- it's just time stop depending on this small woodland and start moving around the country to bigger and better places.
I can't promise a new camping video every week but I will try my best to upload something for you.
Watching you setup camp, cook, talk randomness, is why we are all subscribed! It doesn't matter where you are, once the darkness arrives it makes no difference, you could be in your back garden for all I care. Just keep being you! Much love and respect
Thanks for that!
I agree completely.
Agreed
Same so relaxing and natural
Well said 👏
Maybe go out and enjoy yourself, rather than worrying about growing your channel. Do what puts a smile on your face. Seeing people enjoy their time in the outdoors is inspiring and encourages others to want to get out there.
Growing my channel puts a smile on my face
Totally agree, hate it when people chase views
If you only camped on your garden, I'd stay. I'm sure many will too. Keep up the great work, Dan.
Dan, please dont change yourself for views. You being yourself, down to earth, raw and unpolished is what we all subscribed and watch you for. Your a breath of fresh air in all the toxic, paid and produced chanels out there. Stay humble, my friend!!
It's the man who makes the channel,your enthusiasm and honesty will keep me watching.
Dan I,m 66yrs and had a right old year with cancer surgery and all that goes with it. Ive been a biker [motorbikes] all my life. Ive just started accumulating my camping equipment for a new start this coming year. I,m married 45yrs and have family around me but I want to stretch myself further even though Ive do more than most in my life.. you wont regret broadening your horizons mate get out there and get it done. Just over a year ago I wasnt on any meds and fat but fit so you never know whats around the bend. I,m looking forward to getting my Jackall 3 and other OEX STUFF thanks to you being their best ambassador!! Keep em coming and dont hold back Kind Regards Stuart Bell.
Thank you for watching
Yeah well said😊
Good for you Stuart👍 Don't let anything hold you back & certainly not the dreaded cancer. Glad you are better & getting back out there. All the best
What a great reply!!….just want to send a hug 🤗 out to you to say well done in the face of a huge challenge how you sound so positive so good luck to you and your family 💪🏻 Dan is amazing isn’t he makes me die laughing love both his channels. 💙
Yes hes some boy and thnx for the kind words
I think the show is more about you than just camping, that’s why we all love it !! Keep up the good work pal.
Good idea to get out and about a bit further afield - more remote areas are a good idea - it keeps the nuisances and idiots away - there's nothing worse than having to break camp because idiots are short on things to occupy themselves with- look forward to seeing your travels in the near future .
SOMEONE has The Spring Fever!😉 I watched all your videos for the last year: you did some pretty extreme hikes and showed us a variety of places. I DO like the idea of two-day adventures. I also LIKE the idea of some car camps: you deserve a comfortable chair and a camp table!😇 Come to that, a good cot to rest your back wouldn't be out of place.
Well for me I don't care about the location it's your personality that keeps me here and your honesty and no bs so you do what makes you happy and we will come along for the ride
Do what’s best for you Dan
I think this is the best way
Personally, I don’t watch the location, I enjoy your honesty. Hope you can find the happy medium where you are able to enjoy what you do, and do it very well!.
Exactly mate 1 location doesn’t make content
Hi Dan. I'm glad you are thinking like this. With all due respect it is getting abit samey. Woods, cook a stake blah blah blah. But saying that, you are very lucky to have the confidence to make videos, I know I couldnt, I'd love to share my adventures like you. You do what you do and you have made a success from it. This chanel has helped me and inspired me to "get out and be that person"
It would be great to see new places but Still be you.
Benny
You are looking for something Dan but have not found it yet.
Someone who has is Claire Beare (Wildbeare), as a human being she is on a different level than the UK male campers, not something you can replicate. You have confirmed what I assumed Winter camping is like, glad I did not bother.
The usual video formula is becoming tedious …. walk-in,pitch tent, close-up of lighting stove, eat steak/asparagus/curry, drink beer,go to sleep, say how cold the night was,breakfast,pack-up tent and walk out .
Why bother ? 😀
Just relax.
