Mike, a lovely and stealthy way to spend a Sunday morning👍 Cool to hear of the understanding, connection and peacefulness that has come through your wild camping over the past year. It sounds like there will be much more to come in 2024 - all the best for it👍
It’s been a great and insightful year to be honest Gerry. Finishing this year much better than I started it. Looking forward to 2024 and the opportunities that come.
Great vid, can totally relate to what you're saying regarding solo camping. It's almost like the obligatory thing to do kind of. From 1979 to now I've never done a solo camp, never ever been bothered to try as always preferred being with wife or friend/s, but since starting my own wee channel my head keeps saying I should for sake of channel whilst my head says I don't really want to. (I don't rule it out completely). Happy to hike alone or do a day camp alone but prefer company otherwise. Anyway, enjoyed watching your vid 🙂Lovely spot you're in too 👍Being in nature definitely good for the soul and mental health.
Cheers mate! I did do a few solo wild camps last year, which I enjoyed, but I enjoyed the camps with friends much more. I think regarding your own channel you've got to just do you. I've also felt the tug to do what others established channels do, but that ain't me. Thanks for the comment, it's much appreciated. Hope you're 2024 adventures are awesome.
What a lovely chat Andy - I'll go with no fighting. Mind you there's enough of a fight inside - good to hear that wild camping has brought some peace to that and especially community. Yes, after losing my dear twin brother I know the value of a shared experience. We would share the wild camping and it was the best. So, I get your joy there. Well, a nice flame and a bit of nosh doesn't go amiss. Good going - seasons greetings. Mark
Hi Mark, thanks so much for your comment. (My name is Mike BTW 😂) I knew that you'd lost a brother, didn't realise it was your twin though. I actually feel and react very differently than I did a while ago, ditching the anger has been great. Wild Camping and bushcraft has been the best present that i've received this year. Happy Christmas mate, stay well. Mike
@@WalkTalkBrew Alright there Mike, yeah Paul - lived together/proper twins. I miss him. Good to hear of the release of anger. We were angry men once - I get that and of course the wild camping. Have a good end to the year. Peace.
Good to hear your thoughts and your appreciation of those around you. Fantastic upload, can totally relate to what you're saying regarding solo camping.
Last year was a great learning opportunity. I've been really quiet so far this year with Covid and flu like symptoms from Christmas and then a trapped nerve in my shoulder. Feeling a lot better now, so hopefully will be getting out in Feb.
Hi Mike Was good to meet for a coffee and a chat. Hope the leg is healing, looking forward to getting out. Give me a shout anytime Happy Xmas to you and your family
Hi Greg, the leg is healing nicely. Depending on the weather (wind) i will try and get a camp before the New Year. I'll let you know well in advance though. 🙂
good evening sir .. lovely demonstration . .. really liked the angle you used between your legs. That was some cut to the leg.. I've noticed since i built the fart that my requirement to go camping has greatly reduced. Just sitting in the woods processing wood seems to satisfy my needs. If you camp with other people who are self sufficient it is a whole different deal than camping with someone who has never camped before. The loads are shared.. I notice anger in people I bring walking, it always surprises me how much anger they have and i always love to watch it release from them. Would really enjoy a camp with you some time, Norden Iron isn't too far a field. Happy christmas to you and yours brother. My motto is do good things, i think its the key to the world
Brilliant Mike, watched it all, very interesting insightful chat 👍 that does look deep that cut, hopefuly its healing ok, ive actually just ordered the carbon mora knife so youve given me a idea for a vid ( basically im stealing yours 😂😂😂) i just need to get a ferrous rod like yours, mine are only little ones. Looked a lovely spot to sit and eat your burnt pork lol, also its hard work being angry, so much less stressful just being mellow and happy, you take care buddy 👍👍
Cheers Mick, you're a star. I'm looking forward to seeing the Mora Knife review, i hope I get a shoutout 😂. Totally agree about the anger. Happy Christmas and New Year mate. Stay well 🙂
Hi Mike. That was a good chat and i understand exactly where your coming from. If you fancy joining me for a forest camp in the new year you are welcome.
The leg is grand, I on the other hand have been broken by christmas. 🙂We had Covid over the festive period, then I had another virus in the new year which came along with a nasty fever. Much more unpleasant than Covid... then to add insult to injury I also went a trapped a nerve in my upper back whilst I had a fever. Yes, definitely up for a camp. My first proper free weekends are the 17th or 24th Feb.
Hi Mike, good vid mate. Good to hear your thoughts and your appreciation of those around you. We both shared one amazing experience in August and like yourself Mike that connection with likeminded veterans was real camaraderie. Andy does a brilliant job. I’m looking forward to catching up with you and the lads again in the new year. Have a happy and kind Christmas you and your family. Do take care of that leg wound too mate. 👍✊
Cheers Greg, the cut is healing nicely, the bandage is off just letting it get some fresh air to help the healing. Yes, looking forward to next year and the adventures, friendships and stories that await. Happy Christmas and New Year.
Hi Alan, thanks for the comment. Mate, i'd be more than happy to get a chat with you sometime in the New Year. (My name is Mike BTW 😂). Happy Christmas and New Year. 🙂

I hope you got that sutured. You are right, it's good to talk. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hi Chris, I didn't get any stitches, just had it looked at. It's healing nicely. Happy Christmas and New year to you and the family.

I'm almost ready for a beach camp .
One nighter or something easy @@WalkTalkBrew
Never done a beach camp, but would be happy to give it a go. Where'd you have in mind?

How's the leg ?
I got my car fixed recently , we should try to do something. Get the community going .
