    I’m with you on having a carefully watched candle in a tent- love a little t-light. Makes a difference as you say👍 Funny about the anxious feeling you described that nearly had you packing up. I think we’re all prone to feelings like that if we’re honest, well done for staying put and enjoying the night 👍

      I really like the candle vibe it gives off mate makes it more comfortable and warmer although that might be a placebo haha cheers for watching bud. ATB

    One of the best parts of this video (excluding the epic views) was how you showed your vulnerability
    With your anxiety, and how you worked through it. A great life lesson right there. Thank you for sharing fella and great to hear you getting more subs too. Thoroughly deserved 👊

    Hi andy. That was an incredible sunrise. Another cracking video. I think we all at one time or another go through that sort of anxiety when out in the countryside camping or hiking. Good that you stuck it out and were rewarded with a stunning morning. Take care, em 😊

    Nice attitude whoever said "promo"! Quite obvious to anyone who knows their gear that you'd be well chuffed with the LED Lenser, one of the best you can buy. I have the same one and keep a Petzl Bindi as back up and to use around camp since it's much lighter.

      No mate, I already had the soulo I love it. I got the allak more recently so we had more room to take my daughter :) now it has 10mm poles and I've learned a lot more about its set up etc I'm way happier with the allak 2. Both tents are great

    at 7:59 - very nice use of the variable ND filter for the transition to inside of the tent, i saw what you was doing there. a little smoother changing through the ND stops and that would have been eye candy. how about that, one negative little comment has brought something out of you. your strengh is 100% in the shots you get and the creative side of things, not beers. you dont need to be a clone when you see videography the way you have shown you can. i mean just looking at the comments shows people are more intersted in the views and shots you got than the beer reviews you didnt. keep looking into lens, keep getting good shots and keep up with been creative.
    youtube angel out.

      That said, after taking a look at that part of the video just now, I see what you mean, will definitely try to do more of that sort of shot as I'd never thought about it until you've pointed it out. Thank you

      @brightdaygaming5692 10 місяців тому +1

      ​@@TheMackemMountaineer the way the landscape silhouette matched up between the two shots, while essentially using a spin transition to cut betweem outside the tent to inside, i honstly thought youve been taking videography classes. throwing in the ND filter to changing the exposure to match the second shot for the transition, thats advanced stuff. seems like youve got an eye for it without knowing and yet calling it luck. you need to trust yourself and just play around, have fun with shooting. i know i gave you a hard time on your last video, but i like seeing people glow up and knew you didnt need to do what 1000s of others are doing. saying that, i did feel bad when you said you wasnt doing the beer review even tho i know its for the best. you did seem dishearted. but i hope this is leaving us on better terms.

      @brightdaygaming5692 haha all good mate, I didn't have the beers because it was way too cold not because of comments. I enjoy a beer out camping so don't worry ir wasn't anything that was said to me. That said, glad you've commented on this as I'd never actually thought about being really creative in terms of what you've pointed out and it's definitely prompted me to try hit more of these cool and creative shots 100%

      @@TheMackemMountaineer The only thing with linking your channel to drinking is the fact that the algorithm will only promote your channel to a set demographic hindering your overall channel growth to about 100-200k subs at best, thats why many channels do had a second channel to upload things that they enjoy but also know youtubes algorithm doesnt promote the content due to its not the overall image that the youtube brand aims to be. i know its hard to believe a random username on the platform that seems to be only present to participate in the art of troll'in, but i think ive spoken enoguht in depth that you know what im saying to be true. if not, you could always take alook at those channels that do and do not promote age restricted participation in their content. its all about monetization at the end of the day, not for you. but youtube themselves. im glad ive inspired you, with your own video, that you already shot hahaha im still finding it hard to believe you got that on the off chance. hahaha.
