det til sidst blev for meget. Han kollapsede og måtte på hospitalet. På dette tidspunkt havde han ikke spist i 15 dage og havde kun fået omkring en halv times søvn om dagen. Efter han var kommet til hægterne, ansatte han Jason, som er en kæmpe hjælp. PODCAST ANBEFALING Jeg vil give dig en podcast anbefaling: Det er en kort daglig podcast, der hedder Everything Everywhere, som bliver produceret af Gary Arndt. Det er en god daglig dosis af viden om alt muligt forskelligt.   JEG GJORDE OG SAGDE NOGET DUMT Den første aften hos Ben, havde han lavet noget hjemmelavet kylling – med masser af stærk chili. Det var rigtig lækkert, men meget stærkt. Mens jeg sad og guffede kylling kløede det i øjenkrogen. Note til mig selv: Klø dig aldrig i øjet med din finger, du lige har spist chili-kylling med. Derefter sad vi med en øl, og begyndte at snakke politik. Jeg burde have vidst at det kan være sprængstof at tale politik i USA, der er meget splittet. Hjemme i Danmark, er det jo noget, vi sagtens kan gøre – og stadig være gode venner. Men jeg var ikke i Danmark. Jeg var i Maine, USA. På en blåbærfarm. Med krydrede øjne. Af en eller anden grund havde jeg en fornemmelse af, at jeg var blandt Trump tilhængere. Men jeg tog grueligt fejl. Da samtalen faldt på immigration, sagde jeg, at vi i Danmark har opbygget en høj velfærd med gratis sygehuse, gratis skoler og i det hele taget en masse fordele, via en høj skat. Jeg sagde, at jeg godt kan lide et samfund med mange forskellige folkeslag og kulturer, men også, at det efter min mening, er rimeligt, at folk, der kommer til Danmark, ikke skal kunne drage nytte af alle disse fordele fra dag 1 – uden at have været med til at betale ind til det. Der blev helt stille. Lidt efter sagde en af dem, at vi nok skulle tale om noget andet, for ikke at blive uvenner. Og tilføjede, at det jeg lige havde sagt, var præcis det samme som Trump siger. Her sad jeg og troede, at de var MAGA-fans og pludselig var det mig, der virkede som Trump-tilhænger. Hvilket jeg absolut ikke er. Det overraskede mig meget, og det var meget pinligt. Jeg havde næsten lyst til at stikke min chilifinger i øjet igen for at skifte emne. BENS FILOSOFI Tilbage i bilen på vej mod spillestedet, fortalte Ben mig, at en af grundene til at han godt kunne lide at bo i Maine, var at der er længere mellem røvhullerne her. ”Maine har den laveste RPKK i USA (Røvhuller Pr. Kvadrat Kilometer)”, siger han med et grin. ”Staten er så stor og der er så få mennesker, at der er langt mellem folk – og dermed også røvhullerne”. Ben er ikke stor fan af den måde USA bliver kørt på i øjeblikket, og har derfor en drøm om at immigrere til Ecuador eller Colombia på et tidspunkt i fremtiden. BEN, BAJERE OG BLUES Vi fortsatte vores snak mens vi kørte ind i en lille by. Her fandt vi det lille spillested, som i virkeligheden mere var en garage. Inden musikken med ”One Hot Chick” startede, fik vi en god snak med nogle af de lokale. Både mødet med dem og at høre blues i en garage langt ude på landet i Maine, var noget af en overraskelse. Da vi senere kørte hjem ad de små mørke skovveje, snorksov Ben ved min side, og jeg for vild. I forvejen var det svært at finde, men absolut ikke nemmere i mørket. Alle disse oplevelser – fra at hænge ud med blåbær-bønder, spise chili kylling og havsnegle, møde de lokale og også lære lidt om mig selv, var meget specielt. Det hele var endnu en Couchsurfing-oplevelse. Ville jeg have fået de samme oplevelser, hvis jeg havde valgt at bo i mit eget private værelse på et hotel? Næppe. Nu skal jeg videre til Vermont, den sidste af de seks stater på min New England tur, inden jeg fortsætter nordpå til Canada. Her vil jeg se om jeg kan finde en anden Ben – og hans ven Jerry. Eller i det mindste deres originale is-fabrik. Mit navn er Palle Bo, og jeg skal videre. Vi ses.

