There’s a lot of information packed into the videos. He explains it very well, and you can feel how deeply knowledgeable he is about the Towshuur and Khadag given how well (and succinctly) he conveys everything to us.
The information in his videos is second-to-none, and I feel the only way to get a better grasps on it would be to travel to Mongolia myself to actually see and experience it all first-hand.
