Ste, if you can remember where I live when I saw you when you were working, you are welcome to come and help yourself to what I have. Are you at Jacks place/ Royal George ? You are welcome to borrow a frontier stove or my Jackery, etc to keep your small electrics going. What ever you need. Our Washing machine, etc is available for you to use.
Thank you Mark, we are so grateful for your support, and your offer of help. It means alot to us to know we have people like you around us. Thank you so much.
It’s not much, but hopefully it helps. I know you’re built for it, you’ve taught me a lot! It pains me to see a housing situation like this awaiting a higher power list to speed the process. I hope everything turns around for you and glad to see you’re making the most of it! Don’t worry about the negativity out there, people just assume!
I've been homeless for nearly 1 month now, strangely enough my mental health has improved by leaps and bounds and feel just fortunate to be alive. It has its days and I have limited resources but I make the best of what I have. I'm 29 years of age living in midland England and appreciate you shedding some light on your situation, it gives me hope and a sense of community knowing I'm not the only one going through this. Kudos to you and your partner.
I'm so very sorry to hear this. I'm glad your mental health has improved it's good to hear a positive side to your situation. I wish you the very best of luck. And hopefully you are housed very soon.
Definitely NOT the only one enduring this. I will say I honestly believe that when the economy starts growing and housing becomes affordable again we will see people who truly don’t want to get back into a big headache of being overburdened with bills! This lifestyle will continue on for many. It may be a little harder to survive but less the stress of being on a clock and killing your self with hours on in at a job that really doesn’t care about us. A warm dry place to rest at night with a hot meal is all we need. Imagine taking that saved money and enjoying life!!!!!! You got this I promise….. good luck to all who are experiencing this. Turn it into a positive lesson…… 💪🏽💯
It took me a year of street homeless to get a flat although I wouldn't give up my dog..well 3 years including hostels..I'm 60 you have more chance of platting fog... Bristol
Know exactly what your goin thru pal... Me and my misses lost it all...down to my ill health...and couldnt work for years. We ended up living in a tent ..then an old tourer....then we saved hard and ended up in an old static on a lovely site. Then the site had new management...and we got kicked off !! So here we are again....no home..misses just lost her job ..no income...no benefits...! But we will get thru...we will survive...😊 We will rise up again... As long as you have shelter, food, love and a good relationship...you will survive. Just take care of your mental health...because thats where it hits hard. Love an respect to you an your misses... 😊
It's hard for me to believe this situation in the UK. Unless you're dealing with severe issues like addiction and refusing help, there is plenty of support available, especially for those who are ill. I've personally experienced sudden unemployment and the inability to pay rent, but within a week of contacting Universal Credit, I received an interest-free loan that covered my rent for the month. Within a month, I got my first Universal Credit payment, which gave me enough time to find work without needing to move or look for another place to live. In England, there's so much assistance available that it's hard to imagine ending up on the streets. Frankly, it makes no sense to me. Additionally, what this person is doing doesn't add up either. They claim to have jobs but are now homeless-that just doesn’t make sense. I suspect they are leaving out key details that would explain their situation.
Quite simply...your wrong. I work in the frontline of healthcare AND lost everything last year. And i was very much left to it. Your ideas and beliefs about the system are out of date...since the tories came in in 2010 swinging cuts and profiteering off properties have left many ordinary folk in s*** street @puzzlemagnet1957
During the last recession we became houseless. But never homeless, we had our camper and it was tight for a family of four. We actually became happier with time because we were so grateful for what we had.
FOR EVERYONE: one way to support this channel is to allow the commercials to run all the way through while you watch the video, this is the way Ste Outdoors can get paid any money. If you skip the commercials, then they don't get money...if you watch at least 30 seconds they get a tiny bit but if you allow the commercial to play all the way through then they get more money. A sneaky way to do this easily and benefits both you and the channel is to start the video and let everything run...turn off the sound. Open a 2nd tab and go into RUclips again, watch the video and skip the commercials like you normally do...so you'd have two tabs open on YT both running the same video, one you leave to run all the way and the 2nd you use to skip commercials.
In all my Seventy years, I have never seen the country in such a mess. Successive governments have neglected and failed the people of this country and I really feel for your generation, however, I suspect things are coming to a head within the next few months, and there will be a drastic change for the better very soon. I'm glad you have each other to lean on in these tough times, and wish you both the very best. Stay strong and stay positive, and your luck should change.
@@Victoria-gq8gt No, both parties have flooded the country with illegal immigration for decades, and both parties have destroyed our industrial capacity. Both ignore the wishes of the people., and simply work for the EU, WEF etc.
My kid didn't know I was homeless for near a year. I only saw her once a fortnight so we went "camping" then. Best nights of my life cos I knew how to camp. Brilliant episode dude
I'm 58 and due to bereavement, have had to sell up, couldn't afford all the bill's, not eligible for benefits, so am now sofa surfing, have bought a tent, but hate to pay the utter rip off site fees, asked for these days, non electric pitch should cost around £4 a night, but of course the country has been set up to suck people dry, for company profits and shares , lucky I've got good friends, and am looking at alternatives, like van life, time will tell, good luck to all in the same situation, stay positive 👍
Which part of the country are you based. I am a widowed pensioner and live alone...I'm looking to decorate next year and start some sort of a small commune so live will be less stressful. Obviously we need to be on the same wavelength so to speak.
BEEN IN THE SAME PLACE MY SON AND MYSELF 60 YR OLD LADY WERE HOMELESS FOR 4 YEARS, AM FROM SOUTH AFRICA AND BELIEVE ME YOU HAVE IT BETTER THAN WE DO IN OUR COUNTRY THEY DO NOTHING TO HELP THE HOMLESS, BUT WE MADE IT THROUGH HARD WORK AND DETERMINNATION, NOT THAT WE ARE INA MASION OR ANYTHING, BUT KEEP YOUR SPIRTS UP AND TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME. I WISH YOU EVERYTHING OF THE BEST AND I HEAR YOU WHEN YOU SAID THE ONES YOU THOUGHT WOULD HELP DONT , BUT BELIEVE ME HELP WILL COME FROM THOSE YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.
Your video just popped up and Im watching now from Australia. Its the same here mate.. No one can afford to live.. 1 in 4 Aussies are worried about becoming homeless & the rate of homelessness already here has never been seen like it is now.. Its every western country it seems.. Ive just subbed to your channel.. I really hope you & your Mrs are ok moving forward.
