It would be a shame if one day you did decide to stop producing UA-cam content because your vids are really good 🥰 And I would miss them dearly. This said, from what i've seen since discovering "Sommit or Nothing" you are a very "creative" chap so I figure you'll end up doing something else before long 👍 In the meantime, all my best to you and Nath
Still got some gas in the tank yet, Quintin. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Not commented for a while Trev but really wanted to encourage you to keep going. You have built a great channel & im sure most understand if you need to slowdown on the content creation but dont STOP FFS!
Thanks Steve. I will keep on keeping on! Cheers!
Great Q&A insight Trev. Life is full of peaks and troughs, stick with it... over 18k followers on YT are here for a reason 👍🏼ATVB
Cheers John. Yea, it'd be a shame to quit now. Just slowing a little at the moment but still got more adventures in us yet.
Trev the content in your vids is a good mix of informative and fun a hard mix to achieve keep them coming
Cheers John. Glad you enjoy them. Cheers.
I think your Q&A videos are great. Gives another insight into you and the channel. I discovered your channel back when you were just approaching the 5k subs. Your videos are what got me into wild camping in the first place. I binge watched your channel for weeks. Your honesty is spot on and it would be a real shame for you to stop making videos. I think we would all be devastated but your mental health is extremely important, so look after yourself . Thank you for the work you put in to keep us entertained, all the best for the week ahead 👍
Thanks very much. It's been a good laugh building up subs and footage. I still got a little more fuel in me yet, though. Cheers for watching!
Nice one Trev I enjoyed this one mate, watched it from the top of the sugarloaf mountain in the tent 🤘☕️
Cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed it, cheers!
Good evening Trev, we really enjoyed this, as always your humor and honesty come across brilliantly, so pleased to hear your Himalayan adventure is still alive and hiking! We have looked at that Dartmoor trail too, very interesting! Stay safe and well and keep that balance going as best you can, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ❤👍☕
Cheers guys! Hoping once the kids get back to school I'll have a bit of time to myself and get out in that trail perhaps. Thanks for watching , cheers!
Don’t stop trev! Where would I get my hit of Dartmoor from? Can’t afford the diesel every weekend to drive for 4hrs each way!
I know nothing about making a UA-cam channels. As a viewer I don’t mind waiting an extra week for a video you wanted to make rather than felt you had too.
Building the channel to 50k subs is great but if you are burnt out in 6 months then it’s rubbish.
Videos I would like to see are: more family camping tips, equipment etc (I loved the last one) your food ones are fun for a break from freeze dried meals and hopefully less time consuming (plus can be done to make family meal), test night in the garden of the cheapest tent you could find new, your walks are lovely but if the south coast path is too much (financially and time wise) Dartmoor sights are still beautiful, anything with Dartmoor legends, Naths kit list was great.
Basically you have a community who support you and only want the best for you and the channel. You provide a highlight of our week (I am not sure if that’s a good thing or not 😉) and we feel we know you. So please remember your Patreon’s if you need help or reassurance that a week off is ok. We support you because we believe in your channel and your talent.
Anyhow I am sounding American now so will leave you too it!
Cheers Christopher. A really great comment there. I havent had a lot of choice but to slow production during these busy times, if anything it's the Patreons that seem to have taken a hit, as I haven't had any exclusive vids on there for a good while, but I'm hoping that the winter will offer me more opportunities than the summer had.
Thanks ever so much for sticking by me, your support is always greatly appreciated!
@@SummitOrNothing not a problem at all. Let’s be honest the core of the channel was always normal people enjoying the outdoors and camping. You enjoying it, is as big a part of it as going into the wild.
No pressure from us!
Nature hike should send you a backpack …. they have a ton of light weight packs in various cubic capacities and weights …. are you listening NATUREHIKE !!!!
🤣🤣🤣 You never know what they may send.... cheers Dave
Trev, really enjoyed the q&a, thank you.
