Haters gonna hate... keep pressing on Paul.
NE😅D.1.
Had the pleasure of meeting Paul after me and my girfriend and our dogs first wild camp in the Peak District at a random encounter in a pub in Edale. Inspired by Paul and planned by watching his videos. The guys really down to earth, approacable and what you see is what you get. Really pleased to see him get the sucess he deserves. Offers free informative and inspiring content to the wild camping community. All the haters are just jealous. He deserves all the success he has created and has inspired thousands and made their lives imeassurably better with his content. Thank you and well done Paul. Keep going!
Thanks for the lovely words. Might get to bump into you again 👍🏻
Paul, I have never done any wild camping and have no desire to do so. However, I have watched all of your videos for several years and plan to continue doing so. They are entertaining and informative, and I can see no valid reason why anyone would complain about any aspect of them. You are obviously dedicated, knowledgeable, and determined in the pursuit of your craft. That was completely demonstrated in this video.
Sorry about the trolls. Remember the 175k of us who liked your vids enough to subscribe! Plus our other halves who get to know you as well!
For every one comment that's negative, they'll be thousands and thousands of other people who really do appreciate the work you do, me being one of them. Anyone can say a bad thing whilst they're shielded and sat in the comfort of their home. Keep on doing what you're doing because it inspires people like me and many others to get out, and I'm looking forward to the next video. I'm hoping to see some more of these multi day hikes, as I'd love to see what gear you'd bring for different journeys, as the Cumbria Way series was amazing!
I have never understood why people get bent out of shape over how RUclipsrs make thier money , it is none of our business , personally if it helps you keep the channel going then crack on :)
Paul & Jo, please keep up the great work. Reading the comments you can see how much of a positive difference you are making to people.
Yuk sponsors that have nothing to do with the content dont sell out its not worth it. Being online and pushing product links some people will hate you some will love you and some won't care its just how it is cant change it so do what you want. I am on the list for the new flextail pump looks the business, perfect for me. I love alcohol stove for peace and gas for speed and easy.
Just returned from a 3 day trip to the Peak district, my 1st time staying out more than 1 night. I have to say this would not be possible without yourself & Andy B videos. I have put into practice all your tips & tricks & have a fab time. Remeber its much harder to create than destroy & you are definitely the former. Best Simon
Trust me, those haters will be an utter drain on anyone that has the misfortune of being close to them. To have someone around constantly doubting your every word, I've had people like that in my life and I happily walk away from them, and never return. Block and move on. Keep the vids coming for those that enjoy them. 👍😊
How can you hate Paul, mate you're such a humble guy. I enjoy your content.
The trolls are just pricks mate. I just enjoy watching you being a great bloke.
For the haters (in the words of the Bandit) "Do the letters FO mean anything to you"? Paul i get them as well dont worry about them, as you say they are always someone who has no videos themselves. We understand why you do it the way you do, just keep going.👍 atb Rob
Idiots will be idiots. Keep going. I loved the armchair chat style, up on a hill !!! cheers with a glass of red wine. Tiny tent ???😵💫
What can I say that others already haven't? You're an inspiration to us all, man. Your reviews are honest, you go out in all conditions and you make all of us smile. Keep on keeping on. Never mind the trolls...they're very unhappy people. You, on the other hand, are an authentic person: happiness and sadness too. Top man.
If you want to melt the cheese a bit better a folded piece of aluminium foil to act as a lid for the frying pan helps and it weighs nothing. Cracking content mate, we're all behind you - my son in law, has just got into fellwalking and wild camping, and it's alot to do with you and the english woodmans channel, you are making a difference to other people 👍
Been watching you for a while bud. Please disregard the trolls. The rest of us really appreciate your work.
Over £10 for the dehydrated food! You could buy a couple packs of huel and portion them out for easy dehydrated meals!
Makes me think of Wallace and Gromit, the wrong trousers. Thanks for an interesting video.
My type of camping Paul, eat and drink like a king. Brilliant to see you relaxed and passing your knowledge on to the viewers. Best wishes to the girls for university, I'm just starting my Level 6 final year at the grand old age of 58. #nevertoolate.