Greetings from Maine, USA! After leaving the scandalous and oh-so-intriguing story of Belinda Rathbone and The Boston Raphael behind in Boston, I jumped back into my trusted steed of steel and headed for Portsmouth, New Hampshire for a 2-night stay with a Couchsurfing buddy. I needed to visit a medical clinic here to get my blood pressure checked after consulting my doctor back in Denmark. The saga continues... UNDER (BLOOD) PRESSURE After a thorough examination from a friendly physician, I was advised on how to improve things in my life to better my situation, like diet, exercise, etc. I was also given some medication to assist, which turned out to help me tremendously. Portsmouth was great, despite my stay being short and my medical tests taking up most of my time. Not one to dwell, my spirits remained high as I hit the road on the way to Maine for another Couchsurfing experience – this time on a farm. THE MAINE PRIZE Every single day since then – and probably for the rest of my life – I've been taking a small pill every morning to keep my BP levels in check. So, it was a “new me” with low blood pressure that was heading North towards a state with a lot of forests.  In fact, 89.5% of Maine is covered in forest. That puts them at number one on the list in the US, and actually, number two on that list is where I am right now… New Hampshire with 84%. Both of the two states have a population of around 1.3 million – but Maine is around four times as big as New Hampshire. I then drove from Durham, New Hampshire to my next Couchsurfing host Ben's Blueberry farm in Burke Hill Farm in Cherryfield, Maine. It's a drive of 240 miles/386 kilometers, so I made a stop on the way at the iconic Portland Light Head (not to be confused with Portland, Oregon that was actually named after this Portland here in Maine). FUN FACTS ABOUT MAINE The official state animal of Maine is the moose. The state is home to approximately 76,000 moose, the highest moose population in the lower 48 states. The official state insect of Maine is the honeybee. The Maine Beekeepers Association was founded in 1976 to promote understanding of the insect's importance.  Maine is the only state that shares its borders with only one other US state. That state is New Hampshire. The rest of the border is to Canada in the north. Maine is the only state in the United States whose name has one syllable. Maine is the single largest producer of blueberries in the United States. In fact, Maine produces 99% of all the blueberries in the country. So, very appropriate that I'm heading to a blueberry farm to learn more about this. BEN'S BLUEBERRY FARM The reason why I chose to stay in the Northeastern corner of the USA in the countryside is that when I travel Southwest from here I will pass the Arcadia National Park, nestled on a small island. It is described as a beautiful ‘must-see' part of the area so I planned to spend a full day there. The drive up to Ben's farm is really beautiful, with lots of farms and lakes and nature. He told me that it can be tricky to find his farm as it is really secluded, so he'd given me a long description on how to find it. We're so far away from anything that I can't rely on getting a signal and use Google Maps like I normally do. His directions included this special note: “You just need to aim the sextant at the North Star and go from there… you'll be fine.” It had been a long time since I used a sextant... My alpha male innate sense of direction didn't let me down and I eventually managed to find the farm and met Ben and his dogs. He welcomed me into his newly built wooden house and I was welcomed with a fresh cup of coffee made by Ben's friend, Jezebel. Nothing like a good cup of coffee to forge new friendships over. A bit later, I met Ben's right-hand man, Jason, who impressed me with his limited handle on Danish numerals. Ben's farm is called Burke Hill Farm and it's a certified organic wild blueberry farm in Cherryfield, Maine, the heart of Maine's blueberry country. Here, Ben and his team farm about 200 acres of organic wild blueberries the traditional way, harvesting by hand to provide high-quality wild blueberries. Ben Perrin started raking blueberries in 1991 and started Burke Hill Farm in 2001. Inside the wooden