You do not know the inspiration that you are to someone like me, I've had a shit 2 years mate, to help myself I got back into fishing, coarse and sea, bought myself a kayak, I love that, but I paddle out regardless of fishing I just paddle out till I can hear nothing of this world we live in, sometimes I just sit for hours listening to nothing less my own heart beat, you remind me of me when I was younger, I'm almost 60 now, and have been beaten into submission by life itself, I love you're channel, it has reignited my fire, and for that I thank you, everything you do, I used to do, and I promise you even at 60 I am going to do again, thanks to you 😉 I'm not you're usual 60 year old mind you, I am 59, see like I'm 29, act like I'm 29, look probably I'd say 38 🤣🤣 I still work hard so never seem to find the time, but believe me I will find the time, thank you so much.
Just up my street, wild camping and fishing. Don't worry about picture quality as someone mentioned as it is fine and in my mind the subject matter is the most important and you certainly cracked that . Thanks for putting the time and effort in 😊 Graeme
Appreciate that Graeme, some of the poor quality was from a corrupt file I managed to save, but still decided to add it. Glad you liked the vid and thanks for your comment
Mint, been a lure angler for many years, been a hammock camper for a few years, been a kayak angler on and off…these videos are inspiring me to bring it all together! You seriously need to try a down underquilt, absolutely game changing. Chinese water deer or Muntjac deer barking👍
Do it! It's a great feeling and better if you eat what you catch rather than pot noodles🤣 I reckon you're right about the under, a sleep mat is warm enough but easy enough to slide off it.
HMust admit, it didn't sound like a dear I'd heard before, it did take me 5 mins to get my head sorted. Wish I'd caught it on camera but search for sika dear call and that will give you an idea of the noise.
Aww mate living the dream there, that's the life cany beat camping and fishing 🙌 🎣 . You've got all the gear a think am going to start investing in a kayak cause that video looked the business glad you got some nice fish for the effort you put in good on you slippy look forward to more videos stick in man 👊
I got home and looked up deer calls and Muntjack seemed to be the closest, but didn't think they were as far north as scotland. Could easily be wrong though
@@SlippyLimpets they seem to be all over not sure about up that end but here in lincolnshire they do really well it does sound like one to me but I'm no expert lol 🦌
Hi slippy remember where there are deer you'll get ticks always check constantly limme disease can be a killer or serious health problems if Unchecked.
Thanks for the advice! Had plenty of ticks over the years and very paranoid about them, especially after a climbing trip to Arrochar, had to strip off in the car park after finding the mother load. Horrible little things!
What a video. Amazing . Man after our own hearts . We camp fish n kayak here in Cornwall very often . Wild camping as you did and steath van kitted out for fishing . Nothing in this world beats it for me n my son . Stay safe
Nothing beats getting away from the crowds and the kayak provides access to great marks. For me, and sounds like you, the process of fishing is more important than catching! Tight lines👍🎣
Hi mate, I've not looked through the comments but that noise you were hearing at 22:20 is a Roe Deer bark, alarm bark. I hunt deer and hear this all the time.
Most people thought it was a fox but I wasn't sure. I heard some crazy noises at night and all I could find, in terms of the noise, was a Sika deer. Seems if that was a Roe deer then there seems to plenty of deer about this area!
Brilliant video mate loved every minute. .bet you did too! ! Some crackin fish and very nice wild campin set up, never thought of a hammock gonna give it a try. . . Keep em coming stay safe n tight lines 👍👍😎🎣🎣
I was a mint trip and will definitely be doing more videos like this next summer. Hammocks are a great way of camping, just as long as there's some trees around 😀 tight lines mate 👍🎣
Happy I can offer a bit inspiration. You're right about that bass, would have been much more enjoyable than the pot noodles I had. Hope you get on a trip soon
Great videos mate, keep them coming. Always fancied kayak fishing, its getting popular, just doing it on your own seemed a bit dangerous to me, but youve got all your safety equip and doing it in great conditions
Loving your vids. A true explorer. One thing....be really, really careful on the Tick front. They are increasing in numbers, and it only takes one to potentially change your life forever . Lymes is out there. Appreciate the hassle you go to making these vids. Makes for enjoyable watching. 👍
Aye, great advice I absolutely hate ticks, have had plenty on me in my time and do a tick search every night before I climb into the hammock. Long trousers are a must as well. Glad you liked the vid!
More wild camping fishing trips please Nathan That Bass certainly made the the trip worth it Seemed pretty hard going strange no Mackie's about, I was hitting some massive schools in June on the South Devon coast.
The lack of mackerel was weird, I thought there would be loads around in August when this was filmed. Hopefully will be doing plenty more vids like this next spring and summer.
Looks like you had an awesome time out there! Some good fishing on the kayak, love seeing nice bass 👍🏼 Pot noodles 🤮 😂🤣 Nice setup for your camping, esp toilet roll holder 😂 Thanks for the the video, really enjoyed it, felt like a 30 mins video lol 😎👍🏼🎣
Yeah I know what you mean about those noodles mate, thinking of trying some more adventurous food next time round. Maybe even eat one of my catches!! As always, thanks for your support👍👍👍👍
@@SlippyLimpets bar of snickers and a pack of crisps usually does me lol Off to Tenby tomorrow for 2 nights, taking a spinning rod to see if I can catch my 1st bass, wish me luck 😎👍🏼🎣
Awesome video mate, and some real nice fish and I understand the back ache situation when in a yak over 5hrs 😩, it's worse still when you get to shore and people watch you trying to get out and stand up haha
Aye, the old stiff back and wobbly leg syndrome!! Kayak fishing is definitely worth the agro though. Thanks again for watching and your comment. Tight Lines!
