Hello! Hope everyone's keeping well in this world that, despite all odds, gets weirder and weirder by the day. 

I've been hella busy trying to figure out how to edit videos and such for the YouTube channel along with producing thousands of spore syringes, but with a bit of help it’s all coming along nicely. Perversely, I enjoy the process of beginning at the point of knowing 'literally nothing about how to do something', and then trying to best to get to a point where I’m happy enough with it. Feels like progress, ya know? It’s boring, not learning new things. I'm not saying I've learned how to film and edit videos yet, far from it, but I'm enjoying butting my head against the brick wall of ignorance.

To that end, the YouTube channel is now up and running, so if you’re desperate to see what my kitchen looks like then you are gonna feel like you’ve won the fucking lottery because it’s on there. Just have a look for Orangutan Trading Co on YouTube and your wildest kitchen-interior dreams will all come true (this surely must apply to one of you out there haha). Like I said last time, it’s pretty much just me cooking some stuff that I think is good to cook and also not stupidly complicated. Might come in handy, who knows?

I have now, finally, after months of trying to find the time, got the four new spore syringe types up on the site for purchase. Panama, Red Boy, Puerto Rican, and Purple Mystic, added to the regular supplies. After a bit of “internal testing” (ho ho) I can happily say that they’ll probably remain firm favourites of mine for a while. If you’ve been through the rest of the stock (or just fancy trying something different), then have a look! That brings me up to thirty-eight different types of magic mushroom spores, all the way from Golden Teachers to Yetis, from syringes to prints to swabs. That’s the kinda variety I would’ve wanted when I first started out, for sure.

Also, I thought this might be a laugh – here’s a quick video of me and my monkey assistant making some spore syringes up in the lab. I even did a voiceover for you too because I’m nice like that, but didn’t do subtitles initially because they take ages to correct. I thought seeing as I had the camera for making the YouTube videos I might as well show a bit of the process. I’ve had to put it up on YouTube to be able to put it here, so we'll see whether I have to remove it or not, which means I will have to correct the dogshit-awful autosubs. Feel free to have a look here:

for me, that's spore syringes, for him, it's probably the answer to "how many kids have you fucked and murdered"

On reflection I should probably do a full-on video guide to this at some point, because I think that would be useful to the guys buying spore prints. I always like finding out what happened behind-the-scenes at places, so if that’s your jam also then you’ll probably like it.

Anyway, stay safe out there dudes. The world's getting more and more unpleasant, so look after yourselves and your close ones, as best you can.