house, you can almost smell the fresh wood and the sawdust. Ben built “every f@cking piece” of the house with his bare hands over 15 years, and only just moved in 3 weeks prior. So, there are few things that still require fixing. Ben tells me that it is a quiet and peaceful place for the most part until the team starts working on the blueberries downstairs…Later that day, Ben took me downstairs to show me the harvest process of sorting freshly picked blueberries. HARVESTING BLUEBERRIES Once the freshly hand-picked blueberries are harvested and brought to the farmhouse, they are placed on a conveyor belt. First, the leaves get blown away by a big fan, then the blueberries are sorted by a grainer (small ones fall through the holes and get placed in a separate area). Then, the soft/mushy ones are removed by a tilt belt, leaving the only best blueberries for the picker belt to be packaged and sold. Such a simple and neat operation! PICKLED WRINKLES The next morning, I planned a day drive a short distance from Ben's farm to Arcadia National Park. But on the way, I made a stop to eat sea snails, or as the locals call them, “pickled wrinkles”. Yummy. Ben recommended I try them out to get a real taste for the area. Pickled Wrinkles are an old East Maine Delicacy. They are large sea snails, or whelks, which are pickled and marketed locally as Pickled Wrinkles. Lobster fishermen find the wrinkles in traps they haul from the ocean floor. The waitress told me a bit about the pickling process, that they use a mixture of vinegar and spices to preserve the snails. Eating them goes back to the old tough times when wrinkles were relied on to help feed Maine families, and they started pickling them because it was a great way to preserve the protein in them. The plate came with 3 sea snails, and they were very chewy (like octopus) and not bad at all, although I won't be in a hurry to eat more... The restaurant I am at knows that pickled wrinkles are not to everyone's taste, so on their website they say: ”Try one if you are brave enough!”… and I was. ARCADIA NATIONAL PARK After my pickled wrinkle gastronomic adventure, I jumped back in my car and made my way to Acadia National Park, known as the Crown Jewel of the North Atlantic Coast. It protects the natural beauty of the highest rocky headlands along the Atlantic coastline of the United States and forms an abundance of habitats, including rich cultural heritage. At 3.5 million visits a year, it's one of the top 10 most-visited national parks in the United States. I got to enjoy the park by driving around on parts of the historic motor roads, and I walk on a little part of the 158 miles of the hiking trail, and I got to sit on a rock by the ocean to reflect on my travels so far. That's all we have time for in this episode, but I have more to share here from Maine in the next episode of The Radio Vagabond travel podcast. Be sure to be on the lookout for Part II! My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See ya!

Hej fra New Hampshire og Maine i USA Efter at have forladt Belinda Rathbone i Cambridge og stadig havde den spændende historie om Boston Raphael skandalen i tankerne, kørte jeg videre mod Portsmouth i nabostaten, New Hampshire. Her skulle jeg Couchsurfe hos en kinesisk professor, men også forbi forskellige klinikker for at få undersøgt mit forhøjede blodtryk – og få noget medicin til at holde det nede. BLODTRYK OG DÆKTRYK Ved en grundig undersøgelse hos en venlig læge fik jeg forskellige anbefalinger om, hvordan jeg skulle ændre mit liv for at passe på mig selv. Sundere mad, mere motion og mindre vin. Jeg blev også sendt videre til en anden klinik, der tog blodprøver for at undersøge mig nærmere. Desuden blev jeg bedt om at få lavet en EKG om et par uger og komme til øjenlæge, da forhøjet blodtryk også kan skade synet. Og så fik jeg en recept til noget blodtrykssænkende medicin, som allerede den første dag, fik tallene på min blodtryksmåler til at falde. Det hele var meget grundigt og jeg følte mig i gode hænder. Durham, hvor jeg boede i New Hampshire, er en hyggelig by og det var smukt i Portsmouth ude ved havet. Selvom jeg brugte det meste af min tid i kløerne på det amerikanske sundhedsvæsen, nåede jeg at se en del. Men nu skulle jeg