- Good evening, my absolutely awesome friends and followers. I hope you are all well. So this is a quick update just to inform you fantastic folk of our current situation to date. I'm keeping it as short as possible as I appreciate and value your time. I will continue to update you in the future, but only with events of any relevance and importance. Thanks again massively for your continued support. It means the world.
#bushcraftuk #homeless #survival
The older I get the more I realise there are some utterly miserable and bitter people out there. And they're riled by positive proactive folk like yourself. They deserve to be ignored. And you and your lovely wife deserve every good fortune. Way back in the day, our society was built by grafters and resilient folk like yourself. When the chips are down, that's when you see people's true worth, and you're a survivor mate.
You posting that has actually helped me, I thought it was just me! I just sometimes notice random people giving me filthy looks, and actually sometimes just tut as they pass me in the street. I live in London and there are a lot of bitter horrible people here.
@@simonh6371 That's it mate. Never base your wellbeing on seeking the approval of strangers.
I just found your channel. I’ve been homeless dozens of times through landlords troubles transfer( the first arrested and charged for drug offences and suspected her tenants dobbing 15:09 her in, so evicted the lot of us, the last sa- ing me, then verbally abusing me when I told him where to go, and a myriad in between committing financial abuse or selling up). I’ve been living off grid on my own land for 6 years now the council want me to tear down my home( converted farm barn) rendering it derelict, so my neighbours can enjoy the view of an eyesore and dangerous, make myself homeless yet again. I do not have a job or claim benefits, I live off the land and my produce. N ever mind me supplying the local timber yard and other companies when I was working ( laid off because my 3 year contract expired) Never lose hope my friend, this experience changes you, but in a good way. It makes you more resilient, self reliant, resourceful. The mental health is just a blip in the journey but you will recover and pull through. Safe travels pal!
Troubled times we live in indeed. I hope you are safe and well.
Block the trolls mate. These times we are in are hard enough as it is... Block em.
Great news about the van... see good people helping good people.
God Bless you and wifey! Stumbled across your channel on accident. I wanna send much love and prayers to ya'll from the US.
Thank you so much.
Ste with your wife having mental health illnesses ask her to get a full medical report from your GP which is free of charge send this to the housing and that will make your application higher needs and you can apply for 2 bed houses flats and bungalows with no age restrictions either. Also look into extra help with carers allowance as you are the main carert to your lovely lady and vice verser her to you xx Hope this helps xxxx
I'm so glad that everything went well in the end, but it's been a hard journey for you.❤
Thank you 😊 we made it in the end.
Focus on the things that are good and pure. Don't mind the people that just want to tear down. Glad to see you guys are holding up okay. 👍✌️
I know people don't ask ,but how are you both doing ,i can see you are trying to keep it together, if you need a chat even if it's to burn off some anger ,I'm here for you both ,only a message away brother .Lee
Don't listen to losers they are so sad nothing better to do you stay and your partner stay safe see you next time
Stay positive sir, and I’m sure things will change for the better very soon 👍🤞💪🏻
Good on you for putting your self out there to tell a hard story. I wish you all the best and hope your channel takes off.
Thank you Marcus.
JUST SHOWS YOU THAT THERE ARE SOME GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE STILL, BLESS THEM. AND YOU GUY'S, WILL KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED FOR YOU.
Thank. You so much.
Mate me and my Mrs were homeless 20 years ago after our landlord put our house up for sale. We had our daughter aged 2 and 2 elderly dogs and it was an utter nightmare. Fortunately we were offered a house at the last minute however the stress we were under was immense. I have total empathy for you both and all I can say is ignore the trolls. Just worry about you and your mrs and ignore the rest. I’m going to follow your story so good luck for the future.
I am so glad your story had a happy ending the dread and anxiety must have been off the chart! Thank you for your kindness we both appreciate it massively. Take care.
Hey mate i am glad u and ur wife are getging they @BushcraftWithSteOutdoors
Just found this channel and subbed, saw your future one b4 this lol ie the caravan, hope things work out for you and it’s lovely you have each other
Thanks so much!!
