Billy, I've been a kayaker for years and learnt the hard way with things "falling off". An old saying is "leash it or lose it". Tie a string to your items and the canoe or yourself. simple but effective. Keep them coming.
I can't believe how calm you were when the Camera went overboard, I'd of been spitting feathers 😂. Great video though, the Canoe seems like a peaceful way to get about on water.
Hi Billy I'm steve other half of the cranky campers little tip mate I've learnt from kayaks works on canoes tie a lanyard to your your vessel or at piece of rope when landing on land so if vessel kicks away from you as you get on dry land you can always pull your vessel back to you good video as always mate 👍
Be careful Billy you are about to be a very big you tube Chanel. It couldn't happen to a better person......lots of respect from all of us here in Oklahoma....
This is a feature packed edition Billy, love the Canoe stealth camping idea & it gives you the edge on other channels also a whole new perspective to your hobby. Gutted about your Camera those things cost a fortune. Your van must be like a tardis how do you find the room to live in it with a canoe a post bike and a bed? All the best.
Perhaps Billy will use the Sonic Screwdriver to fix the water logged camera. Whew that water looked cold! Great job getting the camera and tripod back!
Yes, cup of coffee and time for another one of your videos, I used my new hammock last Sunday on my first wild camp in about 20 years. It was really comfy apart from getting eaten my mosquitos before I got in it. I've started looking at different round abouts in my area. Some look really busy, but they're pretty big, I'll be scouting some out in about 2 week for my next wild camp. If you're someone watching this and you want to do it, then do it. It's blooming awesome. Just be careful and stay stealthy, keep it tidy and no noise. Respect the wildlife plants and trees, and it is good for your body and mind. Enjoy. Does anyone else want to try ham dipped into pot noodles now 😂
Well you have done it again! Great video. Cannot believe you went in that river half naked. Glad to see you retrieved it though. Thanks for another great video ❤️
This has got to be the most British video I've ever watched !! Dreary miserable weather, pot noodle for tea, camera going overboard, arse crack sticking out of the jeans..... 🤣 Awesome stuff - Keep up the good work! New sub from me 👍
Billy, have you ever thought about fishing? It’s a great hobby to have especially in the summer, you should give it a go since I see you like spending time on rivers 🙂
Went fishing on that stretch of river once. Realised why it ain't called catching. There's them what likes fishing then there's me. But to each their own.
@@offcamping I recommend getting a "pen rod", they are tiny when packed away. Then you can just pull it out and give it a try any time, and if you end up not using it at all then it barely took up any space.
You're so good at this! I look for you everyday after work when I turn on RUclips! I am coming home to the UK soon, to Plymouth, actually, and I will be watching out for that church where you camped!😅
Nice vid man!! Love how you are branching out with other activities! You van make a mean shelter with tarp and your canoe for make do shelter!! Keep em coming
I hadn't realised it was the morning after you'd had to go for a dip. That must have been freezing. A pot noodle & some meat, all a growing lad needs ITS GORGEOUS!
Great little trip well done, I would have gone further down it’s more private and a camp fire would have been amazing, sorry to see you lost the camera I’ll be getting another canoe myself soon I forgot how much fun it is , but I’ll stick to quad for now, keep the vids coming they’re a great watch and inspiration thanks :))
Great video! My brothers and I are going to start an annual canoe trip this summer. We used to do it when we were young with my parents. We are all getting older and don’t have much time for each other anymore. It will be a great bonding experience! Say yea to the U.P. Ehhh?!?!
Love the canoe idea, totally different dimension. Looked like a great campsite. Thanks for sharing. BTW the first time you tried to get out of the canoe was the first time I realised I will never, ever go in a canoe!
Go for a row boat instead. Slower than these unstable kayaks and canoes everyone seems obsessed with, but extremely stable and versatile. I just step in and out of my inflatable row boat - after tying it to the dock first!
@@ALoonwolf Not for me thanks, I'm a non swimmer, so whatever I would fall out of, I'd be in trouble! I think that Billy uses the canoe as he can drag it from the river to his camp site.
Fair play to you for going back and glad you managed to retrieve your fallen camera & tripod (I would've been swearing like a fishwife had it happened to me). But bugger me, that water must've been bloody freezing, you're a brave soul getting in there - especially in the middle of winter! For some reason it gave me a flashback of doing capsize drills kayaking on the Medway estuary in January when I was 14. Nice original idea for a camp btw, as are pretty much all your episodes, but this one particularly so. Keep 'em coming Billy!
Great video, glad you got that camera back. One thing I was going to say was to never put the stove in the canoe, as I'm sure you know that you can't have your kayak and heat it....
Great video it looks very relaxing going down the river good camp out. You could always sleep in the canoe I guess with a tarp over it. I haven't seen any other RUclips doing a camp out with a Canoe this was brilliant. Glad you got the tripod back I hope the SIM card was readable from the camera. Keep up the great work excellent.
Nice video buddy 😀 stumbled across your channel, and looking forward to catching up on your videos 👍 I like that you seem to embrace the 'unknown' in a way I think most of us would
