I wouldn't have thought of myself as having a gift for improvised commentary... what it actually is, you see, is just being a massive showoff with an irresistable compulsion to show off whenever I have a spotlight or a microphone or a camera pointed at me.

Also I have the ability to edit out the bits wot suck or are just awkward silences or stuttering or failed jokes or garbled audio.

That helps.

A lot.

I was also desperately resistant to the idea of hiking anywhere when I was a kid. I was scared of snakes, spiders, sharp edges, long drops, I was scared to even TRY to climb anything I had to use any kind of acrobatic skill to get over, I couldn't handle bruises or scrapes or cuts, I was lazy, I hated the heat, I felt embarrassed by my inadequacy in comparison to the adults, I felt even MORE embarrassed having to wear shorts or sleeveless shirts...

...and in short, I grew out of it and grew to LOVE tromping around in the woods, alone or dragging friends around, climbing shit, strolling through shin-deep water, tromping through mud, scrambling over slippery wet leaf-covered hills and through thorn bushes, considering the excursion a failure if I didn't come out of it bruised or bleeding...

Really, if you just give me some open woodland and free time, I can get REALLY imaginative with it. XD
