Don't be hard on yourself, you will get into your stride with it! We are following you because we are interested in what you have to say and your humour and enjoy being in your company even if its just virtually. Ok your other channel is food related but doesn't stop you visiting farm shops and the like on this channel, take us along for the drive and hear about your local area and your great stories and then do the actual food review on the other channel. It would be a starting point to get your confidence up with this vlogging malarkey 😉
Ideas. 1. Vlog your home gym workout. 2. Vlog about your hobbies. 3.Vlog about the things you miss before the internet. 4.Vlog about growing up 5. Vlog about your favourite band 6. vlog about your wife and why you love her 7. Vlog about you top 5 films 8. Vlog about your favourite RUclips channels (Mine for example? ha! ......I could go on :-) Good luck!
A video of the shipyard where Gareth once worked would be interesting, even if only from the outside if they didn't allow filming on the premises. Those huge ships undergoing construction. I don't think rivets are much used nowadays after Titanic*, but the welding, the dangers of lifting very heavy machinery by crane, and so on. Gareth will know so much more about shipbuilding than most of us and he has a yard on his doorstep. * It has been claimed that lesser quality rivets were used (No. 3 bar rivets instead of No. 4) in order to save money, however that was in Belfast, not Barrow.
you could also vlog about the things around your town and the local area and a bit of history , ppl and things of note , local sights etc , go to the shipyard and show what its like now and show pics of what it was like when you were there , things that the town is planning if any , this may be stuff for the future as we head into winter. look at other channels for ideas / inspiration like walk on the wild side who just vlogs around blackpool etc
My opinion only. You've hit a vein. I expect you had a lot of people tune in when you VERY bravely shared your difficult experience around why you decided to quit drinking. It randomly showed up in my feed one night and I was so captured by your brutal honesty. I will tune in to your new channel to follow along with you. If you choose to chat about other things, do what makes you happy. Life is so short, mate 🩵 Best to you!
A vlog about your life story, a vlog about your time in the army, a vlog just showing a day in the life, no matter how boring! Don't overthink the content that it has to be super interesting or unique, it's the personality we keep coming back for
Refreshingly honest and funny! You’ve hit the nail on the head because most RUclipsrs have a topic they always cover or a passion/craft to showcase or like to discuss the day’s news/events. I’m not familiar with where you live so there must be places of interest, walks or rambles you could start with, I really enjoyed your France videos when you were wandering around showing us the campsite, even bbq’ing snags (Australian for sausages). You will find your niche 😊
Inside the Laurel and Hardy museum looks fantastic Gaz,I'm sure there's thousands that haven't got the opportunity to visit Ulverston would love you to show us around it,continued success pal 👍
I’m here just to listen to you whatever you want to say. We don’t need a topic, just ramble shit if you want…I’m totally here for it 😄 Btw I’m so tempted to buy some sketches myself. I’m a massive walking nut so want comfort and I’m always wearing down the branded trainers within a few months…but my young adult daughter’s tell me not buy Sketchers because they’re trainer snobs.🙄😅 But I’m thinking comfort over brand name, so you’ve inspired me to buy a pair. 👍🏼
I live in the US and don’t travel much. I enjoyed today just seeing the various shops. I appreciate you sharing so much of your life between the 2 channels. I watch people mow lawns, grocery shop then they bring it home and show all they got, I watch house renovations……basically I watch all kinds of things. Ultimately I hope you find things you’re comfortably doing and sharing. I know I’ll likely watch.❣️
We lived in County Durham (too cold for us) before moving to Norfolk. Now we live in Sarasota Florida. There are fantastic places in your local area to show your subscribers. One of the nicest sayings the great people in County Durham say is “see you later”. Never goodbye. Also at a fish and chip shop I was asked did I want a splash? A splash, what’s that? Turns out, curry sauce, beans, gravy, etc poured over the chips. Those sort of things are great for a Vlog.
0:52 Slip-on shoes and slippers. You won't need one yet, but I have a marvellous long-handled shoehorn to help slip into my shoes and slippers, because with my arthritic knees I can no longer bend down to pull them on. I still have old lace-up shoes that I never wear, because it's impossible to tie the laces! Such is life...
@@Finglesham I'm 78 and I had one long-handled shoehorn downstairs for several years, and then I got fed up with trying to get into my slippers first thing in the morning so I bought a second one that is hung on a hook on the landing. I got both from Argos. The second one bought a few weeks ago cost £5.