I had imagined that you would have just slept underneath the upturned boat Billy. Even a flat out full speed wild boar would not graze you. Good video bud, something different.
Billy, you are ok to paddle up most water ways. It’s if you use a motor it causes problems. Trespass is only if you hope up on a bank on private land, even trespass is only a civil matter & not a criminal offence. By the way where did you get the canoe? Looks fab
Spot on mate, just what I needed after today, was actually really hoping you'd have a vid up so i could chill with you somewhere in blighty again for a mo. Thanks man. Hope you're all good.
I love the variety mate, it's great to see in the world of wild camping videos some people seem to churn out the same content every week with the same equipment (paul messener) keep doing what youre doing fella ✌
we're you running from the attacking goose, when the Camera went in? Awwe that sucks that you lost the Camera! really nice canoe though! thanks for the Vid Billy! Keep up the good work Friend!
Cool canoe most people are selfish and have single person kayaks. Sorry about the camera saw you found it hopefully it is salvageable. Have fun be safe.
Oh yeah and get a second paddle. Also tie about 10 meters of 9mm rope to each end of your canoe. Use floating polypropylene or add so.e sort of a float to the one on the stern. If you get dumped and your canoe gets away or sinks you will need to have a floating line to be able to recover it.
Billy what a great vid once again. I'm sorry about the camera, mabe could you make up something to hold the camera in your canoe so it won't happen again. I think you should take up fishing bud, you would make it more enjoyable to watch. Love to be able to collaborate with you on day.
That would be an awesome river to do a lazy river run with a tube in the Summer time. The water looks like it is flowing nicely. Keep following your nose Billy.
Sickening when the camera and tripod fell out. Amazing that you were able t retrieve it though. Really liked the canoe stealth trip you had here look forward to anymore of this type being done. Seems to me that the hardest part is finding a place to park where no one messes with you vehicle. Thanks for Sharing. Can you do a review of your wet bag sometime? Stay Safe. Stay Healthy.
Recommend tying a 'painter' cord to your Canoe, so that you can keep hold of it whilst embarking, or disembarking. Nothing worse than being on dry land and watching your Canoe float off !!!
Nice, you got it!! I saw your 20 sec vid last night and it looked doubtful you'd get that back. The camera is knackered obviously, no amount of rice will fix that 😆but was the memory card alright?
good video. ah man i went off pot noodles recently. since i tried a nice vegan dhal pot, the old favourites have faded. reminder: if you go to a big sainsberries, score yourself some of their chocolate fudge brownie milk. my fren, you gonna be so happy.
Ah, that brings back memories of my $400 GPS making a distinctive "bloop" sound as it disappeared into the Gulf of Mexico. The current one has a lanyard and a snaphook, as do my phone, camera, and headlamp. It's currently about minus 5 C here today. I'm gathering my drysuit and insulation to go out for a paddle in my kayak.
I used to smoke a lot of weed and in all of my stoned food creations I’ve never thought of the simple dipping ham in a pot noodle but I will be trying it 😂
Oh dear, TIE EVERYTHING TO THE BOAT! Especially if you're in a wobbly narrow boat because those things will inevitably tip over. I use an inflatable row boat, it's easy to carry around in a bag so I can take it anywhere. Nice to see some Winter boating too, it seems most people say, "I'll be out there in the Summer." Lame!
I have my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 ..hoping the camera is ok.. was it the Canon m50 or the Gopro8 ..i'm impressed.. No offensive language, or expression of anger. 👍🏻 lovin the Canoe.. I thinking is there some way to convert it to sleep in ..tarp cover? .. enjoyed this vid Billy. Be safe m8 😎
Respect for going into the water to retrieve your camera and tripod ! Might there be any way of claiming for the camera on your Home Insurance, such as it 'fell into a sink full of water' ... ???
What river was it? Most rivers are owned & maintained by The Canal & River trust , people are free to paddle on them daily, I think you only have to pay a fee if you Moore on it over night in a Yoghurt pot boat or a canal boat.
Billy, I've been a kayaker for years and learnt the hard way with things "falling off". An old saying is "leash it or lose it". Tie a string to your items and the canoe or yourself. simple but effective. Keep them coming.
Good idea!
Thanks mate I just brought some rope. I'm gonna sort something out for next time
@@offcamping cheap carabiners and some paracord matey. that'll do. i think there's some shown on my kayak vids
No.1 stealthcamper UK
I can't believe how calm you were when the Camera went overboard, I'd of been spitting feathers 😂. Great video though, the Canoe seems like a peaceful way to get about on water.
I nearly went in for it but I was worried about the canoe going in
Hi Billy I'm steve other half of the cranky campers little tip mate I've learnt from kayaks works on canoes tie a lanyard to your your vessel or at piece of rope when landing on land so if vessel kicks away from you as you get on dry land you can always pull your vessel back to you good video as always mate 👍
Hi mate Yeah I've just been to get some rope so hopefully be sorted for next time
we were exploring a round about near by the other day and we half expected to come round a tree and find offcamping eating a cream cake ha ha ha ;)
A rare sighting at this time of year of the lesser spotted Amphibious Billy. _Billius Eatpotnoodlus_
Be careful Billy you are about to be a very big you tube Chanel. It couldn't happen to a better person......lots of respect from all of us here in Oklahoma....
I couldn’t have put it better myself. The man is an actual living legend.