Hi Paul, I’m a cyclist bike packer, you are my go to source of gear and fair critique. I do enjoy your trips and video content. Ignore the trolls, there’s much love in the world. Keep it up both you and Jo. Thanks Gary
Used multifuel for many years. One big advantage is you can always start with a full fuel bottle. I have always used Aspen4 find it very clean. They also work well in cold conditions. Multifuel are my first choice.
Paul I never comment on videos but you are just the best. "Never trust a skinny camper" 😂 Love the food a lot. Love the honest equipment reviews. Love it all! Dont even entertain the negative comments, you wont change these people ever so ignore!
Thank you for bringing your whole community ‘round the ‘campfire’ in such an open way. Keep up the great work!
Joe Robinet actually started ages ago with dehydrated leftovers that he rehydrated in the field. And that’s actually a great idea. You eat what you’re having at home and it’s dirt cheap comparing to the crap you sometimes get. I had Dal the other day
One of the best things about multi fuel stoves, is that you can empty, clean them and they are aircraft friendly. So when travelling to those out of the way places there is usually some form of liquid fuel. They last too, mine is nearly 20yrs old still working fine.
Ditto. Msr whisperlite. 17 years old and still running fine.
Same here wisperlite 25 years old. I love it 1 litre of unleaded will last a full week in the hills cheaper than gas too
Again same here ,,although I had become a collector of backpack stoves ,, I use the Whisperlite more than others ... I have a couple other liquid fuel stove such as the Original SVEA with a self contained fuel tank , great for day hikes and a single overnight where you will only use it once or twice , unless taking extra fuel along ... And for me in cold temps and mostly at altitude They always work ,, my MSR Whisperlite was added to my gear in mid '70's , still going strong ... have only used Coleman/white gas , although it will burn anything combustible,, maybe not as well ..... although use many canister stoves for day hikes and short trips because of simplicity ,, I favor the MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe .. Tough conditions to film Paul ,, but you did a great job ,, always good watch .. Stay Safe ...
Thermal long-johns, Paul!👍😄
Don't listen to the haters/morons Paul, your going a great job pal.
For fuel, go to a car parts shop and ask for panel wipe, it comes in 5 litre tins. Its basically naptha so burns cleaner than petrol and much cheaper than colman fuel.
Keep em coming marra, alsonthe weather has been horrific of late up here in the lakes, lots of wind and flooding, and then people say having an Soulo tent is overkill 😅
Love what you do Paul, please keep on doing what you do best. I know it is difficult to ignore the trolls, but they are just sad inadequates; you have 175k subscribers for a reason! Best wishes to you and Jo, and hope your girls have a great time at uni.
Thank you. We’re missing them already
Hi Paul, I agree, multifuel burners are great for a zombi apocalypse, or boiling water. There not as controlable, my primus multi is v noisy too. Food wise, cheapest block curry or chicken noodles, I get concentrated curry sauce (Goldfish brand, Chinese curry sauce) in a tub from Asda, (they don’t have it in all the time). I make up a resealable bag before I go, with a couple of tspn’s of curry sauce, creamed coconut, bistro chicken gravy, S&P. The gravy mainly thickens the sauce. Or noodles, a handful of couscous, and a sachet of cup a soup of whatever flavour you fancy. Boil noodles first, in both cases, then add flavouring/soup etc, then simmer to thicken. With two packets of noodles, it’s well filling!
Friday night's cider night, snax, film, bit of supper.....bed.
Enjoy the vids/reviews.....
'ull' east riding.
Brilliant Paul , any time you want to come back up to Scotland give me a shout 👍
Paul, one of my favourite videos of yours to date. Really enjoyed your chat on the chair section. Nice, honest and funny. Ignore the haters. More longer, longer form content 😆 please 🙏🏻
Ignore the idiots, open and honest advice and everyone has to make a living - great channel
Great video Paul, getting the trolls is a good indicator your doing well... They can't stand it.
That was a really good one. Don't pay attention to those negative comments. Those people just need to get a life and stop slagging off those that are doing something with theirs. Keep up the good work.
Hi Paul. Brilliant videos mate. Been off work for 2 weeks after getting gallbladder removed and all I’ve done is watch your videos. I’m a keen hiker and once back on my feet I’m going to incorporate wild camping into my hikes and you have so much given me vital information. Keep the videos coming. Sue ⛺️⛺️⛺️
How you’re back out in the hills soon 🥾
You know it’s always going to be good content and solid down to earth entertainment even before you’ve started watching! Great stuff as ever 👌
Great vid, thx.
