    Another Great Video. Please don't go into more detail about your situation on a future date. You have no need to. I/We know how it is today in Britain. As you rightly said, you don't have to be a drug addict or a Drunk to be Houseless. Be Strong, the pair of you.👋

      Thank you very much. We wanted to clear the air and let people know "although not in massive detail!" What caused our situation, but everyone experiences different situations and still find themselves in this exact situation. I even have the receipt for the months rent we had to borrow to pay the pitch. Thanks for the understanding.

    Being off grid, like living on a boat, everyday theres repairs and work and glitches. It can be a 24 hour kick in the teeth.Stay strong guys!! And remember to give each other many hugs each day. It helps release feel good and bonding hormones necessary for survival. You are cared for, admired and respected by many many people.

    My friends from across the pond, I appIaud you for your intestinal fortitude in making lemonade after life gives you lemons! I am a 72 y/o man in excellent health about to setup a camp in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountainss of North Georgia, at a campground which has electric and water at the tent site, clean showers and toilets on premisis, as well as washers and dryers for $720 a month, as I too am "houseless". Back in the day when I had actual money lol I lived, worked, traveled, adventured and sojourned in 23 countries, but alas the winds of change brought me to a time in which I have no savings, property, etc., and then I discovered Costa Rica as an alternate country in which to live as rent in the states is ASTRONOMICAL and beyond my reach. SO...being the world traveler I am, I came to Costa Rica to live, as affordable housing can still be found here. I will be paying almost half my monthly income for the campsite, but I know the area and love it. All the best to you and keep on keeping on!!!

      The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why liers and murderers feel good while righteous persons are persecuted. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy.
      This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom.
      That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our loved ones again! :-)

      As I made my way back from rock bottom I secured an old motorhome. Then went searching for raw land to park it on and develop. I found my land and the key was finding “owner carry” financing. A small down and monthly payments for ten years. One more year and it’s paid in full. Several acres with woods and a creek. Perhaps it’s a path you could look into. Keep moving forward. It will all come together for you.

    Well said it can happen to anyone. I will pretty much stay in the van now after my work finishes in a month due to a surgery I had to have, time waiting , recovery ect has taken to long. As a trucker and staying in van most of the time living this way is easy to me. A little tip , take the cooler with you to the shop. If you can get a 12v Halfords fridge get one. Sending you only positive energy, ignore the negativity as like you say most of us are one paycheque away.

    Hi csn I suggest about the ice problem , I know money is tight but this is a good solution many van lifers use , get a small freezer unit to pug into car , just enough room for 4 to 6 freezer blocks, then jst swap your freezer blocks out of your cool box , and simply refreeze the others, this way you've always hot a cool fridge , I've cubes are rubbish , this method is far more effective , hope this helps ❤️👏🏽

  • @liammalarky3483

    Ice boxes and coolers only do so much. It just shows how much we take refrigeration for granted, eh? My gran didn't have one till the 1980's and shopped on a Monday, Wednesday, and a bigger shop on Fridays to cover the weekend. This is where dishes made from leftovers came into their own. A real choccy treat next time you're in the supermarket has to be Blue Riband. Dark chocolate or hazelnut. Absolutely fab. All the best.

  • @snapdragon2441
    @snapdragon2441 3 місяці тому +3

    To keep a cool box cooler, place a wet towel over it. The wind, heat etc will draw the water off and lower the box temperature. We do this whilst camping, only use a cool box with a few ice blocks and never had a problem even in height of summer.

