Been a fan of your channel for years Rick - from back in the days of your allotment and early van builds. Really got into your drive outs and ramble/ chats to camera. I love their unstructured nature- it really is like being out with a mate, when you end up chatting about anything and everything together; the time flies and you can’t wait to go out wandering again soon. I hope you keep up your great work for many years to come - it helps many cope with life’s challenges.
What a WONDERFUL walk in the woods in the Ancient Forest, its so amazing to get out into nature when its blue skies and dry and yes haha blue skies in UK and Ireland in Winter really is a rarity, I actually found this video so relaxing and the sound of you walking with the sound of the footsteps was like ASMR to the ears itself it was so relaxing, so wonderful with the Eagles and Woodpecker, I haven't heard one for years, it would be so cool to hear you talk about your views on the supernatural, U.F.O's, Ghosts etc, thanks so much for sharing the wonderful walk and chat with us Rick and sending lots of love and happiness from across the Irish sea XXXX
Forest walks are great, learning what the different types of trees, plants or fungi is can be quite interesting - foraging can be quite interesting too
Love your videos. I've said it previously, but it's like having a chat with an old friend. Not that you're old, just that I have been following you for many years.. love that you give so many things a go and take us along with you. G'day from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 😀
I don’t really have a subject preference, i like to listen to you ‘rambling’…i enjoyed this vlog while sitting crocheting & sipping tea. I wouldnt mind if you stuck to one subject per video or continued rambling…all nice and relaxing of an afternoon of craft without me having to pay too much attention to the the screen. Thank you for sharing your time with ‘me’. 😊
Hey Rick, a really lovely enjoyable video. Not snobby to mention litter etc, quite right. I have to say Rick you look wonderful , so happy and relaxed with no tension at all. Totally different to the diet videos ! I think us English people mostly appreciate the changing seasons and climate of the UK I love cosy Winter evenings by the fire and also the lighter longer Summer days. I’m nervous of walking alone in a forest, I wish I could. I don’t fear wild animals at all but worry about other humans who can often be more dangerous. Keep up whatever you’re doing at the moment Rick that makes you look so well. Congrats again on the video, loved the Woody Woodpecker and all of it . More please.xxx
If I had buzzards circling above me, I'd check myself for a pulse and get the heck out of there. But what I like about this new series of videos is the great variance of topics. Watching a video with just talking about diet or just cleaning can get dull. This is a nice outdoors environment and a wide range of very interesting topics. And if I suddenly burst into a sprint anywhere there'd BETTER be plenty of people around to carry me to the ambulance
Hey Rick! Can I just say I've enjoyed your Videos since i discovered you in 2011 way back when you got the Allotment and have always enjoyed all your content! Joe from Northern Ireland
Wales might be a good shorter trip, Rick, to see how a trip up to Scotland would feel. I would LOVE to float along with you up to Scotland. Only if it felt comfortable, of course!! And briefly about your comments about the weather.. I was in Los Angeles years ago with a friend who had moved there. It was raining, and she was nearly in tears to see the rain, so tired of the unending blue sky she was. We all need some variety! Lovely video!!
I live in Australia, Sydney. While I love our beautiful climate, and endless sunny days, but at times I long for a week of rain. We often get rain at night, and sunny warm days, even in winter. A very cold winter's day here is 11c, but the nights can get down to 2c and occasionally minus 1 or 2. Very rare to get frost where I live, but love it when we do as it looks spectacular. We do get lots of foggy mornings in winter. I never take our weather for granted, I know we truly are the lucky country. Especially that I am able to grow almost all my fruit, veg, and nuts year round. G'day from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 😀
Would love a whole video of you doing one of your Japan train VR journeys. Like this talking about things on your mind except in Japan on a VR train.😂 I was lucky enough to go to Japan a few years ago and it’s only made my obsession with the place even greater. You would love it for sure. It lived up the hype in my brain. Another great video Rick. Keep em coming.