For the camping you are doing, just makes sense to take fresh. I'd take a big friggin' steak, every time. If you can take a beer, you can take a t-bone. A 14 day trip, sure, take dehydrated meals or MRE's-- or hunt/fish your meals. I know that's alien to your part of the world. Growing up, we either got our meals along the trail or went hungry.
In N. America, gimme white gas or nothing. You might consider pre-heating your stove with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol.
Sad-- best glass of wine I ever had was from a couple who hired a guide to fly fish in MT. They owned a vinyard in CA. She just got killed by griz, and the guide said take the wine as they headed out for the 5 day horse ride back to civilization.
You don’t need anything else! Pull the other one. Insulation for the legs, I tend to find keeping my core warm and walking does the job. But a good pair of merino long johns or the Montane Terra Alpine trousers which are fleece lined, if they still do them. Keep up the good work Paul, don’t let Mardy arses get you down.
Hey Paul, some people are just jealous, plus they can't do what you're doing. Keep it up mate 🫡
Burgers for breakfast with Horseradish/mustard will clear your sinuses and mind. Helps you get a good start to the day. Good stuff!! LOL
Shame you didn't take the Southern Cross 1. Would love to see more of this being put through it's paces.
New to your channel and love what you do! Never been wild camping and a 50+ yrs old women, I’m not sure it’s something I could manage….!
Keep on keeping on.
Never say never, you're never too old, if you're physically mobile there's plenty of places you can go without climbing hills & mountains & you don't have to do it alone, I've camped most of my life but didn't really start solo wild camping until 50+ and I love it.
Why not just use a ready meal into a plastic bag, then simmer away in a brew pot stirring occasionally till hot, it doesn’t always have to be microwaved. I often used this on my cycle day trips out. I use an alcohol stove similar to the one you use, does the job adequately.
Re used plastic bag or one of those resealable foil bags.
You just carry on as you are, ignore the haters, what you get from company’s as freebees is your business, and nobody else’s..I like the honesty of your reviews Paul..video quality is great… stay warm…
Well said on the promotions front, nobody unless they are insane works for nothing, people do not realize the effort required to put your content out and all for free. You do an amazing job and you should benefit from all your hard work, i am with you 100% as i am sure 99.9 % of your viewers and subscribers are. Cheers. Andy. Scotland.
Double-poles could be a good idea if tent makers start selling an extra set as an option, designing the tent so that two poles can fit perfectly together, and maybe something like clips that hold them firmly together.
Fjallraven do this. Pole sleeves designed for two poles and you can buy additional sets as an option.
I am heading north from Edale on Saturday morning and see where the wind takes me. You have got me absolutely obsessed with wild camping, love the videos and advice you give, keep going. P.s avoid my Mrs as I am spending way to much on gear and its your fault 😉😂
You've come along way mate! I remember seeing you a few years back. It must have been when you first started out. It wasn't expensive light weight gear then exactly. I thought you were an unlikely candidate for the job, but look at you now!
Another great video Paul. Ignore the keyboard warriors, i would say it's jealousy. Keep up the good work 👍
Nice vid. Agreed re H12 basically just software. Good lighting on you.
the big rocks as a back drop was pretty special on the video, you looked like you were in your living room watching Emerdale.
was looking at those stoves online think ill give it a miss now seeing yours ..... one of the things i love about your videos we get to see the gear used b4 we go out and buy it , keep up the good work mate and fk the haters ... oh and to be fair down trousers ... i had some but never use them now i just stick to some good old thermal long johns lol
I’m drinking a glass of whine Paul when watching this in the Netherlands. Tomorrow I will be of with my husband to Scotland for 2 weeks. First week we will be backpacking and second week we hired a little house near Loch Lomond. We will hike then as well, but in the evening return to our little home. I am exited about it. I have watched a lot of you video’s and will definitively visit the Lake District once as well. Thanks for all you do.
Enjoy. We stayed at Loch Lomond in July. I recommend a boat trip on the loch.
You’re an inspiration to more people than you’ll ever know- keep up the fantastic work 👏 Surely we all want you to get as much gear as possible so that you can try it out, and then we can make informed choices on what we buy. You’re entertaining us and helping us in so many ways - Respect to you man ✊
I love what you just said…I don’t need anything else 😅pigs might fly 🐽! You lie!
