"Take only photographs, leave only footprints." One of my favourite sayings. The Serenity pray you read out has another (not so nice) version with the last line being "Grant me the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off!" Not nice, but I was definitely amused by it. Great video mate, top spot, and you definitely need to go back and camp on the rock near the creek. 😃
Good to see the mental health conversation. Most people run a mile if one starts to talk of their problems. People offer help/ advice if we have work or injury etc but as soon as we mention in the head issues most people suddenly change the subject or leave. More please. 🖒
Hey Simon, it’s been a while & thanks for your valued feedback. Yes, I try to create videos that teach & inspire my viewers rather than creating around whats most watched or mindless entertainment. Glad it resonated with you. 👋 Be sure to see my latest due out this week, where I teach people how to wildcamp & what gear to bring.
Great vid Dave. That tent is the perfect colour for a stealth camp, blended in perfectly. I can also recommend the backcountry mashed spuds over the supermarket ones. I find that it better seasoned. The supermarket ones ive tried have been a bit bland. Sweet kitchen setup you had in this one!
Aw thank you George. The mash is a cheap revelation. I like fresh coffee but the grinder carry & use is more for the video. It's my hope that people are a little bit more knowledgeable after watching my videos rather than just the consumption of empty calories into their bodies by watching frivolous entertainment.
Haha, yes it was a great cook up, the mash is a revelation. Sadly though I’ve put the weight on again, it’s a constant struggle, see ua-cam.com/video/ZzT2HOLK9PU/v-deo.html where I confess in greater personal depth about it.
@@OutdoorsmanDave yes got to be careful at our age Dave. I do weight training, lots of walking, calorie counting works good for me. I was up at 100kg in 2020 and managed now to normally stay below 90kg. Just need to stay less than 20% body fat which is this years resolution
Sorry Dave, something technical. Your voice is only on the right channel. Listening to this using headphones gives me vertigo. I couldn't finish the video. Because of that. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I’m thinking I’ll go back, clean up one of them blue tarps and use it to protect my tent on that rock - in 2024 and bring tarp out with me

Thanks Jarrod, yes I’m very pleased with it all round actually
It's always a bummer to have to pick up after others. Thanks for doing that. Nice video, I've taken to stealth camps in some areas myself.
Thanks, now I’ve got the tent I’ll likely do more too.
Looks like a great time
It really is Dave, I can’t understate how calming it is to camp this way.
@@OutdoorsmanDave outstanding- glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for this Dave!!! Im a new subscriber.
Welcome on board, next video up is the rubbish retrieval from that first spot, I just can’t think of a good title, any recommendations?
Wow Dave you've stepped up your game, full on dinner and breakfast (yum !!!) and real ground coffee (nice). Great video !!! With words of wisdom too.

Great to see you back at it Dave. Great video.
Thanks Les, tomorrow I return with an empty pack and try and remove some of that rubbish
!Good to see another bloke who doesn’t skimp on food in the bush! 🇳🇿 🥝

@@davidneal6920 well done, I was @ 99 at my worst too. Keep up the discipline
Watching now. 😁👍
You were the first person I thought of, what did you think?
Looking good with that Trangia.
Always loved Trangia cooking, the triangle is sensible, pity about the lack of views, what do you think, thumbnail too busy 🤣
@@OutdoorsmanDave You're asking me? I dunno. I wish I did. It seems some work, others dont and Im not sure why.
Seems none of mine have worked since Jan 2023, it’s a lot of effort for very impact, I’ll change it and see if it helps?
@@OutdoorsmanDave Always worth a try. Having a look at my analytics, its all retention rate. The higher the retention, the more the views continue.
Sorry Dave, something technical. Your voice is only on the right channel. Listening to this using headphones gives me vertigo. I couldn't finish the video. Because of that. Hope this helps.
Thanks Peter, I’m aware and have been researching into this DJI mic phenomenon. It sounds ok via cell phones but yes headphones are impacted.
Just out of interest did you weigh your gear I am trying to get my weight below 14 kgs but its a struggle
Hey John, no but typically my wildcamp gear kit out weighs in at around 18-20kg. 14kg is light, what you upto, a big multi day?
