Regarding your comment this isn't exciting content, my brother that's why I'm here. There enough high energy content on UA-cam and I watch you to relax. It really helps lower the blood pressure. Keep doing your thing and we'll keep watching
If every hiker and wild camper picked up a couple of bits of rubbish on each trip there'd be none. I know we shouldn't have to but some folk don't know how to behave in the countryside. Bravo mate, good work. 👍
@RamblingOn have you removed some of your hiking videos? I thought you had one up on the knockmealdowns that i watched before. I was looking for inspiration for the weekend but could not find it.
Jeepers! Don't worry about the content not being exciting! For a lot of us, peace & serenity is so scarce these days. The scenery is absolutely beautiful! It actually reminds me of our Canadian west coast rain forest area! (which I am 3 provinces to the east of, lol) I am so jealous of all of that moss! And we get to listen to chap tell us all about his camping gear! We can even choose to have a conversation with you & laugh along. And bravo for cleaning up what you could! You need to bring gloves with you next time.
We do have some beautiful woodlands here, I've heard from a few peaople that it resembles Canada in some areas. I have the gloves sorted for the next time I go litter picking. Thank you for joining me on this one 🙌🍀
Good on you for clearing the place up. And as someone who lives in the Baltic states it always makes chuckle when someone says the weather is 'Baltic'. It's Baltic here 365 days of the year! Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your videos and your love of the countryside.
Plastic bottles in nature drive me nuts! I dont like so-called "fairy trees" either or decorating living trees with plastic baubles at Christmas and the excuse that it's nice for the kids is a load of crap. Get them to appreciate nature in its natural state and cultivate their imagination without brightly coloured plastic! Same with the orienteering marks if that's what they were. Make marks but use biodegradable materials or clear it away afterwards. Fair play to you for hauling it out. It's a good workout. It's like plogging I think, a combo of jogging and picking up rubbish. They do it in Sweden.
I've never heard of plogging but I've been back since to take what I had left behind. I spent 5 hours hauling all sorts of crap out of the woods that day and the way I saw it, it was exercise for me, fresh air and it made me feel really good to see it all removed. If it means that one little bird doesn't have to encounter it again then I'm happy out.
Your enthusiasm for the places you go and the enjoyment you get from doing the simple things, like just finding out what is around the next corner, keeps your videos interesting mate. Glad to see your back's getting better. Just take it easy & don't overdo it. i think that it's bloody disgusting people dumping and leaving all their rubbish around. This is the reason why people lose their rambling rights on land. Thanks for taking us along on your walk - it looks a beautiful place you go.
Seeing you in your element Jason brings such a smile to my face...especially after all that you have endured with your back pain in recent months. Better still...seeing that big kid in you come out while tromping through the woods. Brings out my own inner kid. Nothing but joy for me coming from you - with thanks buddy!
It is a pleasure to see you take action in cleaning up the forest. You are a good man. The landscape is such a treat. So different from my home in Oregon, USA. Thank you for not putting on an annoying music track. I appreciate the sounds of nature. Looking forward to more of your travels. Be well.
Here that stuff is called flagging tape, normally hi-vis orange. Originally for marking trees for cutting, now used by anyone that wants to mark a trail. If you don't want to navigate at least take the tape home with you when your done. Thanks for cleaning up the mess.
Fair play Jason. Since I started watching your videos, I go out with my 8 year old litter picking in our local park. Can't stand looking at it, it spoils it. That Lilt can had the old ring-pull top. They stopped making them in the late 80s!
I found a can like that in the Comeragh mountains a few months back, it's mad to think how long it has sat there. Fair play to you both for heading out litter picking 🙌
Some ejits about hi leaving all that rubbish in the woods fair play fella for taking all that out with you these people leaving all the stuff need to learn the term leave no trace not there rubbish 👍 from up north
I've always thought the plastic on the trees were out there by people like the woodland trust, as a way of marking dead trees or something similar? I'm guessing but just assumed it was something like that. Or some kind of surveillance on growth or something? Not 100% sure mind but orienteering sounds about right. Shame they use plastic! Good to see you back out and about. Cheers
If you take it you'll be happy with yourself if you leave it you'll be on a guilt trip saying to yourself I should of took it up to you 😏 good video yet again well done 👏
Good on you for being so environmentally aware and tidy . I am like that as well. I am wondering if when you have been out on a tidy up , have you found anything that you have kept . I once found a brand new bushcraft axe and a pair of walking poles which I still have after several years. I also once found what I thought was an abandoned tent . The nosey me had to have a look inside and found a dead man. The police thought he had died of a drugs overdose and died during the night . They suggested that I should see a counsellor to sort myself out and then I told them I worked for an undertaker and I went out collecting dead bodies. The officer was not a happy chappy after I told him that , lol . Cracking video Mate and keep up the great work.
