Over the past few weeks I have slowly become addicted to Steemit and dtube!!! Its not normal, I think I have a problem.
So lets start off this introduction because I want you all to know what I all about.
My name is Phil, I'm 35 (I got my age wrong in the intro video haha) and I'm Irish living in Dublin.
I am a husband to a beautiful Polish girl and a farther to two beautiful little girls aged 4 and 5, what we call Irish twins as they are so close in age.
I am a mountaineer who loves climbing all around the world and I'm also a member of the mountain rescue team.
For my day job I am an oracle database administrator but its looking like I will be moving into Cassandra which is a cool open source database engine, watch this space.
So here are a few pics.....
Here you can see me firing a flare to let the rescue helicopter know where we were.
This was me on a mountain rescue training exercise in Wales last year.
Here I am on Mt Elbrus in Russia, the highest mountain in Europe. 
I love to camp in cold weather
During the summer when the evenings are long I like to get out with friends and do some climbing.
Here is my first born, Emilia. She was born in Poland when we lived there for a year so I had to drape her in the Irish flag :-)
This is Emilia meeting her sister Hanna for the first time, I love the expression on her face.
Here they both are all dressed up to be flower girls at my brothers wedding.
This is St Patricks day last year, my wife decided she wanted to dress up as a leprechaun :-)
Here is Hanna wondering what Dadda is drinking. 
One of my proudest days, Emilia climbing her first mountain which happened to be the first one I ever climbed. 
Here is a shot of me trying to speak Polish at my wedding and failing badly.
And here is my wife laughing at me while I fail badly at speaking Polish! 
So my plans for Steemit:
- Blog about all things outdoors
- Vlog daily about mountains, mountain rescue, fitness and life
- Invest in the STEEM blockchain
Let the journey begin !!!!

I love it! Great post. I may reach out to you for some ideas. We are putting together a rescue meeting involving a helicopter this next flying season. We have some local SAR guys who agreed to meet us at one of our paragliding sites and we are going to get all the pilots on the same page when it comes to rescues. We are going to talk about 2way radio communication as well as how we can assist the helicopter with smoke or wind indicators etc.
Yea absolutely. Would love to help you out and advise you any way I can. If I don't know the answer our team has some of the best SAR minds in the country so I'll get an answer for you either way.
very nice. I love nature.
If you wish, look mine introduceyourself post please. I join steemit yesterday:
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@dannynature/hello-its-me-introducemyself
You love nature...oooook?
I'm addicted too!
You have such cute little girls also!!
Im visiting Dublin next month and might vlog for Dtube but not sure yet :D Good luck!!
Thats cool, have you been here before? If you need any advice on where to go give then give me a shout :-)
No haven’t ventured to the emerald Isle yet! And I’m only in Yorkshire!
We’re driving from Dublin to Killarney then Galway and camamera (most likely have spelt that all wrong).
Really looking forward to it!
Oh Killarney, my fav part of the country, I do a lot of climbing down there. Galway and "Connemara" :-) are beautiful, in fact the whole west coast of Ireland is, just very very wet, bring a rain jacket with you :-)
Amazing! So excited!! I love the rain too! Perfect!
HAHA, who loves the rain !!!!!?? Maybe hot tropical rain, but not the cold wet stuff we get here :-)
You are coming to the right place if you like rain so !
I’m from Yorkshire, if you don’t like rain then you’re screwed haha it’s always raining too. But to be fair the rain in Ireland will be different with having the Atlantic right next to you!

I enjoyed that Phil. I’ve been on the receiving end of MRT assistance. I was helicoptered off a hillside in 1989 with a bad fall during my army training. What you guys do is amazing. Thank you!
Hi @camuel thanks for the comment.
Im glad you are still here to be talking to me. Was it a long fall?
Hey Phil, about 40 feet. It was Grassmere in the Lake District when I was 17. I actually talked about it on a video last week! https://steemit.com/dtubedaily/@camuel/6atdlgkw
