    The Pentland Hills is always super busy with people because it is so close to the City and easily walkable.

    I'm wondering if the trousers were 30% off because someone returned them and they just chose not to tell you. Either that or the trousers were truly defective. But to be defective in multiple spots is very strange. If they weren't used than what could explain multiple failures in stitching other than a quality issue?

    Not sure if you were able to drag that big log over to fire but was still funny, what had me in stitches was when you didn't even let the coles smolder just threw the mac n cheese onto the flames haha thanks for the laughs dude you have a new subscriber.

    I like these types of videos, but it’s annoying when the rustling of their equipment and their feet rustling through the leaves is louder than anything else. There’s one guy I like his videos that he makes from northern Ohio USA, but he drags his feet usually through dried leaves. I can’t watch those videos of his. It is just too annoying.

    • @WanderingSimon
      @WanderingSimon  6 днів тому +1

      Yes, this can be annoying. I find some of the sounds in these videos relaxing but when there’s too much noise it’s not ideal.
      I may invest in a mic at some point but for now the budget is tight 🫣 thanks for the feedback though 👋
