I got busted by a landowner and his gamekeeper out shooting they spotted us on nightvision.they were more than reasonable with us and even pointed out another spot we could camp out of their way.they even gave us a lift there in the back of their truck.and the spot they showed us was even better than where we originally picked.nice 1 guys 👍
Exactly!!! This is it with land owners, they are and always have been good. Not to mention... wasn't really a bust then aye, they just didn't want to shoot at you. Well played Cully. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
During covid, I did it a couple of times. Things were getting to me, and I needed that. But how lovely it is to sleep in the UK woodland at night without anyone to bother you. That's how I got my idea to start making videos
I spent 6 months in woodland not too long ago - Female with a dog. I vividly remember the first time l heard the blood curdling screams of a fox.😮 It sounded like a woman fighting for her life out there in the darkest hours. Being in Norfolk.. l was getting *The Hills have eyes * vibey flashbacks.😂 Certainly the imagination can run out of sync with reality ! I had to have a couple of team talks with myself over that period. 😅 Being in the woods was one of the best times of my life . I cannot settle in a house.
Exactly!! Know that feeling always. And yeah, funny.... foxes are awesome when they go off on one. You should hear the wild Boar in the forest of Dean... they are super loud at night, but worth it. HAPPY HOPPING Cully 👌🏼 👍🏼
@Frankie22503 lmao 🤣 it's great, they're really not as scary as everyone portrays. We lived with them for 3weeks, but will go back and film it next time. They're nomadic like us, so we all hide/pitch/sleep in the same spaces lol. HAPPY HOPPING Cully 👌🏼 👍🏼
Great video guys. You are spot on, i have noticed there has become an increase in them types of video's. Fortunate for me, i used to spend many nights in the woods of the UK. Doing things that i should not of been doing. So like you guys the seasons in the woods don't make me paranoid. There is like you state nothing really to worry about. As long as you don't attract people. I am now out in Germany. I had a bit of a worrying night on my last camp due to the Wild Boar, but i still stayed put. Even though i am fully aware you don't want to tangle with the Mothet Grunters. I also respect that it does take newbies a good few camps to get used to the sounds that they are not used to. Anyway like i say great vid and to anyone wanting to get out in the UK woodland. Just get out there and give it a whirl. It's amazing
Exactly, we used a specific method with the boar... much like the 'doorbell' moments lol. It just acts as an early warning sign, but also deters them from entering our setup. But lovely to see and hear them at night and in the mornings. Cheers for commenting and HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼
@moocher7336 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 mad, absolutely mad. But... have found some unfamiliar scat on the mountains... not sheep, goat, deer, or any other we can think of? Will be back in the mountains in a few days or so, so will be checking that out properly lmao 🤣. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
@@loghoppers i have seen some soiled under wear, but i very much doubt they were Big Foots 🤣😂 Enjoy the mountains, i am on rest at the mo. Due to having a heart recorder fitted
I think my best story was setting up in the dark 2m away from a woodlands ants nest. In the dark I Peed all over it. They got pissed off and I had no idea..... I got bitten a few times that night and they made holes in my tent
Great video and ime left alone where i go as the local Squatches and the occasional dogmen keep the nutters away plus the pooch is a Belgian Malinois lol 🤣
@TJPockets lmao 🤣 too true. Dogs are great, but even without... we've never had a problem either. Perhaps we're missing a trick lmao 🤣 Cheers Cully, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Loved the intro! Common sense approach by people such as yourselves just doesn’t make the screaming 'click bait' that is used to generate views but is of no substance. As someone who can’t get out into the countryside anymore it is lovely to be able to see you,and others, out and about. Reminds me of many happy times. Thank you and happy hopping to you and all here 👍🤝
@hampshireoutdoorsandsurviv9340 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 cheers Cully, they may come across as timid... but get in the way of their usual path amd they dont half get rowdy lmao. Hope you've had a good weekend and will respond in due course to mail. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼
Great video, you do hear some strange noises in the woods at night. But a quick search on UA-cam will normally identify the culprit. It's surprising how such small critters can make such big noises. Barn owls screeching still make me jump though. 🤣 🤣
Yes indeed, we still get the same... but stay super quiet, open the doors and we even call back to the Tawneys... male and female calls, we should do a video on them. But what beautiful nature we have all around us and more to be in wonder of, than fear of. Thabks for your comments and support, HAPPY HOPPING Cully 👌🏼 👍🏼
I'm new to camping, city guy not used to the woods. 1st night on a campsite in France about 1am, I heard a dog snarling and barking right outside my tent. The shock when sleeping and you suddenly hear that freaked me out. It wouldn't stop, after 5mins or so, I sat up, composed myself and played the Carpenters full volume. The dog went away...phew! Looking back the smell of food in my tent may have attracted it.
@christopherleighton4014 on a campsite 😬 we'd have just sorted it from the site owner with a phone call from the tent. But cheers for your comment, well done on standing your ground... it's what it's all about. HAPPY HOPPING Cully 👌🏼 👍🏼
Great video guys, no scary stories here it’s been a pleasure every time in the woods, I get more paranoid going into the city, that’s where the psycho’s actually are

Only farmer I ever heard of shooting someone was that farmer (in the fens I think) who after being repeatedly burgled finally snapped and shot two burglars leaving his house after burgling him yet again, he killed one of them and he got a long sentence for manslaughter. Although the law was changed after this incident so that it was no longer a crime to defend your home it doesn't apply to landowners shooting people camping, wild or otherwise on their land. The land may on paper belong to only a few privileged few individuals and organisations like the national trust (run by liberals who suprisingly act like Nazis) but the land belongs to the people, and providing no damage is caused then what's the problem. If that posh prick who owns part of Dartmoor and is appealing to the supreme court to stop people camping on his land were to win then you can expect large scale trespass walks and camps in protest to get the laws changed as they did back in the early 20th century.
Exactly! Too damn true and no one really seems to rise up anymore. We're getting it in every 'whole' 😉, but let's face it, the more the poor are restricted... how long is it before they rise? The elites would be out numbered exponentially. 🧐🤔 HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

Hey guys, don't worry about what anyone thinks, In any situation you'll always have the good mixed in with the bad, unfortunately that's the way it is, Don't let the worthless comments get to you.