I agree with other viewers. Visit places of interest in your area. Places you can take your family for a day out. Museum, stately homes, nature places etc. We are curious of the area you live and as potential tourists we want to see what's there. Good luck x
Don't be hard on yourself Gareth. It's great to see you out & about. It would be good to see some local places of interest to visit & the history of the area. Do you have any hobbies? How's the gym coming along? Sending you & your wife all good wishes. 👍
Cheers for Atlanta, ga. USA My wife and I always look forward to your videos. Glad to know your still off the booze. As far as vlogs... we would love to see you just go around your town where you grew up, places you have worked, where you went to school etc, and tell us stories about the old days. Also maybe visit some historical places.
Hello Gareth remember Arthur Daley : " The world is your Lobster " and for once he was right. You start by living in a beautiful location, we city dwellers can't get enough of the great outdoors. Towns & Villages all have a heritage, how old is that church? ⛪🤔 Farmers Markets. Local Shows. Do you remember a television series called " Out of Town " Bloke named Jack Hargreaves. All things country. Just take a breather, look around, then go with the flow. You don't need to stress yourself out. Sit on a bench have a moan about the rural environment, buses any thing you can find in the local newspapers. As I've said we're going with you on this journey. So my friend at your own pace. Allan&Family
You are great to listen to Gareth your accent is warm and friendly and your genuiness is touching just keep plodding with your daily cheery battles that's a real help to people who may find other sorts of things difficult to overcome in life and need a friendly face and voice to help life feel real again you are doing a worthwhile job Gareth Be happy you deserve that Carol
Looking at a lot of the comments Gareth, everyone is behind you, they all care and want to see you succeed and most want out and about vlogs looking at the beautiful countryside and places of interest. Nobody wants perfection, ( now that would be boring 🤣 ), just you chatting and being yourself. A Lucky bag of bit and bobs, things you’ve seen and done as a nipper etc. All good wishes to you and your family. You are doing grand.😊
I’d love to see you going on walks ( town country or seaside) that have some local interest or history ( perhaps using your background of the military?) you can talk about in your unique way, then find a little cafe at the end for a cheeky review. Keep going wit yed down Gazza, you’re doing great.
Gareth, don't feel obliged to vlog with any schedule or regularity, that will become a bind for you, and could be stressful. I love to watch vlogs where people walk around where they live, as for various reasons I can't travel at the moment, but instead I can watch people show me their part of the country and talk about it, that way I can see and learn about places that I would have no chance of visiting in person. When you were at the holiday park in France I really enjoyed those videos 👍 Maybe take up a new hobby, gardening for example if that is new to you, get an allotment maybe, or whatever you can do that you feel you can share with us. I've seen some comments about volunteering, which is a great idea, but not necessarily something that you could easily vlog about, filming in that situation could be tricky, so I'm not sure about that.
I have bought the same shoes a couple of weeks ago. I love them. Would be nice to see around your town I am sure there are some beautiful spots around you. Does not have to be any structure to your vlog just take us along for the ride I am sure it will get easier with time. And once again be yourself. People will watch and be entertained no matter what you get yourself up to.
I come to this channel to listen to YOU .. and anything else is a bonus. Please can I suggest go for walks.. Show us the shops.. the town where you live.. or a drive in the country.. And talk about the alcohol as you are doing it so its combined. Maybe even a food review out as you are a food expert. I support you & this channel 100% !!
Hi Gareth, people are on your side with your alcohol journey and certainly want to support you. Please give us updates for yourself as much as us. Going about Cumbria would be great for me, you might like to talk about how thongs have changed in Barrow from prosperous to poorer. The heritage of the shipyard, that Furness used to be in Lancashire. Cumbria's isolation but best of all the people. Perhaps ask to interview some older locals - you might need an interpreter! Look after yourself all the very best grom Glen amd me
My channel has grown leaps and bounds this year. I worked and travelled with the funfair back in the 80's and 90's and watched people vlogging the funfairs across the U.K. and decided to give it a go myself. It's easier if you have a specific topic or interest and yes wind noise and filming in general public can sometimes be a bit difficult. I think if you just vlog places of interest and occasionally update on anything personal you wanted to share would be great. All the best on your new channel, it will become easier as time goes by and you receive the feedback 👍
Ha ha nice one Gareth, I would say just get out and about and show us around, what it's like around your neck of the woods, scenery etc. Just have a go it will come, I am sure.🤔👍
As others have said, do some volunteer work…you are just the sort of person that would excel at it. Don’t beat yourself up on posting every five minutes - we understand. Go and make yerself a nice cuppa! 🏴🇬🇧
I enjoy your videos when you've gone somewhere to buy Fish & Chips or something, as I get to see what it's like up where you live. We don't all live in that part of the country, so it would be quite cool to see what it's like. Maybe, when the weather is appropriate you could visit some tourist attractions in your neck of the woods.