@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors 6 ton a month seems extortionate . It would make more sense to wild camp free. Never owned an iron myself ... I spent 2 years purposefully homeless while I saved up for my motorhome . But I lived in my volvo estate as opposed to a tent . ( had a tent also for drinking beer in )😂 I parked in a 24 hr gym car park so I could use the showers ,bogs etc.etc.etc.. And also charge my power banks up . And use their WiFi.. Don't hold your breath on the council house idea , could easily be 5 years. I like your tent ..
Why embarrassed. He's doing well. I'd rather be there where he is than my house but only thing is I couldn't get up from the ground as I get bad cramp. Houses can be a disaster and a trial for a few reasons.
You have a home, it's just made of a different material than most homes. And it's FINE for the time being. You'll look back in a few years and this will all seem a big adventure!
I totally agree, and nomads still live like this today it's just an alternative style of living. ......for me and you. We are a special breed 😄 my Mrs on the other hand needs home comforts like windows and a letter box haha
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors now you can take it, give it some years and you will age fast.. that lifestyle is not healthy, and so is the equitment used either unhealthy eating and heating that effects your health, bad sleep and so on is not stuff that keeps you young i have lived in a 50 year old alternative community with over 1000 people, and it was not a place many people got old.
Glad to hear you and your missus have a strong connection and maintaining a unified front. A lot of people today would have likely bailed on their partner when times get rough, so it speaks volumes to the character, heart and dedication you two have for each other and is so wonderful to see ❤. The world seems to be going even more sideways with each passing day and it is unfortunate to see good people like you two cast into that kind of situation. Your bushcraft training will prove invaluable for sure and this will be a true testament to the wealth of knowledge you have been and will continue to give us all. Stay strong brother ❤👊.
Very nice setup. My wife, I and our two teenage boys ended up homeless back in 2012. The 2008 crash spiraled us down until - like thousands of people in the US; we ended up homeless. We finally rented a RV spot in the woods on someones property and spent the winter in summer tents in Oregon. The next summer we purchased a Tipi and the following winter was much better and warmer. We all took it as a challenge to survive and prayed allot that God would help us - and He did! Your skills will definitely help, and what you learn now can be used to help others learn to survive when they become homeless too.... Unless things change for the better in this world - many more people will become homeless here in the future. God Bless you both and keep you safe, warm, and well fed!
I'm sorry to heat that you and your family have had some tough times. I'm sure some of it was fun too. Yeah I love the outdoors it's my happy place. I wish you and your family well wishes.
I was homeless and living on the street for 4 years, i now own a house and my own business. Life throws you curveballs you just have to handle them correctly. As Winston Chruchill once said and its something i've always lived by "If you're going through Hell, keep going!" You'll get there.
No need to be embarrassed. These are crazy times. You seem to have a very positive outlook, which I'm sure will stand you in good stead. I doubt I would be so resilient. Good luck and thank you for sharing
We are full time tent Nomads in the uk 🇬🇧 and we loves it matey, don't be too down. "living like animals" laughed at that. We can't carry tables and such, but we're on foot with backpacks tho. Tough times ahead, stay safe cully. 👍🏼
Gutted for you mate, we are in the same boat and looks like we will lose our flat very soon. We have the campervan to live in. Keep your heads up, keep supporting each other, you will get through this. 🤩👍🌟
This is a true video about the reality of life in the UK for many people. I actually started learning camping because I expect to be homeless in the near future, so I'm preparing myself.
Been on the edge of homelessness for the last 6 months, it’s been a struggle since Yellow Freight filed bankruptcy last July. The circumstances I’m under now are why I haven’t posted videos this year. I’m sorry to hear you and yours are going through something similar. Stay strong Ste!
I'm so sorry to hear this. We wish you all the very best and really hope you come out of this horrible situation very soon. We have everything crossed for you. Stay strong.
Very sorry to hear your troubles buddy,glad to see you and your mrs staying strong. I woke up one day was so stressed with mortgage payments and the cost off everything I did this by choice. Turned out to be a 12 year adventure ended up in france then in Spain camping campsite fees are ridiculously cheaper. Plus great weather made so many friends from all over Europe. I now live in Cornwall in a one bedroom apartment but to be honest I am wild camping as much as I am in my apartment love being in nature.STAY STRONG GUYS 👍
Wow, that sounds amazing. I could live like this forever. But I'm not sure the missus could 🤔. I bet you have some amazing stories to yo tell. Thank you for your support.
I lost my house a year ago and currently in a caravan on a farm touching a year wouldn’t change it ever me the 2 cats and freedom keep your head up there’s more to life than being a sheep
I have been your situation for 3 years, just keep your head high. Nothing to be embarrassed about. It is tough at the moment but all will work out for the best. Keep believing and keep your head high.
Homelessness is a great problem worldwide...I'm close to it myself. I have been looking into tent living. Thank you for this video and may God bless you and your family ❤
Disfusting that good people are made homeless!! Australia is crumbling too. My sincere prayers you have the strength to endure until your circumstances change. May your lovely partner keep strong. You seem a courageous man and I know youll make it together.
Brother, I hate to hear that about you and your sweet missus. I pray that y'all will get what you need and be where you wanna be. Stay positive and know that y'all are in my prayers 🙏
Please don’t be embarrassed - life is precarious these days and I can relate - single mama with three kids. It’ll happen and you’ll get a place. Well done for making the most of the experience. Just need to look at life a bit differently, tent, van, boat - not sure a 25 yr mortgage is particularly appealing these days. Stay positive!
Absolutely 💯 what you said it's a shock to the system, but alternative living Is an essential consideration these days. Even if I could afford to buy a house I wouldn't want to be obligated to pay a £300k mortgage for the rest of my life! Especially at 44 years old! Hope you are well and stay safe.
Sorry to hear about your situation, Ste. Hope all works out. At least you have a nice big warm cozy tent and necessities. Best of luck to you and the Mrs. I'll keep you in my prayers.
Don’t be embarrassed mate, I’m currently at my local library in a tent, same sort of situation, I’m in band C currently, been homeless for 6 months and been in the tent at the library for nearly 7 weeks now, still waiting for space to be cleared in social housing whilst I’m currently placing bids on council property’s, I only need a 1 bed myself. Some days are worse than others I agree but we’ve all gotta keep our heads and hopes high, I hope your situation gets rectified asap the same as mine! Great content like usual bud, keep up the hard work and graft, all the best to you and your partner buddy. Your channel has given me the motivation to keep pushing on. Wishing everyone in the same situation all the best! Cheers 👌🏻
M8! That's a bit crap! Are you working? Are you actually in the building at least? I really do hope things improve for you soon! Have they not offered you temporary accommodation?
