    Brilliant Rosie!
    I love all your videos, I'm watching them all. You impress me in a myriad of different ways in each one. I truly admire you. You are tough, you are very adventurous, you are bold, yet you are very feminine. You are beautiful. Thank you, Rosie, for sharing your life, your intelligence and your adventures with us. I love it all. Makes me miss England and Europe.

    Truly amazing! My mother comes from England (we live in Australia) and has only been back once since she was 16..
    She’s now 70. It’s amazing to me how much open space there still is in England despite how populated it is and how small it’s size. Incredible channel!

    there is an invariable law of hiking which is that if you find the perfect spot for a tent it is too early.
    once you slept, in some second best spot, after hiking 10minutes you come across a much better one.

    Wonderfully edited, so peaceful. It made me really happy and inspired. Loved your Gear Advice post too, especially the rant about painkillers (finally someone who agrees). I found your website and your channel through a web search into toe socks, preparing for my first solo wild camping hike. I never imagined I'd be someone who'd research toe socks but I'm glad I did and ended up here. Thanks for everything you share with us!

    I'm in the USA and it's incredible how much South of England looks like the piedmont region of North Carolina. We also have wild black berries, oak forest and rolling hills with pastures. Come try out our Appalachian Trail it starts in Georgia USA and goes 2200 miles along the Appalachian Mountains all the way to Maine, USA as one continuous trail.

    Amazing photography and great video with the wild camping as it illegal what happens if you get caught or is that unlikely? I'm doing my research as im think of doing it this summer after this pandemic and how do u stop your feet hurting I've walked 20k today and I have so many blisters

    • @wildrosie
      @wildrosie  3 года назад +5

      Key is to make sure no-one can see you when you're set up - so hide from roads and farms, don't set up your tent until it's dark and be gone by daylight! When it comes to foot pain you may just have to build it up slowly, and hike quite a few shorter days until you get used to it. Also make sure your footwear is comfortable. If you're wearing boots, I'd personally advise getting trail runners instead! Happy trails!

  • @manuelakroft5716

    • @wildrosie
      @wildrosie  2 года назад +4

      I don't think it's entirely legal OR illegal, but it's sort of condoned by most people as long as no one sees you, essentially. Regarding the gear, I do have all those things but didn't have access to them. Since I was only going to be out there for a few days I figured I'd be okay slumming it a bit...!

    I guess you camp carrying everything in a car or small van because all of this is useless when you hike and camp carrying everything on your backpack. I am sorry but that was not much of a revelation, just using the utensils in a camping site instead of at home…