Hey Dan, we watch your channel because we like the person YOU are 😊 If you do come to Scotland, I could suggest the Scottish Borders as an easy area to start rather than going on an epic 100s of miles to the Highlands journey. e.g. I'm in a village on the A68 - a straightforward journey from Newcastle - Scotch Corner - Edinburgh. There's lots of good camping spots in my general area. Not telling you what to do, it's just a suggestion and I will look forward to watching regardless of where you decide to go 😊
If you feel the need to move up a gear, a mix of wild , or unknown remote small dark sites would be interesting. I try to use the dark or undeveloped sites as much as possible, but sometimes it's difficult to find a gem of a decent farmers field with basic facilities. In the end don't do stuff just for your channel, chasing numbers, do it for you 😊
The clickbait master at work 😂
I think your doing a good Job bro I'm thinking of buying an oex tent what one would you recommend out of the phoxx 2 v2 or the racoon 2 man tent? I have watched the review you done on the phoxx and I like the coffin style
I'm not a driver, so I'd LOVE to see some videos on camping using public transport or a bicycle. I have an ebike. I'd like to see all the affordable light weight options available and how to get to good spots without a car
Loved that little bird singing his hart out for your channel. Keep up the good work
Dan,don’t change a thing be you that’s what we all watch for. Absolute LEGEND….Canada loves ya.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I’ll continue to watch your channel no matter what you do mate! Your a great character and I always enjoy your videos. If you’re ever in or around my area (derbyshire and mansfield) let me know and I’ll gladly do an overnighter with you in my woods 👍🏻👍🏻😎
I’m sure once you start sharing decent content your channel will start to grow instead of being that person who shares tragic boring content… all the best 👍🏻
All these camping videos are the same old, same SH(it) everywhere.
Click bait title. But still subbed. Just go and do what you need to do...
STOP CLICKBAITING U MUPPET ....I GOT EXCITED 4 A MO 😂😂😂
And so it Begins , great idea Dan , having the Car will allow you to take more items with you for a little comfort , even a camp bed ! , wishing you all the best mate , can't wait to see the new Videos . 🙂👍
Looking forward to seeing the new locations. So far I’m a bit disappointed with the new F1 season although looking forward to next year seeing Lewis in a Ferrari😂 To be fair I watch your vids because you make them entertaining so keep up the good work 👍
You and me both!
Good to see you have gained the confidence to camp in other locations butty small steps to the top 👍
No rush
The only big foot you'll see in Newcastle is a Geordies size 12 🦶🤣Great channel mate, cheers.
I've not watched the video yet and I enjoy your videos but is this just another click bait heading you've been using lately. I think it let's your content and yourself down. It's not a dig. It's just a fans opinion. And I've been watching for years.
Probably yes
Be you mate but, I do know what you mean
You do you Dan we will follow mate 👍👌❤️ got the oex tecana stove today mate well good for price 👍👌❤️⛺️⛺️🔥🔥
What do you think of the cook set?
Same....I will follow you wherever your journey takes you.
Looks quite good to be honest Dan will know better when I finally try it all out but for 39 quid it’s a no brainer mate
Good morning Dan. From 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hi 👋
Ah ok shall we unsubscribe now then?
If you want to 🤣🤣
@englishwoodsman I'll watch the vid 1st 👍
Maybe a bit more stealth camping dan,just different locations 👍
Not a bad idea
Stop it with the click bait
Dan…. I’ll be honest and I’m sure I don’t speak alone… I enjoy your local ‘boring’ videos the most. The ones where you ‘burn’ your steak, run out of battery, mispronounce stuff. There’s loads of professional, slick vids out there. It’s the ‘rawness’ that I love about you and your channel. If you’re ever down south in Essex, give me a shout as I’ve got access to a few good wild camping spots 👍
Whatever is best for you Dan we are just here for the ride . If you're not happy with a situation you change it as you are doing be happy in life
I get where you are Dan. The viewers are saying "camp, we watch whatever" Yes but it's down to You Dan. If I was a swimmer, well it wouldn't take too long before I'd be bored doing the same old same old. Same swimming pool. So the next step would be wild swimming. You've got the idea's. You've obviously thought this out, and Scotland is waiting for you. I suggested The West Highland Way a couple of months back. 96 miles from Milngavie (pronounced Mullguy) to Fort William and an average of one week. That's slow I'd imagine. Five days if you batter through. Pass through Glencoe. Scenery is to die for, pass right through Loch Lomond. Can't recommend this route enough. No I've not done the full route, but I've been all over some parts of it, infact quite alot now I think about it. Try and buy yourself the 7 days Dan, and do it. I'd love to see you do a long video on you completing it. It's for everyone, not the fitness fanatics. The normal bod like "us" could do it no bother. I've just never done start to finish, but know for a fact I could. We all could, it's why it's there. Now I'm hoping for you doing it! Cheers Dan. Plus I'll always watch what you do. I like your channel alot, so you do what you think best. I'm just throwing something out there.