    One of the coolest did my lady and I had while we were in a very similar situation..... was a night that I realized I had really hooked up with a manager at a pizza shop. I commented on how many pizzas they were throwing out tonight because I happened to be parked in the parking lot. Mind you at the time we were sleeping in our vehicle with everything that wasn't in storage. I told him that I would figure out something beneficial to do with the food if it's a constant thing. He told me to come on Saturday night, I really didn't think anything would happen however I showed up on Saturday night and he handed us like nearly 20 pizzas , about 60 wings, and a whole bunch of garlic bread. It literally filled up the entire back of our vehicle including some in the trunk. We drove around and found other people that were homeless and gave pizzas out for a few hours we have to look out for each other. To go a little bit farther on what caused our situation to be quite honest I had some health problems and basically died a few times. In order to take care of me, my lady quit her job as well. I shouldn't be here to be honest, I was given 6 months to live and I was dead in two. Your wife should not feel bad for the bluetti getting tore up. Things happen and i am sure you were upset but we get over it and move on. Thank God you had it for the time you did and it still does work. To prevent me doing endless diving on research about the unit does it have an xt60 or xt90 connector or is it proprietary? It is probably something that could be fixed with a simple cut crimp and a new connector. We would both like to talk to you more, your mental health will be your strength I promise you. Our journey was immense, but it only strengthened our bond. To hinder the ablity of the internet to see our interactions (because people hide behind keyboards with comments that waste both of our time) I would really like to talk to you guys off the yt comments if possible. Do you have an email or... hell even a mailing address we could contact you on? You have to be careful what you write in these comments because Bots will pick it up and then you will have all kinds of spam emails and the like. Let me know how you want to contact me if that is your wish and we will move forward hopefully I can help you guys. Head up eyes forward king and queen, I'm going to have my lady watch this video when she gets off of work and catch her up on what's going on with you guys. Best wishes I hope you guys enjoyed your movie night be blessed stay vigilant . By the way my brother please ditch that damn soda addiction, I don't know if the soda in the UK has as much fake chemical garbage as the ones in the US but I nearly refused to drink the soda here.😂 I try to live by if I can't pronounce it I can't eat it.😂😂😂

    There may be tears...but hopefully as time passes you will slowly adjust...
    Took us years ...living in tents, old tourers...and statics..
    Eventually you will adapt...and realize that the old you and your old values will change..
    You will appreciate a cheaper more simple way of life..
    Dont be afraid...you are both stronger than you think.

    I just came upon your channel. I have a friend in Australia who is newly homeless. She’s single with two handicapped children in wheelchairs and she’s somewhat handicapped herself. Her landlord is tearing down where she was living. It was atrocious but it was a roof. Myself, I’m not homeless but I have been putting food up just in case there is a long term loss of electricity. I’ve put up tons of dry goods. Pasta, instant rice, soup beans. I’ve bought canned stuff to pour over the dry goods. Lots of things than don’t require refrigeration. Oats. Flour. I have bought salt to make salt pork if I have to. I’m just trying to mention tips that may help. I’ve put tons of instant coffee up because that is my one item I would truly miss. Coffee is comfort to me. I bought a box with several bags of dehydrated milk, another comfort item for me. I’ve not bought this stuff all at once but little at a time. I’m so happy you will be getting the caravan. What kindness! I truly wish my friend lived on my continent because I have room for her. You are also a continent away from me. I’m a retired grandma and I would send money if I could, but my well wishes and prayers will have to do. Wishing you many blessings.

      We are so sorry to hear of your friends' circumstances! Having children in tow during these times must be heartbreaking for her. I hope she gets sorted soon enough. I started prepping around 2 years ago and doing pretty much what you did regarding food. When we went shopping, we would spend an extra £10 on dry foods and such. Unfortunately, my dad fell ill and came out of employment. At the time, he had no money for food, so all of our stash went to him, and it saw him through until he was well enough. Thank you for your kind comments and thoughts. Take care.

    @OldSchoolPrepper 3 місяці тому +1

    FOR EVERYONE: one way to support this channel is to allow the commercials to run all the way through while you watch the video, this is the way Ste Outdoors can get paid any money. If you skip the commercials, then they don't get money...if you watch at least 30 seconds they get a tiny bit but if you allow the commercial to play all the way through then they get more money. A sneaky way to do this easily and benefits both you and the channel is to start the video and let everything run...turn off the sound. Open a 2nd tab and go into UA-cam again, watch the video and skip the commercials like you normally do...so you'd have two tabs open on YT both running the same video, one you leave to run all the way and the 2nd you use to skip commercials.

    Been there. Was homeless for years, it happens, now im close to homeless again. In this day and age it doesnt take much to go from having it all to struggling to living in a tent. Nothing wrong with it, and nothing is for ever, having less makes you appreciate things more, and makes you humble, not bad things to carry with you when you over come this. Those lessons served me well in the yrs after being homeless. Youll get there mate. Your good ppl and good things always happen in the end to good folks.
    Wishing you the very best from Alberta, Canada.