I understand it’s difficult to begin with vlogging , but as you go you will get much better at it . Congratulations on you giving up booze . It’s very braver of you to share your personal battle with booze
I love the drive with Gareth vlogs when you go to places like Ulveston, and Barrow another idea you could go to a Barrow home football match and do a pie review just an idea Gareth xx
It's so hard for us too, trying to comment every day on different channels and try to make it original really taxes the brain, and in all honesty, when a thought crosses my mind, it's a very sort trip🤨🤨
I love my slip in Sketchers. Keep up the good work, your videos are interesting. Even if you think they are dumb. Your smile makes the day for your fans.👍
You could showcase more of the local area. I've lived in Barrow most of my life and have visited Ulverston hundreds of times, but I haven't walked up the Hoad since I was a child. I've recently been discovering parts of Barrow I never knew existed, like How Tun Woods, which was created when I was living away. I didn't know how pretty Ormsgill Reservoir was till I saw it on your video a while back. Have walked round it myself now. Other places like the Abbey, the Coast Road, Roa Island, Cavendish Dock and even Barrow Park are worth showing to the world, especially since Barrow gets such a bad press normally.
Hi Gareth you must do what you feel comfortable with we shall always be here for you stop worrying and keep up the good work best wishes Sheila and family
I love sketchers they are the only trainers i can buy that’s doesn’t hurt my feet and no matter when I buy them home or abroad they fit perfectly, yes we do want you to vlog walking anywhere too many people vegetate in front of the TV vlog about anything, there are plenty people can’t do it and they enjoy seeing others and seeing places they are just not fit to go to.
Hi Gareth, Those Sketchers are for old Fat Folk like me who can't tie their laces anymore. But the problem is now we can slip into them we will get even Fatter and more lazy. I can't win.😆. I don't know what you can talk about ? maybe House Hold items or Tools . I got it . Please Please do a Review on the Softest Loo Paper . Like its the total opposite to eating food, and when you get into your 60's its very important to get soft Loo Roll.😁😁😁There are Hundreds of brands and they won't go to waste.
Good thing to do if you havw copyrighted music in the background is to voice over it afterward. So if you were looking at bags in Mountain Warehouse, just re-record the same narration afterwards. Might work, might be too much hassle. But have a play and see what works for you.
Hey my Dear, I follow you from Germany since maybe 1 Year ago. I would like to know, what is the typical Meat for English People - what do ther eat at Christmas an so on. Please make from that a Vlog. Thank's for All you're Time, you spend for US & with US ..!!!!
@Baldfoodieguyvlogs...... I'm sure there are many like me, from overseas, who really enjoy seeing the sights....maybe even a little tea shop or charity shop....all that is quintessentially British is fun to watch....❤
I like the driving videos. Just seeing a different part of the country. And the views around where you live in Cumbria are often stunning. What you could do is make a driving video to get fish and chips or a pie, but construct the video in such a way that you could make _two_ videos from it. One for the driving, for this channel, the other for the fish and chips on the food channel. A kind of BOGOF in video production! Another video I found very interesting was when you hiked up a steep hill somewhere, having bought a pie or two. Hiking videos are good, driving videos, too, and why not walking videos with a headcam?
