What's on These Memory Sticks? - Plant Mail Unboxing.

hey guys welcome back to the channel in this video we will be talking about these these little usbs that we spoke about previously in our last video where we actually took this where is it where we took this little plate over here with these plastic rings and we tried to get it to work but it didn't work as most of you guys should hopefully know but yeah in this video we'll be talking about these things and a little bit more about this and also some of the books that we got so let's start the video [Music] okay guys so as i said we will be looking oh finally dropped it we will be looking at our little usbs over here and we'll be looking at what is actually on them because as i've said i have no idea what is on them i just have a general idea now as i said in our last video we took this plate and we tried to make the little rings around it that make pots like this in the background if you guys remember that previous video if you haven't checked it out make sure that you do check that video out after you watch this one but we we're going to put the rings around here so we can make little squares which means that we can make our own type of net pots now a couple of you guys said that i should turn the plates around and use these pins at the back now the thing about this is that these are literally just the screws that hold the circular pieces here at the top together and these circular pieces i think they're like australian scents like they're i realized today i was actually looking at them like up close and i see those says like australia on them and there is some greening on them which means that it's probably copper or something but yeah this is actually australian money on here so that's pretty cool i guess so yeah anyway this round bit here is necessary um for the pvc rings because this run but gives you the square obviously because it's a square shape but it gives you that rounded corners that you normally get with square putts if i were to use the back side here these actual pins firstly the pvc rings would be going on the nuts at the back which means that the corners would be jagged and not symmetrical even at all and also even if i did put the rings on the back the rings are still too small essentially to put onto the pins here at the back it's it's meant for the top here and this is as i said it's it's it's literally like this guys so just wanted to let you guys know so that you understand that i did actually really try but i found out that i do have a big pot i really thought that that part that i was doing using was the biggest one i have i have a much bigger pot so we will definitely do this again guys i don't know why i didn't i didn't even think about it i didn't even know that i had a bigger pot but it doesn't matter let's now take our little usbs and let's see what's on them okay guys and now let's open up this little cassette holder with our usbs inside so our first usb that we will look at is this one here number one um just because it's number one let's put it in let's see what they've got okay so i've just opened up the usb now and it looks like we have yeah we have eight videos over here on the usb and everything else looks like pictures so we have a lot of pictures that we have in here guys and obviously all these pictures are pictures of plants and other things that he's seen throughout the video so let me open up these videos and see what exactly is going on here okay so i've gone through all of the different videos and the pictures on this usb here and i'm not going to show it all to you guys because there's a lot of footage and a lot of pictures but i will include a couple of these stills that he actually put onto this usb so you guys can see exactly what he saw in these videos too and yeah it's essentially him literally walking throughout this park here and looking at all the different plants that are around there all the you know the wildlife and the nature and all the different like buildings or different interesting landmarks i guess that you can find while walking with him here so it's a super interesting video and as i said before if you guys do want to check out some of his videos like this make sure that you check him out on youtube his channel name is wretched davian so you can very easily go to his channel and actually watch these videos for yourselves so what we're going to do now is we're going to take usb1 out and we're going to see what's on usb number two number two oh it's on both sides okay now let's see what's in number two imagine we just had like one million dollars in cryptocurrency on this thing guys that would be insane but we're not all that lucky so let's see what we have on here so i just opened it up now it looks like we have more videos the videos that's like a continuation of the videos that are on usb number one and a lot of pictures on this usb as well guys so definitely a lot of pictures and a lot of videos to actually go through so i'm not as i said i'm not gonna put these videos onto this video that i'm busy recording right now because in this video would be like an hour or so long and these are the same videos that he posts on his youtube channel and it's super super interesting stuff you know obviously the native wild carnivorous plants native to australia he's looking at them all in his state southern australia so it is super super cool to check that out so now that we've actually gone through the two usbs and we know what's on them let's now look at some of the books that we actually got guys okay guys so that is it for the usbs as i said i did think that there may have been some other things there that i could obviously show you guys a little