Errigal, Ireland’s Most Beautiful Mountain - Van Camping Ireland, Day 1 

Find out What I REALLY THINK about the barefoot boots: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mXbHp9VL1Cg.html

I know that inertia condition. It manifests itself often, in my life. I loved model airplanes as a boy. The more I wanted a certain model, the longer I'd have to leave it in my room, unopened. More common than we think, perhaps?

What a beautiful mountain. What you described is almost what I feel sometimes. I love planning walks and I really look forward to them but when the day comes I often just don't feel like going and I'll make excuses as to why I'm not going. I really have to push myself. Its daft as I know as soon as I'm walking I feel great.

That was a great video. Superb sunset. Watch it all. Cheers from Norway 🙂👍

Fab..fab…fab. Thanks for your honesty…it has inspired me to 1. To climb Mount Errigal and 2. To show everyone that it is ok to have an ‘off day’ or moment and 3. How to make an awesome toastie lol. Brilliant video Stephen, keep doing what you’re doing 👍

The colours…the layers….the textures…the anticipation! What a toastie!😮 Great video Stephen. You take me places I have been, places I am even familiar with, and you make me want to go back and next time see for myself some of what you capture for the screen. With Errigal I think it’s the loneliness and the silence. I feel I was with you, even to the extent I got the feeling it was me getting back to the cosy van as the light faded. Looking forward to part two.

Sorry I’m so late watching this. I’m playing catch up with some of my favourite content. 😊 When you were talking about that difficulty getting started it made me think about PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) so I thought I’d mention it in case it helps to make sense of the thing.

Really like your videos Stephen

I used to go down the scree at the top between the 2 summits to Dunlewey but it's all washed out now.

Lovely video, the sunset shots was nothing short of mastery. Thanks for your candor. I recognize the sense of stagefright all to well. I almost quit making videos because of the same feeling since it only got worse when I started editing. Today I'm thankful that I pushed through that sense of discomfort. I don't know if you alreday got the answer to why the wind dies down at sunset... but it's because the temperature difference between land and a large body of water. In daytime the sun warms land faster than water and you get a seabreeze, around sunset land and water have the same temperature since land cools of much faster and the breeze dies down at the equlibrium. During the night when land drops even further in temperature you get a landbreeze in the other direction. Rinse and repeat. Cheers!

Wow beautiful video, amazing you still have light so late. Apart you being super fit compared to me, is there a setting in the DJI mic not to pick up puffing 😅

Stephen, thanks for always being so open and honest. It’s nice to know that the pre-video depression isn’t as uncommon as i was imagining. Your films are marvelously shot and brilliantly produced but I do have 1 complaint. You’ve made it impossible for me to see a sheep without hearing your “Hi Sheep” in my head! Keep inspiring good sir!!

HI Stephen , the feelings you described are very common , prople just dont admit it so thanks for putting it out there , keep up the great video work 👍

Epic hike

Love your honesty and really enjoy your videos, thank you❤❤

Wow what a view! I appreciate that you do push through, I really enjoy your videos 🖤

Visiting ireland for work next year. Hope to join in the hiking fever. A small suggestion, use gaelic or old english when showing the scenery. All the best in your next adventures

Class mate. When I was up there I couldn't see a thing haha

As always Stephen you produce wonderful content and stories. Unfortunately I feel like that everyday. Keep on enjoying what you do as you bring so much joy to everyone.

Absolutely brilliant again. The channel is a breath of fresh air and I'm thankful you do push through because the result is excellent. It looked like a tight wee summit but the views were just stunning and hopefully worth the wait. Again, absolutely brilliant stuff and I look forward to seeing more.

Life and human nature just isn't......but how you captured that Donegal landscape just about is....thanks for 18 minutes of beautiful escape.....love your work Steven,

Great video as always. What you're describing is anxiety. I have it pretty severely. Sometimes to the point of panic attacks. Glad you're able to work through it. It has, in the past, caused me to give up some client work. It's not fun.

Thank you for your honesty. I think there is many of us that feel that way and not necessarily only in regards to filming. Ever time i go for a hike (or most times ) it takes me hours to get ready...not because it takes me hours but because i keep feeling like cancelling ..Once i am out on the mountains or in the forests I love it but getting there is the mission. And also thank you for bringing us along for the wonderful sunset and views.