Mate, the best sitcoms are those that make the viewer think they know the characters; Only Fools & Horses (for me) would be an example of that - I know the script inside-out but love watching them because it kinda feels similar to hanging out with mates; I think you’ve achieved the same thing with this channel. I honestly couldn’t give a toss where you are or what you’re doing - I just tune in to listen to your ramblings and appreciate your character. I reckon a load of your viewers probably feel the same. Best wishes. Sam.
Looking forward to your new adventures 'keeping it fresh' ❤❤
Come back up to Scotland Dan there's hundreds of locations for you to take advantage of. Try completing some of the hikes like the Skye walk or West Highland Way 🏴
I understand what your saying but I sort of disagree with the reasoning... I'm thinking you need to satisfy your own camping 'itch' lol As for us, we would still watch if you camped on your patio. I understand you want to grow your channel with new exciting places but basically all camping is pretty much camping. I camp in pretty much the same area all the time but being 73 yrs old I need the familiarity of woodlots that I know. Three times a year I travel 8-10 hrs away to meet up with You Tube friends for a weekend and that kind of helps scratch my itch. hahahaha So you just do what makes you happy and helps your channel.. I for one will watch whatever you video.. I enjoy your honesty. and down to earth demeanor
don't worry too much about the 'views' and 'success' thing. I go wild camping but don't video it. I 'might' video my next one - but it will be a garbage video - just for a mess about. enjoy wild camping and bushcraft first and if you happen to make a video - then fair enough. treat success and failure as the same imposters (aka - "If" - Rudyard Kipling).
Dan come to Ireland for a wildcamp some weekend ill drive you anywhere you want to go ❤
Thank you 😊
Watch the GODFATHER of alternative camping Steve the hobo in training Wallis get inspired
Part of your charm and reliability, is doing the norm, I'm originally from Halifax, and what you do shows a side of Halifax that people don't know about
Only critique is show more of the overnight the stars the wildlife, owls foxes Badger, just saying.
Good luck to what you want to do, do what you feel.
You have a great honest channel, well done you've achieved an awesome channel 😊😊😊😊
I like your honesty Dan. This has been one of my favourite channels on youtube for a few years now. I have all the faith you will only make it better.
Great ideas, Dan! It's been really inspiring to watch your channel evolve over the years. I want to share some thoughts that reflect neither on you nor on your character but rather on the potential of your filming locations. The areas you've been using seem to have seen better days - they appear well-trodden and a bit neglected, with clear signs of heavy use. This isn't uncommon for popular outdoor spots, but it does present an opportunity for positive action.
Before you consider moving on to new locations, why not spearhead a small-scale regeneration project? Such an initiative could dramatically enhance the visual appeal and ecological health of the area, providing a richer backdrop for your videos and a valuable service to the community and environment. Imagine leading a cleanup and restoration effort, perhaps starting with something as simple as sowing new grass seeds to revitalize the landscape. This could involve:
Community Involvement: Rallying local volunteers and users of the area to contribute to its revival.
Funding Opportunities: Researching and applying for grants aimed at environmental restoration or community projects.
Leave No Trace Principles: Educating participants about minimizing their impact going forward, ensuring the area remains pristine for future visitors.
After setting the stage for regeneration, you could document the progress over the seasons, culminating in a showcase of the rejuvenated area by summer. This narrative could add a compelling dimension to your channel, illustrating the power of community and environmental stewardship.
