A Whisky and a Wet & Windy Wild Camp to Celebrate!

Рет қаралды 3,401

3 ай бұрын

Seven weeks after starting the channel I reached 1,000 subscribers. I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone that has subscribed to the channel and helped the channel grow, the support I've received has been awesome!
To celebrate we (Me & Toby) headed to the Black Mountain Range in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. I enjoyed a couple of glasses of whisky in the comfort of my tent whilst Mother Nature done her thing outside. It was a great night's camping.
Update: I figured out the watch hours on my channel. After looking at the analytics in more depth, I realised I haven't lost them. I'll explain this in my next video.
Thanks for stopping by,
Ryan.

Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. I like the cooking segment with all the fresh ingredients and the little treat you give yourself with the whisky and cake. Toby seems like a lovely dog and is very well cared for. I have only just discovered your channel, I watched the bothy one first and I'm slowly working my way through the rest. You deserve the 1,000 subscribers.

Great to see you back! The camp was fab to tag along on, you have some stunning scenery. Both your and Toby's dinners looked amazing; it was cool hearing you chat about why you started the channel and am happy to have been an early adopter! It would be interesting to know more about how you learned your skills and found your joy in camping. Looking forward to next time! As for the intricacies of you tube, it could be worth contacting Andy of Kent Survival channel. He has been on for about 8 years and seems like a top bloke.