videre, og med både blodtryk og dæktryk perfekt trillede jeg nordpå. Jeg skulle langt ud på landet til det nordøstligste hjørne af USA. Jeg var på vej til Maine, hvor jeg skulle bo på en gård. ENESTE STAT MED ÉN STAVELSE Maine er en stat med masser af skov. Faktisk er 89,5% af staten dækket af frodige skove, hvilket placerer dem på førstepladsen på listen over amerikanske stater med mest skov. Nummer to er New Hampshire, som jeg kommer fra. Så to stater med masser af skov og begge med et indbyggertal på omkring 1,3 millioner. Men Maine er næsten fire gange større end New Hampshire. Min køretur fra Durham, New Hampshire ved min næste Couchsurfing vært, Ben og hans blåbær farm, Burke Hill Farm i Cherryfield, Maine er en køretur på 385 km. Jeg lavede derfor et stop undervejs ved det ikoniske fyrtårn, Portland Light Head. Det ligger i Portland – ikke at forveksle med Portland i Oregon, som måske er mere kendt, men faktisk opkaldt efter denne Portland. INTERESSANTE FAKTA OM MAINE Det officielle dyr i Maine er en elg. Denne delstat har omkring 76,000 vilde elge, så er flere end nogen af de 48 stater her syd for Canada. Det officielle insekt i Maine er en honningbi. TheMaine Beekeepers Association blev startet i 1976 for at promovere dette insekts vigtighed. Maine er den eneste delstat i USA, der kun deler grænse med én enkelt anden delstat. Resten af grænsen er til Canada mod nord. Maine er den eneste stat i USA, som kun har én stavelse i sit navn. Maine er den absolut største producent af blåbær. Faktisk bliver 99% af alle de blåbær, der bliver spist i dette land, dyrket her. Så meget passende, at jeg er på vej mod en blåbær-farm for at lære mere om dette. BENS BLÅBÆR-FARM   En af grundene til at jeg valgte at bo så langt ude på landet, var, at det ligger tæt på den smukke Acadia National Park. Den ligger smukt på en lille ø ved havet, og er blevet omtalt til mig som et ”must see”, når man er i Maine, så jeg har planlagt at bruge en hel dag i parken. Køreturen på til Bens gård var virkelig smuk. Mens jeg kom længere og længere ud i naturen kørte jeg forbi mange gårde og søer. Han havde advaret mig om, at det kunne være svært at finde og havde givet mig en lang beskrivelse af, hvad jeg skulle holde øje med for at finde vej. Normalt vil jeg blot kode en adresse ind i Google Maps og køre efter den. Men da der ikke er signal herude, ville det ikke være en mulighed. Hans rutebesked til mig sluttede sådan: ”Du skal bare pege sextanten mod Nordstjernen og så tage den derfra. Det skal nok gå”. Min indre alfa-han gjorde, at jeg mandede mig op og fandt de små skilte og kendetegn på skovvejen – og trillede ind i gårdspladsen. Ben bød mig indenfor i sit nybyggede træhus og hans veninde, Jezebel bød mig en kop kaffe. Da jeg nævnte, at jeg var fra Danmark kastede Ben sig ud i at imponere mig med, at han kunne tælle til ti på dansk. ”En, do, dre, fir, fem, sex, sieben, ot, ni, di”… Jeg var imponeret – også selvom der var en smule tysk i talrækken. Bens gård hedder Burke Hill Farm  og her dyrker de vilde organiske blåbær. Den ligger i Cherryfield, i hjertet at Maines blåbær-land. De dyrker førsteklasses blåbær på omkring 80 hektar land og høster med håndkraft. Indenfor i huset kunne man næsten dufte savsmuld og det friske træ. Ben har bygget det hele selv fra da han fældede det første træ til huset for 15 år siden – og er kun lige flyttet ind for tre uger siden. Så der er stadig et par småting, der mangler at blive lavet. Ben fortæller, at det er dejligt stille – indtil de begynder at arbejde nedenunder. Og kort derefter kunne jeg høre, hvad han talte om. Under boligen gik en håndfuld medarbejdere i gang med at sortere de friskplukkede bær. SORTERER BLÅBÆR Efter blåbær er blevet plukket og samlet bliver de bragt hertil, og lagt på et transportbånd. Først bliver blade og smågrene blæst væk, herefter bliver de små og bløde bær sorteret fra og til sidst bliver de halvdårlige sorteret fra, så det kun er de allerbedste tilbage. En simpel men imponerende proces at være vidne til. SPISER SYLTEDE HAV-SNEGLE Den næste morgen tog jeg afsted for at besøge Acadia National Park, en kort køretur fra Bens hus. Og på vejen stoppede jeg (efter Bens anbefaling) på et sted, der hedder ”The Pickled Wrinkles” for at smage en lokal delikatesse: