“In person, he is a just as much of a genuinely nice guy and excellent teacher as you’d expect based on his YouTube channel”
“Scott had previously scouted all of the locations over the recent years, so he knew what species to expect based on scouting, along with his in-depth knowledge of each species behavior patterns and habitats.”
