Rakia-Fueled Fun: Bulgarian Hospitality at Kurban Party
Get ready for some Rakia-Fueled Fun! This video takes you on a wild ride to a traditional Bulgarian party called Kurban. Buckle up because things are about to get delicious, boozy, and full of infectious energy.
Imagine a giant pot of steaming Churba soup bubbling away over an open fire, filling the air with mouthwatering aromas. Now picture yourself surrounded by the friendliest people imaginable, all eager to share their food, drinks, and culture. That's exactly what happened to me when I stumbled upon a Kurban party in the heart of Bulgaria.
The highlight of the day? The live music! A one-man show turned up the tunes, and the crowd erupted in a wave of Choro dancing. As the Rakia flowed freely, the energy in the room went from joyous to absolutely electric. Laughter filled the air, and the steps got a little wilder with every sip.
By the end of the day, I was stuffed with delicious food, had a belly full of laughs, and found new customers for my chicken eggs. If you're looking for an authentic taste of Bulgarian hospitality and a party unlike any other, then this video is for you!

I found your channel from a comment on one of the justinrhodes videos. Love the content. Im originaly from Vratsa , but I live in Austria since 2000. Pozdravi
Nice and welcome! Actually not too far from me... 😉
42 😁🙏🏽
🤣
Thanks for the great tipps!!!
👍🏼
Huge sweet potatoes it sprouts more in water m.sure U gonna get a bumper harvest ❤
I hope so! ❤️ The bucket might limit it though... 🤔
Thank you all for subscribing! 🙏🏼 I promise to make an update. But be patient, it'll take a while. Nature, you know... 😉
Helaas hier zelfde probleem. Maar we hebben 2 katten. Dus het zal niet een de chip plaats liggen....
Oh no! 🤯 I'll do some more testing soon and will make an update on it... 🤞🏼
Not practical. But I relate to the problem and think it would be better to make a light weight guide that can clamp to the bar and prevent the branch from passing under. When I am cutting small branches, it is when I fell a tree in the woods. I would not take them to the shop, nor take the large setup into the forest. I would like to see if you make a guide that simply blocked the branch from going under the saw toward the user and if the guide is at an angle, it will push the branch into the saw, so the angle should not be too sharp or you could get jams. I would have one saw setup with this guide for the job and a separate saw for felling.
Thanks for your thoughts! These branches are usually from my property and not out of the woods. I'm not bothering bringing them this far. Your idea sounds interesting and I'll put some thinking into it. If I come up with something I'll make another video and post it here. 👍🏼
No.
Ok...
Sweet cherry pie matey just on with my wood so much of it yeh 🍒😁
Haven't really started yet... 🙄
Will the local vet or animal shelter let you borrow a collar or chip? That will make things quicker. You can get the chips in a disc that hangs from a cat collar from a pet shop. Also if you have a pay wave credit card or building access card, you might get lucky.
I doubt it 🙄
@@MonkontheHill Oh sorry to hear it. Our animal people are very kind. You can buy just the chip online for a few dollars. called "pet microchip".
My preferred vet is almost an hour away and I'm not that often there...
Hello wood&tin! I got a chip from a vet! Funny enough the flap does not react to it at all. The vet ensured that the chip is readable within the packaging. But finally I'm in contact with the manufacturer support and they are very helpful. Still working on a solution and I'll post an update if I know more...
@@MonkontheHill Many thanks. I have repaired over a million broken electronic gadgets of every variety. I have also been trained at a RFID manufacturing company amongst other things. I know you want to solve the puzzle yourself. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Step one. Divide the problem in 2. is it the IR sensor or the RFID sensor that's not sending the 'go" command. I assume you have paired the new chip with the cat door already. At this point I'm guessing faulty Chip or Failed pairing of devices. Put the cat trough again to be sure the cat door is still working if you haven't already.
At this point I would like to split the problem in two. Is it the coil not detecting the cat's chip...or is it the IR sensors not detecting the cat's chin. I would like to get the cat within the magnetic field .. but not as far as the two IR sensors, then trip the IR sensors with my palm. Be interesting to see how far the magnetic field extends beyond the loop. With the usual loops it quite far.
Let me test this and I'll get back here reporting. Thanks for your thoughts! 👍🏼
Observation 1. The two lower optical sensors are probably to save power. 1: One sends out an infrared or UV beam, that it reflects off the cat and back down on to the other receiver sensor. 2: Once the beam detects a cat, it powers up the detection coil, which in turn produces a detection field. back to the video.
This might make sense
I used to work with RFD stuff a few decades back. Let me watch your vid and see if I can come up with a quick fix. I will tell you that adding wire to the detection loop will not be a good idea because it is tuned like a piano, so it will go out of tune with the rest of the detection circuitry let me watch the video and have a think.🙂
Hi wood&tin. That's interesting! I won't mess with the coil anymore then. 😉
Life 🌟🧌🧙♂️
Every now and then it's magical 😉
Sweet cherry pie yum yum yum thank matey do this myself! ❤🍒😁
Yup, don't eat that stuff without upgrade 😁
@m67pia There's a problem answering you so I make a new comment: It doesn't matter what way. Easiest is to hold the flap up and lure the cat through until you hear a click. Then you're good. 👍
Thank you i will try. My cat is a little bit scared of new things.
With the scent of your hand mixed with its favored treat it should work. Just don't let the flap touch the cat the first time. Let me know how it went. 🤞🏼😉
Do i have to put the head of the cat in from the tunnelside to synk the chip, or can put the head of the cat in from the door flap side?
Check
Do you know the motor specs if I want to buy a replacement?
Sorry no since mine was working. But now you know how to open it up fully to check by yourself. 😉 If you find out you could leave the information here...
Sweet cherry pie matey 🍒😁
👍🏼
You couldn't afford an axe?
An axe is for splitting, not for cutting. 😉
@@MonkontheHill Splitting axes are for splitting. Do you think people just used saws in the past to cut wood up like you're doing, for firewood? They certainly didn't have chainsaws. There's different axes my dude.
@@Raziaar I know there are different axes. But I'm definitely faster than people in the past or anyone using an axe. Or at least me using an axe. 😂
Sweet cherry pie mate nice one keep it super 🍒😁
I'm trying 😁👍🏼
Have you tried making a 1 to 1 ratio mix of baking soda and honey corn bread mix? The rats eat it and they magically disappear. I always have it available in my chicken coop in a container or housing that would only be accessible to the rats/mice.
Hi and thanks! Nope... Not sure if this is available here. But I'll have a look and try it out. Mama rat is still around providing young ones on a regular basis. 🙄