I feel like Scrappy Doo hearing about these negative comments "Let me at em, Let me at em👊" lol.
Comments like that will soon get their karma 🤷 I'll say no more, let it be a surprise.
Thank you very much for the offer of the hot tent Ste, we've spoken on Instagram since, so you already know my answer
🙈⬅️ Your viewers watching you cut them vegetables.
Choosing to live this kind of lifestyle isn't for everyone but it's the best decision I've made. Great to know others feel the same. Tony = Top man.
LiveFree live long & prosper 🖖
Hey Ste, sorry to hear about the current situation both yourself and your good lady are in. I wanted to reach out to say, that I am thinking about you both and hope you both get housed ASAP. It is awful to hear about bad things happening to good people. Keep fighting mate
Nice knife Ste! Keep your head up and keep pushing through!
I've jus subscribed, and working thru ya whole channel! I'm in homeless hostel atm and the waiting list for housing is hugh. luckily I'm working 3 days now, so plan is maybe a transit conversion. Bit by bit. Good luck and glad I've subbed
Thank you for the awesome support, my good man. That sounds like the way to go fella and more and more people are choosing the same life.
Great to see both yours and your missus resiliance/ strength. You are both an inspiration to those who struggle in life and showing how there is always a silver lining in everything that happens. Stay strong!
On another note that knife could make you a shelving unit or chopping board!! Real buschcraft knife😂😂😂
Cacking my pants watching your knifecraft, get yersen a 99p peeler dude, saves food and fingertips! Big up to Tony, you and 'the missus'
I just run into your Video and you have my biggest respect, what you are going through i know very well. I had a big loss many years ago and can`t afford to rent any appartment so i lived for 2,5 years in a sheperds hut on the land of a kind neighbour for free.(Now i live in the north of sweden in a little House on my own 24 acres of woodland) Talking about your situation will help to stay mentaly healthy. There are alway poeple who comment without knowing what you going through. Keep going and stay well.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you understand 😌 many just jump to conclusions. Thanks.
This experience will make you so resilient and resourceful, to anyone who becomes homeless, and it can happen to anyone, this is a brilliant example of keeping calm and carrying on, life is still good so long as you have your health, your love and your determination, mental health will suffer short term but you will overcome it and live to tell a new tale. Great support online for you.
Fantastic comment and awesome support. Thank you. 😊
Really love your positivity, my wife and I lived in a caravan for nearly ten years we did it through choice but waking up to the freedom of the countryside was wonderful, good luck to you both I’m sure you and your partner will love the caravan life and probably won’t want to return to town life.
Awesome! Here's hoping, buddy. Thank you. Take it easy.
Just came across your page. You sound very positive, stay this way. For me its a wonderful lifestyle, there are many people who like the back to nature living. Summer is a beautiful season, winter could be different however.
Ignore the trolls, they have cant see the bigger picture.
Watch your hands with that knife.
Thank you for watching. I have been playing with knives for over 20 years and I still have all of my 3 fingers 👉 👈 thanks for the support. Take care.
Your positive thinking is inspirational. I hope you both get blessed.
Thank you
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors thank you for sharing your story!! I can't help financially but I'll do the algorithm thing so maybe you guys get seen some more. Revenue and all that. Truly gutted for you but I believe in God and I truly believe that you will be blessed. As will the young lad. My son is only a couple years younger and that breaks my heart. Shame he hasn't got a channel. Stay safe you guys!! ✌
Ste, I am glad you are sharing your plight. No fault evictions are too rife in the UK and because you and your Lady are adults... I hope you don't have to hold your breath too long. So much I want to say on the subject! All the very best to you and Janine, take care.
Thank you for the kind words.
A new subscriber here Ste, I love your honesty and stoicism in this trying time. You clearly have some amazing subscribers who have yours and your wife's back, lovely to hear. You clearly have a good heart, and will make things work mate. All the best to you both x
Thank you for your kind words. They are uplifting. I truly am blessed by my community. We both thank you for your support. Take care.
Just been recommend your videos because I watch alot of bushcraft/camping videos.