bit more of but of course we have some videos there and pictures exactly as he said so yeah that's exactly what we got some videos and pictures and as i said i can't put them on to the video here because i could get copyright strikes and all of those other silly things like that because no one really knows how the youtube algorithm works that well so got to do what we got to do but anyway let's now look at the actual books that we received in the mail so we have six different books essentially that we got from wretched david in the mail and the first one we will look at is this yeah this is condo this book here obviously if you can read japanese you'll know exactly what to say is maybe say something like carnivorous plants of the world i don't know because i don't speak japanese but this is a picture book a picture color book from i forgot already like about yeah about 40 or so years ago and this is gonna this is gonna be super super interesting for us to actually look at because it is literally a book full of color picture plants of all the different colors plants that you can find in the world now that is the condo book we have two national geographic books obviously like i said before they're quite old and i know you guys laugh at me when i say that but these books are from 1989 and this one here from 1964. so this one's about 40 years old and this one's about 60 or so years old so i mean in my opinion that's pretty old but obviously you guys beg to differ so we will open these up i have actually not opened these up at all they are still in the same wrapper that i received them in because i just want to make sure that they stay protected because obviously these are super super cool um books and i don't want to mess them up and then the last three articles basically that we got is the canvas plant newsletter of australia you guys in the in america you have the canvas plant newsletter that's it just newsletter in australia is of australia so yeah pretty similar names and we have two trevor park news um two trumpet park news articles as well which will be super super interesting for us to actually look at so let's firstly start off with the condo book like i originally stated now i know some of you guys may find this video a little bit boring because we're just looking at books but i think it is quite important and interesting to actually look at some of these you know books and whatever canvas plans back from quite a few years ago to actually compare how different things are now compared to them because obviously everything's pretty pretty easy basically these days if you want to see how an appendix looks you just google it literally maybe back 40 years ago when smartphones weren't really a thing where dial up internet was actually quite difficult to actually access and not everyone had it or even a computer and there wasn't anything really like google it may have been very difficult for people to actually find out how these plants looked especially in color and a book like this would have been basically super awesome for someone who wants to see how all the different canvas plants may have looked so what i will do is that i'm just going to show you guys a couple of the different pages maybe we'll look at each of the different species i mean all the different genuses are the canvas plants in this book so that we can actually spend enough time going through each book and we don't spend the whole video only on one so because it is a japanese book in japan you read from right to left like this so that's why it's drastic on the right hand side and then you have utricularia all the way on the left but if you do open it from the left to the right you do get a load of little bit of english see over here just some information about the plants but it's really what we're here for is to look at the actual plants themselves and just to let you guys know i'm pretty sure that this book has also been signed by the actual um writer the authors of the book as you can see right there the two signatures of mr condo and his i think is his brother as well so that's super super cool guys anyway let's look now at some of these pictures over here if you can read japanese let me know what this says because i can't but it looks like looks like the activity of the trap of the venus flagshop while it closes which that's pretty cool and you can see a nice venus flashlight picture over here and to be honest in my opinion this is a really high quality picture um especially like printed out like this this this is literally like a picture that's if you were to post on the facebook group these days it literally looks that high quality that you wouldn't even know that this picture was maybe taken 40 or 50 years ago so it just shows that even back then the the camera quality was actually pretty good you know as a kid growing up you watch the sports and tv and you just see pixels everywhere so where were those cameras back then you know i'm trying to watch something on tv and everything's just pixelated but here in this book we have really good pictures which is crazy so here is some some more drastic pictures drastic falcon area over here on the left drastra erythro iris guys i can't speak on the ratia these are tuberous structure they look really really cool some more drastically it looks like a pygmy on the right here and drastra linearis on the left super good pictures guys i'm very impressed with how this looks so i can understand why richard david says that when this first came off the press everyone was super excited at the at the quality of it i'd like i definitely understand now because these pictures are really really good here is drostera regiae the world's biggest sanji over