I cannot tell you, how much I appreciate your work of letting us take part of your walks in this light way. Mostly caused by your B-Roll, drone flights, you pass the camera as if we still stand there (what means you have to act as if you continue going, but hurry back to pick your gear up again and again). It is transmitting a very close feeling of being there too. Amazing job, thanks for your effort!
"Quality Content". You do make me chuckle. I watched it all the same. I don't watch your videos for the photography (which is awesome), I watch them because you're entertaining, interesting, likable, inspiring. It's a great way of spending twenty minutes or so and I look forward to Wednesday evenings. Keep it up and thanks.
These types of video, I.e. no photography, are really as important and interesting as these times you get epic conditions and images. As a hobbyist I heap huge pressure on myself with a once a week close to home photography outing. It can get depressing after a few weeks of no images given these constraints. So thanks for sharing your photography lows and not just the highs.
It's definitely a lesson in making the best of the scene you have rather than lamenting the scene you don't have. When you can practically reach up and touch the clouds, there's definitely possibilities for a great photo. Clouds wrapping over a foothill mountain with mountain goats or sheep in the foreground can make a wonderful environmental portrait that captures a bit of the natural beauty of the UK.
I always enjoy my breakfast coffee watching you and your adventures on a Thursday morning (Australia time). This one was no different Thomas. The fact that you are prepared to NOT get a shot is testament to your confidence in your channel and the thousands of loyal followers. Cheers.
It's the whole package that makes your videos so entertaining and watchable - the camping, the hiking, the cooking, the banter and the great photography - that means they're never a let down even if the weather doesn't play ball. I'm glad you still make the videos regardless. You inspire me to get out with my camera every week and just take what comes. Thanks Thomas
Just wanted to say that I love your videos. They are always so calming and beautiful ❤ and as a photographer and nature lover I feel like I am "home". Thanks for taking us outside with you, especially for those (including me) who are not able to go outside on adventures no matter of which reasons.
just watching you set up a fire and cook your wrap and relax by the van is nice and serene. It's enough on its own, the photographs are just an added bonus :)
One thing I like about your videos is you are very honest about your experience. This is helpful for me in particular as I struggle through my landscape photography efforts, where having the mountain I’m trying to shoot from get socked in with clouds is almost an expectation! It’s relieving to know it happens to everyone.
A great example of it not the arriving but journey that is important. So you didn't get the sunset you'd hoped for ,it's still a great video and nice to see you more chilled than usual.
Haha, it's a Thursday morning breakfast video for me😁 Different time zone. Though sometimes I like to hold out to watch it in the evening instead when it's quieter around the house.
When you pulled out that folding table and the folding chair - I have more or less the same setup. The table is quite old but still does the job and the chair is pretty sturdy and comfortable. The only thing that was missing for me was the fire pit, but this has changed now. Thanks for putting the link in the description. I will definitely try the tortilla folding trick. So for sure that was quality content. It's not only about photography, it is about all the bits and pieces that make a trip unique, no matter if you get an image or not. Thanks for sharing this.
Even when it's not a productive photography video, I still enjoy the journey. I liked seeing the mist rolling in and the sheep wondering over the mountains. It was very calming.
Your content is engaging because you show both the successes and failures, however, its the journey of these outcomes which is the most enjoyable. The effort you go to, B-Roll, that allows us to be a fly on the wall as it were, is really appreciated. The reason for my comment today though is the way you make your wrap. Never seen that before and as my wife and I have wraps quite often for lunch we will give this method a go. Thanks for the tip. Take Care
As a photographer and filmmaker, I am admittedly at least as fascinated by the RichMonkey, which since your films has also become a loyal and most used companion for me on my travels in my expedition mobile. How nice to see it as a supporting actor again this time. Thanks also a lot for this tool!
Photography, hiking, and cooking. You have turned into a triple threat channel. Living in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, near Mt. Rainier, I know how fast weather can change in the mountains. Forecasts aren't always correct either. It is no fun getting caught in the rain when you aren't prepared.
I find it amazing that where you live and work, you're able to car park camp, so to speak, without any trouble at all. In a highly populated country to boot. Here in the USA I can't stand campgrounds. Too close to the neighbors, high cost. Have to reserve well in advance. It's just a chore and a half. Thanks for your vids Thomas. The food looks great, too.
Been up old man of coniston twice before, on both occasions we were clouded out and had rain. We used the old miners track which takes you past the old/remains of the mines up to a lake, and then on up to the summit. First time up we had a really heavy rain storm before setting off and sat in the car waiting for the worst to pass, which it did, then on the way up we were treated to a ‘rainbow wall’ across the valley, and further up I got a lovely pano with broken storm cloud and rainbows with multiple lakes in the pano. A few years later we returned and did it again and it was torrential high wind & rain conditions, but I got some atmospheric B&W’s around the old mining ruins in the rain/mist. Despite the conditions, it was a lovely walk both times, sadly, I still have not seen the view from the top, only cloud both times!