Beyond this project, I’d be thrilled to invite you on an enhanced tour of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. With my years of experience exploring these lands, I can guide you to some of the most breathtaking landscapes the UK has to offer - from majestic mountains and serene lochs to unparalleled hiking trails and camping spots. It would be an opportunity to capture the untouched beauty of nature, emphasizing the ethos of Leave No Trace and the importance of preserving such wonders for generations to come.
Let's use this moment not just to move on to new sites, but to leave a lasting, positive impact on the ones we've enjoyed. Looking forward to seeing your journey continue, both on your channel and in the great outdoors.
Dan,
It’s up to you where you go, and what you do when you get there.
But I wouldn’t totally give up on that location.
You could use it for your convenience, when reviewing Rat Packs or tents and equipment etc.
It’s more interesting to see you cooking, and reviewing Rat Packs, in the wild, than in your ‘office’…
Change is the spice of life brother, I know what you mean about other channels making the same video over and over.
I just cant watch people chop wood any more, STOP! we all know how to chop wood FFS 🤣Looking forward to your new content👍
Arrange a group subscribers camp and I prefer MotoGP. Whatever vid you put on people will watch Dan. Keep them coming.
Do you tell us the history of the places you go? Local Legends/Ghosts in the area? Going further afield shows you a new area to explore with new stuff for you to revive yourself rather than stagnate like you feel you are. Scotland and Ireland, I believe are less strict on wild camping. You may want to check out some places there. Dartmoor allows for wild camping in certain areas of the park that aren't being used by the British army. They run a flag up a flag pole on certain tors when they train on them.
TBF i would not want to go camping with you!! You just bottle most times!! Leave the camping alone mate ffs
Only change things if YOU want to. If change is in your heart. Doing what you do is awesome but I understand why you are considering changing things up. We try to change things up with the seasons. It helps us create fresh content and that's important to us. We also need the change for us.
I saw a big foot once, i ran over my foot with a Pallet Truck, my foot got big lol. Ive lost my confifence with wildcamping Dan, keep talking myself out of it, any suggestions? Do you still get jittery when wildcamping?
You know what is said, good sir, a change is as good as a rest.... also, familiarity breeds contempt. In your case, I wouldn't say contempt. More that you've realised lethargy was creeping in.
Top chat matey.. You can still use that woodland for testing gear etc. When you come to High Peak I'd love to bob along and meet up, I live in the High Peak and do all the wild camping stuff plus the campsites with my big tent and the Wifey. Let us all know when you're thinking about coming anyway, there's loads of us up here that would enjoy a night out. Take it easy, looking forward to seeing your next phase.
Dan, if we didn't like your channel we wouldn't watch. However you must do the right thing for yourself. If that means you changing things up bring it on. I for one look forward to whatever you bring.
Onwards and upwards mate. ❤
You're far too critical of yourself, if you did a survey of all your subscribers, I'm betting 98% don't give a care about where you're camping, could be your own garden or the school playground, we don't care, we enjoy your company, the different tents you have, we enjoy all the talking, enjoy watching you eat hotter than hell noodles, we even enjoy the hiccups, 😊 there is no " levels" you need to understand, it's you we enjoy spending time with, 😊
I get what you mean. If you can afford it, or if you've already got a big car/mpv, try car camping. I've got an old small van, and I've just made a bed in the back. It will make your trips last longer and a little bit comfier. Don't stop wild camping though.
I think it's great you're going to stretch yourself and challenge yourself more. Be that person who cooks prechopped veg under a tarp in a safe local wood every week and watched Mrs Brown's boys is getting a bit samey and dull. New locations and maybe trying woodsman techniques to make shelters and beds would be more interesting. Thanks Dan, looking forwards to it.
