Here's a link to the LED lamp that's in the video, I cannot find the exact lamp that I have probably because I've had it quite a few years. This lamp looks very similar to mine:

I came upon your videos recently and I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching them. I share your philosophy on so many things. I love listening to your gentle and soothing voice in unison with the nature sounds and as a result I've come to often use your videos for relaxation to the point that by the end I'm able to easily drop off to sleep.
As a young girl I often spent time alone in nature around my house and imagined myself living in the woods. I'd pack a lunch and find a quiet, often secluded place to just enjoy the sounds and sights of surrounding nature. I absolutely love trees. Watching your videos of cold and rainy weather is so soothing and I can feel the actual warmth myself of watching you in layered clothing beneath a waterproof tarp listening to the cold rain fall.
I love the bits of poetry you display at the beginning of the videos and the music you choose is perfection. The photography is stunning....I feel like I'm right there.
I too suffer from lifelong depression that comes and goes, as well as anxiety. As a result, even though I've worked two jobs most of my life and interact with people, in my awkward social life I tend to shy away from them, have a handful of people I trust and connect with, but it's mostly my pets I enjoy being with. They've never intentionally left me down or hurt me...except for when they cross that rainbow bridge.
I agree with your views about the elite and Mars, etc.....I've thought the same things for many years. I've also had an encounter with something otherworldly and will never forget it and the night.
Are you my soulmate?? Haha...I'm kidding. I thing I'm probably much older than you. From the U.S., Michael....thank you for your awesome videos. I've picked up quite a few pointers from them. Be safe out there.
Hi Patricia,
Hey what lovely words...Thank you so much, it's the first time anyone's ever said I have a gentle and soothing voice...How lovely of you thank you🤗 Hey as long as I dont bore you to sleep heheh! 😂😉
Love that you shared your memories with me about when you were a girl that you would find comfort alone out in nature, you were just like me..
Oh yes the rainfall and listening to it pitter patter on the tent or tarp is truly wonderful isn't it. Getting all snug and warm and lying back is the pinnacle of a good wild camp, as it's done nothing but rain here..In fact it's raining at this very moment heheh!
Thank you very much about my attempts at poetry😂I try my best as it's not normally something I'd do. Do you write poetry?
I fully understand about how you live your life and find it's more complete with animals rather than other people. I'm of the same as you again and have very few folk around, but those I do I love very dearly. Love that ' rainbow bridge' what a sweet way of talking👍
Oh so you've seen things in the sky also, that's cool I'd love to hear about it some time Patricia.
Thank you again for sharing your experiences and thoughts with me, you're so sweet 🤗🌳🌳🌳🌳
Hope you've had a nice day, all the very best to you
🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳🌳

My favourite outdoor channel 🌳🔥🌳
Love the "I'm trying to lose weight " followed by a six sausage fry up 😂 you are a man after my own heart 👍
Hi Simon, heheh! Glad you noticed that little comment😂👍🏻🥪🍔🥓

Thank you for watching and here's wishing you a great weekend Simon
All the very best
Mike
Nothing better than rain on the tarp, when you don't have to be anywhere or pack up in it😃👍. Always a chilled experience watching your videos. Looking at the date you posted this, it really was the calm before the tsunami. Cheers Mike 🇬🇧🏕👍.
One look @ the view,& the sound of the rain,& it's naptime!!I watched this same one yesterday & dreamed I myself was camping!What a nice rest it was,too!. :)
Hi Jimmy, glad you nodded off to sleep all relaxed listening to the rainfall mate. It really does make for a great wild camp when its a wet one.
All the very best my friend
Mike
Even with the rain had to be a nice peaceful get a way the view definitely perfect.

