Hi Patricia, Hey what lovely words...Thank you so much, it's the first time anyone's ever said I have a gentle and soothing voice...How lovely of you thank you🤗 Hey as long as I dont bore you to sleep heheh! 😂😉 Love that you shared your memories with me about when you were a girl that you would find comfort alone out in nature, you were just like me.. Oh yes the rainfall and listening to it pitter patter on the tent or tarp is truly wonderful isn't it. Getting all snug and warm and lying back is the pinnacle of a good wild camp, as it's done nothing but rain here..In fact it's raining at this very moment heheh! Thank you very much about my attempts at poetry😂I try my best as it's not normally something I'd do. Do you write poetry? I fully understand about how you live your life and find it's more complete with animals rather than other people. I'm of the same as you again and have very few folk around, but those I do I love very dearly. Love that ' rainbow bridge' what a sweet way of talking👍 Oh so you've seen things in the sky also, that's cool I'd love to hear about it some time Patricia. Thank you again for sharing your experiences and thoughts with me, you're so sweet 🤗🌳🌳🌳🌳 Hope you've had a nice day, all the very best to you 🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳🌳 Mike

Hi Simon, heheh! Glad you noticed that little comment😂👍🏻🥪🍔🥓 I dont normally eat that much when not wild camping.....Honest! 😉😂 Thank you for watching and here's wishing you a great weekend Simon All the very best Mike

Hi there, aw thank you that's a truly lovely thing to say..🤗🌳🌳🌳 It's all about the peace yes, to be able to switch off to lifes unnatural problems in unnatural times. Hey cool you're really welcome! Glad to have helped you...Ah the dc3 they are quite a bit smaller than the dc4 aren't they, that's another reason I made the leather on my dc4 a strop👍🏻 dc3's are really fine kit though, great to carry with a legal non locking knife. Hey let me know how you get on with your dc3 please, you should have an awesome edge in no time Thank you for watching and such lovely words Urban💎Girl, its really appreciated All the very best 🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳🌳 Mike

Hi Jimmy, glad you nodded off to sleep all relaxed listening to the rainfall mate. It really does make for a great wild camp when its a wet one. All the very best my friend Mike

Hi Chuck, great to hear you enjoyed watching my friend thank you. We sound very similar in our thoughts, and yes those trangia triangles are superb in every way. Heheh good job we enjoy the rain so much isn't it Chuck👍🏻😊👍🏻🌧🌳🌳🌳 Wow you have some serious weather over there to contend with, I'd love to wild camp in a tropical storm! That really would be epic, very testing but hey it's good to push ourselves and learn from experience. I completely agree owls and rainfall are awesome to hear whilst out on a camp my friend. Thank you very much for watching it's really appreciated Here's wishing you all the very best Mike

Hi Kirk, thank you my friend....One of my favourite locations, quite a trek to get to but definitely worth it. Thank you for your kind words Kirk they're really appreciated 🌳🌳👍😊🌳🌳 Hope you had a great Christmas, here's wishing you a wonderful 2020 Mike

Hi there, thank you mate much appreciated 🤗🌳🌳🌳 Yes everything is going on a downward spiral and I get no joy from talking about it, it's mostly the rich and their unquenchable greed and lust for power. These type only look after their own, the 'get rich as quickly as possible attitude' and tread on other people whilst do so is sickening. No thought for others including the earth and her long term health whatsoever. Agreed my friend the Autumnal and winter weather is lovely, all the seasons have their own individual beauty Thank you very much for watching, here's wishing you all the very best Mike

Hi Matthew, thank you mate that's awesome of you to say👍🏻😊👍🏻 I just be myself, no hidden agendas here etc...What you see is what you get, a bald bloke enjoying the woods and trying his best to share what he see's and feels. Matthew, thank you for such a lovely comment mate its really appreciated believe me🤗🌳🌳🌳🌳 All the very best to you Mike

Im here for that too, in the beginning I found ''bushcraft / wild camping'' through one of those ''this is my dayjob'' channels, I now never watch that or any channel like that, I prefer channels like Mike and others who are small and as you say, more down to earth - basically if Mike had 100k subs, I can see him still being the same person and thats what makes a good channel. Cheers MKH

Hi Barbara, thank you so very much....I do hope you are safe and well. Thanks again, much appreciated Mike

Hi Lee its all good whatever the choice of shelter you choose, as long as it's effectively keeping you out the elements warm and dry. Thanks for watching mate All the very best Mike

Hi there mate, thank you very much its really appreciated. Sixteen hour night shift! Wow now that's some serious overtime! I used to work twelve hour nights and that was more than enough lol. Oh lovely kit waiting for you at the end of your shift, definitely well earnt mate👍🏻 Ah thank you, lovely to hear that I and others have inspired you to get back out there in the wonderful countryside. Oh yes rainfall is the most soothing sound there is isn't it mate...Pure bliss! 🌳🌳🌧😊🌧🌳🌳 Thank you for watching and your lovely comment, happy wild camping All the very best Mike