Life is a real bugger as it doesn't half get in the way at times. You've added so much content to S-O-N over the years that it's totally understandable that you'd feel like you've burnt out from time to time. As a personal thing, I absolutely LOVE your SWCP walks and relish watching those. I've started rewatching them!! haha. Whilst you may have climbed some Tors more than others so I can understand you might be concerned about repetition creeping in, there is always something unique about each time you do it. Whether it's a solo walk or with Nath or another guest, it'll be unique to that day, be it because of the weather, or someone you talk to, it'll still offer something new to the viewer. I would imagine *Wedding season* is chaotic now this year, especially as so many couples had to cancel last year. My friend's daughter got married on the 14th after having to postpone it twice before. Thank you for helping to make cherished memories for the lucky couples whose weddings you're capturing on film. Yes, we might all be hungry for new content, but.. family first and foremost. Make the most of the free time you have with them, the days go by so quickly, blink, and whoosh... years have rolled by. So don't worry about spending time with them; make the most of it... We'll all still be here for the times you're able to get back out there. Have a great week Trev. x
Thanks Julie. Great to read comments like that. SoN has slowed a bit bit its still one of the more enjoyable parts of my life, so I shouldn't think it'll stop anytime soon. Cheers for your support!
Hi Trev, I'm enjoying following your channel. Friday night I finally took the Cloud Up 3 for a camp with my partner. It didn't fail us and really pleased with the cost of it. Thanks for that particular review recently. A great purchase. Have a great week and hope you find some time to relax and chill out xx
Thanks Rachel. Glad that you enjoyed the CU3. I'm happy with all my Naturehike tents. And yea, got a family holiday soon so looking forward to leaving it all behind for a bit. Cheers!
Great chat fella ,keep it going cracking channel 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Love this. Thanks
Thank you!
Hi Trev. I enjoyed the Q&A. As others have said, it would be a shame to see you stop making videos. But also, you've got to do what's right for you. I find it hard to make weekly uploads - and there is little in the way of a 'reward' for your efforts (neither do I have kids).
I'd still be happy to see fortnightly videos from you, if that was more practical. As you say, there are so very many channels out there, there's always another to watch in the mean time. I've seen some go chasing "the dream" of doing this full or part-time... We all think about it. But the quality of their content changes and I find myself less interested in their regular videos.
Anyway, hope you have a good weekend and get out for another camp soon, whether you film it or not. :-) All the best.
Great Q&A... Always interesting...
Thanks Max
Walk The Wight , is happening on the 12th September for the Mountbatten charity . You could have a long weekend camp with the family and do a day of that =-)
Don't stop Trev. Me and my son love watching your wildcamp vids....
Thanks Gordon. We'll still be here for the time being.
Never stop, you and Nath inspire too much. Would rather see less frequent content than none. Best wishes to you both
Here here inspired me to do three peaks...bloody near on killed me...but I did it
@@janeseacombe9078 good on you, had us up snowdon lol
Cheers guys!
Well done Jane! Dis you do them all at once or each at a time? We still have to try all three at once
@@SummitOrNothing during the course of a week , I think if you wanted to do them in 24 hours you would have to have a designated driver
Thank you for all the work you put in i love watching your wild camps and a quick tip for you eat more calories in your evening meal then youll have more fuel to burn at night so your not freezing although when your monging due to the cold n wet you come out with the funniest of things so unfortunately for you very entertaining mate lol. Your both top people and the can do attitude you both have is brilliant youve kept me informed and entertained this lockdown so from a military veteran i thank you and the worst thing in the world youve not experienced which is waking up in the morning with a layer of frost on you and you have to put a helmet on with a frozen leather band which which gives you a brain freeze for 5 mins oh happy days lol keep up the great work ive just purchased a Vango mirage pro 200 because of your vidoes so thank you, at 52 and full of pain in the morning i now need tents instead of bashas when i go on my travels. Thank you again and keep up the fab work your doing :-)
Thanks Gareth. Top tip about eating late at night, I usually do save my meal to the very last minute during a winter camp especially. I tend to leave my helmet at home though 😅. Cheers for watching, fella!
@@SummitOrNothing two mars bars before bed will give you the calories after your meal and pudding lol rum also good half a bottle later you couldnt care less if your cold lol. Have a fab bank holiday
Hi there, I completed the perambulation two weeks ago. It was a really enjoyable backpacking trip which took me 4 days with 3 nights wild camping at some wonderful spots and an interesting river crossings too. I think you might enjoy it and may be see some new parts of the moor too.
