Possibly - he is 'Up Country' - and sorting out things before he gives us any data on where he was - so as to be secure in his seed hunt - and not worry about any outside influences that may inhibit or derail his quest?

We can all think of possible negative things that may have happened to him - but let us think and wish positive things for him - perhaps our collective best wishes will help him somehow - someway?

*Oh - someone sent me some seeds in some trail-mix today - and I don't know what variety they are - so if the sender see's this can he/she PM me the details?

Brilliant! I'd say stocks in trail mix companies will go through the roof! LOL

Maybe yes Gypsy, but this trail mix its more like bird food and prank.

Oh hey.... it's no prank. At least in Canada.

Look at 1.5 Commodities Exempt
Having said that, you have to be convincing with a destination or web address to make it seem legit because with a big old bag of hemp seed the border agent might check. If you address it to the "London Urban Birders Club", and have a one page website (like a free WIX page), you're golden.

Until we have instant star trek DNA Sequencing tricorders, it's up to the border agent. So be a little convincing.

I think its about original sealed bags, other way, why they make that law if its so easy to circumvent, that dont make any sense.

I managed to find out where these Jagerscnitzel seeds came from - that were in the trail-mix - so it all good.

They are a server fund donation - from a legal state - oh what a palava - lol.

I had 2 shipments not make it because of "Foreign Contaminants" Aka: dirty with sticks/stems, leaf matter, etc. Both were in plastic bags within Burlap bags and sealed like they do small coffee bags. Were they dirty? My guy says No. But we're talking 3rd world people here. So who knows.

I wrote before this was one of the best threads ever.
But, This is intense. I have never checked on a thread so many times in a week.
Every time I see this thread pop up on "My I.C." I'm hoping for good news.
More good thoughts being sent his way.

onefinity · Dec 6, 2018

This is a very cool thread.

Personally would like to see someone find true heirloom mexicans like true Acapulco Gold or Zacatecas Purple that survived untouched since the 70's. Spiritual stuff. Laughter inducing stuff. Also the "tripping grass" that came out of southeast asia

Hi !

All the best from a fellow traveler !

Does the seed hunter plan to pay the Bhutan visa fee (200USD per day) ? Or he has his entries ?

Titoon

Gypsy Nirvana · Dec 6, 2018

He did tell us that he had acquired a visa for Bhutan - and that he was prepared to pay the now $350 per day fee to visit that nation, which includes a personal guide - a while back.

We still have not heard from him in maybe 2 weeks now - so am a bit worried and concerned for his safety - hopefully he will be in touch soon.

When I was traveling I was terrible at notifying anyone where I was. I will assume he is having a great time and finding some amazing farms.

Guy Brush · Dec 6, 2018

Is there even any infrastructure for mobile phone or internet in Bhutan?

Thule · Dec 6, 2018

I would check in to this thread in a year or so

It's way past peak growing season and these things take time any way.

Kudos for having Bhutan and Xinjian on the list btw! Although Bhutanese strains probably are near identical to Nepalese ones there is less chance of contamination from western genetics on the Bhutanese side. In Nepal they have grown western and wld hashplant genetics side by side with local plants for decades (which is still only a drop in the ocean) but the Bhutanese landraces are very likely to be pure.

Xinjian is a wild card for sure. I don't know if the sativa hashplant of the old still persist but I wish you luck in finding it.

Since you're open to suggestions maybe the Altay mountain range could be worth exploring!