Your positivity is amazing. I'm so happy you have good supporters and have received such an amazing gift. ❤ I wish u and ur missus all the best. U are both epic. I hope u get bk on ur feet ASAP. Ignore the negativity. Not worth the rent free space in your head
Amazing words of encouragement. Thank you.
Just found your videos. You have such a positive attitude and your tent is fabulous. You need a veg peeler. I wash carrotts, and cut them up. Hope the caravan is a success. Best wishes from Susa.n in East Yorkshire.
Your welcome you guys are an inspirational team true British resolve and a great couple love all ur vids new to the channel and thinks its great
😄 thank you so much, we are truly humbled. Take care.
Best of luck to your good lady ,and yourself 😊
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
Look forward to seeing the camper, Ste. Hope you and the Mrs. are staying positive. Take care and be safe.
When you're up off the ground, things have a tendency to feel better.....especially for the female folks! I'm hoping the transition to a camper goes smoothly. Seems like things are starting to look up for you guys. Awesome!! (Alberta, Canada)
Hey there so glad you have a caravan coming you and your partner will enjoy living in it a bit more comfort for you both bless you and take care ❤❤
Fingers and toes crossed! Thank you so much.
Thousands of people choose to live the way you're' living right now, or to live out of their vehicle traveling around the country. Some with children they homeschool. I understand there are those that have no choice. 🙏🥰
Wow, love this video! You are inspiring! We live in our cabin in the summer. We would live in it year around but cannot get to work in the winter because the road don't get snow clearing. No retirement in our near future because Canada is in the same boat as the UK. We wish you all the best and look forward to more videos.
Thank you so much, I can imagine living in a cabin in the Canadian forests! Wow that would be absolutely amazing.
Nice looking blade bud used to work with a one armed postman lol how he managed buggered if I know so glad you and your lovely lady are pushing through all the best to you both
Don't let the negative people get to you , your doing a great thing, I would rather live like you than keep paying bills that seem to get bigger and bigger but my pay doesn't change, keep your head up things will get better! And hello from flint, Michigan !!
It's calming but also infuriating that everyone seems to be in the same boat. We are In the exact situation as you regarding wages and basically just living to work! Something has to change! Thanks for you positive comment 👍
You will get there m8 cause of your positive attitude, sad state of affairs but good luck and God bless everything works out,the campervan will be superb
So good to hear you’ll be living in a caravan. Living in a tent is brave, and you seem to be doing fine, but maybe your wife would like the option of the caravan.🌸
Admire your honesty, resilience and positivity. Onwards and upwards. You deserve a break soon. All the best to both of you. Get yourself a little stove for the winter.
Thank you for your positive words. They really do help to uplift us. Take care.
Hi I'm new to you're channel, I do sympathise with you and you're misses situation, i would be the same I would happily live in a tent, but my misses would struggle, and forget about the negative comments, they don't know f, all, just stay positive, good luck to you both.
Thank you so much for the positive comment. It means alot.
It's a rough patch you are in mate. But it's good to see you are staying as resilient as possible. Good luck in for your future. Regards from Australia. Hope things get better for ya soon.
Thank you Sir.
👊🏻 Stay positive , I enjoy your videos and have purchased products you have recommended. Everything will workout. Read the bible for peace.👊🏻
Wishing you and your wife the best of luck! Billy from Kansas, USA.
Thank you very much from our hearts.
What a good man to give you a caravan.
Indeed we are very lucky to have such friends.
Mate im new to your channel i think your a great inspiration 👍 all the best budddy sending my best wishes to you and the missus ❤
Thank you so much for your support.
