    I came to appreciate your videos for your openness and the natural way you speak your mind as if you were thinking out loud...these days everyone is trying to sell something and pitching sales while you just enjoy the moment. You deserve much more views and subs... all the best from Portugal mate!

    Top tip for lighting a fire using a ferrous rod, use the lint collected in your tumble/condensor dryer, as a fire starting fuel. Store in a plastic bag.

      Camping is wonderful for mental health. One night just calming everything down a good book or a radio or what I found great fun a book to write about my adventure then you can relive it as often as you like. Good luck with the anxiety, one day at Time and you will win, I did you can too

    I lived for almost three years on a fifty year old diver's boat on a beach in the south of Ireland , i watch you an I get the enjoyment you get from peace an solitude and just being in nature, i felt the very same and everyday the tide came in an floated me, I was safe during two hurricanes . Iam astounded at some of the equipment you use , one of my biggest problems was keeping warm and sleeping comfortably your stuff is far superior to anything I ever found, I did have a pot belly stove on board for heating which i fed with branches and wood i found on the beach. Were i can claim to have bettered you i was able to feed myself from the Atlantic ocean simply by fishing an baiting lobster pots, sadly a triple stroke and cardiac arrest brought my adventures to a close , now i watch you and enjoy your trails , best of luck to you.

    Great vid. Some folks can't camp without the latest and greatest. You get by with a bit of string and an Ali express stove. Cracking stuff. Dodgy on unzipping that tent though. Could have been people inside having nookie lol. I also love how you expanded the shelter with overhead tarp. Very clever. Chair too. I wouldn't have bothered going home haha. Come armageddon and everyone is running around helpless in their nighties you can bugger off to the woods and get by fine. I thought my camp set up was solid but that overhead tarp and chair idea is getting used as well now. It'll stop the birds shitting on me. It landed in my coffee last time.

    Was there myself last night Dan, my Autistic son's first camp as an adult. Camped in Mr nobody's tents spot. Was a wet one last night, just us and 3 other lads who turned up late, they were also gone before I got up at 4am, rain must have scared them off.

    Ive done alot of heavy rain camping in my life. I live in N.H. USA, up in the White Mountains and towards canada it can be a beautiful sunny day and calm night, but it turns fierce out of nowhere. Even if rain isnt "forecast" i ALWAYS run a large tarp over our tent and cooking area. It has its own weather system where im from that can turn on a dime. Personally, i love it. As long as your prepared, its a good time. Love the videos sir. You inspire me to get back out there.

I do love wild camping but booked on a site to make the challenge easier with less to carry because I have a lot of gear. Just bought my first Duck down sleeping bag from Naturehike in the Amazon sale. My new Onetigris Scaena got covered in sap because I used my first tarp like a ground sheet.

I also put the date that I purchased the pack. I do this just in case I die or fall on the track and knock myself out. In fact I write or engrave my name on all my gear, it's an aid to identification. Enjoyed the video ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ ☺☺

    Tent and tarp is always a great idea. I never understood why folks don't carry a tarp along. It gives you some freedom to sit about during rain or snow or broiling sun. I've stopped watching many a channel because it ended up being a 20 minute video of a guy laying in a tent. Defeats the purpose of enjoying the outdoors if you're stuck inside for the majority of the adventure.
