A blind solo bushwalker - impressive

Postby David M » Tue 31 Mar, 2015 2:00 pm

Here is a short video about a blind fellow in the US who has learned to "see" via echolocation (like bats and cetaceans). He makes clicking sounds and listens for echos. He rides a bike and does solo bushwalking. Extremely impressive.