You are the John Lennon of wild camping Michael, sharing peace with everyone and being in the moment with nature. It is so relaxing watching your videos. Thanks also for sharing the DC4 quick demo as I just bought a wee DC3 and wasn’t 100% sure what to do. ATVB.
Hi there, aw thank you that's a truly lovely thing to say..🤗🌳🌳🌳
It's all about the peace yes, to be able to switch off to lifes unnatural problems in unnatural times.
Hey cool you're really welcome! Glad to have helped you...Ah the dc3 they are quite a bit smaller than the dc4 aren't they, that's another reason I made the leather on my dc4 a strop👍🏻 dc3's are really fine kit though, great to carry with a legal non locking knife. Hey let me know how you get on with your dc3 please, you should have an awesome edge in no time
Thank you for watching and such lovely words Urban💎Girl, its really appreciated
All the very best

Good to see another video from you big fella. Again, I'm watching it on a 16 hour nightshift but this time I'm going home to a few Amazon deliveries. Nothing massive; just a little Trangia burner and a versatile little bushcraft stove but it's a start. Guys like you have inspired me to get back into the camping lifestyle. I forgot down the years how nice it is to vanish and clear my head even more so when the rain is falling. Thanks for welcoming us back at camp. Happy trails. 🙂🔥
Hi there mate, thank you very much its really appreciated.
Sixteen hour night shift! Wow now that's some serious overtime! I used to work twelve hour nights and that was more than enough lol. Oh lovely kit waiting for you at the end of your shift, definitely well earnt mate👍🏻
Ah thank you, lovely to hear that I and others have inspired you to get back out there in the wonderful countryside. Oh yes rainfall is the most soothing sound there is isn't it mate...Pure bliss!
🌳🌳🌧😊🌧🌳🌳
Thank you for watching and your lovely comment, happy wild camping
All the very best

Another great video I love how normal and down to earth your videos are this is my kind of wild camping not all these glamping channels what are on you tube keep up the good work see you on the next one 👍👍
Hi Matthew, thank you mate that's awesome of you to say👍🏻😊👍🏻
I just be myself, no hidden agendas here etc...What you see is what you get, a bald bloke enjoying the woods and trying his best to share what he see's and feels.
Matthew, thank you for such a lovely comment mate its really appreciated believe me🤗🌳🌳🌳🌳
All the very best to you
Mike
Im here for that too, in the beginning I found ''bushcraft / wild camping'' through one of those ''this is my dayjob'' channels, I now never watch that or any channel like that, I prefer channels like Mike and others who are small and as you say, more down to earth - basically if Mike had 100k subs, I can see him still being the same person and thats what makes a good channel.
Cheers MKH
I watch a lot of camping/bush craft videos, especially in the UK even though I am in New Hampshire, US, and you are my favorite. Your appreciation for nature and your beautifully calm and welcoming nature make you a pure joy to watch. Would you consider doing a tour of your ink? You have some gorgeous artwork on you and I would love to see and hear your inspiration for them? Thank you for your effort in filming for us, I appreciate all you do. Peace and Love to you from America.-Heidi
Hi Heidi,
Aw thank you so much! What an awesome comment...You're so kind, you really are🤗
I shall have a chat about my tatts at some point or other, tbh I didnt think anyone would be interested.
Thank you very much for watching, here's wishing you a wonderful 2020 Heidi,

That Green Man tat is amazing. It'd be great to know who did it. When I return to Bromsgrove from France that'd be on my to do list. 😁
I'm a big Green Man fan, have books and masks from years back.
I liked your statement at the 1:03.20 mark... " All the time in the world" That's my thought when I'm camping or out in the woods. The Trangia's are great backpacking stoves, light , easy to pack , easy to use and quiet. I enjoyed your video , it's nice to see that it rains on someone else them myself. Here in Florida I have camped in Hurricanes , Tropical storms , numerous tropical downpours and our Summer thunder storms. When I can listen to some Owls sounding off during the night and rain on the Hammocks rain fly it's the perfect trip. No better sounds in this world when your camping.
Hi Chuck, great to hear you enjoyed watching my friend thank you. We sound very similar in our thoughts, and yes those trangia triangles are superb in every way. Heheh good job we enjoy the rain so much isn't it Chuck👍🏻😊👍🏻🌧🌳🌳🌳
Wow you have some serious weather over there to contend with, I'd love to wild camp in a tropical storm! That really would be epic, very testing but hey it's good to push ourselves and learn from experience.
I completely agree owls and rainfall are awesome to hear whilst out on a camp my friend.
Thank you very much for watching it's really appreciated
Here's wishing you all the very best
Mike
Nice to see you back out again and with the rain you are in your element I love your musing about the planet and the rich there may be more trueth in it than you think you cant beet the autumn winter months
Hi there, thank you mate much appreciated 🤗🌳🌳🌳
Yes everything is going on a downward spiral and I get no joy from talking about it, it's mostly the rich and their unquenchable greed and lust for power. These type only look after their own, the 'get rich as quickly as possible attitude' and tread on other people whilst do so is sickening. No thought for others including the earth and her long term health whatsoever.
Agreed my friend the Autumnal and winter weather is lovely, all the seasons have their own individual beauty
Thank you very much for watching, here's wishing you all the very best
Mike
Great video as usual Mike. Nice to hear the rain beating off the shelter, felt like I was almost there!
And top marks on the review of your gear 👌🏻
Looking forward to the next one, all the best!
Hi David, hey thank you my friend I appreciate you watching my video's
🌳🌳🌳🌧😊👍🏻⛺🌧🌳🌳🌳