I did video my trip, if you're interested and there is a link in the description to Ian and Caroline's web page for the points you need to pass through. atb Simon
ebb and flow... you produced some great content during these strange times... helped a lot of us get thru it.. np if u gotta focus on other stuff ............................................................................. for abit at least dont stop!!!!!!! :)
Cheers matey.
What is the best hiking pole...
... to beat a difficult tent?
On a serious note, how about doing the "All Tors challenge"?
🤣🤣🤣 Yea that could be a good challenge one day, cheers!
Trev,you do a great job,vids are great buddy,but family first baby ❤️
Yea, things will get moving again once kids are back at school... hopefully
Great q&a 👍
Cheers
That was really cool! I hope you don't stop making the videos but totally appreciate how 'life' gets in the way. I'm going to have to continue my hunt for a good sleeping bag as I can't get on with Mummy bags at all! Still - Bloody love the UL80 and the UL140 :-)
Cheers. Hope you manage to suss out the sleeping bag situation. Thanks for watching
Nice one, Trev. I am pleased to still be here as your 300th sub all that time ago! I'm surprised you didn't say Great Links was your favourite tor but as you say there are so many to choose from! I believe you still have the Dartmouth - Torcross stretch of the South-West Coast Path to do; if you would like some company give me a shout. Not only is it local to me but I'd like to walk that section and revisit Slapton Sands which is a fairly monotonous section because it is all shingle and flat. ATB Max.
Cheers Max, glad you're still here. I did completely forget Great Links, one of my favourites. Maybe a top 10 tors video is needed.
Listening intently in a tent to the creepy sounds
It can be intense in tents ⛺
You should work in parliament with an answer like that Trev! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Always wondered what the point is in hiking through the outdoors and beautiful surroundings to then watch films etc. Surely that's the same as being at home in the end, no? ha ha. Cheers for the vid mate!
14 hours in a tent in the winter, always glad to have a film to watch to pass a couple of hours and take my mind off my blue fingers and toes 🤣

It doesn’t matter what you put out on video all ways enjoy them 👍
Thanks Steve. Our next episode is of paint drying lol.
@@SummitOrNothing as long as dose not run 😂
I would love to see a multi day hike. Long enough that you get comfortable being out there.
Yeq, me too. May have to sort something soon, George, cheers!
Great insights, Trev👍 I wonder if Naturehike saw your One Tigris setup vid and thought they'd better keep you sweet? 😁 ATB!👍
Hahha.... they may well have lol. Cheers for watching, Des.
Back to noises and such creeping you out Trev,,I'll never forget my first time wild camping Dartmoor and hearing vehicles over the cattle grids in the wee hours and thinking WTF?? 🤣🤣
Hahha.... yea I could imagine that noise startling you in the midnight hours lol.
@@SummitOrNothing that sound travels for bloody miles as well mate doesn't it? 😂
Trev how long did your UL 80 mattress lasted, did you managed to repair it ?
DONT YOU DARE GIVE UP YOUR UA-cam CHANNEL!!!! Just saying lol
I don't intend to. More to come for the time being. Cheers!
Why is it held to you should post a video once a week or more. I often compare videos, for example Kraig Adams with you, but with him it is also quite irregular. You also have to have that many subscribers to earn something from it. Respect for the people who continue. I hope you keep going and I don't care I just watch when something is posted again even if it's in a month or more and it can also be a nice post about how hard it is to combine your life with a You Tube channel. Sometimes I watch the older videos.
First 😂👍
Ta-daaaaa!
@@SummitOrNothing 😂 cheers for the vid trev. Interesting to hear your answers. I've been doing a few reviews lately instead of trips and they seem to do better than most other vids but still can't wait to get out there again soon. Just got the 3 season inner to my Lanshan so hoping to try that out before the weather turns again. Atb 👍 (p.s. I've been asked by a couple of viewers why I don't colab with you as I do dartmoor so much hence that question but I know you're flat out and no doubt get inundated with people asking. Might meet one day on the Moor you never know) 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper yea, reviews get good views but to me, not as fun putting them together as an adventure vid. And I'm sure we will get put together at some point. I did intend to step up the collabs this year... just never happened
@@SummitOrNothing I must admit I've had a few invites but maybe I'm just too picky 😂 see you on the next one. 👍
👏👏👏 I’m on a camp atm or I would have taken 1st place lol