    Hey guys I'm a new watcher/subscriber and it was your homeless video that caught my attention. I took a look at the comments as i was interested in people's thoughts on your situation as we all have differing ideas on your home/houselessness (thats a mouthful). From my point of view there are different levels of homelessness and i believe this as many years ago i was homeless due to family issues. I did not consume alchahol or take drugs and never crossed my mind to do either i was to busy trying to survive, in my case i slept on buses at the bus station when it was closed you could sneak on and you made sure you were gone by 4.30am or you would find yourself on a free trip somewhere else. I shoplifted on a few occasions and waited for a local bakery to give out free food at closing time and on occasions i was so hungry i had to ask strangers for money to get some chips or a hot drink something which i hated all the time. I saw the drunks and drug addicts and just preyed like hell i wouldn't end up like that and thank god i didn't and after 8months of sleeping rough and yes i mean rough some very kind people helped me and believe me i was so thankful. So although i wasn't living on the street as an addict i was able to keep my sanity and survived my level of homelessness. It happened back in 1989 so the option for me to go to social housing was 0. Your situation is a different level of homelessness but still stressful and as you said your lucky enough to still be working and have all the camping mod cons. My wife watched your video with me and her first thought was if your trying to save money why are you buying branded products and making a video about being surprised at the cost of it all and i just said look there not destitute its a little different to what you see on the streets. they need a roof over there head and the security that comes with it doesn't make them poor so if they were that bad off they wouldn't buy that stuff but hey if you can then you should and doritos, dips and a film is the way to go. Anyway remember, when things start getting to you take a deep breath take a look at each other and thank your lucky stars you have each other as you will never be alone through this. Take care guys.

      Thank you so much for the indepth insight to your own plight you suffered being homeless. I have nothing but respect for you! They must have been some hard times and indeed the worse possible definition of homelessness there is! Selfishly, I am glad our homelessness isn't on that level, for my Mrs. sanity! We both have wages, but both combined aren't enough to pay for everything we need, Inc. car for work. Bills rent council and everything else that gets thrown at you for the privilege of living! There are a few treats here and there just to keep things comfortable are what keeps reality kicking in! Thank you for your support. Take care.

      ​@@BushcraftWithSteOutdoors I just wanted to show that people can read situations differently. I am sure there were people who were worse of than me back then and now, i was young and on my own you have your good lady to take care of so you have that extra worry. Times may be different but the problems of homelessness are still the same and it is heartbreaking to see, i can empathise with you both and the many people finding themselves without a home, we should all be able to have the security of a roof over our heads and your right there is so much to pay out these days and nothing is cheap, i try to find vouchers for everything and anything where shopping is concerned. Anyway as my Grandad used to say (yes i'm going there lol.) Chin up chest out and walk forward with purpose. You're both doing great and i hope to see you setting up in your new home soon.👊

When 2 wages can't see you straight at the end of the month, something doesn't add up! Thanks again.

    Wish you all the best and hope things turnaround for you soon.

    Stay safe both of you. One of my sons and his wife were desperately looking for a house this time last year, after the landlord gave notice on their damp, smokey house. Thankfully they got a housing association house, His wife and daughter both have asthma, and had planned to move before the winter. I live too far away for my son to get to work, otherwise they would have come here. Hope you get the caravan really soon. Best wishes from Susan in East Yorkshire.

    I lost my partner 4 years ago now he was only 47 and one day he was with me planning our future in the blink of a eye he was gone no warning no time for good bye . I’ve often thought I’d give up everything and live in a bus shelter just to have him back by my side..
    You have each other and in my world that’s worth more than anything money could ever buy . Much love to you both and stay positive ❤️

    With your ear infection, some info in case it happens again; my son is deaf in 1 ear after being run over on the pavement by a 4x4 when he was 3. The doc has always said to us that it’s so important to protect the hearing in his good ear (and by god he was so right as my sons now 14 and a gifted pianist (Joshua faulks)) so he said any ear infections - as he was prone to them - should be treated with urgency. With you, it sounds like you’re being given something like amoxicillin which is the cheapest for them to prescribe. And if it’s a bad infection, they’ll do nothing for you. So stand your ground and tell them you need a more effective antibiotic EVERY time as you need to protect what hearing you still have in the bad ear.
    And especially in England where you have to pay for your prescriptions (we don’t in Scotland) then you’ve every right to demand something better. Good luck 🤞