Ive said to someone else,negative comments are from jealous,bitter,unhappy people,its hard but positivity always outweighs negativity,Zara and I live in a beautiful garage ,we have a home and have lived here for 4 years,we are so happy and grateful,Zara is my beautiful dog,you make do with what you have,we have never been happier
You will be fine mate,as you say waking up grass under your feet lovely views. Once you move into your van you won’t want to get back into the rap race. Just think people go to work all week what do they want to do at weekends or holidays go camping. GREAT KNIFE BUDDY
As hard as it is I believe things happen for a reason being homeless is no fun I was homeless myself around 10 years ago due to landlord selling up I waited around 2 years to be offered a property from my local council. Some People are so quick to judge without knowing the facts. I wish you all the luck you will get there
Hi ste my wife and I love your channel we could be in the same boat as you soon since Lizz trus crashed economy our rent rose from £450 to £800 per month we both work but can't go on like this mate luckily no kids but we're both 60 all the very best
It can happen, for me, landlord sold out, found out from the new owner while I was at work before even got notice, had to find a place and that is how I came to live off grid, so it all worked out and am hopeful that it will for you both. Its sad how a few can be so negative, and twist things in other directions, heck sometimes they can turn a simple cookout into a bad thing, so don't worry about the few like you say, lots of us supporting you, glad to hear you are both holding up and hope the camper is on its way soon. Sending positives and take care
Lovely upbeat positive kind guy. Very calming to watch. Im sorry for the misfortunes the have befell you. Say hi to the Mrs. Take care
Thank you very much for your kind words. The Mrs says hi. Take care.
Good to hear from you ste , this government have things all wrong but we will get there in the end matey
Great news on caravan little steps you and partner doing so well and tks to Tony
You're wife is a hard strong wahine and once the caravan is dropped off she will be much more happier and I wish you both good luck on the housing and u both get housed quickly
Wishing you the very very best. Glad you have camping skills. But most important, great spirit and a loving relationship. 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words.
So happy you are moving into a caravan , she will be happy .
Maybe some pallets. Height may be an issue. Twice what you need per square meter. Donor pallets to fill it in so no gaps. A form of floor boards might help with cold if this goes on. Or do maybe buy 40mm beams lower profile. Perhaps make it so you can pack it up take it away to move if need be sections of a managable size
I'm loving your videos
You put a brave face on bless you . I can't imagine what it's like. Be careful with that knife lol just keep checking the housing situation. Not to often if you x check 2 often and you not moving up the ladder ur get down. But you know what your doing. Your both doing well . Please just take care of each other take care ❤❤
Thank you so much it means the world.
Good luck with your search. Everyone needs somewhere to live. I've been living in a bus (Toyota Coaster) for eleven years. I'll never go back to renting...it's fantastic.
I would love to do the same. Take it easy.
I live in a small town somewhat in the same boat as u. 😂 i take to heart that home is where you make it. Life moves on and all u can do is make the most of what you have and be greatful of what you can do❤❤
Very true
We all take things for granted until they're taken away, brother, the fear of losing control is most people's fear .and I can see you're both heroes for letting us into your personal parts we don't get to see ,stay positive and f the underpants keyboard warriors ,who just are denuses
I think you guys are an inspiration. Full support from me !!
Thank you very much sir.
I couldn't imagine what you are going through...I wish you sincerely that you move out of this situation soon. God bless you..❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Awesome news! You willl feel much better in a rv God bless !
Thank you so much. Means a lot.
glad things are improving for you both. nice to see the pass it on at the end 👍
Thank you 😊
YES!!! You got a camper!!! Perfect!!
Thank you 😊
Thats good news on the caravan, lost my house back in 2011 but lucky to get a rented flat, hope
you get better news on another property, take care.
Thank you very much. Glad you were homed. Take care.
I've just found your channel mate and I have subbed and liked your videos. You and your missus seem like a great couple and I'm sure things will work out for yous.
Thank you very much. We appreciate you very much.
I’m from Newcastle and a few years ago I ended up in a similar situation for about 1 year. I was pretty much living in my car and twice a week I was getting a travel lodge to clean up and get a proper nights sleep. I ended up in massive trouble at work cos I was starting to crack up. It took me a while but I eventually got myself back on my feet and I’m doing ok now. I hope u get everything sorted out soon, keep your chin up and don’t let it get to u like I did. I’ve got RUclips on my phone and tv so u just got another 2 subscribers.
On a positive just look at what u have got. U still have your misses, a decent car, a good size tent and just look at where u are! I would of loved to of been in the Pennines. I ended up with supermarket car parks most night.