Another great one Mike, getting better than the BBC now, always look forward to your ‘sit back and relax attitude’ Brilliant
Hi Cliff, thank you mate🤗Oh no not the BBC! Heheheh! 😆🤪
It's great to get camp set and all you have to worry about is a bit of cooking. Yes Cliff to sit back and relax is what it's all about...

Enjoyed seeing you back out and enjoyed your video. Kinda a bummer when it starts raining before you get set up and squared away. Thanks for sharing and I enjoyed our trip!
Hi there, thank you my friend I really appreciate you watching👍🏻😊👍🏻🌳🌳
Ah yes heheh it's typical when the weather suddenly decides to let loose like that, got to see the funny side in it.😆👍🏻 I guess it makes for good practice setting up as quickly as we can.
Awesome to hear you enjoyed watching mate, it's really appreciated...Thank you
All the very best

Good to see your exploits again mike. You really do love you camera work... and so do we as a result.

@@BlackCountryWoodsman and as for the thoughts on us being a virus and how the rich will cut and run with everything, so true. But then that is the survival instinct keep your own gene pool going, to help with the rest. Control the masses by letting them think they are free.
Another great video , lovely shout out to your tom .we are so proud of you tom .love watching your videos and im proud of you for doing what you love , lots of love your karen xxx
Hi Karen, thank you.....Equally proud of you for your running and not forgetting Callum and little Tom lol.

Another great vid to watch (except the knife on the nails test that fair put me on edge lol) especially the rain, love the sound of it on canvas. I know it's an old vid but keep up the good work. Cheers.
Awesome video mate, I always enjoy your videos and the film work and scenery is always great. I wouldn't mind a bit of that rain down here in Oz. I enjoy your talks and philosophy, it's always nice to hear someone talk about their thoughts,ideas and feelings with passion.

What a find, you’ve got a great channel Mike made all the better for having a local accent.
Love your outlook on life, use of old trusted equipment because it works and has a sentimental attachment.
Subbed and bell rang, look forward to your next video.
Hi there, hey thank you very much😊👍🏻 Great to hear you're from round the same area as me. I just share my thoughts at the time of filming, lovely to hear that you enjoy my ramblings heheh! Yes old military surplus has always been a favourite of mine, if it's good for them then its definitely good for us👍🏻 I think we all have kit that we shall always have with us just because of it's pure reliability, and the fond memories that become attached to them.
Thank you very much for the sub it's really appreciated my friend, I'm just in the middle of planning my next wild camp...Can't wait to get back out there

Nice vid! Just had my first wild camp, Ulpha in the Lake District not far from my home. Used the french ex military ⛺️ F2. Storm lantern and basic military meths Trangia. Old school!
Just to listen to the rain and river, I find peace...
Hi John, thank you my friend..
Ah nice choice👍🏻I love the F2 and think it doesn't get enough credit for how good a tent it really is. I bet it was amazing wild camping up there, I'd love to do a wild camp in the lakes at some point. Can't beat old ex military kit mate....Sounds blissful
Thank you very much for watching John
All the very best

Lovely comments about the Earth Mike and the mindlessness of the elite. What a lovely natural haven you have there, you have looked after it hence it has looked after you well. Great weather, atmosphere and outstanding film editing, such a joy to see you out again. Wishing you well and a long connection with mother nature, cosmos and the vibrant life of everything. Atb.