Listen to your head mate. Need new locations that challenge you ;)
100% true
Dan, Hope you read this comment. There is tonnes of scope for watching videos with a twist...Wild camping in alleged supernatural or haunted locations would be absolutely amazing. It'd take some bottle, but would love to see you go in that direction mate 😊
I'm in Glasgow regular wild camper...if you need locations...there's a few places I can recommend you can drive right up to
Maybe 🤔 we watch your channel to see you and what set up you are using , I do understand you want to use different locations and that’s a good thing. Hopefully you will pick yourself up soon , you been down lately I can tell
If you haven’t already look up Kent survival but something tells me you already are aware of him an what he does. You guys are perfect to set up a community run style and run alongside eachother. I’m a new subscriber and I love your videos already!! Keep up the good word and good luck hunting. Remember to enjoy yourself
I speak for meself, I understand completely why your looking to change and possibly attract more subs, who wouldnt be looking to do the same esp if one is looking at using the Tube as a primary source of income. You do what you think is right! Already subbers doubtfully are not gonna influence you in getting more subs. When you peak its time to start looking at change in anything you do. Go forth and do what you want, best way to learn. Im already subbed and always will be. Its your channel run it how you want! Best wishes!😊🍻🇺🇸✌🏻
If you know you've had enough then you've had enough.. move on find summet else that makes you better. Not happy but better and then start again from from there. I don't post my camping as I don't have anything on me digital even a phone I just disappear and I love it. But it's only for a night a week as got work 6 days 12 HR shifts. So as said when I want o I go to middle of nowhere with sod all . And hope to find summet tomkeep me amused, but if not il just carry on walking about.
Come to Cannock Chase Dan, there is supposed to be a balck eyed girl over there. Lets make a video together ill show you around. Its a stunning place.
It comes down to a few things. When your heart’s not into it I can usually tell pretty early in a video. And I’ve seen that at different locations and at different times since I’ve been following you. I know you want to grow your channel and eventually have this become your “job” but keep in mind relying solely on RUclips is a very dangerous thing. Lots of channels of this genre hit a plateau and more often than not cannot overcome it. I’m not trying to be negative. I’m just trying to be helpful. I also noticed this past winter you didn’t do as much hot tent camping as you did in the past even though you said in the fall you were looking forward to. And that’s ok. If you don’t feel it don’t do it. At the end of the day only do it if you’re 100% into it and getting something out of it. Anyways hopefully you get what I mean. Looking forward to your content this spring, summer, fall and next winter.
No need to watch F1 every9ne already knows the outcome 9f this season.its now called the max show and its getting pretty boring tbh
Deffo stay raw and unpolished authenticity and less edits I feel is the best way moving forward more and more people are changing to raw
all channels are repetitive mate . do you think the novelty of youtube is maybe wearing off ? loads of channels come & go. must be hard for big channels like yourself to keep motivated.
That's why I stopped watching u buddy it git real.safe so looking forward to you exploring abit cuz yhatz what it's about for me 💚👍😊
Fish it, eat it, cook it.
only need take sauce and taters then.
I'm planning 2000miles plus bikepack tour.
Wow
Maybe, try doing a little more reviews than a predominant OEX brand. You do do some others but you can sometimes be very narrow in terms of cheap brand or just any brand options.
Try not to contradict yourself explaining your not doing any of the electric bike reviews and then follow up with you have 2 more to do.
Try be more uplifting, your in a very privileged position yet every other video seems to involve a doom and gloom speech about how RUclips and the world is against you.
And maybe lay off the click bait titles a little too, not every video has to have shock value.
Just a few to name anyway. Nether the less take this as constructive criticism and not as a dig. You don’t do a bad job at what you do as you have the subscribers and regular views to back that but I personally think if you want to grow you need to get out of some of your negative ruts.
I'm really looking forward to the new content comin', but to tell the truth I've always loved your channel since I found it. I'm a relatively new subscriber since last year, and I'm gonna stay around and watch your content until whatever the future may hold! ❤❤
Well done looking forward to seeing the new content.
Can't wait.... Happy days.😊 Best of luck...
But it's the same as you mainly staying in Blackpool doing the hotels, be nice to see you go elsewhere, to be honest I prefer your camping channel, once again like you've said it's getting boring.. The world's a big place
I understand what you’re saying. When I started camping a couple of years ago I thought I would love a permission woodland, now I would not thank you for one. If you go out regularly you soon get fed up with the same place and the same routine.