Almost have my new ride set up for landscape photo adventures in Colorado...just a couple more items to arrive (storage box & awning). Thanks for all the adventure ideas!
I currently manage a campsite and can completely understand why u like to be out the way!! This season has been ridiculously busy and im the same love the quiet!! Awesome video again tom
No rainwear?! Dude, remember the essentials! ... I appreciate the honest reality of your landscape adventures. It doesn't always work out and it is good for we mortals to see that happen to the photographers we follow.
I can't miss a new video ! Back from photographing birds at the beach to watch your video, no time to unpack the bag, upload the photos ! Watchnig your video is the best time of every wednesday !
Still enjoyed this and liked your single image. I will be sharing this video with my friends who are not photographers but recently bought a campervan. They will be glad of the ideas on how to keep everything compact.
Camper vanners cooking show?? Expertly done.. but really? Yes please !! I've not thought of your 'wrap-trick' recipe/method before..mmm..I'm off to get my ridge monkey out now..Bon Appetite. 😁😁😁👌👌👌🚐
First off great tip on the fire pit, I will be looking for one myself. Quick suggestion on the table. A 2cm lip on it. I once chucked my camera on the seat and then had an emergency breaking while driving...
Thomas it's 10:35PM here in India. I wanted to start sleeping at 9:30pm, for a healthier living. But I can't sleep at 9:30 if your videos release this late😂 I've learnt a lot from your videos and they're truly meditative. They inspire me to take pictures more. Thank you for that😊
Hi Thomas - what a simple but brilliant idea is your front seat ‘table’. I hadn’t thought of doing that but it’s a great idea. If you get a minute a quick show on how you made it would be appreciated as I might nick your idea. 👍
I started watching this channel, it was solely about photography, watching u go into the beaches, bushes n mountains taking many many stunning photo Thn there is more sort of a adventures theme going on But now, it became a gourmet channel...XD Still love it, always chill n fun to watch
Maybe somebody else has already asked and you've already answered, if so, I can't see the comment. Please tell us more about the portable fire pit. WOW! That's a sweet little camping accessory. Loved this segment. Just so serene and beautiful.
Im glad to see someone else other than me rocking the sliders with socks look 😎 and please more campervan cookery videos as im sick of living on pot noodles 😆
At last!!! Something I have in common with the mighty Tom! Trips to the LD thwarted by the pesky weather gods!!! I do watch your videos for the photography content but also because you have an enjoyable, humorous style and your not scared to poke fun at yourself. Keep them coming please.
I don't generally go camping for photography specifically, more just because I like camping, but a couple of campsites I can think of where you can just walk out and up into the hills ... the campsite at Glenridding on Ulswater in the Lake District and several campsites in Edale in Derbyshire. I wouldn't go mid season or weekends if you want empty campsites but might be worth a look
Dear Thomas, I've been following you on your channel for quite some time now and I'm always amazed at the locations and the beauty of nature you have in the UK, the videos of your camper are also beautiful, good luck and greetings Rudy.
When you took the frame for the camping seat out, I immediately thought of Raiders of the Last Ark and the clothes hanger! Great van, great video, thanks.
Loved the video, brought back memories of going to Coniston myself. Also Been trying to figures your wrap construction for ages so thanks for the tutorial 👍🏻
What a lovely camp site! The aerial shot made it look quite spectacular next to the lake. I really enjoyed this one, and I thought you got a pretty good image in the circumstances. Also, that fire pit is a great idea! It means you can have a fire anywhere (local by-laws permitting of course) and not even leave burn marks and ashes on the ground. I like it!
Another thing to do with your tortilla shell is after you cut it spread some sour cream, if you like sour cream, all over the shell. Add your ingredients as you did in each section and finish the cooking process.
We were there last month, absolutely beautiful place, I was even looking for your van thinking you might be there. No luck, but now here you are! Hopefully I will meet you in person one day!
How great, I've been looking for a channel that focus' on camp cooking! Seriously, I love your content whether your modifying a van or backpacking a 100 miles. It's also nice to see others get blanked because of weather/conditions...if only mother nature was more of a landscape photography fan, LOL. Take care Thomas
I used to get inspired by your videos and wanted to go all and shoot photos. Recently things have turned. Now I watch a new video and immediately I get hungry. :D Jokes aside though I do love all the small camping tips you've been giving in the last year or so. Thanks!
I stayed in that campsite and walked the more direct route, was brutally steep but some very interesting leftover ironworks from what I assume was mining a long time ago. We planned to walk along the ridge to the next hill but just like here, the clouds dropped on us and then it started raining so we made a quick exit back to camp! :D