Smashed it again Mike great video and so relaxing. Also great to hear your stories and views on the world we live in, you are right on so many levels, if you stood for prime minister you'd get my vote 😀 . Oh and I use to work for BCB International mainly camo creams and spot welding the cups and pans , my favourite was the research and development side of it assembling air cannons and testing the kit to the extreme before it went on sale. Thanks again look forward to seeing more of your videos. Take care Vic.
Absolutely 💗 this one ....I would of slept like a log with the pouring Autumn rain and probably of had a little dance in it also 🤗 Beautiful scenery as always and loved the UFO encounter and was really hopefull there would be a ghost encounter that you've experienced after also ....Always smile and feel very relaxed after watching your content especially the ones where it rains or snows .....Awesome 😎👍🌧🌪🌲🌳🌲🌳🍁🍂🍁🍂
Hi there, hey fantastic to hear you enjoyed the video I never intended it being that long! I think I just usually edit a little heavier than I did with this one...Guess it gives more of a raw feel this way.
Ah yes the UFO that really was so very strange that night, no breeze no sound and no other people or traffic. It's quite near a main road that has plenty of traffic, not in that evening though...Seemed like it went on forever but only an instant lol, one experience I'll not forget. A ghost encounter, well maybe I could of added something along those lines but definitely nothing as solid as the UFO'S or whatever they were.
Thank you very much for your kind words, awesome to hear you enjoyed watching...Thank you🤗🌳🌳🌳

@@BlackCountryWoodsman yes the UFO encounter was very interesting and they say the only people that get to see them usually are taken without ever knowing so maybe you were given certain knowledge during your encounter Mike .....There's so much more out there ....Brilliant video and chat🍂🍁🌳🌲💕🍂🍁🌳🌲
At last :) always look forward to your gifts of peace and sanity Mike. Gotta go cook but will be back to watch the rest. Nice long episode.
Hi Caroline, ah thank you very much...Hey I always look forward to your lovely comments, and I really appreciate each one...You're so kind, thank you 🤗🌳🌳
Hope you enjoyed your meal, and the video.
Take care and all the very best

@@BlackCountryWoodsman Well it's not hard to share nice comments on your vids Mike... I don't think I've seen one single bad comment. You are much appreciated 🌞
@@carolinesmyth127 Thank you Caroline, I get the occasional childish comment...Just block and delete em, haven't got time for stupid people.
Take care
Probably the nicest guy on you tube 👍
Ah mate thank you! 🤗
Lovely comment, much appreciated

Premium quality video,thanks a lot!And you capture the beauty of the British countryside like no other.
But I really admire most your inspiration and am so grateful for your confidence building and the encouragement that you you always offer your viewers to enjoy the outdoors.
I am tomorrow having to live in a tent(new Vaude campo compact xt) for an indefinite period until I sort myself out,and watching your videos really has taken the fear factor out of the equation for me.I just hope two things: 1) I can find a beautiful peaceful spot same as you always find,and 2)that the "green"tent that I ordered on a website doesn't appear bright fluorescent disco green in real life!
Have small £100 a week work pension which is ample to live on.But when I have settled in the wild camp site for a few days and gathered my confidence again I can with luck get work again.My pride won't let me go down the dole merchant route yet,but may come to that if i can't get work soon.Sliding rapidly downwards at the moment but all you wild camping guys are giving me a chance to tackle it all.Thanks mate,keep up the good work.You really are a pioneer and shining light in these spiritually dark days!
Take care mate,best wishes and thanks
again.
Hi Jon, aw thank you so much! What a super lovely comment from your good self.
That's it Jon, fear not the woodlands and forests they belong to us all not just the wealthy landowners. But we must always respect the landowner and of course the woodlands themselves, if discovered then if your camp is tidy and no litter to be seen then you're set for the best possible outcome if you've been discovered.
To find those lovely peaceful spots as you know you've got to get as far away from any trail as possible. To places where the only trails around are made by animals and not humans.
All I can do is thank you for your kind words, and wish you all the very best for now and the future. I'm sure youll find work but if you have to claim dole money there's no shame in that mate. This is just a turning point in your life and I'm sure things shall change for the better. Obviously I hope (I'm sure you are) that you're not far from fresh water and ready for the frosts.
Thank you for talking to me about what you're doing, I do hope that others know of your whereabouts Jon.
The darkest and longest of tunnels cannot go on forever, light is always at the end of any tunnel my friend.
Please keep intouch with me and anyone else.
Take care, be safe and never sleep cold...
Bless you