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors I’ve gotten a lucky break as I have a public toilet near me, the library is open fairly often so I can charge my power bank, got a couple local shops and a chemist nearby, sadly not working at the moment as I don’t have my own transport to get to various nearby work places, plus my setup is extremely basic at the moment, I’ve not been offered any social housing or emergency housing as of yet, I’m hopefully as had some type of trust organisation come out and verify me as rough sleeping, she’s helped me out massively bless her, been helping with food and all sorts really, she’s the one that’s been pushing to try to get me in somewhere even if it’s just temporary for now, basically she’s an angel in my eyes! I’m hopeful something will be sorted soon myself, just got to keep pushing, can’t deny it my mental health is completely shot and I do have to take medication 3 times daily for it, some days ain’t to bad but others are worse, I’ve just decided to be completely open about it all, atleast others out there going through the same situation know they ain’t the only ones. We all just got to hold on and keep up the good fight 💪🏻
As I mentioned in my video, there's 8000 homeless ex forces, let alone the other people you mentioned too mate. Again, stay safe, positive vibes your way.
Hey man fully appreciate your honesty and transparency!!! I was just laid off our company went under after 70yrs they couldn't afford to be open anymore... continue doing what is essential and what you need but most importantly be thankful and happy&healthy strong&safe brotha✊️🔥✌️💚
Hello, I'm not quite what you call homeless, but I do reside in a Static Caravan. My partner passed away 29th January 2023, and it is very hard and has been very challenging and is challenging, but yes, I have started again in my life with 2 dog's and 2 cats as well, I wish you both well and back on your feet again xx
Good job folks. Glad to see your fine and well. Love from Canada. My grandfather Back in the 1930s was working in one of the mines up here in northern ontario. He decided to build a house once he was working, He bought some property from his father. And He and my Grandmother Lived in a ww1 canvas army tent . During the summer and winter while the home was being built. -45 below Celcuis is no joke in a tent trying to love and provide for your wife. People were tough back then and people are tough Now. Your not alone, For sure. You will survive. Keep praying and smiling.
@@NOTHING-AT-ALL.💯 If I had a partner to go at it with I would!! I’m sick of paying outrageous prices to be covered…. Nothing left to enjoy the days off! Pitiful…
@@thesun-N-moon8885 honestly, very often do i entertain the idea of making myself homeless on purpose so my outgoings drastically decrease, then i might be able to buy a half acre somewhere, but alas…a man can dream 🤔
Tip! If you put the end of the rubber gas hoses in a cup of hot water for a min they will soften up slightly expand and allows you to slide the hose on no problem
I can’t believe how positive your being and even though your wife is dealing with depression , she sounds so happy and positive also. God has deffo got a plan for you guys and we can all see here that your very appreciative… I can see you guys travelling around in a huge RV home very soon … keep up the positivity and hope and obviously your videos because your definitely touching a lot of people and we wanna watch you!! I’m watching you from Spain and I’ll make sure I tell everyone to subscribe and watch your videos. This can really happen to anyone and you guys just prove that us humans can make the best out of any situations if we stick together and use positivity … sorry if this message doesn’t make sense😂 however I just came across your page and fallen in love with the vibes already .. looking forward to seeing your journey! ❤ I’m praying for you guys to go viral & be able to live an amazing live VERY SOON 🙏❤️ lots of love. Jess. Xxx
And the main thing also. You have each other! I hate to see anybody homeless sorry that you're going through hard times. I hope everything works out and more luck comes you're way! 🙏🏻✊🏻
Amazing positivity shown from you both in this video. Stay strong. Thoughts and prayers for you both and if we can help in anyway please ask. No one should experience homelessness
Millimetres, away from this situation, myself. I am at home with my parents with my misses, child. I pay my way. But too much of everyone stepping on eachothers feet to put it lightly. My mental health isn't fantastic with the dramas. Had numerous jobs, a wage that would still see my head bearly above water even if I rented. I'd be in serious trouble with the bills. Currently training to do a better paid job right now. I don't even wish to entertain rent prices in my area. My partner works, and I am headed towards my goal. I don't even wish to participate in this rip-off, scam society anymore. I'd exploit every loophole I can. Thank you for this insight 😉
Yours and mine story is absolutely the same, my friend, right from your first paragraph! I didn't want to go into specifics, but our situation ended badly, to the point that no amount of time passed would repair what had been broken. Hope you get your job, my friend, and good luck for the future.
As long as you stick together and to a plan ,keep pushing forward there's always a way brother ,I've been homeless a few times ,dig in chin up and keep busy, I feel your pain ,always do the next thing ,.I know it's daunting and will test you both. I know things will be ok, brother. I have faith in you, mate ,praying for you both 🙏 🤲. Stay strong bro. 💪 Lee
Homeless on the streets myself at the moment for the first time 46 years old born in Scotland, worked my entire life till I couldn't 2 years ago due to disability, now on the streets, haven't seen my daughter in 6 months, lost all my friends , it's tuff buddy keep your chin up mate keep the pride , your an inspiration to me
I hope you find a way out soon, buddy. No one should find themselves in this situation, this day in age and at this time of year as well. All the best.
It's a terrible state of affairs we live in a supposed first world country and so many find themselves in this unfortunate position , I'm from Australia and things aren't any better , all the best to you and your wife
Hope you get something sorted soon, mind you look pretty sorted there. that site fee baffles me as that's more than the rent on a 3 bed house here . stay safe both 👍
I really wish you all the best 🙏. When you said about friends not being much help that really stood out... After a while of being scared shitless and really cold.. an old friend allowed me to stay on the floor for a few months before "housing" got me into temp accommodation! Was there for 8 months.. total length was just over a year.. Crazy how much you'll miss the things that become a norm.. being able to keep things fresh missed my kettle and fridge something rotten.. Ill forever be grateful.. its a long process but it'll happen. its only up from here ❤️🙏. Oh an ill never eat a pot noodle ever again.. lived on them for way to long lost an unhealthy amount of weight and a drug problem 🤢😢. Be glad you have each otther ❤️. I found god 😂❤
I understand how hard this will be for you both having been homeless for just under 3 yrs and finally got my one bedroom home in November last year.....I pray you stay strong and get your wee home very soon 🙏
Couple of tips. Don't use ptfe tape on a gas regulator, they seal using a rubber o ring. When fitting the pipe on use a small amount of washing up liquid rubbed on the metal parts and heat the pipe ends in hot water. Makes it lots easier, and make sure they are fully on. Then make up a gently stired washing up liquid and water mix to spread around the connetors and look for bubbles. No bubbles no gas leaks.