Gareth your Sketchers look good and comfortable too, result! Love to see your local area where you live. Great your still not drinking another result! Bet your feeling better and looking better too. Its just good to see your vlogs. Thank you
I wear Skethers I even have those trainers Gareth. I got new ones (not the same, not the same and they are so less gripey. the ones I was wearing were worn through but had more grip in the wet than me new ones) I'm so pleased for you ATM for over 1k subs, there's so much you can film and do where you live and offer in some cheeky food reviews along the way.... every so often
I've just bought some similar Skechers slip-on trainers after seeing your video. I love Sketchers shoes as they are so comfy...got formal slip ons, and some laced trainers. You should be on commision from Skechers
Just an idea. Maybe do vlogs on the local area. A lot of viewers liked your trip out videos. Maybe visiting local areas and sharing some of the local history. Being from and living in Barrow myself, it would be nice for someone to show the good side of the area rather than the bad as is normally shown. 👍🏻👍🏻🙂
I enjoyed it Gaz, yes it has hard to talk about different things and what other people are interested in!!! You will get the hang of it when you get lots of feed back what people like!!! Onward and upwards sonshine 👌 xx
Love the Skechers. I've been to that very Booths, when we were on our hols up there. Also the Mountain Warehouse, my husband always finds something to buy. Booths is better than Waitrose in my opinion. Just chat about whatever happens during your day, we'll all be watching. ❤
I think you could possibly be over thinking how important the content and topic actually are. You may find it is the individuals own personality and character along with how they present it in their very own unique and individual way and this makes even the most mundane/boring content so, so watchable. And this my friend is why you have all the subscribers on your other channel. Keeping it real and genuine, along with just being yourself.
You live in a lovely part of the country Gareth. You could always do an out & about video such as The motor museum, The Haverthwaite Railway or just show us some lovely scenery.
Hi Gaz (from Western Australia) I know nothing about content for vlogs, although I am a great audience😊 I have noticed that those I follow use Bluetooth furry clip on microphones & use selfie sticks & small expandable tripods - so there’s that. Also, I think you could do worse than search ‘how to make vlogs’ here on utube🤷♀️ Keep up the sober life, champ!💪🏼💖
Alright mate,congrats on the new channel. How about pulling up a sandbag,swinging a lantern and telling a few ex-squaddie stories.I was in the Artillery back in the 80's and always share my experiences when asked .I bet there are loads of veterans and civvies who would love to hear about your past life in uniform 👍 Have a think about it mate !!
Mate, carry on being you, you is good, people like ‘you’, people like watching and listening to your journey, just run with it and see where it goes and what will be will be. Get tabbing and hillwalking, do the fan dance and vlog it? Also, start a journey for a marathon, go from couch to 5km and take people with you, all the way through the great north run and a marathon, what’s your thoughts?
you have super countryside, talk and drive, thats something to do, drop in to somewhere for a snack, walk on the beach, i love the sea, it makes you feel better
Show us around the area, pick a place and show us the place, what you think of it, even what others think of it. Bit of history of the place. You are blessed for the region you live and for me should be the garden of England and not Krummy Kent.
I love Booths, I hope you sorted something nice there. Your out and about videos are always enjoyable, driving about or having a walk and a chat are always good. The thing is mate, whatever you do it’s going to be brilliant. You just go with what you are feeling😊 nice trainers btw xx
It'll take you a bit to get into the swing of things Gaz. Why don't you do some Exercise videos, Some DIY, or Gardening, Carboot sales, Market hunts etc.
I got a pair of these for my husband a couple weeks ago and he loves them! I have worn skechers for years they are so comfortable.. I usually wait until there is a sale on... Pavers is good for discount Skechers. As for the vlogging, dont feel pressured to post every day, only do it when you have something to vlogg about!! DIY, Healthy eating, etc., xx
Gareth i know you worked in a ship yard industry how about giving us all a tour if possible ive never been to a ship building yard. have a walk round your town show us what it like up north. I like looking through people or friends record & CD collection so theres a vlog if you got any as im a old record collector. Do some double ups with fellow RUclips people if there any up there and interesting. And sometime maybe on the other channel meet Gary from 'Gary Eats' im sure you two would go down well roaming about a restaurant. There some ideas from me Marc In Bletchley PS what other interests have you got show us them like me im an Radio Amateur of 50 odd years
You're everyone's best friend so chat to us as you would with your friends in real life. RUclips is full of AI fakes, bad influencers and has become a world of profitable lies. Your channel could not be anymore more "real" and that is what attracts me. How about doing a few short vids of you trying something that is out of your comfort zone? As an example you could try knitting, horse jumping, cooking the impossible meal or archery. Its the mistakes or the wins that will have us laughing. Above all just be yourself.