There’s always something, always enjoy listening to your honesty, keeps it real for real folk who aren’t loaded and keeps it sensible too. Having said that me and hubby Checked out the Mountain Outfitters place and splurged a bit, we enjoyed that trip but I can’t get him to come camping with me, it remains a solo mission. I’m on the waiting list for a pink beenie Mrs M ❤🙏🏻
Like the longer, more relaxed format. Thank you for making it!
I bought some synthetic insulated trousers from an army surplus shop online. Cheap as chips. They function just like the insulated jacket. I was unexpectedly grateful for them on a recent trip to the East coast, UK.
My food principle is if I can't carry or cook what I want to eat, I'm not going. Needless to say I haven't camped out in over a year and there is no indication when I will go next.
Unfortunately Paul, some people just love to criticise, it makes then feel better and is usually a distraction from their own short comings. Jealously will also be a massive factor...... I know it's easy to say, but please try and put it all in context, I'd imagine for every 1 negative comment there'll be 100 positive. I like the fact that you get to showcase all sorts of gear, it lets me see what's what about a product and whether I'll look into it further. I live on a small island outside of the UK so it's not like I can just pop to the shops and get my hands on these products, pretty-much everything I get has to come to me by post via online retailers so it's great that thanks to channels like yours I can get to see the latest kit. I've got the Rab Argon down pants & the Montane Prism synthetic ones, and for me the Montane ones are excellent and pack a lot smaller. ATB
Thank you. I need to check out the prism pants.
Hi Paul, loved your comment about one of my heros: Indiana Jones. Neither of the new films are as good as the originals but im sure that Spielberg will be calling you soon. Would love to see a film of you being chased by a huge boulder out of a cave haha.
I also agree that the price of gear is extortionate. I have travelled and camped all over UK and in many countries around the world. I have to say that when Im in a particulaly poor country that I do feel guilty knowing that i might have forked out for one piece of kit that might be the equivelant to the value of a years wages (GBP30-40 per month in some countries).
Congratulations to your two daughters and thanks for the videos. They are better and more honest than many ive seen from other youtubers.
I’d have to put in the Indiana Jones at the top of the list for action heroes. I love the first three.
Keep being you Paul mate.
Yes, you can simmer with these...sort of but an MSR Dragonfly or Optimus Nova is better. I have the DF, Nova and the similar Soto Muka. I love all of these stoves and the Muka is great for rapidly heating or doing toast. The DF is half the power but has excellent control and ditto for the Nova. I still think the Soto Muka or Stormbreaker can be the stove for a trip but not if you want a low simmer. Nice video.
I should comment on 'messy' petrol stoves...well the Soto definitely is clean but petrol stoves are clean enough on pots provided you make sure it is fully primed first. The Nova is also easier to turn the bottle to 'off' or 'on' to clear the fuel line than the DF as it has a longer fuel line and is designed to be rotated to turn off the fuel while the MSR it is not an advertised feature and the fuel line is stiff and short. I was using the DF today in the bush and nearly lost my pot of water when I turned the bottle, this doesn't happen with the Nova.
Wayfarer meals all the way for me, great value and great food, if not enough chuck a packet of flavoured rice in with it 😊
Nice chilled out video Paul. Also good to see you using a multi-fuel stove. I used one for many years before flipping to gas. I do think in the depths of winter, the petrol stoves come into their own.
Absolutely right about the petrol stove. Greetings from Redwood National Park area in America
I used an Optimus Climber (SVEA) stove for years as a soldier until it fell apart. I had then a more modern multi fuel stove but last year went back to a new SVEA.
Imagine my disappointment when it wouldn’t turn off properly. I subsequently found out that SVEA have been ‘badge engineered’ and are now made in China and are now notorious for quality control problems. I’ve hence switched to gas.
Mind you, if there are any people who can repair, service, and rebuild my SVEA I’d be very grateful to find out…
Made me proper chuckle with the hair straightener story Paul 😂 great video pal 👍
Awesome video as always. You're a braver man than I to be camping in that wind! Ignore the haters, these are people who clearly have nothing better to do in life than cause pain and misery to other people by writing utter nonsense about topics they no nothing about. Your content is superb and you are honest about your sponsors and it's good to see that you don't just take the money to promote gear. Giving an honest non-biased view on gear from a seasoned veteran is far more valuable to an audience. Thanks again your content Paul.
