Then there is the Travel Channel. I love to travel I enjoy seeing different parts of the

[doc03]

world I will never get to see in person. The only thing on the Travel Channel 24/7 apparently is Ghost Adventures and Paranormal crap.
The same people must make all these so-called reality shows on History, Travel and Discovery they all seem to have the same narrator and background sound effects. I don't know what channel it is but Naked and Afraid, I don't want to see that.
I think I have been watching too much TV.

1. I'm convinces that within the next year

they will rebrand the channel from Trvl to Pnml.

But again, blame Discovery. Since they took over the Scripps channels (Travel, HGTV and Food Network) they have seriously changed the fabric

[dhill926]

10. yep....didn't realize Discovery took all of them over...

until recently. Travel Channel has gone to shit. And to think, Antony Bourdain used to have a show on it.....jesus...

21. I loved on the Discovery Channel, "Wings."

Most of those programs, that were about aircraft, were terrific.

They had so many great, not so great, and just plain weird aircraft on those programs.

Look up the plane called the "Goblin."

2. Travel Chan is my go to when Trump appears on the screen.

That or Weather Channel.

I watch Life Above Zero as well.

👍

4. I do like Life Below Zero and the Alaska homesteading show, I think they are on

National Geographic.

[Budi]

5. Yes, Nat Geo Channel.

As much as I'd love living that free life, I doubt I'd be quite as successful & skilled as necessary.

But I'd like to try!

7. They would find me in my cabin dead from starvation and hypothermia nt

[Budi]

9. Bears can get in your cabin too! I wouldn't know how to put ammo in a rifle either!

And I'd suck at chopping down a tree for firewood.
And I'm pretty sure I couldn't build a cabin.

Do they have internet?
😬

[doc03]

12. I suppose you could get internet from a

satellite of you would need electricity for that. I ain't using no damn out house either.

[Budi]

14. Haa. Me either! In the dead of winter, -50 degrees

Wonder if they have an Embassy Suites nearby just in case things don't come together so well.
..or if the bear eats my survival book.

😬

3. You know what's fun? Street View on Google Maps.

Just pick a place at random - say, Düsseldorf or Trondheim or Akureyri or Calcutta or Nairobi, go to Street View and see what it looks like up close.

[Budi]

6. LOL. I am certainly going to try that!

Interesting, thanks

[csziggy]

17. Try Geoguessr! It's a lot of fun and you get to see all sorts of places

https://www.geoguessr.com/

Basically, they drop you someplace in the world on Google Maps and you have to figure out where you are. I usually travel down the road until I find signs that give me clues. Then I open Google Maps to find the exact spot so I can mark it on the Geoguessr map. You can do five places or stop at one, unless you also sign into some sort of social media, it really doesn't matter.

I've just played it for fun and to see different parts of the world from Street View.

[Budi]

18. You know what? I'm already on level 526 -Candy Crush & screaming on the inside..

LOL. I haven't played that game in 10 years so I must be going mad from boredom. 🤪

I will definately give your link a look, & it sounds like something I would really enjoy.

Thank you so much. And I reeeeeally reeeeally mean that!
Maybe my brain will come out of hybernation..


Omg I looked at the site. It says:

"World
Embark on a journey that takes you all over the world. From the most desolate roads in Australia to the busy, bustling streets of New York City."

Thanks!

[csziggy]

19. I played for several years and enjoy the heck out of it

But we spend over two months driving around the UK last fall so my wanderlust is sated for now. When I start playing again, I know I am ready for another trip.

[greymattermom]

8. I watch Traveling Robert on youtube

He and his RV have taken me a lot of places recently, many of them repeat visits from my past road trips. He's a Miami Cuban guy who narrates it himself and does the music too. Relaxing. And he does a great job of making meals for one on a one burner RV stove.

[Budi]

11. That would interest me. My goal for retirement is to travel in an RV until I die.

I've never been around them much, so I'd probably be the one stopped on the side of the road.

I do know a lot about booking hotel rooms tho! Ha.
Face it, I better watch that show because he will teach me plenty.
I'd be Clark Griswold. 😥


Thanks

13. The AWE channel

American Wealth Enterprises I think. It had just been THE WEALTH CHANNEL.

I had no idea we had this channel (years ago) but one day I’m flipping thru and I see this woman swimming in a tropical underwater setting. Okay what’s this. It was “exotic islands” or something. The whole point of this channel was to creative envy for things you’ll never be able to afford.

So that goes off and there’s this show about these $1 Million wristwatches. Hand made by one artist per watch in Germany or Belgium or somewhere. Nice but I don’t see a million dollars for a watch. First watch this pans across the screen...okay...then they show the backside - it a couple having sex. Huh? A few minutes more and there is a engraved image of two naked women together. I’m cracking up at this point. I stop it and ask my wife to see this. We are dying. THEN there was this special Patriotic watch with a tri-corner hat guy on a horse with a young maiden - horse is in full gallop by a church watchtower - and they are also having sex.

Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen on TV.

[Budi]

15. What the hell. I'll check if I get that on Direct TV.

That would be the purpose I guess. To create envy..& sell a product.
But what a way to keep you from turning the channel!!

That is crazy

[UTUSN]

16. The University of YouTube has so much of travel (& everything else) you will be worn out as though

you crawled over every inch of everywhere. It can also be cast on your big screens.

[LeftInTX]

20. Absolutely!
