In this episode, Jake & Becks head to Stonehenge back to the area where Jake used to live in his Army days. There’s something beautiful and quite energising about the atmosphere of living vanlife at such a prominent place in history!
Please Join us for a few days 🙏🤘

Totally normal to miss the army and feel down, I still do after being out for 8 years, but then I remember I don't have to stag on anymore and it makes me feel a million tomes better 😄

Brilliant video and perfect timing for me. My dad died three weeks ago but he was also in the Army back in the day and use to drive the old Centurion tank. He was also based down by Salisbury Plain and we use to visit the stones. But back then you could go right up to them and walk amongst them. Anyway thanks for this Jake, brought back some fantastic memories.

What makes us feel happy in life is having a purpose. When you were in the Army, your purpose was to help protect the country. Jake's journey to your next purpose won't be linear but will take a bit of time to get there. A bit like being out in the wilderness, sometimes there's ups and sometimes downs and every once in a while we have to back track. Start to allow yourself to consider what your purpose will be Jake.

Mate I know exactly how you feel about SPTA I did 5 years in Bulford and so many exercises on the Plain. Lots of time in Tottenham wood, Sidbury Hill and on the Beacon above Bulford. Really does feel like home when ever I get to pass through. Another cracking video Jake. 💪🏽👍🏽

Takes a while Jake to find your new purpose, contentment etc. Keep busy, set goals, adventure as and when you can afford it. I’ve been out 9 years now and at times I do miss my mates. Thing is look to the future and not so much at what was. You will get there. Now live in Sweden and do a lot of outdoor stuff, which is on the doorstep. It’s good for the soul. It beats camming up around Area 5 or Hill Bottom Farm. 😜🇸🇪

I don’t know if you see this question as this video was posted 3 months ago, but I’ve been a bushcrafter/trail backpacker since the 80’s and have practiced leave no trace since it became a thing (believe it or not, there was a time where you could follow the trails without a map by all the soup cans littering the paths. But I have a question…. Isn’t it going too far to advise to pack out toilet paper? Why not just bury it in the hole you dig with a trowel? TP is the most biodegradable material made by man, one good seeping rain and it’s dissolved. Ever tried to wet TP and wipe your bum? It’s a skill, a real skill not to get shit on your fingers. I’ve heard others say they pack out their TP, I just figured they were radical AF.

It’s good to see you in a different frame of mind this week Jake. Adjusting to Siviz can take time and it helps to have a bit of structure, which I think you are lacking. Anyway, don’t give up following your dreams mate, it was nice to se Becky too. Rock on 🍻
