2 subscribers down now! I'm really a bit confused, surely if anyone had subscribed in the first place they would have watched one of my other videos and wanted to see more of the same sort of thing...? I wonder what it is about this video that was so off putting?
I recently found your channel and have been binge watching, I'm enjoying the honest presentation, great that you are not pretending to be a survivor or eating MREs, just enjoying the great outdoors. Your videos are pretty unique among wild campers in that I'm yet to see an outsized 4x4. Travelling by train or bus and visiting such varied locations is revolutionary in terms of RUclips wild campers. Well done, keep it up.
Thanks Steve for that really nice feedback! It's interesting you mention the trains/buses as I too have noticed the vast majority of RUclips wild campers (at least the UK based ones) rely on a car to get to the location. I guess there's pros and cons to each way of doing it but I like the freedom of public transport - I don't have to worry about finding a safe place to park the car, I don't have to start and end my walk at the same place, and if it's just a daytime walk it's no problem if I want to stop off at a pub and have a couple of pints or take some wine along with me. Some people talk about wild camping on RUclips being a bit of an overcrowded space but I think having hundreds (more like thousands?) of different people making videos about broadly the same topic is a good thing! I'm sure some people watch 30 seconds of one of my videos and think "Who is this idiot?" and click away never to return! ...but other people seem to like the slightly off-beat way I do things. Hopefully for everybody out there who likes watching videos about wild camping there is somebody out there making videos in a style they'll actually like!
@@tweedyoutdoors I should have mentioned, I don't drive, so for me it's really quite refreshing. I have wild camped a few times, usually travelling by bicycle, but I'm now feeling inspired to do some more walking with the help of a train.
What a splendid way to enjoy the Seven Sisters, my favourite adventure of yours so far👍🏻 , although the Stone Circle camp is still on my watch later list
Thanks Garry, that's really good to hear, especially as early indicators seemed to suggest this video was a bit of a damp squib! The Seven Sisters are of course an iconic spot, and in summer this bit of coastline draws big crowds. So it was really special to have the place to myself, as far as I could tell, for such a long stretch of time. From sunset until sunrise, nobody walked past me at all.
Thanks Hartley, very kind of you to say so, and I really appreciate you sticking with it from the early days! I don't know if the channel will ever be massive - I think my slightly odd approach to outdoors stuff probably isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I would much rather be able to connect with a small number of like minded people than a large number of people I have very little in common with!
The different approach you have to your videos is what sets you apart from others. Really refreshing and always interesting. Although Smurfy outdoors with a chunky knife is a little unnerving !
Thankyou Tweedy for a real midweek treat. Weather looked amazing and enjoying that bottle of wine watching the sunset must have been great. Love the South Coast wonderful part of England 🇬🇧 👍
What a gorgeous scene of your little table with the bottle and glass of wine and sunset. And your breakfast at the cafe the next morning looked delicious and exactly the kind of breakfast that tastes so good after a wild camp adventure. As always I loved it. Cheers! 🎩🍾🍷💜
Thanks Jamie, and that must be an early start to the day for you (I think I recall you're on the west coast?). Yes it was a great spot. I try not to get too Instagrammy when making these videos - I do kind of want to "keep it real" - but I found the view of the wine, the little table and the sunset quite satisfying. I am reminded of once when I went for a picnic with friends in Greenwich Park, and there was another group nearby who seemed to also be having a picnic... Or so we thought. After they laid out all their food and drinks, they spent about an hour taking selfies, then packed all the food and drink away, untouched, and left. Presumably the whole thing was purely for the sake of Instagram? I can assure you I actually drank the wine! Yes I think the key thing I liked about that breakfast was how hot it all was!
@@tweedyoutdoors Yes that's correct, I'm on the west coast in Astoria Oregon but I'm originally from Santa Rosa California (Wine country) which is about 700 miles south of here. And in fact a lot of the English countryside reminds me of my native Sonoma County. 🎩🍾🍷💜
Thanks Ysgolgerlan! I remember you had a really nice video camping under a hawthorn tree, and those windswept trees near the end of this video reminded me of that.