Should'a used two barrel knots to joint the damaged rope with another. That'd dun fixer up real good n' snug like! +1
Wait, is that a plastic wire electric fence? I also hear these everywhere where I live. Electric fence wires are completely metal here though
Right, it's plastic with tiny cables in there. Fancy shmancy all metal wires are too expensive around here. 😂
Haydeeeeee 😂
Still not fixed... 🙄
@@MonkontheHill hmpf!
I hear that sound on basically every electric fence.
Well... That's where sparks are. Sparks=fire and they melt the fence. Little by little... 😉

Mine has stopped working. I figured the batteries died but the red light still comes on when pressing the button but it won’t clip open anymore, no clicking sound either. Is it broken would anyone say? 🤔
Did yours work again after battery change? Mine had new batteries in.
@@MonkontheHillyeah I tried new ones. Just pressing the button should trigger the catch but all it does is turn on the red flashing light. I’ve just cello taped the catch down for now…
Oh well... Stay creative I guess! 😂👍🏼

🫣 The snake will not harm the chickens or are they safe? I also wonder: apart from stealing the food (bad enough), are rats or mice harmful for chickens (biting, giving diseases, stressing them out...)?
Hi Ella. The chickens are too big for the non-venomous snake. It might go for chicks though or snatch an egg every now and then. But that's for the aeskulapian snake here. In other parts of the world there are snakes that kill and eat chickens! For the rats it's more or less the same. No problem with adult chickens but chicks and eggs can be on the menu. I had up to 20 rats raiding the coop and the chickens were not bothered. During the day mice would be on the chickens menu. 😉
