    This is what happened when I planned a wild camp on the Isle of Arran at the last minute and then forgot to check my gear list. Even after 40 years I can still make some rookie mistakes! Still it was an enjoyable 24 hours on a great island. On a more serious note I reflect on the recent candid video from Paul Messner. If you enjoyed my video please consider buying me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/andrewpark Every little helps and thank you for your support!

    Evening Andrew. Only just got around to watching this video. Made a few co*k ups myself over the years. You do learn quickly though 😂. Thank you for you kind words of support. Things are getting a lot better now. I’ve got more structure and less distractions and trying to simplify things. Although deciding which tent to take out is still a tough decision 😂 Best wishes. Paul

    Of course 43 years ago you’d have had no sleeping pad, no phone and no drone, but not only did you survive, but you enjoyed yourself enough to still be doing it 43 years on.

    You pulled that one back from the brink without any drama + good man. And good man for reaching out to Paul Messner. It's a tough world at times and easy to get swallowed up by it

    Hi Andrew, dont be too hard on your self. I once went car camping and forgot to pack the tent! I reckon that glorious scenery would be some compensation. Best wishes from Australia.

    Love your videos and so great to see acknowledgment of the community vis a vis Paul Messner. Arran looks lovely as well, thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for the Paul Messner message. He and others have kept me going through some bad times!

    It’s so annoying when you forget something. I have a couple of list sheets I’ve laminated, which I check the night before. Not only does it help me to pack everything, but also helps prevent overpacking. Great video. Arran looks so beautiful. Cheers 👍

    I just came across this film, loved it and now subscribed to your channel. Some great filming and wild camping, and the mistakes are much more interesting than when everything runs perfectly 😉 But I totally empathise with the feeling of forgetting vital equipment for intended plans - the amount of times I've forgotten the wrong charging wire or brought the camera with no SD card in it! Or was sure tge tent pegs were in the bag (partly why I bivvy - keep it simple!) Guess it's a bit simpler filming most stuff on my phone too! And good shout out to Paul, I've got nothing but respect for his honesty and it's so important to mentally recalibrate when you start feeling pressure to go in a direction which takes you away from the life you love. I totally celebrate particularly men opening up and expressing these sorts of feelings. Having lost my brother to suicide, I so wish he'd been able to talk about stuff when it all got too much. So much strength and worth in Paul's message for all of us, even those of us who aren't making any money from youtube.

    We’ve all made those same mistakes mate. I’m also self employed and have to get out at every opportunity not necessarily camping but a good walk in the open always helps. Great video live to fight another day 🤣

    Gave me a good wee laugh this, Andrew. And we've all been there! A couple of years ago we had an exceptionally hot summer here in Norway, and I was planning on pitching my tent on top of a local mountain. However, the dried out ground gave absolutely no support for the tent pegs, so I re-packed my backpack and found a nice, green lawn in lower terrain. It's all about adjusting, I guess. Thanks for another great video. :-)

    Drone shots looking great! Good to see more of the community talking about Paul and the issues creators face that many are never brave enough to film and talk about

    Hi Andrew. Nice of you to take the time to say a few words about Paul. His total commitment to producing his informative videos was always evident and he has taken a very brave step in putting his problems out there. Many will join you in wishing him well.

    I’m going hillwalking in the morning. I’ll be sure to double check my gear before I go, after watching your video. Btw, 40 years ago I borrowed a tent from a friend and headed off to Glencoe without checking it. As I tried to pitch it I discovered I had no poles or pegs. And it was chucking it down. A very wet night I still remember well 😂