Pepsi max for me tonight in my truck. Your videos are getting better every time you put one out.
I'm trying to get enough kit together for my daughter, 8, and I to start hitting the hills. Biggest thing stopping me is the price and my wife saying no. 😂
Nice long video that Paul. Ive got some NATUREHIKE down trousers. They are really warm but sized for short arses. Mine are XL (Im 34 waist) and were halfway up my shins. Ive got some running tights to wear underneath, taking a leaf out of Mr Beevers book. As for the stove, they do take some level of practice to operate without flaring on lighting. You can use some meths or alcohol gel on the burner head to preheat the gas tube to minimise this. But you cant beat them in the cold for getting a brew ready quickly and obviously melting snow. Flextail dropped a bollock with that pump, its a backward step to make a single use item, I'm sticking with my tiny pump 2X.
Im looking forward to when it gets colder, got loads of cold weather gear to test. Hope we get plenty of snow this winter.
I’d looked at the naturehike but don’t like the idea of ordering clothes from China. Faff when they don’t fit.
@PaulMessner I got mine off Amazon so returns no issue.
Alidi beer omg Cheers with a Wilde Child Humble Beginnings
cracking place that i love camping just to the left of the downfall at the top! can get a really nice view when the sunsets on a clear day
Great video. No idea where the last hour has gone. Very chilled, enjoyable viewing. Cheers Paul 👍
Petrol stoves….. not for me. Alot of faff for no actual advantage? il stick to my MiniMo 😀
Drinking the Brewdog Lost Lager myself tonight, great video as always🏕️⛰️
Lots of interest there, especially your musings on cost of stuff and your approach to reviews, sponsorship, etc. You are still the 'OG' Paul (as my kids say.....I'm told it stands for 'original gangsta' 🤔😉). Totally agree re dehydrated foods too. I've decided to approach them as a very occasional treat from now on. Best wishes, Chris .
That’s an odd term of endearment. Does it mean he’s been doing it awhile? I had to look it up in the urban dictionary…
@@larsvongraff5794 I take it to mean, the 'first and the best'. My daughter recently used it to describe next door's cat, Jasper, when his owners got a new kitten 😸.
Eh up Chris
Hope you’re well. I thought OG was old git 😂. Although I still think the likes of Dean Read and Dave’s Wildcamping were the originals. They got me in to this crazy hobby which has now totally changed my life. Yeah I’ve got to eat better now so scrapping the pack meals is a must. We’ll have to sort another camp out mate. I need to brush up more on my natural world skills.
Have a great week
Paul.
@PaulMessner Definitely up for another camp 👍
I cant speak to the Montane Prism pants exactly, but I have had a pair of Montane Flux pants for 8 years now. Basically the same as the Prism but with 60g/m2 of primaloft insulation vs the 40g/m2 of the Prism pants. Honestly they are one of the best bits of kit I own. Keeping my legs warm has been a game changer for comfort when hiking or camping. They unzip completely so they can easily be taken off or put on without removing boots. Just fantastic. I worry that I wont be able to find anything similar to them when they finally wear out. I don't believe Montane carry them as a product line anymore. I think the Respond pants are the equivalent now but I haven't used them, and they are more than double the cost of the Flux pants 8 years ago. I 100% recommended the Flux pants though.
Thanks. I’ll check them out.
Great vid as usual, I've got the same pump as you, I agree about the light and charging point being great so I'll stick with that I think. Sorry your still getting idiots on, really don't see the point, your out camping, reviewing gear, I'd be perfectly happy for you to be paid to use it, I know you're not, but I don't see any reason why it should bother anyone, other than jealousy, im on the shelf at the minute so i appreciate watching you do the things i want to do. . Keep up the good work mate
Enjoyed this video mate. Loved the little chat you did too. Down to earth normal bloke, that’s why I watch 👍🏻
Love your channel and content mate. We all watch it at work. Take no notice of the ****holes, keep up the great work 👍⚒️🏴
I really have enjoyed your stuff , ignore the negative comments.