here so hopefully you guys can see the main picture itself of the actual drastra is a little bit more pixelated or lower resolution than the picture of the flowers up here at the top um i hope that you guys can tell what i'm trying to say but it looks like they may may have had different cameras for the different for the different pictures because as i said the main picture doesn't look as clear as the picture of the flowers and also something that i just realized guys is look at the type of pots that they are growing the droso rija in those are terra cotta pots now some of you guys who know about drost regime the king sanju you guys know that they actually don't mind you know having minerals and fertilizers in the soil obviously not too much like what we did we killed ours because we were idiots but you can actually grow them in terra cotta pots obviously and if you do want to grow your dresser reach our enough terracotta pot you definitely can so yeah that's just something i just realized right now here's some nice pictures of some sarah senior you can see the flowers over there that sarah senior purple ray of flowers and obviously the plants next to it and here are some nice pictures of different appenties here we have the pentius truncata and here the plenty stereo cephalotus guys for albany pitcher plant native here to australia on the left we have bubbles gigante some cool pinguicular pictures here of their flowers pinriculars are actually fertilized or pollinated sorry by hummingbirds so some of their different flowers are quite long for the actual tongue of a hummingbird or even the hummingbird moth to have their tongue reach all the way into the flowers here we have some utricularia some cool traps over here so very cool traps and more utricular picture pictures over here the nice red utricularia culture on the right and poly pump phlox multifidia i i've never heard of that before guys but yeah essentially as i said this is a color picture book of the different canvas plants and that's exactly what it is it is super super cool super nice pictures from you know about 40 years ago of all the different plants and it's super cool to actually go through them and see them and i haven't done much reading on this book because i've been quite busy with quite a few other things but i am very excited to actually sit down with this book and go through all of the pages one by one even though i can't really read japanese it'll be super super cool to see the pictures okay next up we will look at the canvas plant newsletter of australia so wretched davian told me that this was this is an original um newsletter but the only difference between this one and the other copy that he has because i think he said he has two or three copies of this but that this one just doesn't have the names of all of the members so obviously it's not a massive difference but it's still unoriginal it's super super cool so we will as i said just go through this really really quickly with you guys so you know what's actually inside of one of the very first newsletters that ever came out this is obviously anastasia volume number four so the fourth one and it was published in march of 1980 so that was exactly 40 years ago so we have a nice editor's information on the left some stuff from the editors of the cpn the letterbox on the right i have read this one already so i'll just tell you exactly what's going on here this is a very very cool concept that people within australia they send the letters to the cpn the converse plant newsletter people they send letters to them talking about different subjects that may have been in previous issues so there may be a question in a previous volume and you can then reply to it and mail it off to the cpn and then they put your answer or any other questions that you may have or different ideas or thoughts about the plans you can send it off to them and they put it inside of this this book which is super super cool so that's what that's what this book here um is doing that this section is explaining to us and that goes on for about two pages then you have an article over here saying the names of the panties and cultivation and what this is essentially is explaining where the different names of the nepenthes actually comes from like the origin of the names and why some of them are named in specific ways which is obviously super super interesting too here we have an article on all the different types of saracenic species how they look like how they grow where they're native to all of that interesting stuff like that just talking essentially about you know just the general information which obviously you could just do a google search these days you know back 40 years ago you would have this book or this this newsletter to give you all this information which is super super cool because even back then you guys didn't even have youtube and obviously you couldn't watch a video on the different types of sarasota species too so it's very very interesting more sarasota species and he has a beginner's page so obviously if you have just started us looking after your canvas plans you can come and look at the beginner's page and see exactly how to look after in this instance cephalotus and you can figure out how to grow your plants and the very cool thing that this article actually shows us is how they used to grow plants before i have been told by ratchet davian how growing cannabis plants over the over the years from when he was growing them when he was younger is that things are very very different now since then to now it's so different because back then was like grow your plants in this way here's the information how to look after it but the information we have these