@Andrew Banner I agree with you as I follow along primarily for the adventure, the vistas, the B-Roll. We're living vicariously through Thomas Heaton.
You're too kind, Andrew 👍
Exactly! Thanks for saying it so well.
It’s a bit like a very toned down Fototripper vid!
@@Simon_PieMan I, for one, can't wait to see "The Wife" in a Trapper's Hat and just a touch too much lip stick!

Looking forward to the cookbook. H-Eat-on photography - a culinary guide to photograph. ;)
Now that's a clever title.
Love it!!!
The book will be full of lots of well composed ‘square’ meals! ;)
😂😂😂👍
@@simon.revill yess!!!!
Just wanted to say that I love your videos. They are always so calming and beautiful ❤ and as a photographer and nature lover I feel like I am "home". Thanks for taking us outside with you, especially for those (including me) who are not able to go outside on adventures no matter of which reasons.
Those hikes in nature remind of another photo channel, "Morten Hilmer"
🌞
Oh man, that b-roll at 10:00 is absolutely fantastic!
just watching you set up a fire and cook your wrap and relax by the van is nice and serene. It's enough on its own, the photographs are just an added bonus :)
"There isnt a view per se, but doesnt necessarily mean there isnt an image..." ... great mantra of optimisim. Love it.

This is helpful for me in particular as I struggle through my landscape photography efforts, where having the mountain I’m trying to shoot from get socked in with clouds is almost an expectation!

I always have bad luck with weather. I appreciate that you admit you do too. I very much enjoyed this video.
A great example of it not the arriving but journey that is important. So you didn't get the sunset you'd hoped for ,it's still a great video and nice to see you more chilled than usual.
Even though I'm mainly here for the photography. I always love the camping parts of the videos 👍
I always especially look forward to my work lunch breaks on Wednesdays. It means I get to enjoy my meal while watching a new Thomas Heaton video.
Haha, it's a Thursday morning breakfast video for me😁 Different time zone.
Though sometimes I like to hold out to watch it in the evening instead when it's quieter around the house.
Possibly my favorite video. I like to see Thomas relaxing.

I love you so much man your videos are so real and true to who are as a person don’t stop creating. Love what you do
Lovely moist landscape photography! Nowadays, it is perfect to shoot it!
Thanks Thomas… I learn so much plus you are so fun to watch 🙌God bless brother.
You never disappoint, Thomas. Getting outdoors is the main priority; photos are a bonus. Love a campfire - even a pissy little one. 🔥🙂
Still the best loved every minute. Awesomeness

Hi from a neighbor. Enumclaw here. Funny to meet a local on a UK channel.
Such a comfy camping video. Those shots of the fire were gorgeous!
I find it amazing that where you live and work, you're able to car park camp, so to speak, without any trouble at all. In a highly populated country to boot.

I always enjoy a fireside chat. 👍👍
Thank you for posting this. I often get discouraged when I go out to shoot and things don’t go as I hoped. This was refreshing
Loved the mix of van / camping / hiking and photography. More of the same please