Doing a brilliant job Paul👍I have done a few wildcamps, because of watching people like yourself 👍😉
Good to here someone talking truthfully about products
Respect, Paul. Rab Argon down pants. Get some 😎👍
Looking at the funding page the battery comes with a direct usbc charging point. Solid video my man keep it up 👍
Love that stove, a must for Piros everywhere.
Another great vid. Used multi fuels for a while now. Have to say they can be really dangerous due to leaks and blow outs. Much safer to use gas. They have a place in hard winters and snow melting as well as big multi day trips but not for shorter trips, its much better to use gas and a hell of a lot lighter. I dont use your alcohol stoves though.
Just wondering, have you considered commercially guiding small groups out on adventures for extra cash? It can be quite profitable . And you have a name for yourself now too.
This was one of the nicest videos ive seen of yours in a long time. I know it sounds corny but it was a bit like sitting there having a beer with you. I definitely enjoyed this one Thanks Paul nice one mate.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I couldn’t see the negative comments but I enjoy your videos Paul! I have rainy night camping vicariously through you!
My dad taught me years ago. If you haven’t got anything good to say…….
The beauty of Ytube is there’s thousands of videos.
Just turn the video off and watch something you would like. Simple
today i learned why my tent has 2 pole eyes it never occurred to me you could use double poles
Paul, Great video, really enjoyed it. I laughed out loud when you were discussing hair straighteners. Looking forward to you next episode 👍🏻🍻
My view on the ridiculously priced dehydrated camp meals is to keep one in your backpack as a reserve if for any reason you can't cook something yourself. In this country your never more than half a day away from a shop.
Great video Paul, many thanks. Enjoyed the rockside beer chat as well :-}
Keep up the Great videos. You do a Brilliant job, and I know I speak for so many people when I say they are just what we want. Honest, informative and really interesting. Good work Paul 👍👍👍
Been getting back into camping here in Australia (from Scotland) and really enjoy your videos and tips have been great as I've built my gear up. Watched as you quot working and jumped into the YpuTube full time. Very cool....and appreciate how hard work it is. You make me miss UK and the beauty of camping there and i look forward to returning one day. I think of doing RUclips content but i see the work you put in and I'll leave it to the experts :)
Got a flextail a little while ago.....so useful for fires 😂
You mentioned some warm kit / trousers for camp. I really like the OMM Mountain Raid Primaloft Gold synthetic insulation pants and smock. They can be zipped into a lightweight sleeping bag arrangement with the foot pod. I find this really really versatile as a layered system / modular system. One thing I don’t get on RUclips… I don’t see many folk using a bivy bag - add a few more degrees to your sleep system in combo with the aforementioned OMM Mountain Raid and a lighter quilt/bag for the colder months keeping everything ‘modular’ also the good old bivy can be a life saver on its own - I take one even with my TN AS2 Laser tent. 👍🏻
I’ve been camping a long time and I have never thought about doubling up the poles.
That’s why we watch your videos mate.
Me and my wife we don’t go wild camping. We have a roof tent that we like to use and we have been all over the place in it. We’ve done the NC 500 and at the moment we are camping in the North York Moors. We really enjoy watching your videos, we get a lot of useful hints and tips from you that we use when we go camping. So please keep up the great work that you do because we both really love watching your videos.
Been doing at least one weekend a month for about 2 years now. Keeps me sane 🙂 recovered from exhaustion at work a couple of years ago and found hiking to give me that tranquility I needed to keep on trucking...like last weekend. After my friend went to the tent I enjoyed an hour more, just in solitude...grateful for everything I got.
I'm transitioning into wintergear right now and bring forward following gear: hmg unbound 55, exped down7, EE revelation quilt, Bergans down jacket, pocket rocket stove, Hilleberg akto and Houdini beenie, for starters...
Tried petrol stove in tent...you need to keep your bearings of what your doing...could end badly 🫤
Keep up your videos. They are solid ground to watch and hope you a great autumn 👍
Thanks mate. Don’t think I’d bother with it in the tent unless I had a huge porch area.
Just to add to many fans Paul... I watch Scotland's Mountains, your mate Andy and Haze Outdoors a lot. All seem like cracking people spending time producing content. Your reviews, in my view, are excellent. I've followed many and yet to be let down, and end of the day it's my decision. Content is great too, always look fwd to the next one, keep it going. And great to hear you are now going live !!
I look forward to the tour !!! top man
Thanks for that and for your continued support 👍🏻
