The Do or Die Principle
Великобритания
Добавлен 30 авг 2023
My name is Stuart and along with my wife Susan,and now with our Staffy Ted, have been traveling a few months every year since 2011. We love Spain and Portugal. I work full time as a tattooist. But recently we both have had the desire to live full time in the van.
Every Sunday or Monday I take off in the van with my dog Ted, or I take the mountain bike, depends where I go.
I started this channel mainly to document our lives, so that our kids and Grand kids can look back when we are gone.
But our ultimate goal is to jump in the van and go full time. Hopefully within the next few years.
Ok so I’ve grown a set and moved on from the silent vlogs. Hopefully my blabbering and mutterings on camera is bearable.
Thank you all for the support.

Oaft. That’s spooky hiy
Went out in the van last weekend, first of the year ,Kirkcudbright for the night ,long walk with the wee dug and a fish supper. Think ill give this weekend a miss
Aye, it’s tough getting motivated this time of the year Jamie. No many daylight hours and long dark nights.
Ha ha, loved the spooky tale, Stu, you could test changing your title to include "ghost story", I reckon you could get more views
Good idea mate, I’ve just edited the title 😂
Good to see you back man.
Cheers Graeme
Could have been worse!
Aye it could’ve, at least I got it powered back up. Cheers
2 weeks is fine, something to look forward 2
Thanks Pat, aye , two weeks gives me more time to plan, I might try and do a wee review or something in between the weeks. But mostly of products I’ve bought, not ones I’ve been sent.
Great. To see yees back bro
Cheers Niall. 👍
Hope you get the van sorted soon.
Cheers Jason, ordered a new battery, so hopefully that will fix it.
@The_Do_Or_Die_Principle 👍that looks like a good park up.
@ yeah it was nice and quiet. Very peaceful. Not a soul to be seen.
@@The_Do_Or_Die_Principle I'm heading towards Galloway next week.
Old Scottish farts, keep it going love it .❤
cheers Bill, much appreciated.
Hi,Stuart hope your keeping well not heard much from you lately on RUclips. Hope you're head is in the right place 👍
@@garyspringham2655 hi Gary, I’m good fella. Was too busy last week, but I’ll be heading out this weekend so a new video will be landing on 22nd. Thanks for your concern, much appreciated 🙏
Another great video. Thank you for cleaning up after some really lazy, disgusting people. I have no idea what possesses people to behave this way. The castle was beautiful, and I agree, no need for steel barriers. Just another jobsworth!
Thanks. Yeah it boils my piss when I see the mess that gets left behind.
You asked ‘who wants to watch an old fart walking in the rain’? We do, we love ‘em. Have recently got a van of our own and have seen some great places to try out, thanks to you. Looking forward to watching many more.
Thank you for your kind words I appreciate it. I hope you enjoy our content.
What could you use this fire for? Interesting all the same unusual technique to log burning 🤔😁
Can be used for cooking and boiling the kettle. Cheers
Well that was something different to watch, it was quite interesting, thanks for that. Maybe we will get to see you trap a mole next time. Thanks for the video, cheers Al
Thanks Al, I’ll,try catch one on camera mate. Cheers
Omg moles 😮 How cool is that. Please try catch em on camera. That is awesome. Not great for your lawn but so so cool.
Aye, I do like moles but they are a pain in the hole 😂😂
@@The_Do_Or_Die_Principle 😂😂😂😂
Great video mate. Very cool concept for a fire. You property looks magical. Is it great all year round there?
Thanks mate. It’s normally raining and dull and miserable. That day was one of the better winter days 😂
Nice one Stuart, I've just bought an MS181c to try the same thing but never done anything yet, as per my usual lol. Great video mate, keep them coming 👍
Cool, good luck mate. Great drills by the way 👍
You tried with ash ,try with pine 😊
I’ll,try grab some pine cheers 👍
Try the one were you chop a log into 4 wedges,the whittle the sharp ends,the tie wire to bring it all together,works wonder,cooked a lovely steak on mine👍
Nice, yeah I’ll,try that one next I reckon. Cheers.
Only a rocket would try one of them 🤣🏴🔥
Yup, guilty as charged mate 😂
I do wonder about these burners, they seem a lot of faff for the outcome. But yours did eventually work so that's OK then. Your experience adds to that old adage of wood heating you up three times, or in your case, four times - when you fell the tree, when you cut up the tree, when you make a Swedish burner and finally when you burn it.
Yeah, it is a lot of faff. But you are right, it defo heats you up a few times 😂😂
Seems like a lot of work
Yup it was mate. Was just a wee experiment.
I think its funny you couldn't resist poking the hole with your finger. A comforting place for a cold digit 🖕😃
Isn’t that what fingers are for? Poking them in holes 😂
Nae Ted😢
No this week 😂. He will be back next week cheers.
I seen someone making that and he drilled the bottom hole right threw said it increases air flow. 😎👍
Aye, that would probably work better. Thanks
"Solid work, man! That log rocket stove is genius simple, efficient, and gets the job done. I've never seen one beforehand, so today, I learned something 🍻
Cheers big fella, was a pain to get it started, but burnt well once it got going 👍
Dose the 2k keep the van warm?
@@bobbyedwards6144 yes, absolutely, I’ve never had it on full blast.
Thanks for getting back to me, how long dose the 20l diesel last ?