days is slightly different so having something like this is super super interesting to actually see the differences between what we know now versus what we know back then okay guys i don't want to spend too long on this either but we have some tips here on tuberous drastra from mr alan lowe lowry and we have a seed bank over here and we have plants and seed sources so essentially people who are selling plants and how we can collect gemma from pygmy drusters by mr andrei hovath he has a little device over here which is super super cool you just suck it in and then you can collect the pygmy drawstrings gemma which is super cool i've actually seen it a couple of times so this is a little diagram of actually how to do it some cartoons carnivorous plants author like talking about the author and at the back it's the trading post so you can send off saying i'm looking for this i have this whatever so this is super super cool to actually have guys and to see the differences between all these things okay guys so we still have two of the catalogs from triford news and we still have the two national geographic books i don't want to have this video going on for too long because there's quite a lot but if you want me to look at each and every article or thing individually let me know in the comments below because then i can very easily do one video dedicated to each and every book if that's what you guys are looking for but i don't really think you guys would want me to just do one video just talking about a book so that's why i'm just going over these things pretty quickly with you guys the price for some of these things guys carnivorous plants by charles darwin one thousand dollars cannibis plants of australia volume one by allen lowry one thousand dollars guys the price for some of these books carnivorous plants by be juniper and rj robbins and dm joel 2 500 yo maybe i should write some books guys damn guys tell me if i should write a book because if i if i can make like two thousand dollars from writing a book i'll do it yeah anyway guys as i said i'm not gonna go through the other one because it's basically the same stuff but now let's go through the super old national geographic book and guys don't be offended i'm just saying it's old because i'm young so we will go through this book here the one from 1964. as i said it is about 56 years old down 1964 so around this whatever so here we go guys this is so cool i even feel like the actual size of the book is a little bit smaller than a4 yeah you see what i'm saying but even this is bigger than a4 but let's see i have not opened this so i've just opened it now with you guys for the first time so the first thing we have are advertisements guys nothing has changed in the past 60 years so we have some advertisement advertisements for hamilton electric guys so now all of the 200 people watching this video hamilton electric is for you what's up now more adverts here we go mr lena carmenko phd more clever words so he's a society's vice president for reach research and exploration probably here at national geographic we have another advert and another two pages of adverts and another another advert okay i'm just gonna find a page that doesn't have an advert for you guys let's try that okay guys so there are mainly adverts in this but like a kind of a mixture of an advert some quite interesting things so advert advertising kind of stuff but what i did do is that i randomly opened up to a random page and i'm pretty sure this is a reason why mr richard david actually has these books and shared with us because there is an article in canvas plants i honestly i just randomly opened it up and i came to it so i got very lucky it says malaysia's giant flowers and insect trapping plants by paul azal who has a phd and is a national geographic senior staff who is also a natural scientist so yeah this is very very cool let me see a little bit more on it yeah there's a lot in it so here we can see the actual mountains that he went to and here is a picture of the ampullaria on the right with an ant and a lady over there looking at the actual ampullarias so they're about the size of an egg making it a little bit bigger than the size of an egg but this super cool plants to actually have and i wish i could actually have them and he shows you here his trip that he took on the airplane but essentially there's just more ratings there and here you can see them drinking out of then append these pictures i wouldn't do that because there's like bugs and whatever in there but you can see all of the dried up insects that have been caught at the bottom left and some more pictures of the actual plants this looks like what is this oh okay yeah okay i thought i thought it was nepenthe's rafflesiana but it's it's this big flower the world's biggest flower which smells really bad i've heard but yeah you can see how big it actually is that guy can feel his head inside of that flower and it's just more about the expedition and finding different plants and whatnot so super cool stuff this actually looks like a little veloso that they have over here on his hand yeah it is a veloso super interesting just grab a plant out the wild like that and here's some more so that's essentially all that i'm going to talk about there's there's a couple more pages in here talking about the canvas plans which i'm not really going to go into with you guys because as i said these kind of videos may be quite boring but as i said also if you guys want to see more of them let me know but this concludes all of the stuff that we got in the mail from mr wretch david once again reggie david thank you so so much for all of this awesome stuff i really appreciate this it is super cool to