Viennese Whirls! My favourite!!! Your situation reminds me of the stories from my grandparents' youth during the worldwide "great depression" of 1929 onwards. Folk lost everything in that. The well-off backstabbing social climbers who'd previously looked down on folk were snubbed when they ended up on skid row, but folk rallied round folks like yourselves. Working families are under the cosh these days through no fault of their own. It's tough but inspiring to see you making the best of it. It takes a bit of mental adjustment and outlook to accept things as they are now. A sense of humour goes a long way to help. All the best.
Your video was recommended to me by RUclips . The title intrigued me . I’m sorry you’ve found yourselves in the situation you are in at the min . It’s so good to see you’re keeping positive and pls keep doing so .. I’m not going to go on and on but I just want to share a quick story with you , I lost my partner 4 years ago now he was only 47 and one day he was with me planning our future in the blink of a eye he was gone no warning no time for good bye . I’ve often thought I’d give up everything and live in a bus shelter just to have him back by my side.. You have each other and in my world that’s worth more than anything money could ever buy . Much love to you both and stay positive ❤️
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. That must have been tragic. You are right. We have each other, and that's all that matters at the end of the day. Everything else is just gravy. Thank you.
Greetings from Ireland Ste , I’ve been in your situation and can empathise with you and your partner 👥 You have shown great courage and resilience to your situation. All your skills in survival are crucial and in many ways will get you through this tough time. I’ve no doubt you will come back stronger and wish you the best of luck 🍀 💪✊👊
Weirdly, im jealous , I'm stuck in a different rut completely. I'd love to enjoy the simplicity & escape the shite. Don't be embarrassed by sharing real life. May the road rise up to meet you!
I am so sorry for your situation I have subscribed to the channel . This is why camping is a good skill to learn in circumstances especially like this i hope its not too long before you get rehoused I will be watching.
Shocking to see how you and your beautiful partner are having to live especially with what’s going on these past few days/weeks :( I won’t get started on the whole politic side of things as I’d never stop. Looks like you’ve got a safe place for now but make sure you get on to the housing daily as they’ll forget you no problem if you let them
My friend no need to feel embarrassed at all. I'm also in a similar situation. . .we live in very hard times. I feel the warmth of God and my passed loved ones watching over me which gives me great strength. It also helps having a supportive family. I'll say a prayer for you and your family 😊✝️
To avoid a gas accident , lube connections with Vaseline , and slip them all the way on , making sure your o clips, are on both connections and done up tight . 👍Set up a tarp over your tent and cooking area , for when it rains . A dry tent is more comfortable to live in .
Ste , on your camping gaz stove . You screwed on the pipe onto the hitching point . A way i found to get that pipe on is to spit onto the connection . I spotted the lack of jublee clip on the stove side . You dont want that end popping off . Although unlikely , they do pop off if they get warm , then you have a gas jet spraying around at worst . A tip for the midges , i got some inscense sticks that work a treat . Btw mrs ste is doing a great job ❤️❤️
I live on my live-aboard bugout survival pod sailboat that can stay out at sea self-sufficient for up to 10 years. My yearly cost of living is down to $3500 including everything even starlink. I bought the boat for $3000, rebuilt it for $5000 now I don't have to work.
🔥 This is real survival! This is the most likely emergency preparedness scenario that the working class family is likely to experience. Put it this way mate, you’re ahead of the curve. Due to a similar experience, I’ve been living outdoors full time since 2019. It does get better, improvise, adapt, and overcome. Great videos mucker, keep sharing your experiences, as many people are suffering similar circumstances, and will benefit. Immensely from seeing your content. Don’t be embarrassed brother, it happens to the best of us. Stay strong. Bless you both. 🙏🏻
Congratulations on your awesome attitude guys, I can INNERstand how it feels as I, in New Zealand, have been living in a van for the past 8 years now. At 71 years of age, I didn't envisage lying on my back to put my trousers on....🤣😂 I have adapted well, & have a "sort of" plan to move around the country on a seasonal basis, to stay warm. I truly & sincerely hope things improve dramatically for you, best wishes for a beautiful future... Mike.
Best of luck to you both and I hope you get sorted... (fellow Tamesidion)... I think I know the site you are on, lovely area... stay safe both of you, now subbed....
@@ColinSlocombe cheaper than some rents/mortgages these days tho. We live in a tent full time, not because of homelessness.. But because the system screws all who are in it, and I'd rather live free, with backpacks and choice of anywhere (within reason) to stay where and when we like. 👍🏼👌🏼
Didnt get to write a proper message . I dont know your circumstances, all i know is that you will endeavor the rough with the smooth . Eventually things will improve . Im a bit envious in a silly way . Heres to the support we can provide as a community. We are here for you guys .
Ste, I'm so sorry you're going through this. As you say, everyone goes through their challenges, and life has definitely taught me that the pendulum of fate always ends up swinging the other direction. You've got a good setup - and the attitude, capabilities and spirit - to make it through. Thank you for sharing! You are appreciated.
next time your fitting new hoses,put a bit of washing up liquid on the brass,it will help by lubing it.also,literally just before you realized you were fitting the new valve to the bottle,i was sitting here saying"your going the wrong way" lol.... oh i subscribed aswell pal 😉
I live in the rocky mountain backcountry USA, with just a back pack, 10 months each year, spent more nights under the stars than in a house..I am 60 years old now, spent most of my life outdoors, love my lifestyle, interesting to see how people all over the world live outside. Seems like luxury what you all are doing...I mostly have to hunt and fish and use plants.....amazing to me how perspective plays a role....the more one knows, the less gear one needs....here in the USA people are amazed when someone spends 3 days in the "wilderness", I am amazed when I have to spend 3 days in the towns,,,love the UK people, just not enough "wild" places for me, remember....one is not defined by one circumstances..... always follow your heart
You're both gonna come out the other end of this and be grateful for the experience. You've got each other, you've got the plan, so hang in there, stick to it and stay on budget! I wish you the very best, I especially realize just how lucky I am in my current situation after watching, which being homeless myself would be the only only other option so thank you for sharing your experience and humbling us. I'm glad you had people come through for you, I really am.