I wish I had a phone that got rid of wind noise! You've picked a great time of year to do outside vlogs! I suspect that the people that have followed you to your new channel will bear with you, so don't get too hung up on that. One thing to do is stop qualifying the fact that everything you review has not been given to you. Just say when somebody does and as long as you give an honest review, who cares? I still enjoy tuning in.😁
Hi Gareth, I bet it can be hard to think of some thing to put out, saying that food shopping should be fine, your not cooking or tasting just go around the supper market comparing food brands, just a thought. catch you soon, take care
Talk about anything. It’s just your day to day things. You could volunteer maybe as a driver for the elderly going to appointments. As long as your not staring at yourself in the phone thinking how gorgeous you are, so many people so this and it makes you cringe 😂😂😂
I also like the videos you’ve done on your other channel when you take us out with you to get fish and Chips, and you video the journey and it’s lovely surroundings. A few of them would be good thank you.
Your Wife is right, we live in a generally nice part of the world. The views are great from the top of hoad. Better than Booth's car park!! Show people Furness & it's history, parts of the Lakes on your doorstep. Go to some restaurants or cafe's to review. Review stuff that's not just fish & chips & cheaper meals. Review Industry Kitchen, it's consistently voted best cafe in Cumbria & for good reason. Constructive criticism. Love the channel.
Yes thumbs up for Skechers ... talking about Cameras for blogging and foodie vids etc have you thought about getting a Dji pocket 3 it's an amazing camera to use ... you can even clip it on a harness etc for low profile recording many demos on RUclips 😎
Don't be hard on yourself, you will get into your stride with it! We are following you because we are interested in what you have to say and your humour and enjoy being in your company even if its just virtually.

Sounds great!
Found you. Looking forward to sharing your journey mate. 👊🏻💪🏼
Welcome aboard!
I come to this channel to listen to YOU .. and anything else is a bonus. Please can I suggest go for walks.. Show us the shops.. the town where you live.. or a drive in the country.. And talk about the alcohol as you are doing it so its combined. Maybe even a food review out as you are a food expert. I support you & this channel 100% !!
Cheers Stephanie 👌
Hi Gareth, people are on your side with your alcohol journey and certainly want to support you. Please give us updates for yourself as much as us. Going about Cumbria would be great for me, you might like to talk about how thongs have changed in Barrow from prosperous to poorer. The heritage of the shipyard, that Furness used to be in Lancashire. Cumbria's isolation but best of all the people. Perhaps ask to interview some older locals - you might need an interpreter! Look after yourself all the very best grom Glen amd me
Cheers David some good ideas thanks 😊
My channel has grown leaps and bounds this year. I worked and travelled with the funfair back in the 80's and 90's and watched people vlogging the funfairs across the U.K. and decided to give it a go myself. It's easier if you have a specific topic or interest and yes wind noise and filming in general public can sometimes be a bit difficult. I think if you just vlog places of interest and occasionally update on anything personal you wanted to share would be great. All the best on your new channel, it will become easier as time goes by and you receive the feedback 👍
Cheers mate will have a look at yours pal. All the best 👍
Ha ha nice one Gareth, I would say just get out and about and show us around, what it's like around your neck of the woods, scenery etc. Just have a go it will come, I am sure.🤔👍
That's the plan!
As others have said, do some volunteer work…you are just the sort of person that would excel at it. Don’t beat yourself up on posting every five minutes - we understand. Go and make yerself a nice cuppa! 🏴🇬🇧
I enjoy your videos when you've gone somewhere to buy Fish & Chips or something, as I get to see what it's like up where you live. We don't all live in that part of the country, so it would be quite cool to see what it's like. Maybe, when the weather is appropriate you could visit some tourist attractions in your neck of the woods.
Cheers Rik
I understand it’s difficult to begin with vlogging , but as you go you will get much better at it . Congratulations on you giving up booze . It’s very braver of you to share your personal battle with booze
Cheers pal 👍
I love the drive with Gareth vlogs when you go to places like Ulveston, and Barrow another idea you could go to a Barrow home football match and do a pie review just an idea Gareth xx
Good idea, yes will do x
Keep us updated on your journey stopping drinking if it helps you as most people here are cheering you on to succeed in your goal
Will do mate for sure
It's so hard for us too, trying to comment every day on different channels and try to make it original really taxes the brain, and in all honesty, when a thought crosses my mind, it's a very sort trip🤨🤨
I love my slip in Sketchers. Keep up the good work, your videos are interesting. Even if you think they are dumb. Your smile makes the day for your fans.👍
You're welcome 😊
You could showcase more of the local area. I've lived in Barrow most of my life and have visited Ulverston hundreds of times, but I haven't walked up the Hoad since I was a child. I've recently been discovering parts of Barrow I never knew existed, like How Tun Woods, which was created when I was living away. I didn't know how pretty Ormsgill Reservoir was till I saw it on your video a while back. Have walked round it myself now. Other places like the Abbey, the Coast Road, Roa Island, Cavendish Dock and even Barrow Park are worth showing to the world, especially since Barrow gets such a bad press normally.