Hi Mike, sorry for the very late reply!! Have only just seen your lovely kind message.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me!
I am OK now thanks, have found a place that gives me free rent in return for a couple of hours cleaning in the morning, so have a base to build from now thankfully.
Was wild camping for about 6 weeks only and the weather was damp but not really cold.
Found a lovely spot in the woods north of Chichester. Wonderful listening to the deer and foxes barking at night and the owls screeching, the wind blowing through the branches. Knowing that you are the only one hearing it all is a real privilege. I never slept so well TBH.
I bought 2 cheap sleeping bags and put one inside the other so was plenty warm at night. Surprised actually how good some of the cheap gear is nowadays compared to when I was younger. Tent was large enough to be comfortable but was not really strong enough. Unfortunately the inner tent material was a delicacy to woodmice so ended up with more ventilation than I desired...
You are so right Mike water is the most important and lugging it into camp is worth the effort. Bought a Trangia after watching your videos and they are fantastic. Cheapest fuel from Toolstation;worth buying a big bottle of methylated spirits. Lasted me a couple of weeks with heavy use.
Have a new respect for homeless people now. The downward spiral is very rapid; in one week only you can face despair. But there are still a few good people out there that care(people like you Mike)! If anybody finds themselves in that situation just try to stay focused and keep your self respect and discipline. Stay organized and keep planning and building for future health and well-being. Living in the peace and tranquility of the woods rebuilds a broken spirit and gives you valuable, undisturbed thinking time.
Thanks Mike, leaving no trace and cleaning up the campsite is very important. Not only is it the decent thing to do but also is very pleasing to the eye!
Anyway Mike, thanks again for the kind words and I look forward to all your upcoming videos in 2020 and wsh you many years of happiness both out in the wilds and also in your personal life with family and friends. Very best wishes to you. Cheers, Jon.
Cracking vid
Happy new year to you, and thanks for this video👍🎆

Best vedio
Good video
01:09, thats birch polypore on that birch there, many uses both for bushcraft or for health. I've been meaning to write a post on my blog about it but keep putting it off because most of the time Im camping instead haha
cheers dude, always good checkig your vids
Hi there mate, yes it is indeed! Heheh I certainly know what you mean, wild camping literally becomes a massive part of your life that you cannot do without.
Hey thank you so very much for watching
All the very best

@@BlackCountryWoodsman I know buddy! I did one last night (Sunday 10th) and also the tuesday prior (Guy fawkes).
haha
Cheers man, catch you soon
Another peaceful overnight with Mike in the woods In the rain. So relaxing mate it's a pleasure to journey along with you. It always feels as though I'm there with you on these wonderful adventures of yours. Thanks for the adventure Mike and look forward to the next one. Keep on keeping on. Bushyboy Oz.
Hi Ewen, ah thank you my friend you're very kind to say that, 💎👍🏻
Ah that's exactly what I'm after, that you feel you're coming along with me on the woodland/ forest adventure..Awesome!
Hey Ewen plenty planned for the rest of this year and the next🌳🌳👍🏻😊👍🏻🌳🌳
Thank you again mate, it's really appreciated Bushyboy Oz⭐
All the very best
Mike
Not seen you in a while Mike but its an absolute pleasure to be watching you again. And I have the One Tigris Tipinova, I just bought it and what you said about a modern day polish lavvu applies to that as well. Single skin and weighs just over a kilo, loop on top or trekking pole / stick as a pole. Really fine midge proof big netting on the door and loads of vents. If anybody like me likes the lavvu but can't get hold of a large or wants a modern high tech lightweight hiking friendly version, get the tent Mike's showing here or the Tipinova. I don't see point in nodding a heavy lavvu to get half the features of a lighter tent like this one. Peace
Hello Mike. Great to see you out & about in the woods. Not long now my friend until the shortest day, can’t wait for that. It amazing to see that things have buds on already for next spring. Everything is just sleeping waiting for the warmth & sun to trigger it off. I do love the hex, can’t understand why they don’t seam seal it for its price. All the best Andy
Hi Andy, thank you mate😊👍🏻🌳🌳 yes mate I'm the same as you looking forward to the shortest day also. That magical cycle of the seasons, there's something special to each and every one👍🏻
Mate maybe they do seam seal the hex tents nowadays, mines a good few years old now and is the hex v4 I know the v4a is out and maybe they've done that on the latest version...Good point mate, yeah they should do at the price of them.
Thank you for watching its really appreciated Andy

