Cheers, Steve 👍 sometimes I film for 10 hours to get a 30 minute video and sometimes I film for 20 minutes, like this video. Editing a 30 minute video usually takes up to 2 hours! I don’t write a script out but I have notes or key points I’ll talk about and then improvise 😊

I am like you , I always carry my passport with me… I have a photocopied version which I would highly recommend everyone have as well. For obvious reasons. I get why people do not carry theirs. If they get mugged, the thought of trying to prove who you are and recovering that vital piece of documentation is not going to be easy. I also carry a charger as well. My rucksack is light, and always on my front. I always stick to popular areas where there are people around to avoid any nonsense when alone. My Samsonite and Rimowa cases have never been an issue and I have been to some rough airports. The universal plugs have never been an issue, again, I travel prepared for that… I have to agree with you, a tracker is necessary nowadays. You have the one up on me there! I travel soon, and i am going to invest in one today. Sound advice! Your London to see video was good. I am from The UK, residing abroad and enjoyed the little details you mentioned. The rule of travel is ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do’’ and you will get along fine! Take a phrase book! It goes a long way to making friends.

Good morning Ben! You’re the only one that will read this so…. Just a suggestion, kindly mention in all your videos to “Please like, comment and share this videos as it helps your channel grow” something along that line.. The algorithm on KZfaq is somehow tracking that stuff and you’ll start getting paid. Agreed! It takes no energy to be human (nice). There are so many negative titles on KZfaq and it’s not worth the time and energy. Again, I respect your honesty and style. Thank you.

Fascinating approach to camping. I'm a very experienced tent camper having camped all over the US, Canada, Europe (although not the UK), Scandinavia and even Russia when it was the Soviet Union. Despite all of that I never tried what you just tried-- Wild camping while walking through populated areas with no planned or detailed itinerary. I suppose the closest I've come to that is backpacking in National Parks or canoeing in Canada, but those were more structured and planned than what you attempted. I don't think I'd be comfortable or even brave enough just fill a backpack and start walking. Some people in the US do what's called "boondocking" which is similar to what you attempted but they do it in some sort of vehicle--often a camper or van. At night they just park in some shopping mall or off some obscure road to sleep in the vehicle. I haven't tried that either. I suggest the next time you try something more conservative and predictable to get your feet wet.

Good on you for posting this even though you consider the experience a failure. It seems you were just a little excited and ambitious rather than researched and prepared. You researched which fish shop to get lunch in more than where to find a place to camp. Your anxiety got the better of you, and that farmer beat down your confidence so it was a double-whammy when you were already feeling tired and unsure of your surroundings. Your adventurous spirit will bounce back and will soon be on your way to new adventures. Thanks for taking us along for the LONG walk. This was just a bump in the road.
