Help from a Stranger

This is how I'd pretty much act in real life while hiking outdoors if I happened upon a stranger (the viewer) that need a little help, and maybe some companionship, before parting our separate ways. I'm speaking in my normal voice, but include various ASMR elements such as personal attention (applying first aid, sharing some water & beef jerky), explaining ASMR to someone that doesn't know about it, and even playing and teaching a little about the Native American Flute. A calming, gently trickling stream and beautiful green mid-summer woodlands serves as the backdrop which is full of cicadas, birds, and even some dragonflies and damselflies. Filmed on location in the woodlands of Pennsylvania. Thanks for watching, E.R. Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ephemeralrift1 Twitter: https://twitter.com/EphemeralRift

To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).

To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
