Sandy is a top bloke. I’ve followed his channel for the last year or so. Such simple, uncomplicated guy. Unlike a lot of ‘tube posers. Forza, Sandy 👊.

A worthy candidate for a podcast. Sandy is such an interesting person with so many skills and interests and a great role model for us all in overcoming life's problems.

Paul & Sandy. Thanks for a great video, really well crafted and very inspiring! The best I have seen for some time.

What a LEGEND, fascinating and absorbing the best 52mins + 6secs of conversation on KZfaq. Great format, YOU must do more of this Paul as many other subscribers have mentioned Pat Dickinson, Dean Read, Solitary Rambler, and not forgetting Barnsley's finest Andy Beavers.

Paul I tip my hat to you for this conversation with Sandy ( sorry I stole your Thunder ( the saw scenario ) my apologies ) An absolute top conversation between two Legends 👏👏👏👍

For those old enough to remember. Sandy is the Jack Hargreaves of our time

Best podcast yet, listened to it while out riding my bike today 👍

One of the greatest knife makers without a doubt! I liked the analogy of VR. That’s how it feels sometimes when one’s immersed in a book.

Absolutely brilliant podcast. Really enjoyed learning about Sandy's life. Nice one Paul.

I could listen to Sandy all day long, what a great man. Excellent interview Paul. Stay blessed boys

Thanks Paul 👍 Good to hear Sandy ❤

I am really enjoying your podcasts Paul, they are excellent, more please. 👍

Paul what an amazing podcast / interview with the Wilshire Man. No BS, just two guys being very truthful with some heart-moving moments from Sandy especially about his schooling and overcoming his brain tumor. Despite some huge obstacles in his life, he has come a long way and achieved a lot more. What a great back-story, respect to both of you👍

Brilliant Brilliant , wow , Paul ,Sandy, this was a beautiful piece of video, humble practical chaps sharing their thoughts, the honesty was spell binding.

Good video Paul ,nice to see you guys get together ,and experience life in the country side,👍

Great video listening to men talking about real life feelings and expectations from young through mature life. Thank you😊😊😊

What a lovely podcast with Sandy and so enlightening. If you could get Pat Dickenson on as well it would make my day.

What an absolute legend. Really enjoyed this interview. I love watching his KZfaq channel. There are things that he said that I could relate to. Thanks Paul.

Brilliant podcast, I have met Sandy and he is a lovely man. You did a great interview Paul.

Absolutely love this one, I've watched Sandy's videos for years and love some of the little 'pearls of wisdom' that he comes out with and I like his approach to life and his ability to deal with the challenges thrown at him. This was great to learn a little bit more. I think this is shaping up to be a great series Paul. nice work. xx

Great video, Sandy is one of heroes, and the greatest knife maker in the UK in my opinion, and I'm lucky enough to own a Jacklore Classic work of art. Hoping to get a camp knife at some stage.

Two guys I regularly watch great vlog.. enjoyed learning about Sandy

Just brilliant. Both of you are fascinating and genuinely fine, fine people. Thanks for doing this - highlight of my day!

Two of my favourite KZfaqrs in one podcast. Just superb.

Fantastic, a very enjoyable watch

Really entertaining video Paul, like yourself Sandy is such a talented person. Well done, thank you and Stay Safe.

That came out really well Paul. I enjoyed watching the podcast very much:) Yes the offer for you to come down to Wiltshire is an open invite:) Sandy

Nice to hear two of my favourites chatting 🍻

Nice to learn a bit more about Sandy and all his interests 😉

Great podcast, Sandy is a very talented man, must have been wonderful chatting to him.

Congratulations Paul for a great podcast, your guest Sandy is an inspiration. Such a genuine and hugely talented individual whose love of the country just shines through on all his videos. The knowledge he imparts about the history of the places he visits is fascinating. I’m really lucky to own one of his knives, really functional but also a work of art, a really prized possession. Great to see the two of you enjoying each other’s company.

Hi there big fan of your channel,just started wild camping up here in central Scotland my local area is the Ochil hills (Brave heart country )I've picked up a lot a lot of tips on here it is my passion in life now after an illness stopped me doing Munro's (118 ) but I noticed you brought up mental health in this and saw other you tubers wild campers say the same ,the nagging doubts the uncertain of going out etc .all I can say thank you for making me realise I'm not the only one that has the bad days with the as we say in Scotland,The Heid .I really enjoyed this video and thought it was really interesting more please .Thanks again.

Fortunate to own a Jacklore Bushcraft Classic knife, his work is the best of the best!!

Hi Paul, found your channel via Sandy’s and love the content. Cool podcast !

Great chat with Sandy. Wiltshire man a great channel well done both

That was great Paul, Sandy is a legend and a really interesting chap to listen to.