this is one of your best vids.... thanks for sharing you make it real
even though this is a photography channel, the van life content is equally as enjoyable Tom
Thanks for the great video. Looking forward to Tuesday!! Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
I love the way you camp.
The image you got was a nice one and I’ve always liked the look of your tortillas, so thanks for sharing the folding trick.
Always look forward to your weekly videos up here in Northern Arizona.
Almost have my new ride set up for landscape photo adventures in Colorado...just a couple more items to arrive (storage box & awning). Thanks for all the adventure ideas!
I currently manage a campsite and can completely understand why u like to be out the way!! This season has been ridiculously busy and im the same love the quiet!! Awesome video again tom
I love the videos that show all the issues with landscape photography. Well done!
No rainwear?! Dude, remember the essentials! ... I appreciate the honest reality of your landscape adventures. It doesn't always work out and it is good for we mortals to see that happen to the photographers we follow.
Its awesome to camp, enjoy, photos will be there other times
You cannot beat a fire pit crackin episode again cheers ❤️📷❤️🚐❤️
I can't miss a new video ! Back from photographing birds at the beach to watch your video, no time to unpack the bag, upload the photos ! Watchnig your video is the best time of every wednesday !
Two for one: a cooking tip in a photography video. Nice, atmospheric image.
Never complain about a nice relaxing evening.
yep- its nice to see videos like this - photography isnt always important...but seeing you living, is definetly a nice change! please do more
Excellent video, as always. The portable fire pit is brilliant! Keep the great photography videos coming!
man I hope all your 500 thousand subscribers appreciate the amount of work that goes into making these videos - love the channel
Still enjoyed this and liked your single image. I will be sharing this video with my friends who are not photographers but recently bought a campervan. They will be glad of the ideas on how to keep everything compact.

Fun trip! Thanks for bringing us along!
That fire pit is really interesting, can't say I've seen one like that before👍🔥👍
Your method of making a wrap was ingenious!
Will be trying to make one of these very soon. 👍👍👍👍
Thats a good life Thomas, enjoy and stay safe,
Love the low key chats. The photography content is a bonus.
First off great tip on the fire pit, I will be looking for one myself. Quick suggestion on the table. A 2cm lip on it. I once chucked my camera on the seat and then had an emergency breaking while driving...

Another great video Thomas, love the location of old man Coniston. Keep up the great content
enjoyable & comfy vid as always, even without any good photographs to show for it this time around!
Im glad to see someone else other than me rocking the sliders with socks look 😎
and please more campervan cookery videos as im sick of living on pot noodles 😆
To paraphrase a fishing quote, a bad day camping and photographing is still better than a good day in the office.
At last!!! Something I have in common with the mighty Tom! Trips to the LD thwarted by the pesky weather gods!!! I do watch your videos for the photography content but also because you have an enjoyable, humorous style and your not scared to poke fun at yourself. Keep them coming please.

Thanks for the tortilla tip. I live 5 miles from Mexico and I’ve never seen one cut that way.
Great tip about the wrap Tom, firepit looks the business. Great vlog and good to show that it doesn't always work out the way you'd hoped.
That fire pit is wicked! Great little camp spot...
Hi Thomas, firepit is awesome touch.
Loved the video, brought back memories of going to Coniston myself. Also Been trying to figures your wrap construction for ages so thanks for the tutorial 👍🏻
Great Thomas Heaton Video, thanks for sharing
Wraps look great ....lol you just reminded me of Jamie Oliver In your camper.....brilliant
What a lovely camp site! The aerial shot made it look quite spectacular next to the lake. I really enjoyed this one, and I thought you got a pretty good image in the circumstances. Also, that fire pit is a great idea! It means you can have a fire anywhere (local by-laws permitting of course) and not even leave burn marks and ashes on the ground. I like it!

actually love the camping videos (with or without a picture )

Fantastic work here mate - love that campsite and those fells!
thanks for the relaxing trip Thomas. I enjoyed the time.
‘To compensate for not getting a decent image, I’ll show u how i make my uh.. wrap!’ 🤣 weird how it sounds so cute to me lol
How great, I've been looking for a channel that focus' on camp cooking!
Seriously, I love your content whether your modifying a van or backpacking a 100 miles. It's also nice to see others get blanked because of weather/conditions...if only mother nature was more of a landscape photography fan, LOL. Take care Thomas
Lol, yes, if only there were more camp cooking videos. I promised myself I wouldn't go there, but I did, I went there 😕
I used to get inspired by your videos and wanted to go all and shoot photos. Recently things have turned. Now I watch a new video and immediately I get hungry. :D Jokes aside though I do love all the small camping tips you've been giving in the last year or so. Thanks!
Nice one Thomas, cheers. Whoever said "A simple life is a luxury" wasn't too far wrong! Yummy food too!
I stayed in that campsite and walked the more direct route, was brutally steep but some very interesting leftover ironworks from what I assume was mining a long time ago. We planned to walk along the ridge to the next hill but just like here, the clouds dropped on us and then it started raining so we made a quick exit back to camp! :D
I really liked that image, actually. I loved how the cloud blended with the mountain.