I'll have a protein bar 🤣 you chucked god knows how many protein bars back into the sea 🤣 I'm only jesting youngen, but if you're wild camping get wild 🤘😉
Slippy walks into Cotswolds and says to the Assistant “I’ll take it”. The Assistant looks confused and replies “sorry sir, take what?”. “Everything” 👍🏻 Awesome video mate, a proper adventure, loved all the different aspects of it, kit talk, setting up camp and of course the fishing. Quick question. I haven’t caught one, but someone told me that sea trout are a better fighting fish than Bass. Have you caught one and if so, what is your opinion? Stay safe and take more water next time or purification tablets 👍🏻
Haha, it does look like that on the video but I've been going wild camping for years so have most of the kit already. Only thing that is new is the hammock. I've caught a couple of seatrout and they do fight exceptionally hard. Not caught enough to say to say which species is the hardest fighting though. Glad you liked the video. Tigh lines!!
Cheers buddy, thanks for the view. I’ve done a little wild camping, it’s pretty cool, particularly when it’s coupled with fishing. Keep making those videos
Great content keep up the great work maybe you could fish some mark everyone knows like sunderland nd southshields way ??? Keep up the great work all the best
Glad you liked the video, but this area is quiet for a reason and I’d like to keep it that way. Last thing it neads is for is to be splashed about on social media. Hope you understand👍👍
Maybe should have kept..... Erm not the bass, they are too nice to eat, maybe one of the pollock but I don't like eating them 🤣🤣 it's gods pantry, you eat what you like to eat 😉🤘
I'm using my usual 8,6 Slash Lamya Thief, 4-28g but I'm looking at getting a shorter spinning rod since 8.6ft is a bit long to manage on the boat, fancy something at about 7ft. I get a lot of tip wrapps, especially when using top water.
I was hoping to do a catch and cook as well but 2 of the 3 bass were too small and the big one would have been wasted on me. Hopefully next time though.👍
Nasty mate! Broke mine this summer and it took me a while to track a replacement down. Give the distributor a shout, they should be able to help www.masterlinewalker.co.uk/rovex-specialist-kayak-rods.html
Thanks for getting on board and glad you like the channel. I used to lug loads of batteries about and it is was a nightmare, but now I tend to use powers banks and have a gopro battery charger so I use 2 batteries- one in the camera and one on charge at all times.
That coffee in the morning is the best bit. Im just watching it and thinking “fuc* yes thats good life!” ;D great video mate p.s. you need to up your camera quality game :)
Ps, forgot to mention the picture quality is shit 🤣🤣, I never noticed fuck all to be fair, my head was just behind your's all the way mate, how can anyone watch a vid like that then complain about the picture quality, when my numbers come up, I'll send Steven Spielberg with you next time 🤣 you are my new best mate, tight lines kidda.
Eyup Nathan. You're clearly a seasoned outdoorsman and it looks like you've got almost every bit of kit you might want to poke a stick at there but if you truly wish to have it comfortably large by land and sea you need to get 'Badger-off!' This is an app that plays a loud but subsonic audio loop of lairy squirrels taunting a seasick weasel that they've tied to a long wobbly spring for the afternoon in the squirrel embassy basement. It successfully shoos away our monochromatic mustelid friends three seasons out of four and is particularly effective at sea. 'Sika Sickener' is undergoing product development but the squirrels want more money. Early assessments with a Muntjak in an Imax cinema showing 'Gordon's Bumper Fun Scottish Game Special' are ongoing and tests with a Dik-Dik up a pole surrounded by Chihuahuas will not be legal until after brexit but are showing promise. Keep that quiet. That Bass was mint of course and thanks for the epic adventure - David Lean would b proud. I'll sithi after, Dave
Dave, you are a legend!! I always look forward to your comments, they make my making of these videos worthwhile. Btw I'm especially interested in the Sika app since it was one of those blighters who kept me awake on the 2nd night. Tight lines!👍🎣
@@SlippyLimpets It might not be cheap - the price of fresh Chihuahuas is going through the roof. It looks like I won't get to the coast anytime soon so I'll be very grateful if you can keep going for me. Well done that man. Dave
Theres no such thing as 'wild camping' unless you have permission, all found on my land get a shotgun reception, nice piccies and a summons. We are being plagued by this in Northumberland, be aware if caught you will be evicted and fined, and we all keep a very close watch on you anyway. Get a campsite, you have now filmed yourself doing something illegal silly boy, this includes camper vans in laybys, our cops love an easy nick at 0300 lol.
@DavidOldboy54 I'm from Northumberland and totally get your point, the number of people and litter has skyrocketed in our county since the pandemic began. However, this trip was actually filmed in Scotland, which according to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, and is perfectly legitimate especially since I asked the landowner for permission beforehand. The reason I don't give away locations is to avoid overcrowding because of the so-called influencer effect. Unfortunately, because of your comment, I've now had to publish the general location.
@@SlippyLimpets sorry mate but it is now out of control since the end of lockdown. Kielder area especially suffering, illegal camp fires and rubbish. All of you note we deal with this severely in Northumberland, get a camp site or suffer the consequences if caught.