I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you are in a better situation now. Thank you for your awesome support.
As a chef, I peeled veg with very sharp knives. As an old codger now, I use a good old Lancashire peeler and scissors. I like my fingers. I've had them a long time, and I'm attached to them. Boom, Tish!!! For your stew, add sausages for extra bulk, texture, and flavour. Boil them first if they're fatty and throw away the water, then add to your stew. Otherwise, it'll become "claggy" as it cools. Add some porridge, yes, really, and only a little amount of gravy granules. Chopped carrot, onion, and celery are a must-have, as is a bay leaf. 👍
New subscriber here after the logarithm showed me your channel. I’m sorry for your trouble Ste. The current Housing situation is as bad now as I’ve known in decades. Great that you have the promise of a caravan and it’s a real pleasure to see your positive attitude. Keep that up and keep talking to and loving your missus. This will pass.
Ignore the trolls. It’s just their opinion man. Stating an opinion doesn’t make it a fact.
Thank you very much for sharing your time with us. We really appreciate your words. Take care.
God bless you and yours. How kind for someone to give you a caravan
Absolutely 💯
Wishing you both the best of luck!! 🙏🏻 Cheers from Northern Spain.
Thank you very much.
I'm new here I'm so sorry to hear your situation I hope your Ms is coping OK. God bless you both 🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words she is coping. Thank you.
Unfortunately I believe there are some people who have simply been soured by life . I hope your situation will only be short term much respect for your strong attitude stay strong and if you have any wobbles know they are only temporary 💪🏻
Some people get given everything but are still horrible no matter what, it's just how they are and the world will always have them.
It's Yin and Yang, Good and Evil, Dark and Light.
Without the bad we wouldn't understand and appreciate the good.
Sadly it's a story as old as time itself.
Your doing well brother.what a awesome turn of events being gifted a caravan!I literally just watched your last 3 videos and subscribed!much love to you and your missus from new Zealand
Thank you so much for your awesome comment and support, buddy. Take care.
Sending all my best wishes to you and your wife x
Thank you very much.
Shame on that person or persons who can sleep at night knowing they might have made your life that little bit harder. I know a negative comment can play on a person's mind I just hope you don't let that idiot get to you too much. On a more positive note, the majority of people are willing to help, this is the first video I have seen of yours and will be subscribing straight after finishing this message. I hope you and you missus can get back into suitable accommodation in the near future. Good luck
Thank you very much for your kind comment and support. It means a lot. Take care.
When you see a good'n you know ! You dont need to explain about the trolls mate. ..We're all here to support you... You're not alone ! 🕊🕊
Thanks, Tim. we are content knowing the power of awesome friends. Thanks for dropping by, bud. Take it easy.
Dont, explain yourself, pal. Your doin well keeping positive
Thanks buddy I appreciate your understanding. Thanks for the support. Take it easy.
It's neat to see everyone come together. I'm happy someone offered the caravan and is making that happen for you and the Mrs! We hope the best for you both. Let us know how we can help and thank you for keeping us posted. Take care Sir.
You, sir, are a diamond 💎 thank you so much for just being you, m8. We will chat soon.
I wish you the best of luck, and stay positive.
Cheers pal.
I just found your channel
You should get a Bluetti power thingy, I see others that use this brand and it gets very good reviews?!?! Just a suggestion, I just started watching your videos yesterday(Wed) so looking forward to seeing more!!!!
Steve I hope you and your partner are in the highest band on the housing list, because she suffers with depression and this cannot be ignored! I’m here if you need any support😊 And excuse me did I hear you say that someone had a pop at you for pay £600 rent on a campsite and for having alcohol! Oh my days, have people nothing better else to do than judge people who are already down on their luck 😢
Thank you very much for your support.
I’d take a good quality canvas tent over a caravan any day. You’ve got a great setup.
Thank you it's looking after us 😉
I’m praying that you and your partner can hopefully get housing as soon as possible. Please stay strong. And positive for each other. 😊😊
Keep going the tides will turn 💙💙
Thank you.