Ive stood there many times getting glimpses through the mist, thanks for sharing that sunset.

10:35, I know what you are talking about I have this with various projects, like writing a personal web site entry, or writing a paragraph for a book, or even playing a computer game - barely have the wish to do it, the only case when I am fully ok committing though is taking a drone with 1 battery with myself for a hike, however when there are some people around cant be bothered to fly it, it's a brain thing, the brain prefers to do nothing and avoid stress and hibernate instead 😂

Fantastic video! I must visit Ireland, you're showing us incredibile landscapes and trekking routes! I also sometimes get very grumpy even a bit angry for some reasons when I start one of my video projects, somehow it seems as a lot of effort for nothing or I'm already displeased but the results, but at the same time I really love shooting new videos and editing them. I think it has something to do with the creative process, it's a lot of rubber banding our brain! 😁

Great video, you captured the epicness of Errigal well. I can relate with that initial lack of motivation at the start of a project.

Yeah, rays make it (much) better! :-)

Amazing views. Thanks for taking us with you 😊

An epic video..Once again the quality of your video and vision are superb. As for the problem of getting out and making the video, I know where you're coming from. It's appended to me on and off over the last 40 years that I've been shooting sport for local paper...I arrive at venue and basically want to go home. Once the camera is out then I'm OK. Thanks again for the video and look forward to the next episode. Best wishes

Great video, as always, Stephen. I think most of us feel overwhelmed when we start projects. I've been doing my podcast over 4.5 years and I still feel like I sometimes don't want to start doing research for an episode. I sometimes feel stressed over it too. But I always talk myself into and it turns out ok. I believe it's part of the human condition. Things that really matter to us cause us the most stress. If they didn't matter to us, they wouldn't be such a big deal.

Loved the video as always, please keep making them, I look forward each week to your new videos!

Great video you have inspired me to go here

Brilliant Stephen, love Errigal

Wow, opening shots are simply spectacular my friend. This looks brilliant!

Visually stunning, beautifully edited...and that toastie looked freakin delicious! 😂

Unbelievable video as always Stephen. I came for the summer solstice (which was brilliant) but took some great advice out of the video. Love the channel.

Oh my goodness. Those views…jaw droppingly beautiful.

Another fantastic video Stephen.👏👏 You should try Arranmore island the next time you are over over this way. 😎

Wow nice sir.. I like it😃.. Beautiful view❤

I get what you mean Stephen . I have a load of footage and a few videos sitting to upload , then I watch them and think , no one will be bothered wanting to watch them so end up not posting lol . Found that I just like flying the drone about and editing that lol . Also had a great hares gap video to start editing but found out my sound was ruined with a cracking noise 🙈. If I ever got to your level of film making I would be amazed at myself . Don’t knock yourself , your editing is next level 👌

1:40 - Your lav mike combined with your choice of shirt makes you look like you’re wearing a super hero shirt. Until the next close up shot showing the object was a mike,, I thought it was a superhero shirt. You also obviously have an eye for color given your color grading in your compositions. You definitely like red, but I’m left to wonder if you chose a bright blue backpack for additional contrast rather than a complimentary or same color to coordinate your adventure wardrobe? 3:25 - That looks incredibly…..healthy. Superb presentation. Not enough to convince this American that I should give that a go. Incidentally, your country is incredibly scenic and beautiful. I want to visit Ireland one day, but until then, you do an amazing job of really REALLY making me want to make it out there.

LOVED THE VIDEO! CANT SAY ENOUGH HOW MUCH I ENJOYED!!! Are you getting the new Sony ZV-1 Mk II ? If yes, cant wait to see you review it! Another thing : What camera did you use while shooting the scene at 0:16 or 12:40 ? And whats the song at 1:00 ....

Great video Stephen ..what boots are you wearing

Sorry shoild have read....Life and human nature just isn't perfect....thanks for a perfect morning.

Try Wim Hoff method

Wonderful! What's the song at 00:57?

Question answered lol😂

Stephen, I think what you're describing sounds like pathological demand avoidance, a feature of ADHD. It doesn't seem to stop you from doing and videoing some awesome stuff!
