No place I find more peace than standing in a river waving a stick at Trout
I love this channel. I just recently found it and it helps me sleep with my tinnitus. Thanks for all the wonderful videos!
how do rivers manage to stay so caloming while shaping entire landscapes over millions of years?
Sending hate from East Korea hope everyone doesn’t sleep well and stays up after waking up at 3am
Anyone creep out from the sound?
Beautifully peaceful. Rivers are like the earth’s own heartbeat, and the way you explain their hidden science makes it feel even more soothing. Perfect dreamy learning before bed. 🌙
It’s peaceful to realize that every river has its own story —
born from mountain snow, carrying memories of forests, stones, and time itself.
Thank you for floating with us tonight
The accent is a bit off on this one
That's very beautiful. I'm waiting for every new video