All the best.

A Tardis van! That would explain it!
I've thought that too.Wonder if there a way of lashing it to some pegs on the wall or ceiling.. A least it'll save a bit of floor space.
Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed it.
This was my idea!!! I told him to do it months ago hehe!!

Lol, can imagine those drivers thinking what's that dude doing in the river 🤣🤣.
Very funny, glad you got it back 👍

And chef

Definitely should try it Billy, we always chuck a bit of fishing on when we can
Maybe one day

Keep em coming
bro down to the togs,,, 100% dedication right there 💪👏👏👏👏 I won't go in unless it's 30 deg's 😂😂😂 🇦🇺/🇬🇧 Miss blighty 🍻
Brilliant. These could be fantastic trips in the summer on the canoe. Tales of the Riverbank.😀
Yeah be fun to see how far I can go in it
Thanks for the video I always enjoy watching them !! Definitely must be fun making them !! Stay safe and take care !!
I hadn't realised it was the morning after you'd had to go for a dip. That must have been freezing. A pot noodle & some meat, all a growing lad needs ITS GORGEOUS!
Wow...That's a big roundabout! Hats of for getting in there. Cheers Billy
Great little trip well done, I would have gone further down it’s more private and a camp fire would have been amazing, sorry to see you lost the camera I’ll be getting another canoe myself soon I forgot how much fun it is , but I’ll stick to quad for now, keep the vids coming they’re a great watch and inspiration thanks :))
I'd be raging if I had lost the camera and the tri pod. Well done for being so calm (on camera) lol.
Great camp beside the canoe.
Great video! My brothers and I are going to start an annual canoe trip this summer. We used to do it when we were young with my parents. We are all getting older and don’t have much time for each other anymore. It will be a great bonding experience! Say yea to the U.P. Ehhh?!?!
sounds amazing wanna do something like that some day
Hi Billy, good to see you so soon, superb video again, it’s a shame the sun wasn’t out, but at least it’s not raining, thank you Billy, stay safe. Xxx
Glad you enjoyed it
I was sooo happy when you found the camera as it was so frustrating to see it go in!😊
Love the canoe idea, totally different dimension. Looked like a great campsite. Thanks for sharing. BTW the first time you tried to get out of the canoe was the first time I realised I will never, ever go in a canoe!
Yeah it was a bit precarious getting in and out. Thank you for watching

@@ALoonwolf Not for me thanks, I'm a non swimmer, so whatever I would fall out of, I'd be in trouble! I think that Billy uses the canoe as he can drag it from the river to his camp site.
Sent a tenner towards a new camera, hope you get one soon. Glad you got the card and tripod back at least. Keep up the good work!

That is brilliant. Haha.
Great vid Billy, loved the concentration face when you was getting out the canoe haha, stay safe my friend
Hi Billy.. it really puts a smile on my face when I see an upload from your good self.. keep it up :)
Billy, youre a legend mate :) keep it up
Great video it looks very relaxing going down the river good camp out. You could always sleep in the canoe I guess with a tarp over it. I haven't seen any other RUclips doing a camp out with a Canoe this was brilliant. Glad you got the tripod back I hope the SIM card was readable from the camera. Keep up the great work excellent.

Nice video buddy 😀 stumbled across your channel, and looking forward to catching up on your videos 👍 I like that you seem to embrace the 'unknown' in a way I think most of us would
Your accidents make you all the more likeable. My favourite is still you testing your bushcraft chair🤣
Well done on getting you camera and tripod back....you were certainly calmer when it went over than I would have been...