Hi Tone, hey thank you mate glad you enjoyed watching😊👍...You make filming worthwhile. All the very best to you, stay safe Mike

Hi Jon, aw thank you so much! What a super lovely comment from your good self. That's it Jon, fear not the woodlands and forests they belong to us all not just the wealthy landowners. But we must always respect the landowner and of course the woodlands themselves, if discovered then if your camp is tidy and no litter to be seen then you're set for the best possible outcome if you've been discovered. To find those lovely peaceful spots as you know you've got to get as far away from any trail as possible. To places where the only trails around are made by animals and not humans. All I can do is thank you for your kind words, and wish you all the very best for now and the future. I'm sure youll find work but if you have to claim dole money there's no shame in that mate. This is just a turning point in your life and I'm sure things shall change for the better. Obviously I hope (I'm sure you are) that you're not far from fresh water and ready for the frosts. Thank you for talking to me about what you're doing, I do hope that others know of your whereabouts Jon. The darkest and longest of tunnels cannot go on forever, light is always at the end of any tunnel my friend. Please keep intouch with me and anyone else. Take care, be safe and never sleep cold... Bless you 🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳🌳 Mike

Hi Mike, sorry for the very late reply!! Have only just seen your lovely kind message. Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me! I am OK now thanks, have found a place that gives me free rent in return for a couple of hours cleaning in the morning, so have a base to build from now thankfully. Was wild camping for about 6 weeks only and the weather was damp but not really cold. Found a lovely spot in the woods north of Chichester. Wonderful listening to the deer and foxes barking at night and the owls screeching, the wind blowing through the branches. Knowing that you are the only one hearing it all is a real privilege. I never slept so well TBH. I bought 2 cheap sleeping bags and put one inside the other so was plenty warm at night. Surprised actually how good some of the cheap gear is nowadays compared to when I was younger. Tent was large enough to be comfortable but was not really strong enough. Unfortunately the inner tent material was a delicacy to woodmice so ended up with more ventilation than I desired... You are so right Mike water is the most important and lugging it into camp is worth the effort. Bought a Trangia after watching your videos and they are fantastic. Cheapest fuel from Toolstation;worth buying a big bottle of methylated spirits. Lasted me a couple of weeks with heavy use. Have a new respect for homeless people now. The downward spiral is very rapid; in one week only you can face despair. But there are still a few good people out there that care(people like you Mike)! If anybody finds themselves in that situation just try to stay focused and keep your self respect and discipline. Stay organized and keep planning and building for future health and well-being. Living in the peace and tranquility of the woods rebuilds a broken spirit and gives you valuable, undisturbed thinking time. Thanks Mike, leaving no trace and cleaning up the campsite is very important. Not only is it the decent thing to do but also is very pleasing to the eye! Anyway Mike, thanks again for the kind words and I look forward to all your upcoming videos in 2020 and wsh you many years of happiness both out in the wilds and also in your personal life with family and friends. Very best wishes to you. Cheers, Jon.

Hi there, hey fantastic to hear you enjoyed the video I never intended it being that long! I think I just usually edit a little heavier than I did with this one...Guess it gives more of a raw feel this way. Ah yes the UFO that really was so very strange that night, no breeze no sound and no other people or traffic. It's quite near a main road that has plenty of traffic, not in that evening though...Seemed like it went on forever but only an instant lol, one experience I'll not forget. A ghost encounter, well maybe I could of added something along those lines but definitely nothing as solid as the UFO'S or whatever they were. Thank you very much for your kind words, awesome to hear you enjoyed watching...Thank you🤗🌳🌳🌳 Here's wishing you all the very best Mike

Hi Diana, very cool thanks for sharing! Such nice info you gave us here. about mushrooms I started foraging early 2019 so I am still new to this but this Autumn (Fall) was great! I finally got my first Boletus and Giant Puffballs! plus all of the other fungi whether edible or not, unfortunately in / around London UK we had a seriously droughty start to the summer season and hence the May / June period for mushroom foraging was not good at all. according to other UK foragers this year's fall was a very good one. Cheers Chris

Hi Jeff, I've thought about that myself and I happen to use the foam insert type at work so there's no shortage of them. I guess if its raining hard there's no chance of hearing anyone approaching camp anyway, so the earplugs would be ok in this instant. I'll add some to my kit, thank you for the idea Jeff you're a star🌟👍🏻 Thank you for watching and here's wishing you all the very best 🌳🌳🌳🕊🌳🌳🌳 Mike