Love the sound of the rain hitting the tent. I've not camped in really heavy, persistent rain yet, but I've always wanted to do it. Good video mate!
Hi Gaz, thank you I'm glad you enjoyed watching mate it😊👍🏻🌳🌳🌳
Hey keep on camping my friend and you'll get your wish with the heavy persistent rain, just a matter of time👍🏻
Thank you again Gaz, much appreciated my friend

Nalgene bottles have set the standard for years. They make BPA-free models as well. They are nearly indestructible, leak proof, and come in a variety of sizes, plus most water filters are sized to fit the bottle. Great pieces. Other than stainless steel they can't be beat.
Hi there, I completely agree with you Nalgene bottles are the best out there...Mine's BPA free, that's something I always check for like your goodself 😊👍🏻
Love my stainless steel too👍🏻
Thank you for watching
All the very best
Mike
Yo Mike, Iam sat in the woods relaxing after my meal, I hear your notification.. Watch it when I get back... Nice way to finish the day

Thanks again, stay safe and well

Your portions are getting bigger than mine mate haha, we can both shift the food mate, it's needed on a camp and always tastes better outdoors, it's always raining on your camps, but like you say, makes it more cozy, some beautiful shots of the Autumn woods and stream, nice chat too, hope your well my friend, , cracking video and camp , all the best 👍
Hi Gaz, heheheh! Mate we surely can get the grub down our necks...This is exactly it Gaz, those extra calories help no end whilst wild camping, especially making sure we sleep warm👍🏻🥓🥪🍔
Mate it does always seem to rain when I'm out there, good job we love it so much...In all fairness I'm hoping for a dry camp on my next video, purely because I dont like risking water damage to my camera etc, I'm sure you feel the same matey.
Glad you enjoyed watching Gaz and its great to hear from you.
I shall have a catch up on your channel when i get some free time, life is so hectic at the moment down here in the Black Country.
Thank you again gaz, have a great weekend
All the very best
Mike

Close encounters of the Belly buster breakfast kind. 😂
Six snossages..... You'd eat one more tater than a warthog my friend, what a champion 🏆
Another quality film mate, thanks for the upload.

I think I could handle quite a lot of hearing rain on the tarp. Haven't heard it myself since last winter, so I'm envious. Your camping and cooking in the woods setting is inspiring. I'm having thoughts of a bit of a temporary heated shelter in my wood lot. Have lots of dead standing conifers and some blow downs thanks to hurricane Dorion so crude materials are not a problem. Thanks for the video.
Hi Frank, hey its crazy to think that you've not heard rain on your tarp since last winter.
Sounds awesome that you're considering a temporary heated shelter, I dont blame you as it sounds a great idea with all that dead fall that you have.
Thank you very much for watching Frank its really appreciated, great to hear from you

Superb again Mike,no way you eat all that food😲 your spot in with all the gear you use,as for mike's musings your spot on with that as well 🙂👍
Hi Phil, heheh! Yes my friend I can certainly eat more than my fair share of food😊👍🏻its only when I'm camping that I tend to eat that much, honest😉
Awesome to hear you enjoyed watching Phil, thank you mate its really appreciated
Here's wishing you a good day

You look Sooo much like Bobcat Goldthwait! xD
I'll take that as a compliment😊👍

Excellent photography again, and all I can say is "Bring on the snow!" I would have slept like a baby in that rain, always loved the sound of rainfall.
Hi Lloyd, thank you mate you're a star⭐
Heheh! Yes mate we need another beast from the east, that'd be awesome.
I normally sleep like you say, but the rainfall was deafening really was so very loud maybe you'd sleep ok, you must be a very deep sleeper then Lloyd.
Thank you for watching and its always a pleasure to talk to you
Take care and all the very best

@@BlackCountryWoodsman If I'm at all sleepy then I can sleep for England! Do you think a canvas tent would have been so noisy? I've found nylon fly covering and tarp very noisy in the rain but not so much canvas. I think I may have seen some sort of "cold winter" warning last week when we had the cold weather, so we can only hope :) And it would be so nice to have a white Christmas this year :) Cheers for now mate ;)
love your video, just found you, subscribed.
