Andy you can’t win ‘em all mate. As long as you’re safe and sound that’s all that matters. Better luck next time.

My mate paints his drones dayglow red and puts a few bits of reflective tape on them, you can see it easy in daylight and shine a torch around at night and it shows up with the tape. Makes them a lot easier to spot if they go down. Doesn't help the ones he gets stuck in trees sadly.

Lord above Andy! I lost a video camera in there when I was out with Wiltshire Man a couple of years ago. As for the rest of it, I'm going to email you my phone number, your truck was parked 3 miles from my house. I could have brought you a pole or put you up for the night. As you know I'm out with Carl this weekend but if you email me roughly where you think it maybe I'll go out next weekend, I know the point where you filmed that segment but rough direction of flight, river left or right would be good.

Loving how you've thrown yourself into your channel after your hiatus. Top drawer content. Here's to the next 100k subs. All the best Andy 👍

Just a great video that helps us think about the ‘what ifs’ when preparing to venture out. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing, Andy, even if it was a rough outing. Keep your head up and think about how much better the next camp will be.

Stunning views in the video, Thanks so much for posting. Gear can be replaced but Andy can't! Glad you are safe and sound mate! Looking forward to the next one..this wild camp maybe perceived as a fail or flawed.. I see it as an amazing life experience and something to be treasured/learned. Precious indeed!

Oh heck! That was an expensive walk. Thanks for sharing when things go wrong. I’ve always learned more when I’ve fallen out of a canoe than when in it! Keep smiling and making great videos.

I’ve had days like that, heck I had a year like that! Good if you to share warts and all. Thank you. Cheers

Thank you for a great video Andy. It can be so frustrating when everything seems stacked against you. Just know that you still managed to make a really awesome nature video. Thanks mate, and cheers and a hug from Denmark!

I love that you share your fails too, was still a great video with gorgeous scenery.

Thank's for the trip Andy, my BLOOD is from England I love seeing all these places You & Simon take us all. Sorry for your loss. TAKE CARE..

Your animation is wild! I'm in Japan. It's snowy today. Your animation becomes impatient for spring!

Enjoyed the lovely scenery in your video. Excellent and really relaxing to watch. Gave a really good feeling of the beauty of Dartmoor. Worth you taking a spare collapsible alloy pole in your pack, not heavy, but a vital piece of kit. Keep up the v nice vids!

Losing a drone is heartbreaking. I only lost a £20 one from Lidl, but it still cuts deep. Thanks for the video regardless man. Peace.

Andy, I feel for ya brother. But thank you so much for sharing another awesome adventure even if it didn't seem awesome. We all have those, I love it you shared yours

Anyway, good job done, mate. Strong man knows to admit also his losses and weaknesses. Thanks for it, bro!

Thanks for sharing the bad times as well as the good, I'm sorry you had a rough time but I think it's really important for creators to share when things go wrong so our sense of reality doesn't get all skewed thinking life should be nothing but perfect sunsets and instagram-worthy dinners. People already hold themselves up to unrealistic standards, it's refreshing and I'm always grateful to see honest content like this that reassures me I'm not the only one who has absolute disaster days!

Always pack a sense of humor Andy. You make do and do what you can. Thank you for always making an effort to share your adventures...big or small. Be well!

Sorry to hear about the disaster with the drone and pole. Thanks for keeping the films so honest and showing your experiences good and bad. We enjoy these a lot and has made us get out and try stuff as well as the cooking. Keep up the good work 👍

Starts so well the weather looks amazing! Feel for you mate.

Thanks for the honest content, I miss read FAIL as FALL and thought the poor blighter, he's lost his drone, lost the end of his pole had a rubbish day and is about fall over at any minute :( , Glad you didn't have a fall, and wishing you all the good luck you need for your next trip. Thanks Andy ;) ATB

I'm sorry about your drone! The surroundings are beautiful, thanks for sharing! Just happy you got back to your truck safely. Take care!

Keep going fella, always nice to see you 💪👍

Oh yeah I have experienced times like this before when it seems like everything goes wrong. Andy I hope the next adventure is spot on fantastic.

That one pony couldn't look you in the eye. I think we found your drone. 😋

It’s actually good you posted this video. It shows not everything goes as planed. Glad you’re safe. Better luck next time. Thanks for the video’s.

It shows how easy a trip can go south so to speak . It can happen to anyone and I am an expert at camping failures, but I am getting better . Thanks for another decent video and I wished my camera work was half as good as yours . See you soon .

I'm glad you posted this Andy, proving not everything goes to plan in reality and shit happens. You'll bounce back mate, thanks for posting this video, it would have been easier not too. Positives, you had a nice walk on the lovely moors and have one and a half walking sticks lol.

Well, you did better than the last time I was on Dartmoor (winter 76-77). Our survival exercise turned real when the snow came down, and helicopters were dropping hay to stranded and starving sheep. We had radio contact, and a schedule for updates - we could have been pulled out, but as we were coping they let us be, and a long weekend turned into 10 days. But it was frickin' cold!