If you get through you two u will get through anything
Thank you.
Been thinking about you both. It was raining today where I live. What a terrible system we have for British people.
Thank you for your thoughts. It was raining with strong winds last night but the canvas took it and looked after us thankfully. Take care.
I'm homeless iv been living in a polomy locomotive 3 with a small winnerwell stove since last week in May and I'm about to upgrade for winter to a 4m kokoon bell tent with a large woodman stove ..should be comfortable enough for me and my cat. Can't stand negative people and negative comments its hard enough to stay positive and motivated. Council told me they can't help with my situation and I refuse to live in a hostel with drug addicts and also iv got my cat to consider. so looks like I'm here for a while. Keep keeping on, wish you well. Upwards and onwards.
Well done, you m8! And the kokoon is a great quality bell tent. Ashley at Canvas tent shop is an absolute gent. Hope all goes well for you.
I want to learn bushcraft because any of us can end up homeless. I want to be able to survive. I used to really scared of being homeless, so much so i twould affect my mental wellbeing, but it is not has bad as I thought it could be if you have a lot of skill, equipment and survival knowledge. I love camping and learning how to survive. I like the simple life. I have a house and am so sick of the expensive maintenance and the feeling of being stuck in one place all the time.
When you have bushcraft, you have a home anywhere.........unless like mine your Mrs has mental health issues! Then you need a house! 😄
Steve, I'm a retired locomotive fitter and the first thing I was taught about oxy acetylene gas welding and cutting is never, never, never use grease to fit gas fittings. The reason being is it may cause an explosion. The other thing you need to know is that oxygen fittings are always right-handed threads and all other threads of acetylene fittings (lpg, propane, etc) are always left-handed threads. You were right to just nip up the fitting with a spanner. Firm but not over tight. You can check for gas leaks by using a paint brush to 'paint' the fittings with soapy water. You will see bubbles if there is a leak. Never use a match unless you want to be with your ancestors sooner than later. Cheers from Australia.
Forgot to mention that you can use soapy water as a lubricant to force gas hoses on to gas fittings. Never use grease.
Thank you very much for this. Great advice.
Thank you very much for the info. I would want to become a casualty 😄 great to know. Thank you.
Another thing I forgot to mention is you may notice that the gas fitting nuts on the cooker you are using have a groove machined into the middle of the width of the nut. That is the symbol for a left-hand thread. Oxygen fitting are plain and don't have that groove and are right-handed threaded.
Good luck, love and prayers. ❤
Thank you very much.
Ignore the negative people. They will never know the true meaning of life!!!! It's what life hands you not what they can use from people.
Thank you 😊
Just block them m8
We never had a cutting board when I was growing up, mum chopped veg like her mum did by holding it and using her thumb behind it. I did too till I married and we got a chopping board as a wedding pressy. I still do it that way when camping. You use you hand to sort of close the knife down into the veg and can stop before you get all the way through.
Works for spuds and root veg though you do need something to lean against for swedes and other big veg so a plate is handy then .
That's how I usually do it, haha. This blade is 3mm thick, so you can't slice right through like you can with a flat grind. Thank for stopping by. Take care.
I just stumbled across your channel mate, I guess you popped up in my feed, due to your situation..
I was homeless for 3 three years up until February this year, so I do understand what you're going through..🙏
It's not easy, and days will get tough but it's important to stay positive and optimistic, wish nothing but the best to you and your better half ❤❤
Thank you for your supportive words. Take care.
@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors You to buddy, love from Denmark 🇩🇰 and looking forward to more content...🙏♥️
Living in a bell tent was my goal, but havnt found land but living off grid is my dream x❤
It is very freeing when you are used to it.
I hope you said to the missus
Tony offered us a caravan, but I said no thanks mate we have settled into the tent mate. You're loving it aren't you luv ( in the correct location to run and not trip over tent ropes ) 😂😂😂
Before telling her ( as you duck) no luv I said yes I said yes😂😂
I hope you take it how it was meant as humour
You will be ok!! Take no notice of negative comments!! ❤
Thank you.