Ste, if you can remember where I live when I saw you when you were working, you are welcome to come and help yourself to what I have. Are you at Jacks place/ Royal George ? You are welcome to borrow a frontier stove or my Jackery, etc to keep your small electrics going. What ever you need. Our Washing machine, etc is available for you to use.
Sounds like a friend indeed
That is incredibly kind of you ❤

Definitely NOT the only one enduring this. I will say I honestly believe that when the economy starts growing and housing becomes affordable again we will see people who truly don’t want to get back into a big headache of being overburdened with bills! This lifestyle will continue on for many. It may be a little harder to survive but less the stress of being on a clock and killing your self with hours on in at a job that really doesn’t care about us. A warm dry place to rest at night with a hot meal is all we need. Imagine taking that saved money and enjoying life!!!!!! You got this I promise….. good luck to all who are experiencing this. Turn it into a positive lesson…… 💪🏽💯

It took me a year of street homeless to get a flat although I wouldn't give up my dog..well 3 years including hostels..I'm 60 you have more chance of platting fog... Bristol
nothing embarrassing about a man and woman providing for their family very competently from what i can see. all the best x
Thank you so much for this kind support!
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors well earned from one video, my man!
@@sophies9274 Thanks 😊
Absolutely agree. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
100%
Know exactly what your goin thru pal...
Me and my misses lost it all...down to my ill health...and couldnt work for years.
We ended up living in a tent
..then an old tourer....then we saved hard and ended up in an old static on a lovely site.
Then the site had new management...and we got kicked off !!
So here we are again....no home..misses just lost her job
..no income...no benefits...!
But we will get thru...we will survive...😊
We will rise up again...
As long as you have shelter, food, love and a good relationship...you will survive.
Just take care of your mental health...because thats where it hits hard.
Love an respect to you an your misses...
😊
It's hard for me to believe this situation in the UK. Unless you're dealing with severe issues like addiction and refusing help, there is plenty of support available, especially for those who are ill. I've personally experienced sudden unemployment and the inability to pay rent, but within a week of contacting Universal Credit, I received an interest-free loan that covered my rent for the month. Within a month, I got my first Universal Credit payment, which gave me enough time to find work without needing to move or look for another place to live.
In England, there's so much assistance available that it's hard to imagine ending up on the streets. Frankly, it makes no sense to me. Additionally, what this person is doing doesn't add up either. They claim to have jobs but are now homeless-that just doesn’t make sense. I suspect they are leaving out key details that would explain their situation.
May God bless you and answer your prayers
@@puzzlemagnet1957it’s the cost of everything. People are struggling to make ends meet.
Quite simply...your wrong. I work in the frontline of healthcare AND lost everything last year. And i was very much left to it. Your ideas and beliefs about the system are out of date...since the tories came in in 2010 swinging cuts and profiteering off properties have left many ordinary folk in s*** street @puzzlemagnet1957
Sending love ❤️
£616 for a bit of grass and leccie seems very steep to me
very very steep
Can rent a house in county Durham area for less than that ..
It's the going rate for this time of year. And it's a really good site. Clean and the owner is very helpful. And beautiful views.
@@TreeRatChaser I was thinking the same!
high season prices
And it's not embarrassing at all.iv been there. Homeless living in a tent in a bloody grave yard. Power to you both 👏
Bloody hell, I bet you have some tales to tell! Thanks buddy, glad you are sorted now.
During the last recession we became houseless. But never homeless, we had our camper and it was tight for a family of four. We actually became happier with time because we were so grateful for what we had.
Brilliant 👏 thanks amazing that it brought you all closer.
Id love to live in a camper van but id be worried if it got nicked iv lost my house, possessions and car all in one.
In the next 2yrs everyone will get to live in a tent, Mate you and your partner are legends, much respect
Thank you sir.
FOR EVERYONE: one way to support this channel is to allow the commercials to run all the way through while you watch the video, this is the way Ste Outdoors can get paid any money. If you skip the commercials, then they don't get money...if you watch at least 30 seconds they get a tiny bit but if you allow the commercial to play all the way through then they get more money. A sneaky way to do this easily and benefits both you and the channel is to start the video and let everything run...turn off the sound. Open a 2nd tab and go into RUclips again, watch the video and skip the commercials like you normally do...so you'd have two tabs open on YT both running the same video, one you leave to run all the way and the 2nd you use to skip commercials.
Thank you for your amazing support. We appreciate it.
In all my Seventy years, I have never seen the country in such a mess. Successive governments have neglected and failed the people of this country and I really feel for your generation, however, I suspect things are coming to a head within the next few months, and there will be a drastic change for the better very soon. I'm glad you have each other to lean on in these tough times, and wish you both the very best. Stay strong and stay positive, and your luck should change.
i hope you are right but i did hear whispers of even more energy hikes

My kid didn't know I was homeless for near a year. I only saw her once a fortnight so we went "camping" then. Best nights of my life cos I knew how to camp. Brilliant episode dude
Thank you, that's a great story. Take care.
You’re just houseless not homeless brother. Respect to you and yours. From Cardiff
Cheers buddy 👍
That's so true, because as the saying goes _'Home is where the Heart is'_ !
4:48 Do NOT be embarrassed about this, we're all just one or two incidents away from homelessness. Solidarity and Strength to you.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
I'm 58 and due to bereavement, have had to sell up, couldn't afford all the bill's, not eligible for benefits, so am now sofa surfing, have bought a tent, but hate to pay the utter rip off site fees, asked for these days, non electric pitch should cost around £4 a night, but of course the country has been set up to suck people dry, for company profits and shares , lucky I've got good friends, and am looking at alternatives, like van life, time will tell, good luck to all in the same situation, stay positive 👍
Thank God for friends they are invaluable. Hope you get sorted.
Which part of the country are you based. I am a widowed pensioner and live alone...I'm looking to decorate next year and start some sort of a small commune so live will be less stressful. Obviously we need to be on the same wavelength so to speak.
@@martynbutterfield7382 I live in Stockport?