I am SO sorry about your gear mishaps, and the “failed” overnighter! But, in my view, the video itself was actually a success, and quite enjoyable: the sped-up time lapse of the that breathtaking sunset with the sheep skittering across the field was absolutely & unquestionably PRICELESSLY beautiful (and you likely would NOT have captured it quite that way if everything had gone according to plan)! Also enjoyed the sped-up footage of your path on the way back to your vehicle! And this was also a reminder that, yes- things can and do go wrong, so it was helpful to see how you handled it. So, like I said: this was a “win” in spite of everything (or maybe BECAUSE of everything!). ALWAYS enjoy your vids; thanks so much for your mild-mannered and engaging sharing! 💐💐💐

classic thanks for that it cant always be plain sailing happy new year love from aus

Good on you for continuing to share what you’re doing despite being completely p’d off with your day. It really makes you feel sick when you loose something important to you, so well done for carrying on. I thought you might have lashed one of those bones 🦴 you found to the end of your pole? Or even your tripod? But I guess when you’ve had enough, you just want to get back. Thanks Andy, onwards and upwards!

Iv seen your channel grow alot in the past month, keep everything the same you doin a great job

Mate -sorry about your drone!! What a bummer! Sometimes things just don’t turn out how you expected -kudos for posting anyway mate. 👍

Unlucky Andy , you always get some odd days like that, but the views were stunning and worth the trip. 👍🏻

As far as im concerned its still genuine content. Beautifully shot and extremely well edited as usual. Keep up the outstanding work your channel is superb!!!

The last person finding their drone... 😂😂😂 Happy you were not feeling bad for long... That's how life is, isn't it?? Enjoyed this video also.. Sorry for the lost drone. Take care. 😊

Nice truck. Thanks for the video. God bless.

Drag of a day Dude! Kinda takes the wind out of the sails for sure. Hopefully this bad day - except for the stuff you did get to do and thanks for making the vid of that! - will have others like it few and far between.

Thank you for including this video. This was quite an adventure. Sorry you lost your drone.

Incredible Hulk time for Andy lol good video keep them coming

No worries. There are good days and bad days. Still good to see you out there and staying a bit upbeat!!

It's good that you felt it was worth posting this trip that didn't go to plan. Hope the drone loss wasn't too expensive but anything worth buying to use for youtube etc won't be cheap. At least walking poles aren't going to break to the bank. Keep up the good work, I always enjoy your uploads, your knowledgable presentation and your "jolly" personality.

Least you were out in the beautiful sunshine for a while, plus we got to see some scenery :) hope you find your drone.

No need to apologize about anything it was still a great vid, I enjoyed the scenery immensely. If you ask me those sheep had your drone all that time and we're probably having a great laugh about it that evening.

Didn’t even get to camp, but yet it was still a quality video, that’s why I like Kent survival!

What a bummer bro. Sorry about the mishaps there Andy. Hope you recover your items. Beautiful out there, so it wasn't a waste of time. A little annoyed, sure. Well see you on the next, cheers!

Great videos mate can't have an amazing time every time ... Rough with the smooth . I live in Kent and would love to catch up may be for a one nighter before I go back to Australia for good. Chin up bud 👍

Oh crap! Andy you did the right thing packing it in this time, the thought of you filming in an extremely saggy, frozen and wet tent really fills my heart with dread! The Moors are hard places at the best of times, next time you'll smash it, just don't forget the Oh Boy hot chocky! Thanks for the video, not dull in any way matey. Keep up the good work

Sorry for the equipment loss. Thank you for taking us along, I still enjoyed the video.

Sorry about the mishaps! But your video was great as always. :-D Thanks for sharing with us... and good luck on your next adventure! :-D

Lovely sunset. Thanks for the effort, you faced adversity with a smile on your face. You're a better man than I. Better luck next time.

What bad luck mate. We've all had days like it. Atleast you got back. If I hear of anyone finding a drone up on Dartmoor I'll let you know. Take care cheers Karl 🤟🤟

I've had my share of fails too! Good luck my man!

Ur comment bout the bones had me laughing pretty hard. Im sorry u lost ur drone i hope something works out for u. Great video anyway looked like a great area

We all have days like this. Next time will be better. Pretty shots of nature!

and wow 100k subs i watched you when you had 200 well done mate keep going aus x

It says a lot about you for posting your “failures”. You could have easily just deleted this footage Tip of the hat to you, sir!

I really enjoy your videos! Sorry this one didn’t work out as planned, but I still liked watching.

Man, that's one rough day, Andy. I hope you get back and at least find your drone. Chin up, mate! At least you got outside to have a bad day instead of just another crappy day at work or stuck indoors. 🤙

Thank you for sharing this Andy. Thimgs don't always go the way we want and we can learn from that. I went camping once to discover I'd accidentally pick up a camping chair bag instead of my tent bag. It turns out if you lie on a tarp and roll yourself up in it like a burrito you can stay pretty warm. Bloody uncomfortable though. Chin up mate, at least it was stuff that got lost and not you.