😄 I hope I never come across that when I'm out and about but to be fair I handle dead bodies in work from time to time so it probably wouldn't bother me. I went back out for the stuff that I left behind and ended up cutting the groundsheet off the tent to use as a protective cover in my car. I hope to do a lot more tidying up in the future so it will come in handy. Other than that I haven't found anything that I ended up keeping
Jason, that was some interesting off track exploring👍Old harvested commercial forestry ground is really tricky as you say. That 'childlike' freedom in exploring is definitely a thing - like the big adventure and element of risk climbing trees when I was younger😊 Always cool to make a difference removing litter items♻ from outdoor places (including exhaust pipes😊) and to highlight the issue which might educate others👍
Cheers Gerry, I love exploring the woods like that but it can be a bit dodgy sometimes. I have your most recent video saved for later, looking forward to seeing it 🍀
Fair play, thanks for the video and good to see you out and about. That is what woodland walking in Ireland is like, sinking up to your bits in bog and suddenly finding the patch of heather goes down 2ft when your stand on it....😂
Well done! The amount of fly tipping Ive seen on Coilte land is unbelievable. Sometimes you would need a rruck to remove it. I usually carry a dry bag for rubbish. The amount of people who leave banana skins and orange peel at trig points is terrible. It takes years to disappear.
I do the same, I clip a dry bag onto the strap of my backpack for rubbish. Those banana skins and orange peels are terrible but discarded tissues are everywhere too. There's no end to it really
Absolutely shocking the amount of rubbish you recovered from those woods. What is wrong with people? 😠 Well done you though, you certainly deserve those biscuits when you're out! 👍
Excellent trek ....your braver than i am...i would definetly wear thick goretex gaiters... Shame about the litter...unfortunatly a world wide problem...very sad. Never forget the shock we got after visiting a small Scottish isle....the beach litter was horrendous😢. And watching your vid makes me feel shame at the times in life when ive not respected nature....young and foolish. Thankyou....oh....gloves...mate ya never know whats in that discarded litter...careful ! Cheers...good video.
I have been out since without gloves again but the whole time thought to myself "I really need gloves" 😄 I've bought some since so it might save me an injury. Thanks a mill 🍀
I did enjoy your little jaunt in the woods. Maybe the folks doing the orienteering thing will come back and clean up their plastic flags? Thanks for trying to keep your little corner of the universe cleaner.
Fair play Jason 👌 The rubbish is bad enough but the drums and the plastic bags (white outside/black inside) are forest waste. The bags are what they put the seedlings for planting in to and the drums are oil etc for chainsaws and other equipment. Those really piss me off as Coillte are supposed to be big LNT Ireland supporters yet they create so much crap it's unreal 😡 I don't think the plastic tags are for orienteering. Competitors don't usually follow a set course like that. I'd say it's more likely to be an adventure race of some sort. If it was me I'd try and find out who held it and shame them into clearing it up themselves. If they could be bothered to go out and mark the route then they should be able to clear them again! They've made a real horlicks of the ground too, it's a mess!
Actually the adventure race sounds more like it, it's very soft ground up there so it's not great. I reckon I'll be back there doing the job for them, I was trying to justify it in my head, think of the children... 😄 It still bothers me regardless
That red tape definitely has nothing to do with orienteering as a route is never marked like that. The tape certainly looks like it's marking a route. Maybe it was for a trail race or something like that. I would hate to think scouts would leave them as I've been scouting for over 10 years & leave no trace is always adhered to. Massive well done for your clean up.
before i lived here 🏡 the people used the yard as a trash dump. in past years digging i found house trash bottles cans cable wires car parts.. down 5 feet? it is a drop in an ocean lol. if trash was worth money it would be clean 🏞 i find good things people throw out driving by.. yesterday a flatscreen tv 65 inch i repair ALL lol hvac appliances home & commercial.. but i cant do it anymore.. but i cant pass up? im like sanford & son 😂 other day found stuff.. in it was religious statues with white powder inside.. im not into that so out they went.
😄 it's great to have skills like that but I'd imagine you have gathered a lot over the years. I would have thrown out the white stuff too. good choice on that one and I hope the TV worked out
That's a lot rubbish, well done, but you are little crazy. The markers in the trees, well they are there to lure would be campers along route, then once dark the campers are taken. Where do you think the owner of the abandoned tent went, hey. Keep out of them there woods. Have you not watched Deliverance, squeal piggy squeal !!! Scary. Great vid by way.

You’re a credit collecting all that crap others couldn’t be arsed bringing home. Good lad.
I THINK IT'S GREAT YOU CARE ENOUGH TO DO IT, AND SHAME ON THOSE WHO LEFT THE STUFF BEHIND.
Thank you thats awsome of you
At the risk of sounding like ya ma.. but GLOVES. Where are your gloves..😊😂😂😂
😄 I've got them on the shopping list
You are a legend, Jason. Its a pity there are not more conscientious people like you in the world. It would be a better place.
Thanks a mill, I'll try to keep doing the little bit that I can 👍

When striking a flint and steel, you should move the flint and not the steel, you get a bigger hotter spark.
Always great to bring a Swiss army knife, and a spare lighter😅😅😅 killed me😂❤
This one makes me realize the importance of keeping a good compass as an essential item in the backpack. I’m definitely “directionally challenged”. 😅
😂
The plastic bags look like bags saplings come in probably left them by tree planters 😢 great job by you
god it’s like a trash truck exploded passing through those wood last year.