Cheers, good idea. Yes being away and coming back so many things change don't they.
Hi Gareth you must do what you feel comfortable with we shall always be here for you stop worrying and keep up the good work best wishes Sheila and family
Thank you 😊
Looking So Well Gaz these days mate Xx
Cheers Susie x
I love sketchers they are the only trainers i can buy that’s doesn’t hurt my feet and no matter when I buy them home or abroad they fit perfectly, yes we do want you to vlog walking anywhere too many people vegetate in front of the TV vlog about anything, there are plenty people can’t do it and they enjoy seeing others and seeing places they are just not fit to go to.
Hi Gareth,
Those Sketchers are for old Fat Folk like me who can't tie their laces anymore. But the problem is now we can slip into them we will get even Fatter and more lazy. I can't win.😆. I don't know what you can talk about ? maybe House Hold items or Tools . I got it . Please Please do a Review on the Softest Loo Paper . Like its the total opposite to eating food, and when you get into your 60's its very important to get soft Loo Roll.😁😁😁There are Hundreds of brands and they won't go to waste.
Haha 👍 yes I got them so no bending down. My wife doesn't like that lol soft loo roll eh 😅
Soft yes, but must be strong too. Nothing worse than - well you know what!
Good thing to do if you havw copyrighted music in the background is to voice over it afterward. So if you were looking at bags in Mountain Warehouse, just re-record the same narration afterwards. Might work, might be too much hassle. But have a play and see what works for you.
Doesn’t matter, we will watch anyway lol 😂
Shops in where you are, army days…
Cheers 👌
Hey my Dear, I follow you from Germany since maybe 1 Year ago. I would like to know, what is the typical Meat for English People - what do ther eat at Christmas an so on. Please make from that a Vlog. Thank's for All you're Time, you spend for US & with US ..!!!!
Hi, yes look on my other channel Christmas playlist. I do Christmas dinner.
I do like your out and about videos Gareth, so more of those please.
Nice Skechers by the way.
Thanks, will do!
@Baldfoodieguyvlogs...... I'm sure there are many like me, from overseas, who really enjoy seeing the sights....maybe even a little tea shop or charity shop....all that is quintessentially British is fun to watch....❤
I like the driving videos. Just seeing a different part of the country. And the views around where you live in Cumbria are often stunning. What you could do is make a driving video to get fish and chips or a pie, but construct the video in such a way that you could make _two_ videos from it. One for the driving, for this channel, the other for the fish and chips on the food channel. A kind of BOGOF in video production!
Another video I found very interesting was when you hiked up a steep hill somewhere, having bought a pie or two. Hiking videos are good, driving videos, too, and why not walking videos with a headcam?
Gareth your Sketchers look good and comfortable too, result! Love to see your local area where you live. Great your still not drinking another result! Bet your feeling better and looking better too. Its just good to see your vlogs. Thank you
Thanks 👍
I wear Skethers I even have those trainers Gareth. I got new ones (not the same, not the same and they are so less gripey. the ones I was wearing were worn through but had more grip in the wet than me new ones)
I'm so pleased for you ATM for over 1k subs, there's so much you can film and do where you live and offer in some cheeky food reviews along the way.... every so often
I've just bought some similar Skechers slip-on trainers after seeing your video. I love Sketchers shoes as they are so comfy...got formal slip ons, and some laced trainers. You should be on commision from Skechers
Glad you like them!
At the end of the day just be you pal can't get more honest than that and that's what you do best👍
Cheers Andrew
Just an idea. Maybe do vlogs on the local area. A lot of viewers liked your trip out videos. Maybe visiting local areas and sharing some of the local history. Being from and living in Barrow myself, it would be nice for someone to show the good side of the area rather than the bad as is normally shown. 👍🏻👍🏻🙂
Thanks for the idea!