@ I’m probably using about 250ml per hour. So 20l would last about 80 hours.
just bought one. appreciate the honest assessment. looking forward to keeping it in my estate and having a butty when I want 🤣
Happy new year Stuart, came across your channel via your last video two days ago and subscribed. I was feeling shit at the time I watched it. Really enjoyed your honesty. Once again great content. I've been looking to get a van for over a year now, hopefully find the right one soon. Take it easy, I'm off to have a nose at your other vids.
Thank you, happy new year, im glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully it cheered you up a wee bit. all the best for 2025. Cheers
I really thick these diesal heater are a game changer. Currently heating my basement super cheap and resalable just make sure install it right and will be safe heat for your median size living space...
Yeah it’s definitely a game changer. And cheap to run 👍🏼
Happy New Year to you Stuart and to Susan and Ted too. Cracking video as always.
Thank you. Happy new year to you and yours. 👍🏼
Happy new year sir
Thanks big fella. Same to you👍🏼
Great start to year. Jealous. Look forward to Burns night and Teds opinion on haggis.
Thanks Dave, haggis is gonna be too spicy for ted I reckon 😂

Thank you, yeah , you are probably right 😂. Good luck with the van. Cheers.
Fantastic drone photos of Glencoe amazing 👍
Great video Stuart and Susan Looks a lovely place Looks like your were woken up from your dip in the loch lol 😊😂
Thank you. Yes that certainly woke me up 😂
Kilchurn is not Kil'kurren, it's more Kil'hoorn
Ah ok, it was a toss up of quite a few pronounciations in my head 😂
@@The_Do_Or_Die_Principle yeah - it's one of those tricky ones
Rev I. M. Jolly :)
😂yup , that was me that day.
@@The_Do_Or_Die_Principle Classic :)
Great wee adventure with super Ted❤ Happy New Year to you and yours Stuart! You put a smile on my face when your video popped up there, really enjoyed it keep them coming🙌
Thanks Stevie. Hope you have a gid new year mate. Cheers.
Great video mate. Awesome stiff. Glad your back Please tell me how ypi fly your drone and rode your bike as well as make the drone circle you. That was speccy. 👍
Thanks mate. There is a function on my drone called active track. You set the distance, height and orientation and it does it all automatically. It’s quite impressive 😂
@The_Do_Or_Die_Principle is that the dji mini ? Thanks mate. I have active track, I haven't tried it cos I didn't know it could be that cool. Now to get me an e bike sponsorship. Ted is such a cool dog. I hope my Rocket behaves as well as Ted when we hit the road. We're off on adventure across Australia to help a friend build their van. Thanks again for the videos mate.
Great video Stuart and Susan love the scenery Proud of you both picking up the litter shocking people leaving that about
Thank you. Aye there are some clatty bastards out there unfortunately
Happy New Year Stu, Susan and Ted. Good to see you back on You Tube. I,m happy to hear it was work that kept you off the tube and not ill health. All the best for 2025, take care.
Thanks Al, all the best for the new year mate. Aye, I was real busy at work and just couldn’t get away in the van. It’s all good 👍
Happy new year buddy lovely video mate looks an amazing place 🎉
Happy new year fella, aye, it was a nice chilled spot. Cheers
11:18 hi.which camera do you have at the moment?
I mainly use a DJI Action 4 it’s a great wee camera, kinda like a GoPro. It’s small , compact, and I’ve had it under water a few times, it’s only downfall is that it’s shit in low light. I use my iPhone 13 when it’s getting dark. Cheers
@The_Do_Or_Die_Principle I'm using Action 4 and 5 Pro. Best waterproof Action cameras available at the moment. I'm talking about low light performance. Insta 360 isn't better.... The best camera for low light situations is DJI Osmo Pocket 3 but isn't waterproof
@@AlexExplorer aye, I almost bought the pocket 3 the other day but it looks a bit fragile. I dunno, it gets decent reviews but I’d end up breaking it I reckon. I’ll plod away with what I’ve got for now. Subbed to your channel. Good content 👍
@@The_Do_Or_Die_Principle I really like your videos.... High quality sound and video nicely edited. Thanks for subscribing:). Did you try to use low light settings on your Action 4?
@@AlexExplorer I didnt know there was such a thing 🤦🏼♂️. I’ll check that out mate. Thanks
Happy New Year Stuart & family .. keep the content coming mate .. i'm buying a van this month to convert so we can hopefully meet up this year
Thanks much appreciated fella. All,the best with the new van, enjoy. Cheers.
Nice one Stuart, great no bullshit blog, keeping it up mate. Solar panels ?? Look ar City Plumming, really good performing panels for buttons, I got a 405w for about 70 sheets in Falkirk. Look forward to the next one
Thanks for that, aye I’ve heard good things about city plumbing panels. I’ll,check them out. Cheers.
Happy New year Stu, love yer content mate, very well produced. Keep safe bud 👌
Cheers roddy, I appreciate that, happy new year.
Hey Happy New Year Stuart 😁 quick question do you do your own tattoos on your legs? Must be tricky if you do? Slainte
Happy new year. No I never tattooed my legs. I can barely touch my toes. Although when I was learning to tattoo , I had to tattoo myself, so,the top of my left thigh is covered in shit tattoos, where I was practicing 😂
Awrite bud,great video,looks a tad fresh but good at the same time,awe the best bud,cheers
Thanks mate, much appreciated, aye it was a bit chilly hiy 😂. Happy new year to you and yours. Cheers.
