A old man who has been camping all his life told me few years ago, it does not matter how good you are at camping, bushcraft, it only matters that you're out there enjoying it.

@GypsyGirl317 3 года назад

That's very good wisdom right there. 😊

@minhtannguyen5758 3 года назад

A trip is where you have fun, and enjoy, not a competition. The only thing that matters are you having fun and come back home safely, nothing else matter. And still somebody haven't understand this, they just go camp to "boast" (not share the memory and experience) about how amazing their trip are, how skilled they are. I don't see "fun" or "enjoy" in any of that.

@alimacey1404 4 года назад

Great video Paul! Personally, I couldn't car less about the advertising. The odd, 1 minute clip talking about square-space doesn't detract from the fantastic videos. You also mention a lot of brands, but I know you do this to recommend brands you think are solid. I have personally picked up a couple of items from Decathlon (Trail Runners and Down Jacket) and they are solid bits of kit, so I thank you for the recommendations. It would be amazing if you could go full time; we'd get a lot more content which is always a win. At the end of the day, this is a job like any other and you deserve to be compensated for you consistent high quality videos. While I was a hiker long before I found your channel, you have inspired me a lot and have been an important part of my journey as a backpacker! You're doing good work also getting more people to the hobby and promoting the right attitude to the outdoors, especially with the Leave No Trace principles. Sorry for the ramble; you are among my favourite channels period and I think its sad to see some of the negativity you've been getting. Keep doing what you're doing!

@thomaslord3907 4 года назад

At the age of 49, I did my first wild camp on the hill above Hope Cross last Friday. I think I'm an addict now although I did think someone was shing a torch in the tent at 2am. It was just the moon!

There's a "select few" RU-vidrs who've convinced me to get off my arse & again stick a pack on for more than a day hike. You're one of them, tbh. First trip is 2 nights next week, Settle to Ribblehead (very short days I know, but I have put a *lot* of timber on in the 25 years since I last did this kind of thing). Nervous, but I honestly can't wait.

@alexanderjonas2418 4 года назад

@xereeto 4 года назад

Just thought I'd chime in, I've never camped before but I've always had kind of a notion for it. I'm a photographer and first encountered your channel through your collab with James Popsys. That video, along with the others on your channel, convinced me that I need to get off my arse and start enjoying the outdoors. 2020 is hell. Being stuck in one place for so many months has been terrible for my mental health, and now that lockdown's over I'm acutely aware of how every free day I spend in my bedroom is a day wasted. I live in Scotland - a beautiful country and one where I'm blessed with the complete legal freedom to roam wherever I want. It's time to start making the most of that privilege. Yesterday I went to GO Outdoors and bought a bunch of stuff. Tomorrow I'm heading up to Glen Nevis and spending the weekend. Thank you.

The commercial stuff doesn't bother me at all. Keep doing your thing, "Mr Ambassador" 😊👍

Hello from Australia. Thanks for the video. I have subscribed and I've watched a number of your videos. You are right about camping being therapy. I used to hike when I was a teenager. Then when I could drive we went car camping which evolved to four wheel driving in some of the most remote places in Australia. Now I'm in my 50's and I want to get back into hiking with my son. Your videos are a great inspiration.

I am looking to get used to being outdoors as like you said the 9-5 job can get to you. i also think its humbling to take away those 4 protective walls, the heating, the convenience of being close to a shower, bathroom and kettle etc. The fresh air and silence is just a small benefit of being outside and really feeling like you are in nature, that you are part of it. What a beautiful spot that is but I do love my bigger 4 man tents. I am the only person that is interested in sleeping in tents for the above reasons. But I cant help it, I feel I need to do this to keep myself in check and appreciate all the comforts I have. Great vid too btw.

Loved the video. Camping is my therapy as well. All the best to you and your channel. Keep up the great work.

I've recently invested in some decent camping gear, and videos like this are the reason why. Getting out in nature is good for the soul, and it is certainly cheaper than therapy! Having dealt with mental health issues and addiction, I know first hand that camping is the answer. Big respect Paul, and I do hope that you can make this your full time job : )

Only came across your channel, I live in Ireland and have been camping since I was a boy, from Connemara to Kerry, Dublin to Donegal (I've summited Mont Blanc twice) and the message I get from you is it doesn't matter what you do, where you do it or how much it costs once your enjoying yourself! New subscriber and looking forward to seeing more! Continued success! Joe in Dublin :)

I was in the army for a few years so I've slept under a basha in woodblocks, but never stopped out in the hills on my own till a few months ago, so I started watching Paul's videos, such a massive help and insight to whats to pack and also expect. Now I've stopped in the peaks almost every weekend since! I agree with Paul a night in the hills just takes the stresses away. P.S paul, if I see you in a bar, I've got a pint for you!

Your video’s are great. I’ve always wanted to get out and camp in the wild but have never known its so easy (provided you stick to the very respectable rules). I’ll be buying some kit and heading to my favourite place in the world, the Lake District, as soon as we’re allowed out again to go and get a bit of this therapy you’re so happily lapping up! Keep up the brilliant work. 👍🏼

This is a really honest and refreshing video Paul! You’ve been a massive inspiration to me, and I’m indebted to you for all your advice and ideas! Cheers to the future!

So good seeing how much Paul loves it. Love the videos, commercial or not it’s great advice, weekend for the first hike camp and your advice has been invaluable to prepare and motivate. 90% if getting out for beginners is knowing what to do, the planning videos have been really handy!

Well done Paul. Keep going mate, you are doing the right thing. Loving the t-shirts, just waiting for my Does it get any better than this t-shirt to arrive. I've always enjoyed your content since discovering you and always end up gravitating back to your channel. You have inspired me to get out again over the years and I'm one of those 60 year old's! I had a bad hit and run accident ten years ago, left for dead at the side of the road and seeing people like you on RU-vid inspired me to get back out and enjoy life. Thank you, and others, for making me realise there is more to life than the drudge we normally encounter. Lovin' your work!

Glad you are enjoying the videos Colin. Good to hear that you are back at it again. Many thanks for the support and helping the shop get off the ground. Those T-Shirts are starting to go out the door from today. Much appreciated 😊