I enjoyed it Gaz, yes it has hard to talk about different things and what other people are interested in!!!
You will get the hang of it when you get lots of feed back what people like!!! Onward and upwards sonshine 👌 xx
Ta ma xxxx
Love the Skechers. I've been to that very Booths, when we were on our hols up there. Also the Mountain Warehouse, my husband always finds something to buy. Booths is better than Waitrose in my opinion. Just chat about whatever happens during your day, we'll all be watching. ❤
Sounds great!
It's nice to hear you waffling on 😂❤
Haha 👍
While you post people will watch Gareth your a nice down to earth guy unlike some you tubers i used to follow but dont now
Cheers Lynn 👌
You could vlog about your hobbies and interests and the local area and or your previous jobs etc. Keep up the good work my friend. 👍
Thanks for the idea!
I think you could possibly be over thinking how important the content and topic actually are. You may find it is the individuals own personality and character along with how they present it in their very own unique and individual way and this makes even the most mundane/boring content so, so watchable. And this my friend is why you have all the subscribers on your other channel. Keeping it real and genuine, along with just being yourself.
Cheers pal 👍
You live in a lovely part of the country Gareth. You could always do an out & about video such as The motor museum, The Haverthwaite Railway or just show us some lovely scenery.
Will do good idea
This was so funny, you should do a grumpy man vlog,
Carry on, things will get better, as you do. And good, not drinking today, is a way of life.
Hi Gaz (from Western Australia) I know nothing about content for vlogs, although I am a great audience😊 I have noticed that those I follow use Bluetooth furry clip on microphones & use selfie sticks & small expandable tripods - so there’s that. Also, I think you could do worse than search ‘how to make vlogs’ here on utube🤷♀️ Keep up the sober life, champ!💪🏼💖
Thanks Sharon for the tips on microphones. Will have a look cheers
Alright mate,congrats on the new channel.
How about pulling up a sandbag,swinging a lantern and telling a few ex-squaddie stories.I was in the Artillery back in the 80's and always share my experiences when asked .I bet there are loads of veterans and civvies who would love to hear about your past life in uniform 👍 Have a think about it mate !!
Cheers brother 👍 the artillery were in training with us downstairs in our block at basic.
Mate, carry on being you, you is good, people like ‘you’, people like watching and listening to your journey, just run with it and see where it goes and what will be will be. Get tabbing and hillwalking, do the fan dance and vlog it? Also, start a journey for a marathon, go from couch to 5km and take people with you, all the way through the great north run and a marathon, what’s your thoughts?
My wife's done that couch to 5km
Love my slip ins!! So comfy
you have super countryside, talk and drive, thats something to do, drop in to somewhere for a snack, walk on the beach, i love the sea, it makes you feel better
Like the sketchers carry on
Show us around the area, pick a place and show us the place, what you think of it, even what others think of it.
Bit of history of the place. You are blessed for the region you live and for me should be the garden of England and not Krummy Kent.
Cheers Steve, will do
I love Booths, I hope you sorted something nice there. Your out and about videos are always enjoyable, driving about or having a walk and a chat are always good. The thing is mate, whatever you do it’s going to be brilliant. You just go with what you are feeling😊 nice trainers btw xx
You're very kind cheers Ali x
I wish I’d bought shares in the Sketchers Co 10 years ago because everyone “our age” wears them (even if the kids don’t) - I’d be a millionaire now 😂
Haha me too
It'll take you a bit to get into the swing of things Gaz. Why don't you do some Exercise videos, Some DIY, or Gardening, Carboot sales, Market hunts etc.
Cheers you're right
I got a pair of these for my husband a couple weeks ago and he loves them! I have worn skechers for years they are so comfortable.. I usually wait until there is a sale on... Pavers is good for discount Skechers. As for the vlogging, dont feel pressured to post every day, only do it when you have something to vlogg about!! DIY, Healthy eating, etc., xx
Cheers Lynn yes no more bending down lol
A few suggestions.Barrow sport rugby league and football,Submarine building,Walney island and morecambe bay.
Cheers Stewart
i enjoy your honesty - just be yourself 🙂
Like your videos like the sketchers
Ta 👌
I have a pair of Skechers and they are so comfy, the comfiest trainers that I have ever worn. You could vlog about anything and we’d still watch it
Thanks kindly ☺️ yes they are comfortable arnt they.