For fear of sounding slightly sad, I think that was possibly the best sunset yet in one of your videos - fantastic ! And considering it is February, a bit of wind during the night camping on an exposed cliff is probably a smallish price to pay for spending a night in such a glorious spot. Great work John 👍
Thanks Giles! Yes it was a very subtle sort of a sunset with a muted palette - not one of those showy ones where there are bright oranges and pinks all over the place - but in that setting, looking out to sea, it was very nice. Yes you're right, for February I was very fortunate with the weather, and the great thing about braving the elements this time of year is that for pretty much 12 hours it seemed like I had the whole place to myself! Thanks for watching and thanks for the support!
Thanks Anthony! I am kind of doing my own thing I guess, maybe a bit different from typical RUclips wild camping videos. I'm not sure it will be everyone's cup of tea, but it's really gratifying that some people do like it!
Really like your style Tweedy!. Camping out in the open, drinking fabulous wine with amazing scenery. I'm planning something similar myself in the warmer months
Interestingly, I was only looking at maps of the seven sisters the other day. Lovely sunset. Shame about the damaged gear, though. I hope the thermarest survived.
Great minds think alike! Sorry if I pipped you to the post, but fear not, my audience is a tiny fraction of yours so nobody will claim you're being unoriginal if you do a video in the same location! I thought it was a great spot, and it's an iconic location, so after a quick search for other videos of Seven Sisters wild camps I was a bit surprised there were only a handful. Of course it is all quite open and exposed, and if a busybody happened to be passing there's not really anywhere to hide. I waited until after dark to pitch my tarp, and up until then I was just a guy sitting in a tweed suit drinking wine alone on a clifftop which nobody would have considered in any way unusual or remarkable.
Thank you Tweedy for another excellent quality video. I would suggest that you invest in an Opinel No 10 with the built in corkscrew. Opinels are an excellent choice for camping and preparing camp meals.
I've watched a lot of wild campers on youtube here in the uk and I have to say I enjoyed this one differently with your unique - not so conventional style in your attire and bottle of wine compared to the rest of the bunch haha. I've been inspired to do some wild camping of my own and have taken a few tips from different youtubers; and from you sir I am inspired to indulge in some wine and make an elaborate soupy dish. I look forward to seeing more of your videos mate!
Thanks Sam! Really glad to hear my videos have provided some inspiration. My two main hobbies are wine and walking/camping and so it makes perfect sense to me to combine the two. Each one improves the enjoyment of the other in my opinion! Of course on the downside wine bottles are a bit heavy but you can always decant into a plastic bottle / bag beforehand if you're planning a long hike and want to keep the weight down.
Very fond of that stretch of coast - quite “wild” in a southern England way. The cliffs must have been quite intimidating to the many and varied invaders over the centuries. Another great video!
Thanks WC21! Probably my own ignorance but hard to think of an example of another country which has such a famous landmark along its coastline as the Seven Sisters and the corresponding terminus of the North Downs at Dover, much lauded in song.
It was so worth it! I didn't have a particularly good night's sleep, but then I hardly ever do when camping... but the evening sat on the cliff top with a bottle of wine watching the sun set (and then later the stars) was magical.
Only just got to watch this. Here I am freezing my a#$% off. Gray sky promising myself to NOT have some wine tonight and you go and put a fantastic sunset. Bottle of wine and a glass. Well what is a man to do?? lol Another great vid Thanks Tweedy.
I have deliberated for some time on the most appropriate reply to your comment. Given the sense of responsibility I feel as Some Bloke On The Internet it would be very remiss of me to encourage bad lifestyle choices. So, after careful consideration I have come to the conclusion: drink the bloody wine Alan! 🥂 🍾🍷
Hey Tweedy were those the White Cliffs of Dover I saw in the Move ‘Battle of Britain’? (Back in the day!) love the glass of wine on the beach. Love the cosy camp! Thanks for sharing Dave 🇬🇧 🇳🇿
Thanks David! (...and particularly for being first to comment!) I haven't seen Battle of Britain but I Googled it and I think you're right. I do remember them featuring in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
@@tweedyoutdoors you are missing a treat. It’s a classic move of the 1960’s. Even the Germans were ’ proper Germans’. Lots of cool aerial combat scenes and historically accurate
Thanks Frank! I searched on RUclips just now and found a few other videos. Liam Brown also did one.. but yes, it doesn't seem there's a huge number of them out there considering what an iconic spot it is.
