Rest in peace beautiful boy - Kuiper

I have been LOVING this woman's channel and have been binge watching for the pasty week or so :) If you want some beautifully filmed, what boils down to short documentaries with stunning photography and a super relaxed tone, you cannot go wrong. Enjoy

It works! For future reference:

```
track.applyConstraints({
torch: true, // or false to turn it off

R400 million of taxpayer funds spent and zero houses built