Syltede havsnegle. Mums. Pickled Wrinkles er et gammel delikatesse. Hummerfiskere får dem i deres fælder, som de trækker hen over havbunden og herefter bliver de syltet og serveret på dette ikoniske sted. Tjeneren fortæller mig lidt om syltningsprocessen, som består af en blanding af eddike og forskellige krydderier. Traditionen med at spise noget så underligt som havsnegle går tilbage til gammel tid, hvor fattige i området begyndte at spise dem – i mangel af andet. Og så fandt de på at sylte dem for at bevare proteiner i dem. Jeg fik serveret en tallerken med tre snegle (mere en rigeligt), som kostede 7 dollars – ca. 15 kr. pr. snegl (også rigeligt). De var ret seje og lidt den samme fornemmelse som at bide i en blæksprutte. Det var ikke så dårligt, men jeg har ikke travlt med at smage det igen. Restauranten er godt klar over, at det ikke er for alle, så på deres hjemmeside står der ”prøv en, hvis du tør”… og det gjorde jeg. ACADIA NATIONAL PARK Med maven fyldt af syltede snegle hoppede jeg tilbage i bilen og fortsatte mod Acadia National Park, som er kendt som kronjuvelen på den atlantiske kyst. Med 3,5 millioner besøgende om året er en af de ti mest besøgte nationalparker i USA, og der er masser af planter og natur, dyr og en rig kulturarv. Jeg fik kørt en smule af vejene og kom ud og gå en lille brøkdel af de 250 km stier. Jeg endte ved havet, hvor jeg sad og filosoferede over mit helbred og udfordringerne ved at være digital nomade. Det var alt, vi havde plads til i denne episode, men jeg er tilbage med mere herfra i den næste episode. Mit navn er Palle Bo og jeg skal videre. Vi ses.

Jay Jack GRC update. Always wonderful to have our close personal friend Jay Jack back on the show. Being a fellow podcaster and one of our inspirations in creating our own show, we wanted to catch up. On top of that, Jay will be in Australia this coming July 2019 to speak more about GRC. As we discussed on the show, this is a great dog sport that allows almost any dog type access. There are of course some conditions that may exclude dogs later on, however the entry levels are amazing. If you don't know who Jay is by now, he hosts his own show called GRC dog talk. Prior to that he was involved in a very successful podcast with fellow trainer and also friend of ours, Chad Mackin. Jay is also a master in Brazilian jiu Jitsu, where he run his gym in Maine USA. This is also GRC headquarters. When you hear Jay talk about his beginning in the dog world and how he shaped his career into becoming GRC, he attributes them to what he learned from his father. You can hear Jay talk about that and more in episodes of Dog training conversations with Chad and many more great pearls of wisdom. We can't talk about a Jay Jack GRC update without mentioning our great friend, Jasmin Whiting, AKA Sweats. Jas is running and managing GRC in Australia and is bringing out Jay for his second tour. Further details To find out more about Jack, can look him up at his official website. The Academy Learn more about Jasmine Whiting through here website Glenn is found these days right here.

G'day Mates, Just finished listening to the most recent episode, very funny but that's cheating using the accent simulator to read out my letter :) The Karen voice is the same one as used in my Garmin Nuvi, some of her pronunciations can be quite funny, she seems to have a funny way of saying some words; Ross and Avenue  for example and often trips up on cache names try getting her to say SHHHH Anyway look forward to the next episode. Best wishes, Damian   From Dave Self (aka Dudley Grunt) The boy has infected me. There are times that I'm minding my own business and hear / see a reference to Canada and find myself thinking / saying, "Canada, Canada! Oy, Oy!"

Many GeoGearHeads talked about how they use mass transit when travelling to save time, money, and aggrevation on "GGH 172: Mass Transit Caching I." Using a cities buses, trains, toley, subways, and more can be faster than dealing with the surface traffic. Many times it's cheaper than parking that rental car. It can also make your trip more enjoyable since your won't have to worry about the local laws and strange streets.http://cacheamaniacs.com/ggh-172-mass-transit-caching-i Dumb Stuff Geocachers Do..