Van life would be better. So many youtubers are doing this. I would also love to do this. 🎉
BEEN IN THE SAME PLACE MY SON AND MYSELF 60 YR OLD LADY WERE HOMELESS FOR 4 YEARS, AM FROM SOUTH AFRICA AND BELIEVE ME YOU HAVE IT BETTER THAN WE DO IN OUR COUNTRY THEY DO NOTHING TO HELP THE HOMLESS, BUT WE MADE IT THROUGH HARD WORK AND DETERMINNATION, NOT THAT WE ARE INA MASION OR ANYTHING, BUT KEEP YOUR SPIRTS UP AND TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME. I WISH YOU EVERYTHING OF THE BEST AND I HEAR YOU WHEN YOU SAID THE ONES YOU THOUGHT WOULD HELP DONT , BUT BELIEVE ME HELP WILL COME FROM THOSE YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.
Thank you so much! This was nice to read. Thank you.
Your video just popped up and Im watching now from Australia.
Its the same here mate.. No one can afford to live.. 1 in 4 Aussies are worried about becoming homeless & the rate of homelessness already here has never been seen like it is now..
Its every western country it seems..
Ive just subbed to your channel.. I really hope you & your Mrs are ok moving forward.
Australia being in the south yeah? 😂
Adversity will only make you stronger. Stay positive, Ste. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Times are tough right now.
Yes I agree. We are getting stronger by the day. Thank you for your support.
@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors
6 ton a month seems extortionate .
It would make more sense to wild camp free.
Never owned an iron myself ...
I spent 2 years purposefully homeless while I saved up for my motorhome .
But I lived in my volvo estate as opposed to a tent .
( had a tent also for drinking beer in )😂
I parked in a 24 hr gym car park so I could use the showers ,bogs etc.etc.etc..
And also charge my power banks up . And use their WiFi..
Don't hold your breath on the council house idea , could easily be 5 years.
I like your tent ..
Keep looking up. Sending positive thoughts and prayers to you and yours. It's not easy; Hard times make us stronger.
Why embarrassed. He's doing well. I'd rather be there where he is than my house but only thing is I couldn't get up from the ground as I get bad cramp. Houses can be a disaster and a trial for a few reasons.
@@earnold1896 He mentioned that. I was basically saying the same thing you are.
You have a home, it's just made of a different material than most homes. And it's FINE for the time being. You'll look back in a few years and this will all seem a big adventure!
I totally agree, and nomads still live like this today it's just an alternative style of living. ......for me and you. We are a special breed 😄 my Mrs on the other hand needs home comforts like windows and a letter box haha
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors now you can take it, give it some years and you will age fast..
that lifestyle is not healthy, and so is the equitment used either
unhealthy eating and heating that effects your health, bad sleep and so on is not stuff that keeps you young
i have lived in a 50 year old alternative community with over 1000 people, and it was not a place many people got old.
Glad to hear you and your missus have a strong connection and maintaining a unified front. A lot of people today would have likely bailed on their partner when times get rough, so it speaks volumes to the character, heart and dedication you two have for each other and is so wonderful to see ❤.
The world seems to be going even more sideways with each passing day and it is unfortunate to see good people like you two cast into that kind of situation. Your bushcraft training will prove invaluable for sure and this will be a true testament to the wealth of knowledge you have been and will continue to give us all.
Stay strong brother ❤👊.
Thanks, Ste m8, for your kind words. Take it easy.
I loved reading that. You have a good heart❤
God bless you
@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors my doctors helped my girl it was doctors letter to them that they moved her quick she suffers bad with mental health..
Very nice setup. My wife, I and our two teenage boys ended up homeless back in 2012. The 2008 crash spiraled us down until - like thousands of people in the US; we ended up homeless. We finally rented a RV spot in the woods on someones property and spent the winter in summer tents in Oregon. The next summer we purchased a Tipi and the following winter was much better and warmer. We all took it as a challenge to survive and prayed allot that God would help us - and He did! Your skills will definitely help, and what you learn now can be used to help others learn to survive when they become homeless too.... Unless things change for the better in this world - many more people will become homeless here in the future. God Bless you both and keep you safe, warm, and well fed!
I'm sorry to heat that you and your family have had some tough times. I'm sure some of it was fun too. Yeah I love the outdoors it's my happy place. I wish you and your family well wishes.
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors 👍
I am looking for a good family to live in a house and help my son and I. We help each other. We have a small farm. Looking for help to help.
I was homeless and living on the street for 4 years, i now own a house and my own business. Life throws you curveballs you just have to handle them correctly. As Winston Chruchill once said and its something i've always lived by "If you're going through Hell, keep going!"
You'll get there.
i HOPE SO

Thank you. Your words are encouraging. Take care.
We are full time tent Nomads in the uk 🇬🇧 and we loves it matey, don't be too down. "living like animals" laughed at that. We can't carry tables and such, but we're on foot with backpacks tho. Tough times ahead, stay safe cully. 👍🏼

This is a true video about the reality of life in the UK for many people. I actually started learning camping because I expect to be homeless in the near future, so I'm preparing myself.
Good move 👏 👌
Good on you. Stay in your power and expect the unexpected. In fact embrace change, because that is what our life is, constant change.
Been on the edge of homelessness for the last 6 months, it’s been a struggle since Yellow Freight filed bankruptcy last July. The circumstances I’m under now are why I haven’t posted videos this year. I’m sorry to hear you and yours are going through something similar. Stay strong Ste!
I'm so sorry to hear this. We wish you all the very best and really hope you come out of this horrible situation very soon. We have everything crossed for you. Stay strong.
Very sorry to hear your troubles buddy,glad to see you and your mrs staying strong. I woke up one day was so stressed with mortgage payments and the cost off everything I did this by choice. Turned out to be a 12 year adventure ended up in france then in Spain camping campsite fees are ridiculously cheaper. Plus great weather made so many friends from all over Europe. I now live in Cornwall in a one bedroom apartment but to be honest I am wild camping as much as I am in my apartment love being in nature.STAY STRONG GUYS 👍
Wow, that sounds amazing. I could live like this forever. But I'm not sure the missus could 🤔. I bet you have some amazing stories to yo tell. Thank you for your support.
I lost my house a year ago and currently in a caravan on a farm touching a year wouldn’t change it ever me the 2 cats and freedom keep your head up there’s more to life than being a sheep
I have been your situation for 3 years, just keep your head high. Nothing to be embarrassed about. It is tough at the moment but all will work out for the best. Keep believing and keep your head high.
I hope your situation ends soon! That's horrible! Thank-you for your support.
Homelessness is a great problem worldwide...I'm close to it myself. I have been looking into tent living. Thank you for this video and may God bless you and your family ❤
Disfusting that good people are made homeless!! Australia is crumbling too. My sincere prayers you have the strength to endure until your circumstances change. May your lovely partner keep strong. You seem a courageous man and I know youll make it together.