Changing location definitely helps mate! Every location have it's own energy. You just have to feel it inside if you feel even just slight discomfort the place is probably not for you. The more far away it's from the city the calmer and better energy there is. Try the same. You are not a tree to stay in one place. You can also try trail biking it helps a lot to explore woods and you don't feel stuck in one place.
Mate be you doesn't matter where you go just be you but I would highly recommend going to arran if you go to Scotland loads Of great walks and easy to base camp in Lochranza camp site nice quiet and friendly site p s loads of places to wild camp as well
I watch your videos because of you, not where you are or what you do.
Please just be yourself and carry on making some of the best content on RUclips
Definitely looking forward to seeing what you do in the future though
EW on tour 😃
Hey Dan if you weren't doing something right people wouldn't watch your channel ???
You know bushcraft too. Incorporate some into things. It'll change it up for you as well. We're all chomping at the bit for the time change!
I'm on the look out for woodland, I'm based near you. It's so hard to find the right spot around here.When you look into it a lot is owned by the big corporations. You're lucky to have it pal.
Rather than change what you do Dan, change tactics and find natural ideas that can be used to replace say ,camping stove...
I've seen people design rocket stove ,dug from the earth by creating a simple underground u design .. little things like such can spice it up a little Dan.
And like others say , the conversational ideals that you bring up, also entice us
Well said, I agree with the lightweight equipment, even if you don't intend on hiking it means you always have the option, I lost the time to go camping between work and having my kid I just don't have room for it in my life at the moment, not to say that when I do get the time I won't jump on the opportunity. When the time comes I wish to go on expeditions, I've felt in the past if I go to the same patch of woodland over and over it becomes less of an adventure and you lose the dynamic that allows for new experiences and excitement of the unknown. Glad you've got the time to go do this now pal and looking forward to see where you end up.
So what if there are nay sayers Dan on cryptids , there are also those that belief ... an open mind Is always an inspiring
And I'm probably going to stand on toes , but who ever believes in religion ... really if there were any evidence of the record of stories been precise, there'd be evidence of this ....
Similar stories ,yes but not exagerat3d like for a purpose .. never mind the contradictions that some have .
Come wild camping with me mate , we’re wild camping on remote islands in the lakes , can only access by kayaks . You’ll love it !
Hi Dan yes i agree a change is a good idea I do understand you have got too comfortable camping in the little woods near you a change is good has a rest I agree with you it’s time to go next level dan looking forward to your new adventures dan I agree with everything you said on this video Dan it’s always best to tell your subscribers of any changes yes I will continue to watch your channel no matter what you do dan
H9w about instead of staying in cheap grotty hotel rooms.you start touring and camping at proper camping sites and doing honest reviews on them.especially in the south east
If you can get a motorcycle license and get a small bike then you could get to very remote places. Loads of bikers would be interested in your Channel..
This is my first time watching your videos. so just a suggestion maybe add a little spice to your videos but keep your original location just add different places and in doing add ons to spice it up maybe add different investigations..
Hi Bud.
I never camp and make videos of same area twice hence I travel around Wiltshire wood lands.
But you must be doing something right with your channel as you have plenty of subscribers, I'm struggling to get people interested in my channel lol, maybe you can give me some tips.
So keep up the good job your doing and keep doing what you love doing, wild camping.
All the best,
Darren Ellis

Your my inspiration to start camping
That's fantastic
Going further afield is a good idea, as are challenging weather conditions. Urban woodlands do attract groups of idiots and dog-walkers; coastal locations attract loners with psychiatric issues, so remote forests and high ground are better.
I love watching all your camping vlogs, so keep doing what you love. You’re little bit of woodland is special to you and us, so keep enjoying it, the enjoyment of camping is what I love about your channel. That said, I do like the idea of canal camping, that’s really unique and I’d love to see what that looks like, so yes please to some of those type of vlogs!! But above all else, keep camping, you get to do things I’ll probably never get to do (although you motivate me to try things I wouldn’t do without seeing your vlogs) and I enjoy seeing what you get up to!! Keep it up and looking forward to a year of new vlogs!!!