Mercedes Classe C La nuova Classe C esordisce sotto la Stella del claim "The best or Nothing", come tutte le Mercedes. Anticipando la presentazione ufficiale al prossimo salone di Detroit, la berlina media di Stoccarda si propone come nuovo punto di riferimento nel segmento contando su dimensioni cresciute, forme pulite e muscolose, tanta tecnologia e motori sempre più performanti ed efficienti. Più leggera di 100 kg grazie anche alla carrozzeria di alluminio, la Classe C sarà lanciata nel 2014 con motori benzina diesel tutti Euro 6 con potenze tra i 156 ed i 184 CV e consumi ridotti fino al 20%. Successivamente la gamma comprenderà anche le più potenti versioni V6 fino a 333 CV ed un'inedita versione ibrida. Nuova Ford Mustang Dearborn, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Sydney e Barcellona, Sei città di quattro continenti dove Ford ha presentato in simultanea la nuova generazione della leggendaria Mustang. Il design riprende gli stilemi classici che hanno reso la Mustang un vero mito: coda corta e tetto basso, curvature del parabrezza e del lunotto posteriore, luci posteriori composte ognuna da tre gruppi ottici tridimensionali e il classico frontale aggressivo modellato sulle forme di uno squalo. La versione convertibile è presente una nuova capote multistrato isolante. L'abitacolo è più spazioso ed il vano bagagli più capiente. Nuovi i motori, su tutti l'inedito.EcoBoost di 2,3 litri da 309 CV e 407 Nm di coppia che si aggiunge al classico V8 Ford di 5 litri da 436 CV. Red Bull Frozen Rush Red Bull da sempre lega il suo nome ad eventi e manifestazioni che riescono a mettere insieme spettacolo, sport ed un pizzico di sana follia. Per iniziare il 2014 alla grande e non smentire la sua fama, il brand austriaco metterà in "pista" otto Truck Pro 4 da 900 cavalli che gareggeranno in un testa a testa sulle nevi del rinomato Sunday River Resort, Maine USA, Venerdì 10 Gennaio per la Red Bull Frozen Rush. Sfidando i vincoli climatici, gli otto conntendenti dovranno strappare su salite ripide e volare tra salti e discese innevate per testare le loro capacità gli uni contro gli altri, per la prima volta su un terreno sconosciuto ed estremo, come dire, la normalità per le manifestazioni sponsorizzate da Red Bull. Peugeot Competition un successo che si replicherà nel 2014 Peugeot Italia ha festeggiato un'ottima stagione sportiva 2013. Il Leone si è distinto nell'Italiano Rally dove ha conquistato il settimo scudetto tricolore diventando il marchio estero più titolato nel nostro Paese. Premiati i piloti che si sono imposti nella categoria della 24 Ore del Nürburgring, nell'RCZ Racing Cup e nel Peugeot Competition con la 208 R2. Per il 2014 i programmi sono altrettanto ambiziosi. Il 2014, tra l'altro, sarà il 35esimo anno consecutivo del Peugeot Competition, il trofeo promozionale rally riservato ai clienti sportivi del Leone, un vero e proprio record di longevità nel panorama motoristico non solo italiano e Peugeot Italia celebra il traguardo con una struttura del Trofeo totalmente rinnovata. Nell'edizione 2014, infatti, la vettura di punta sarà la nuova 208 R2B ma torneranno in scena anche tutti gli altri modelli omologati a partire dal 1991.

Esta es de esas series que uno coge en verano para pasar los dias mientras llegan las series de mas calidad (y presupuesto) y que al final de la temporada esta deseando que vuelva Julio para volver a ella. Haven se estrenó en Julio de 2010 y va sobre un pueblo tranquilo y pacifico que se encuentra en la costa de Maine (USA). Un lugar idilico donde todo pasa desapercibido en la vida cotidiana de esta localidad. Un lugar donde vive sobretodo gente con problemas.