Hi, loved the video as always. Must of missed this one as only just found it. A question if I may… the Bivvy bag you used, I’ve been on their website and in the comments to one of his adventures he states that most waterproof Bivvy bags are prone to a lot of condensation, which I have found to be true with my Alpkit Elan and Hunka bivvies. The maker of your bag states that because his are not waterproof as such that they don’t suffer from this problem. How did you find this to be? Also does the bivvy have a zip either side as it’s not to clear on the website. If you can find the time to answer that would be most helpful. Anyway I live about an hour and a half away from the South Downs and have camped many times where you were. I love it, keep up the good work. All the best.
Thanks Lucy! Yes this was a really beautiful spot to camp and I guess because I went mid-week in February it felt like I had the whole place to myself. I've only used the As Tucas bivvy twice so far (once in this video, once in my most recent wild camp, last weekend). The most recent trip was a very dry night, and I guess in the end I was only in the bivvy for 4 or 5 hours but I didn't notice any condensation. I don't remember that being much of an issue on the Seven Sisters trip either. That said I have the As Tucas quilt as well, which has a similar material on the outer, and being a synthetic fill it doesn't matter much if that gets a bit damp. So I'm not sure I have much experience with it yet to give you a very comprehensive answer! It is really quite expensive isn't it? I'm not sure I'm getting a huge amount of value out of it yet, but if I ever manage to set it up fully (pegging down the corners and tying the cord things to a ridgeline to suspend it) then it might come into its own as a sort of ultralight / ultra-compact tent inner. I didn't manage that on my most recent trip, as everything went a bit awry. Yes it has a double zip which goes all the way round the mesh section at the head end. I found it easier to get in and out of than previous bivvy bags I've tried - I too had a couple of Alpkit ones before this.
Thanks for subscribing! I thought this video was a bit of a damp squib (based on the analytics), so it's really gratifying to get this kind of positive feedback!
@@OUTDOORALLY RUclips is a funny old business isn't it? Sometimes I put out a video and I know I haven't put a lot of effort into it so it's fine if it doesn't do very well. Other times I really feel like I've tried my best to make the sort of video I think people want to watch, but it also gets nowhere, and that's a bit frustrating... but almost more frustrating than that are the videos that I didn't put a lot of effort into, but have got comparatively a lot of views/likes/whatever, and I really can't figure out what was better about them compared to the other ones! Anyway, as you say, some of the videos I most enjoyed making are not necessarily the ones other people most enjoyed watching and I guess that's fine! If nothing else it's an archive of my expeditions for my own enjoyment.
@@tweedyoutdoors exactly , thats the only way you can approach it ! Just do your own thing , enjoy doing what your doing and hopefully people will like it 👍🏻🏕
No I'm just an interested amateur. Although I did once attend a short course on vinegrowing, and I am very proud of the certificate I received at the end of it! I could probably do a segment on the pros and cons of different pruning techniques if I ever do a wild camp in a vineyard. 😁
It was quite a mild night for the time of year - I think the forecast said it wouldn't go below about 7°C, perhaps the wind brought the "feels like" temperature a little lower than that, but certainly it was above freezing. I'm definitely not impervious to the cold! ...but I love being outside, and even when I do start to shiver a bit I always try and eke it out a while longer to prolong the magic.
Another Rave review! Vegetable preparation , or should that be fruit? .. with a seascape background. I don't think Rick Stein and his production team ever did better!
I do sometimes carry a spare (more when I'm going for a walk in my local area in case I bump into someone I know) but I get the sense most people are generally a bit wary of random guys offering them a glass of wine in the middle of nowhere!
Claims by mere mortals like ‘Spring is here’ only serve to annoy the weather gods, who will promptly show us just how wrong we are. Far better to say things like I hope that Spring is here, anything else can be seen as an outright challenge.
RUclips analytics tells me this video has already lost a subscriber. "Two videos in the space of less than a week... Not that idiot again!" 🤣