Great podcast very interesting gentlemen, I must say I got a lot of my hobbies and interests from my grandads

I am the same when reading Paul. I really can't get into any book. I am 34 and can say I have never read a book fully. Audiobooks and podcasts are for me. Glad I am not the only one 😊😊

He is a lovely person sandy I wish there was more like him Good video

Great chat from two of my favourites, absolutely brilliant, thanks guys. But Paul, please don't fiddle with the camera or look at your watch. 😀

Thank you - A lovely man..

Sandy’s one of the most interesting people I watch, id love to have a few pints with him

I'm lucky enough to have my own small piece of woodland and have camped with Sandy a couple of times. Always a pleasure as the conversation flows easily and I always learn something new. Definitely a latter-day Jack Hargreaves, although I'm not sure JH would have strapped a motor to his back and headed for the skies. 😁

What a fantastic podcast. I could listen to sandy all day. Love his outlook on life and his thought process. Brilliant content.

Great video sandy I live 40 miles south of Aberdeen any time you’re up this way feel free to pop in by

Great video lads. Just to give you both hope at 72 I still enjoy motorcycling cycling & walking. Not going to be easy but I also want to get back to my first love running soon. You only get old when you stop doing it.

I think this is one of your best pieces of content ever. This discussion touched me deeply. Sandy is a most soulful sort of man and you drew that out. I’ve never watched his content but now I must!

What a great podcast, very enjoyable.

Paul - A superb podcast with the one and only...Sandy! (atb Martin)

What a really interesting podcast with Sandy after watching his videos over the years Who needs a TV when you have people like your self and Sandy on KZfaq

Fascinating chat thanks both

Lovely to see the pair of you All the best for Xmas and I hope 2024 is fantastic for both of you

Brilliant and blimey Sandy can’t half talk 👍

Enjoyed that, and they say men dont talk, haha.

Brilliant. Sandy, one thing I learned raising kids and grandkids, if you are worried about how their parents may raise them, keep doing your bit. It may take a while but sooner or later the kids will realize you are the mentor they should follow.

Brilliant podcast - it felt like it was 10 minutes. I’ve had the privilege of meeting Sandy, hopefully one day I’ll meet you too. All the very best Paul 👍👍

Just pointed out to my wife that although I’m a Sandy from Aberdeen too, I may not be related due to the importance of the SURNAME!

What an interesting man Sandy is. Really enjoyed this episode.

Good one

Absolutely brilliant Podcast Paul. I have been waiting for it since watching the trip video. Great to hear Sandy’s background. He is an amazing guy. It appears we have a lot more in common than just hiking and camping, though it sounds like his morse is far more advanced than mine. To be fair I haven’t used my Ham Radio gear for a few years now since I took up flying. My wife also had an Acoustic Neuroma which completely killed her hearing and balance on her left side - which is why we had to give up serious hillwalking. All the best 😊

Another great and interesting podcast, keep them coming 👌

Tell sandy to get the Berghaus dynax paclite waterproof jacket 👍

An other very good and interesting podcast, great respect to this gentleman going into mountains and in the cold and enjoying it 👍, I think this podcast was hard not to drink a couple of pints !

Both great lads 👍👍

Hi Paul one thing about Sandy is he can talk👍👍. It was great listening to your discussion I think the only subject Sandy did not get round to was his love for his dogs. A great listen thanks.

Nice video ...

Fantastic, Sandy is such an interesting intelligent guy to listen to. Thanks for airing this and as someone has said, please try and get Pat Dickenson on aswel. Cheers Paul👍

I've thought of another you could interview....Black Crag. Really enjoy his vids.

One of my sons is an Alexander, I nickname him Sand😅

Gimli (from LOTR) is the dwarf, voiced with a Scottish accent, but played by a Welshman. Cracking chat guys.

I will put the word out to warn people there is a messner coming to the west county 😂😂

👋🏼

I've read voraciously at times, though in recent years, I have strayed more toward the quick KZfaq sources of information such as Paul mentioned. Like Sandy, I also have experienced the disappointing film portrayals of books that had totally engrossed me when I read them. That said, I wanted to mention a counter example even though I understand that not everyone will agree. I found Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" much more compelling, and entertaining, than its inspiration, the Phillip K. Dick novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

Excellent content, but not enough BUNS. 😉👍

In any other age Sandy (Alex) would be a God or a Cheiften and probably end up in a Long Barrow of his own.

Well this has to be the best podcast I've watched, Sandy is a testament to real life skills, to thinking for yourself, gathering real world knowledge. I think the thing I'm getting at is Low Tech, proper skills that do not involve a computer. What a journey he's been on. Just brilliant Paul. a Hard act to follow for sure.

What a LEGEND, fascinating and absorbing the best 52mins + 6secs of conversation on KZfaq. Great format, YOU must do more of this Paul as many other subscribers have mentioned Pat Dickinson, Dean Read, Solitary Rambler, and not forgetting Barnsley's finest Andy Beavers.