Beautiful landscape.

Sorry this one didn't work out Andy, but pleased that you still shared it with us!

Oh no,one of those days.Thanks for still uploading,as it shows these things happen to the best of us.Sending best wishes*

Sorry about this misfortune Andy. Hope you find your drone though. Looking forward to your next attempt. Looks like some beautiful country. Cheers.

Just goes to show how the more technology you rely on, the more stress piles up on you. I've camped under a Brit Army BASHA with poles that were under 3ft, once in the sleeping bag the tarp was only around 20+cm above my head, yes, it was crap trying to film it but still, it was a shelter and very comfy. andy definitely could still have camped overnight despite the walking pole mishap, then could have searched for the drone the following day. With the walking pole that short, a simple plowpoint tarp setup (if andy had decent length of paracord) would have sufficed even without a tree!

Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug. Cheers Andy!

Look where you were, beautiful place! Winning whilst your’e losing 👍🏻

Unlucky. These things are sent to try us. Looking forward to the next one! Ps I have been on a trip and forgot my hiking pole and didnt realise until it was time to pitch. I know how you feel. Good luck on the next one.

You made the wise decision. You have to know when to call it "done", before you get into a worse situation. Glad you're safe!

Damn what a sickener, you done well to remain calm, if it had been me I would have thrown a wobbly, done some screaming, finished with a bit of crying of 'why me, why lord?'

If you have a DJI DRONE, then just go on find my drone within the app, it will take you straight to it

We all have our bad days and thank you for sharing this video instead of not posting it, stay safe Andy

It was still a beautiful day for a hike. It does seem like it was one of those “Murphy’s Law” kind of days. I still enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry for the loss of your drone. Even sorrier that you had to pull the plug on the trip. I'm sure you'll have better luck next time. ☺

Great vid Andy. Shame about your drone. I live near Dartmoor and wild camp often but in a wooded area, with exclusive access due to knowing the owner, fantastic forest for wild camping on the moors 🙂

You did well not to lose your rag completely. I hope you get your drone back. Thanks for sharing , atb.

Sorry about the equipment. However, your camera work is always amazing with or without a drone. Loved the pony shot at the end.

Great to see upside and down side to wild camping. Pity about your drone though. Look forward to your next video chin up mate.

Ooooh, is that a new ‘gimbal quality’ GoPro you were using whilst walking along the leat? (Sorry, I’ll get back to watching!) 😂

The scenery was beautiful and beautifully videod. Then, on the way back you DID show us the lovely dartmoor ponies. NOT a lost trip for us. But I would have been deeply disappointed, too, if I was aiming for a camp out.

Hi Andy That would have been a great video...and what a cracking day for it too...gutted that you lost connection with your drone..providing it's a DJI,..as already mentioned just go into the DJI app and find ...find my drone..it should give you co-ordinates for the position where it landed and you can also play back it's last flight also...good luck cos there an expensive item to loose..🤞🤞👍

Gami mate, hope you find the drone soon !!! all the best .

Keep it up bud, sometimes it's just not your day... hope the next trip will be better. It is looks like a lovely place though.

A downer at the time but one can always replace equipment as long as you stay safe and have no mishaps. Stunning weather and scenery . Better luck next trip with the equipment.

Think of it not as a failure but a ‘partial success’ 😊. Seriously though love the videos keep them coming.

Gutted for you Andy, but at least the weather was ok. I normally have days like that when it's absolutely hoofing it down lol.

Dear Andy, we loved your short video. What beautiful water shots. Was that a spring that u walked over under the little tree?

Thank you for putting the video up regardless, Andy! Bummer about the drone though!

This vid is like "A day in the life of Gundog." Hang in there Andy

Very honest as always Andy which is why I love watching your videos - we've all had days like that 😡

At least you kept smiling that's a 10 plus right there. Thanks for sharing

Sorry about your drone hope you get to go back and find it soon. Good luck and GOD BLESS.

Can’t always go the way we would like it to go. At least you made it back safe, that’s the most important thing. Safe treckings my friend

It's good that you posted a video where things did not go as planned. Most KZfaqrs would never be that brave. Better luck next time.

You must have been a mountain goat in a prior life. Up & over that Rock Mountain with your heavy backpack. Enjoyed the sound of moving water in the background. Sorry about your drone and trekking pole. Did not even get to camp...which was why you were there. Thank you anyway for the wonderful video. 😊

Had a few days like this recently totaly screws with my motivation to get back out 😡 .... sorry you lost the drone and didnt get to camp out but it was still a good watch as always 👍🏻👍🏻

That's life Andy, shit happens. You'll laugh about it in the future. I still enjoyed the video though mate, keep 'em coming!!👍

Well Andy im hoping theres someone connected to a drone company seeing your vid that is willing to send one to you and have you review it :) still a thumbs up for your video :)