Thank you so much!
Yep meanwhile the Illegals will soon get housed in the UK under Sharia Starmer , not good.
Brother, I hate to hear that about you and your sweet missus. I pray that y'all will get what you need and be where you wanna be. Stay positive and know that y'all are in my prayers 🙏
Thank you my awesome friend this means alot pal. Sorry for the late reply.
Please don’t be embarrassed - life is precarious these days and I can relate - single mama with three kids. It’ll happen and you’ll get a place. Well done for making the most of the experience. Just need to look at life a bit differently, tent, van, boat - not sure a 25 yr mortgage is particularly appealing these days. Stay positive!
Absolutely 💯 what you said it's a shock to the system, but alternative living Is an essential consideration these days. Even if I could afford to buy a house I wouldn't want to be obligated to pay a £300k mortgage for the rest of my life! Especially at 44 years old! Hope you are well and stay safe.
Sorry to hear about your situation, Ste. Hope all works out. At least you have a nice big warm cozy tent and necessities. Best of luck to you and the Mrs. I'll keep you in my prayers.
Thanks Geof this means a lot. Take it easy.
Don’t be embarrassed mate, I’m currently at my local library in a tent, same sort of situation, I’m in band C currently, been homeless for 6 months and been in the tent at the library for nearly 7 weeks now, still waiting for space to be cleared in social housing whilst I’m currently placing bids on council property’s, I only need a 1 bed myself. Some days are worse than others I agree but we’ve all gotta keep our heads and hopes high, I hope your situation gets rectified asap the same as mine! Great content like usual bud, keep up the hard work and graft, all the best to you and your partner buddy. Your channel has given me the motivation to keep pushing on. Wishing everyone in the same situation all the best! Cheers 👌🏻
M8! That's a bit crap! Are you working? Are you actually in the building at least? I really do hope things improve for you soon! Have they not offered you temporary accommodation?
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors I’ve gotten a lucky break as I have a public toilet near me, the library is open fairly often so I can charge my power bank, got a couple local shops and a chemist nearby, sadly not working at the moment as I don’t have my own transport to get to various nearby work places, plus my setup is extremely basic at the moment, I’ve not been offered any social housing or emergency housing as of yet, I’m hopefully as had some type of trust organisation come out and verify me as rough sleeping, she’s helped me out massively bless her, been helping with food and all sorts really, she’s the one that’s been pushing to try to get me in somewhere even if it’s just temporary for now, basically she’s an angel in my eyes! I’m hopeful something will be sorted soon myself, just got to keep pushing, can’t deny it my mental health is completely shot and I do have to take medication 3 times daily for it, some days ain’t to bad but others are worse, I’ve just decided to be completely open about it all, atleast others out there going through the same situation know they ain’t the only ones. We all just got to hold on and keep up the good fight 💪🏻
As I mentioned in my video, there's 8000 homeless ex forces, let alone the other people you mentioned too mate. Again, stay safe, positive vibes your way.
Hey man fully appreciate your honesty and transparency!!! I was just laid off our company went under after 70yrs they couldn't afford to be open anymore... continue doing what is essential and what you need but most importantly be thankful and happy&healthy strong&safe brotha✊️🔥✌️💚
I'm so sorry to hear that, bud. I hope your situation improves. It seems to be a crisis that is spreading all over the world. Take it easy.

Millimetres, away from this situation, myself. I am at home with my parents with my misses, child. I pay my way. But too much of everyone stepping on eachothers feet to put it lightly. My mental health isn't fantastic with the dramas. Had numerous jobs, a wage that would still see my head bearly above water even if I rented. I'd be in serious trouble with the bills. Currently training to do a better paid job right now. I don't even wish to entertain rent prices in my area. My partner works, and I am headed towards my goal. I don't even wish to participate in this rip-off, scam society anymore. I'd exploit every loophole I can. Thank you for this insight 😉
Yours and mine story is absolutely the same, my friend, right from your first paragraph! I didn't want to go into specifics, but our situation ended badly, to the point that no amount of time passed would repair what had been broken. Hope you get your job, my friend, and good luck for the future.
As long as you stick together and to a plan ,keep pushing forward there's always a way brother ,I've been homeless a few times ,dig in chin up and keep busy, I feel your pain ,always do the next thing ,.I know it's daunting and will test you both.

I really wish you all the best 🙏. When you said about friends not being much help that really stood out... After a while of being scared shitless and really cold.. an old friend allowed me to stay on the floor for a few months before "housing" got me into temp accommodation! Was there for 8 months.. total length was just over a year.. Crazy how much you'll miss the things that become a norm.. being able to keep things fresh missed my kettle and fridge something rotten.. Ill forever be grateful.. its a long process but it'll happen. its only up from here ❤️🙏. Oh an ill never eat a pot noodle ever again.. lived on them for way to long lost an unhealthy amount of weight and a drug problem 🤢😢. Be glad you have each otther ❤️. I found god 😂❤

Couple of tips.
Don't use ptfe tape on a gas regulator, they seal using a rubber o ring.
When fitting the pipe on use a small amount of washing up liquid rubbed on the metal parts and heat the pipe ends in hot water. Makes it lots easier, and make sure they are fully on.
Then make up a gently stired washing up liquid and water mix to spread around the connetors and look for bubbles. No bubbles no gas leaks.
You are doing what you can mate, dont be embarrassed keep your chins up
Thank you. Your support is what helps.
Viennese Whirls! My favourite!!! Your situation reminds me of the stories from my grandparents' youth during the worldwide "great depression" of 1929 onwards. Folk lost everything in that. The well-off backstabbing social climbers who'd previously looked down on folk were snubbed when they ended up on skid row, but folk rallied round folks like yourselves. Working families are under the cosh these days through no fault of their own. It's tough but inspiring to see you making the best of it. It takes a bit of mental adjustment and outlook to accept things as they are now. A sense of humour goes a long way to help. All the best.
Brilliant story and very satisfying. Thank you.
Your video was recommended to me by RUclips . The title intrigued me .
I’m sorry you’ve found yourselves in the situation you are in at the min . It’s so good to see you’re keeping positive and pls keep doing so ..
I’m not going to go on and on but I just want to share a quick story with you ,
I lost my partner 4 years ago now he was only 47 and one day he was with me planning our future in the blink of a eye he was gone no warning no time for good bye . I’ve often thought I’d give up everything and live in a bus shelter just to have him back by my side..