I had imagined that you would have just slept underneath the upturned boat Billy. Even a flat out full speed wild boar would not graze you. Good video bud, something different.
A big hello from Canada! 👍
Enjoy your videos, there great.
Keep it up. 🤗
hi mate thanks glad you like them
Good job getting your camer back mate. You dealt with that in a very chilled out manner.
Billy you got some great cameras angles going on! Glad u got your tripod back👍
Billy, you are ok to paddle up most water ways. It’s if you use a motor it causes problems. Trespass is only if you hope up on a bank on private land, even trespass is only a civil matter & not a criminal offence. By the way where did you get the canoe? Looks fab
Sharp intake of breath as camera went over 😲
I do a lot of camping and kayak camping so I thought I'd check your channel out 😁👍
Thanks for checking it out mate
Spot on mate, just what I needed after today, was actually really hoping you'd have a vid up so i could chill with you somewhere in blighty again for a mo. Thanks man. Hope you're all good.
Good to see you out on the water again Billy bit of a bugger your camera going overboard tho. Glad you found it 👍
Brilliant channel pal keep up the good work👍
I love the variety mate, it's great to see in the world of wild camping videos some people seem to churn out the same content every week with the same equipment (paul messener) keep doing what youre doing fella ✌
Another good video m8 and it's great to see your getting lots of subscribers hope this channel goes far 👌👍🏻😁
Canoe camping that's a game changer Billy I might try it on the canal not as wild as the river
Got to love a pot noodle! As ever mate another great video
Have you ever thought of tying up the canoe, throwing a cover over it and sleeping inside it probably moving the seat first lol.
Loverly boat Billy. Great video too. Cheers and keep safe.
we're you running from the attacking goose, when the Camera went in? Awwe that sucks that you lost the Camera! really nice canoe though! thanks for the Vid Billy! Keep up the good work Friend!
Cool canoe most people are selfish and have single person kayaks. Sorry about the camera saw you found it hopefully it is salvageable. Have fun be safe.
Nice canoe. You want to get yourself down the Caledonian and do some camps there
Billy you sir have balls of steel, it must of been freezing!
great video mate. really enjoyed it
Oh yeah and get a second paddle. Also tie about 10 meters of 9mm rope to each end of your canoe. Use floating polypropylene or add so.e sort of a float to the one on the stern. If you get dumped and your canoe gets away or sinks you will need to have a floating line to be able to recover it.
That's good advice thank you.
Sneaking your canoe in the river, but put the proof on RUclips
Love it 👍
Have you thought about attaching mooring lines? Or a line around the boat outer?
yeah im on it mate
Billy what a great vid once again. I'm sorry about the camera, mabe could you make up something to hold the camera in your canoe so it won't happen again. I think you should take up fishing bud, you would make it more enjoyable to watch. Love to be able to collaborate with you on day.
Billy mate that was possibly the best video yet - hat off to you for going in there 👍
Was the camera/card ruined?
Well done dude, the content has really improved, not saying it was bad in the beginning BTW. Just an observation dude, love it
Top video, great shots sorry for your loss, hope you find it and it works
thanks mate
You're so anxious on this camp., get it, we've all been there. But really.., on that camp, no reason. All the best, Monty.
That would be an awesome river to do a lazy river run with a tube in the Summer time. The water looks like it is flowing nicely. Keep following your nose Billy.