Thinking about Vlogs Maybe Fitness Travel (holidays and local) DIY home improvement Army life 😊
Gareth i know you worked in a ship yard industry how about giving us all a tour if possible ive never been to a ship building yard.
have a walk round your town show us what it like up north.
I like looking through people or friends record & CD collection so theres a vlog if you got any as im a old record collector.
Do some double ups with fellow RUclips people if there any up there and interesting.
And sometime maybe on the other channel meet Gary from 'Gary Eats' im sure you two would go down well roaming about a restaurant.
There some ideas from me Marc In Bletchley
PS what other interests have you got show us them like me im an Radio Amateur of 50 odd years
Yes served my apprenticeship in the yard.
You could do vlogs about your garden or your mums garden.
You could talk to your father about his life.
This channel is so new, pretty sure you'll pick it up as you go. Look at what others Vlog about, and try similar........good luck!!
Thanks for the tips!
Like the shoe's Gaz look well comfortable bud 🖖✨️🎬😊
Cheers Tim
You're everyone's best friend so chat to us as you would with your friends in real life. RUclips is full of AI fakes, bad influencers and has become a world of profitable lies. Your channel could not be anymore more "real" and that is what attracts me.
How about doing a few short vids of you trying something that is out of your comfort zone? As an example you could try knitting, horse jumping, cooking the impossible meal or archery. Its the mistakes or the wins that will have us laughing.
Above all just be yourself.
Gaz doing knitting, the mind boggles!😅😅
I wish I had a phone that got rid of wind noise! You've picked a great time of year to do outside vlogs! I suspect that the people that have followed you to your new channel will bear with you, so don't get too hung up on that. One thing to do is stop qualifying the fact that everything you review has not been given to you. Just say when somebody does and as long as you give an honest review, who cares? I still enjoy tuning in.😁
Cheers Martin
Vlog about where you live, Gareth? E.g. Some great places to visit, including cafés and diners of course 😊🍴
Sounds good!
Narrh BFG You Never Ever Do A Worst Video 📹 Ever .. Oh Ps Apparently Heinz Have Brought Out A Tin Of I'm New Carbonara 💯👍😁
Haha cheers David. Hope you're well pal 👍
Hi Gareth, I bet it can be hard to think of some thing to put out, saying that food shopping should be fine, your not cooking or tasting just go around the supper market comparing food brands, just a thought. catch you soon, take care
Thanks for the tips! Cheers Shaun
Talk about anything. It’s just your day to day things. You could volunteer maybe as a driver for the elderly going to appointments. As long as your not staring at yourself in the phone thinking how gorgeous you are, so many people so this and it makes you cringe 😂😂😂
Haha yes don't want no accident 🤣
You could start every one with a comment on the news headlines, or better, a good/funny news story. We need a giggle!
I also like the videos you’ve done on your other channel when you take us out with you to get fish and Chips, and you video the journey and it’s lovely surroundings. A few of them would be good thank you.
Glad you like them! Cheers 👌
Booths prices are frightening
They are
Show us the beautiful Lake District countryside, towns and seaside, and get fit in the process :D
Will do thank you 😊
Agree with you on the Sketchers.
Great video Gareth. I love these videos where you go for a trip out. Congratulations on quitting drink as well.
Glad you enjoyed it
Your Wife is right, we live in a generally nice part of the world. The views are great from the top of hoad. Better than Booth's car park!!
Show people Furness & it's history, parts of the Lakes on your doorstep. Go to some restaurants or cafe's to review. Review stuff that's not just fish & chips & cheaper meals. Review Industry Kitchen, it's consistently voted best cafe in Cumbria & for good reason. Constructive criticism. Love the channel.
Thanks yes will get my thinking cap on. Cheers 👌
Yes thumbs up for Skechers ... talking about Cameras for blogging and foodie vids etc have you thought about getting a Dji pocket 3 it's an amazing camera to use ... you can even clip it on a harness etc for low profile recording many demos on RUclips 😎
No mate will take a look cheers 👍
If you keep on posting we'll keep on watching Gareth it's that simple 💜💜💜
Cheers Barbie
I'm finding the older I get the less I have to say...don't enjoy social gatherings as I used too.