You have each other and in my world that’s worth more than anything money could ever buy . Much love to you both and stay positive ❤️
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. That must have been tragic. You are right. We have each other, and that's all that matters at the end of the day. Everything else is just gravy. Thank you.

Weirdly, im jealous , I'm stuck in a different rut completely. I'd love to enjoy the simplicity & escape the shite. Don't be embarrassed by sharing real life.
May the road rise up to meet you!
I am so sorry for your situation I have subscribed to the channel . This is why camping is a good skill to learn in circumstances especially like this i hope its not too long before you get rehoused I will be watching.
Thank you for your kind support.

Thank you. We are doing good. We are feeling positive with all this support around us. Means the world. Thank you once again.
Shocking to see how you and your beautiful partner are having to live especially with what’s going on these past few days/weeks :( I won’t get started on the whole politic side of things as I’d never stop. Looks like you’ve got a safe place for now but make sure you get on to the housing daily as they’ll forget you no problem if you let them
The hidden homeless of Britain. You don’t realise it until you nearly or actually end up joining them.
Good luck to you, you’re amazing.
Thank you for the kind comment.
My friend no need to feel embarrassed at all. I'm also in a similar situation. . .we live in very hard times. I feel the warmth of God and my passed loved ones watching over me which gives me great strength. It also helps having a supportive family. I'll say a prayer for you and your family 😊✝️
Thank you.
Thanks
Thank you very much, you awesome gent.
To avoid a gas accident , lube connections with Vaseline , and slip them all the way on , making sure your o clips, are on both connections and done up tight . 👍Set up a tarp over your tent and cooking area , for when it rains . A dry tent is more comfortable to live in .
Ste , on your camping gaz stove . You screwed on the pipe onto the hitching point .
A way i found to get that pipe on is to spit onto the connection . I spotted the lack of jublee clip on the stove side .
You dont want that end popping off . Although unlikely , they do pop off if they get warm , then you have a gas jet spraying around at worst .
A tip for the midges , i got some inscense sticks that work a treat .
Btw mrs ste is doing a great job ❤️❤️
But they make great toast ❤️
I live on my live-aboard bugout survival pod sailboat that can stay out at sea self-sufficient for up to 10 years. My yearly cost of living is down to $3500 including everything even starlink. I bought the boat for $3000, rebuilt it for $5000 now I don't have to work.
🔥 This is real survival! This is the most likely emergency preparedness scenario that the working class family is likely to experience. Put it this way mate, you’re ahead of the curve. Due to a similar experience, I’ve been living outdoors full time since 2019. It does get better, improvise, adapt, and overcome. Great videos mucker, keep sharing your experiences, as many people are suffering similar circumstances, and will benefit. Immensely from seeing your content. Don’t be embarrassed brother, it happens to the best of us. Stay strong. Bless you both. 🙏🏻
Thank you very much for your awesome words of encouragement, my awesome man. They are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Congratulations on your awesome attitude guys, I can INNERstand how it feels as I, in New Zealand, have been living in a van for the past 8 years now. At 71 years of age, I didn't envisage lying on my back to put my trousers on....🤣😂 I have adapted well, & have a "sort of" plan to move around the country on a seasonal basis, to stay warm. I truly & sincerely hope things improve dramatically for you, best wishes for a beautiful future... Mike.
Thank you so much for this awesome comment. Have a great weekend. Take care.
Best of luck to you both and I hope you get sorted... (fellow Tamesidion)... I think I know the site you are on, lovely area... stay safe both of you, now subbed....
Respect🤜🏻🤛🏻 hope everything works out for you both, lad.
Thanks 😊
i hope your situation improves bro what a sin it can happen to anyone, what a beautiful set up tho for the time spent there
Thank you, we were very lucky to have it when we did. It's very true. People don't realise how easily it can happen.
£616 per month sounds very expensive just to camp on a farmer's field
It is.
@@ColinSlocombe cheaper than some rents/mortgages these days tho. We live in a tent full time, not because of homelessness.. But because the system screws all who are in it, and I'd rather live free, with backpacks and choice of anywhere (within reason) to stay where and when we like. 👍🏼👌🏼
Summer and school holidays drive up the price of campsites.
@@guzzisue But it's still at the camp owners discretion. They don't have to charge a couple without kids so much.
FARMERS FOR YOU AND I BET THE FARMER GETS A GRANT FOR NOT USING THAT PATCH OF GROUND
Didnt get to write a proper message . I dont know your circumstances, all i know is that you will endeavor the rough with the smooth . Eventually things will improve .
Im a bit envious in a silly way . Heres to the support we can provide as a community. We are here for you guys .
Ste, I'm so sorry you're going through this. As you say, everyone goes through their challenges, and life has definitely taught me that the pendulum of fate always ends up swinging the other direction. You've got a good setup - and the attitude, capabilities and spirit - to make it through. Thank you for sharing! You are appreciated.
Thank you very much for the awesome words. Take care.
£616 to live in a tent uk has gone down $hithole🤦
next time your fitting new hoses,put a bit of washing up liquid on the brass,it will help by lubing it.also,literally just before you realized you were fitting the new valve to the bottle,i was sitting here saying"your going the wrong way" lol.... oh i subscribed aswell pal 😉
I live in the rocky mountain backcountry USA, with just a back pack, 10 months each year, spent more nights under the stars than in a house..I am 60 years old now, spent most of my life outdoors, love my lifestyle, interesting to see how people all over the world live outside. Seems like luxury what you all are doing...I mostly have to hunt and fish and use plants.....amazing to me how perspective plays a role....the more one knows, the less gear one needs....here in the USA people are amazed when someone spends 3 days in the "wilderness", I am amazed when I have to spend 3 days in the towns,,,love the UK people, just not enough "wild" places for me, remember....one is not defined by one circumstances..... always follow your heart
you breathe :)
@@buffytoft3500seems you get it...awesome
You're both gonna come out the other end of this and be grateful for the experience. You've got each other, you've got the plan, so hang in there, stick to it and stay on budget! I wish you the very best, I especially realize just how lucky I am in my current situation after watching, which being homeless myself would be the only only other option so thank you for sharing your experience and humbling us. I'm glad you had people come through for you, I really am.
We are certainly blessed. Thank you for your kind comment.
Best of luck to you both, I really hope your luck turns and things get better real soon. Keep your spirits up 🤜👍
Thank you do much.