Just what the doctor ordered. Great to see you Billy :) BTW... YAY!!!
Recommend tying a 'painter' cord to your Canoe, so that you can keep hold of it whilst embarking, or disembarking. Nothing worse than being on dry land and watching your Canoe float off !!!
Well done Billy that takes ball's to get into that water first thing in the morning well done mukka.👍😜😂
Nice, you got it!! I saw your 20 sec vid last night and it looked doubtful you'd get that back. The camera is knackered obviously, no amount of rice will fix that 😆but was the memory card alright?
Nice video again. Back therapy going well with me.
Bloody hell mate , that looks cold!
Awesome episode, so glad you got the camera back. 👍👍
Also known as.. Billy big Balls 😂
Cool camera shots on the paddle back
good video. ah man i went off pot noodles recently. since i tried a nice vegan dhal pot, the old favourites have faded.

Looks warm. A balmy -17 Celsius here today
Awesome 👍 I am inspired!!
Did you try saving the camera? Take the battery off, open any accessory doors and stick it in a bag of rice. Let it dry for a couple days.
Brilliant stealth camp with the canoe, shame about the camera. Enjoyed the video 👍
Glad to see you out there. Yeah I guess you know now. Tie down everything
Nice... you got your camera out. Love this channel ❤ 💕 🙌
Glad you got your camera back dude!

Glad you got your camera and tripod back buddy.
I have a kayak. I love kayak/canoe camping. You can get to places people on foot can't. Is that camera a GoPro ? I thought they are waterproof ?
Respect for going into the water to retrieve your camera and tripod !
Might there be any way of claiming for the camera on your Home Insurance, such as it 'fell into a sink full of water' ... ???

Glad you managed to get the camera back! Was it salvagable?
What camera was that that went underwater and did it ever work again? Sods law that it wasn't the GoPro that went in, which would've been fine.
It was a canon M50 definitely not waterproof
Great video and content billy, brilliant
Gez, you're up to 17+k subscribers. Awesome. I remember 300?
I wonder if there's a roundabout with a river running through it?
There is. The magic roundabout in hemel Hempstead
Excellent effort 👏 open Canadians take skill and balance to pilot 👏👍
unbelievable, expect the unexpected with Billy
The canoe doubles up nicely as a picnic bench for meal times.
