Calling all of the people who participated in the Plant ID video passaround?

I got all the videos back but the Marty Simon one. Does anyone have it?
 
Hi HD,

I was not part of the passaround, but I have Marty's video which I purchased awile ago.

I can send you mine to borrow if yours doesn't show up.
 
Nobody really reviewed or contrasted these videos in the thread.

The last person I can find in the thread who mentioned the Marty Simon Vid was M. Needham. The next person who viewed them was Tarmix so I sent him and email to find out if it was in the package when he got it.
 
I'll say it again folks: if you step up to participate in a passaround, then make sure you step up and meet your obligations to take care of the passaround item(s), and make sure they are actually passedon to the next person.

There is no excuse for adults to lose a passaround item.
 
I got an email back from Tarmix and he said he thought they were all there when he had them but he didn't specifically identify the Marty one so I emailed him back with a description of it.

If it was there when he had it for sure then I will email the next person.

To be honest I was slightly let down by this passaround. Not only did it start in Feb of this year and I just got the stuff back minus one, but almost nobody even felt moved to comment on the vids, the content, which they liked best, which ones had plants native to their areas.
 
Wow HD. Im sorry bro. That is a kicker.... I hope it just got accidentally left out and is playin catch up with ya. I hope you find it.....

That is one of the coolest passaround ideas Ive seen on here. I wouldve loved to get in on it. I didnt read the thread on it, but I remmember you seemed to be having trouble with it, and it took forever......
 
The only reason I did not participate was I no longer have a VCR..I thought it was a great idea!
I hope the Video shows up soon !
 
Kicking this one back up again. All participants! Can you check to see if you have my copy?

That was the original I sent around I didn't keep a copy so I'll have to get another if nobody has it!:thumbup:
 
Making this a sticky temporarily, with an addendum to the title.

Whomever screwed up, just fix it and all's well. Either find it and send it, or buy a replacement copy.

STEP UP, THOUGH! :mad:
 
My pleasure, HD. If you want, email me contact info of all participants and I will help you with calls and emails to get your video back.

In the spirit of this forum, I would like to suggest that if this is not found, we start a kick-in fund to replace the video. I don't know what it would cost, but I would be willing to kick in a few $ and mass a Paypal payment to purchase a new video and get this back to right for a very active and supportive fellow forumite (meaning Hollowdweller).
 
Well this stinks.

I wasn't part of the passaround but I have 5$ to help replace the video. If anyone who benefited from HollowDweller's generosity in this passaround wants to contribute a couple of bucks I would be happy to head up an effort to replace HD's video.
 
Hmmm... Is this video even still available? All I see on Marty's site is a Wild Food and Herb DVD.

HD, is that the correct DVD?
 
Hey HD,

It was a while since I had the videos. However, I distinctly remember shipping out as many videos as I received. Just so that I can do a sanity check, can you say how many videos were in the passaround initially?

It would at least be a reference point for where things went wrong. If it is the same number, we can ask people behind me in the passaround. If it is different, we can start asking those before.

I hope this all works out. It was a generous passaround.

One DVD by Marty Simon - missing

2 VHS by Mors Kochanski - here

1 Free food for backpackers - Here

The one by Marty was in a clear plastic round case. It was white I think and the DVD itself had the Wilderness Learning Center Logo on it.


I just figured since most people here know Marty that they would remember his video.
 
Hollowdweller, I know what it feels like to not get things back - I've lost enough that way. Especially upsetting when it's something you value and you've gone out of your way to help others.

I wasn't part of the passaround but I'll kick in $5 as well if you don't get it back. Just let us know where to send it if it comes to that.

Hopefully though, it will 'turn up'.

Rick.
