Inspiring talk wasn't it. Looking forward to hearing more about his Romania project.

Very much enjoyed the bothy project, especially since there are family connections with the Mountain Bothy Association. More than half of the 2 hours of this video are black and silent, happily this is after the content with Nicholas's presentation.

Nicholas: You can tell your mother this story. Back in 1983 I was working on a research project with black bears. We worked 10 days on/4 days off and on one of my weekends I went to visit my parents. My mother asked me to go in and pay her car insurance for her. I did so, and the agent owed me about a dollar change. However, she set everything aside and started talking to me about life insurance... "You're a young man, you should be thinking about your future..." Finally she asked, "And what do you for a living?" "I trap bears." And without another word she gave me my paperwork and send me on my way... :-)