Today here in the northeast part of the US was about 40 degrees above normal for February and the sun was shining which is unusual for this area, and making it feel even warmer. I was thinking the same thing that it is appreciated when a brighter warmer day comes. Many people at the park and children at the playground and owners and their dogs enjoying the beautiful day. I am glad you are taking little bits of excursions and I can tell it’s enjoyable and relaxing for you. Somehow I think that experiences along your way are metaphors for your life. Paths to take, bluer skies than ever, sounds in the forest, little toy along the way 😊 I can understand you not wanting to discuss your 72 day way of eating but your should be very proud and beating the sugar addiction. I hope the itching that was quite the pain is subsided as you’ve not mentioned it ❤ take care
I find that people acknowledge each other more in the environment you are walking in, and the subliminal message is, “please don’t be a mad axe murderer, and bury me in the woods”
It may sound bizarre but it's nice to listen to you nattering on about random stuff like in this video - or simply pottering around the house. I don't necessarily care about a specific topic, it's just nice to hear thoughts from someone else "ordinary" who's making his way through life.
Hi Rick, really nice video, your calming voice and the lovely sunshine, in nature, is healing. Regarding the big black Puma type cats. Two different times I saw one when I lived near Exmoor, once from my bedroom window in daylight and the other time I went out in the dark to get my horses in. I usually just had to call and they would come trotting in to their stables for the night, but this night they didn’t so I went to see what was wrong, with a powerful torch, and in the gateway were these eyes staring at me, not deer, not fox etc. being a country person I knew the difference. I started shaking nervously and slowly walked backwards, keeping the torch on the big cat. I must say it was beautiful and the neighbouring farmer showed us a sheep skin where the cat had eaten the sheep but left the skin. A gentleman who lived on Exmoor and wrote a book about the sightings included photos of the footprints locally, so they do exist but would never attack you in the woods when they can catch deer etc.
As for the subject ideas, I'd be at least interested in a 5 minute tour of your VR setup. And I for one at least appreciate the truck driving videos. The VR chat alternate world type stuff isn't up my chimney, but maybe it is for others. Speaking just for myself, I'm not really looking for an instructional or how to. But another video idea: Take us "behind the scenes" making a video for Honest Guys. Kind of like viewing the script, preparation, a bit of the recording, editing, etc.
We love to hear your take on any subject you find interesting Rick...it's always nice to get someone else's take on it...I'm wondering what are your thoughts on ufos, aliens, nephilim etc? Sorry I'm one of those strange birds 🐦 that ask the weird questions everyone dreads lol 😂
Well this is the kind of video I do! I was out with the woodpeckers and birds of prey today at Derby Hill Bird Observatory. On another note, My Google Nest Hub mistakenly got me hooked on some of your old vids. Good heavens you've been vlogging since at least 2011! And I watched you clear that "allottment" and start planting things. (I haven't gotten to what you finally yielded yet.) I liked your three minute "wine while planting seeds vid." Allotments were new to me, and kinda weird cuz I could fit about 6 in my poor unused back yard! And you had those lovely long locks and looked quite the heartthrob! LOL Not that you aren't now, but hey, we all looked so much more dewey 12 years ago didn't we!
Rick you have the biggest and best subject to learn and talk about all around you when out walking. Nature itself. Learn what the different trees are or toadstools or insects etc etc. The birds were buzzards which you said but then you said Eagle afterwards. There are Golden Eagles etc in Scotland. 😀
It’s a good point, nature has so much to offer. “eagles” is my go-to term for birds of prey, like some people say “I’m doing the hoovering” even though they are using a Dyson vacuum cleaner 😂👍❤️
I enjoy your outside videos especially when you are walking with Alex Rigby ,I love the church tours and you both have a lovely sense of humour .Maybe a talk on your beliefs in life ,if you have a faith and I could tell how uplifting the beauty of nature made you feel .Trees are wonderful for that ,the birds were singing to welcome you 😊
Hi~We're having blue skies at the moment as well, with the promise of 67 degrees. Well, that's today; tomorrow a front roars down from Canada and it brings with it 7 to 8 inches of snow for us, with the threat of tornadoes in some parts of Michigan. Gemini's like variety, don't forget. Speaking of signage. Living on the edge of a Great Lake, naturally we have roads that lead down to the shores of Lake Michigan. And, of course, they're dead ends. Why on earth do they need bright obnoxious red and yellow ones warning that the road ends in l00 feet or so, when you can clearly see the lake just ahead of you. Oh, and there's also a very substantial barricade blocking the road?! You mention sightings of "cats", which can have a range of 200 or more miles. I have personally sighted panthers, wolves and Bears and more around here. Remember I chased a wolf? What was I thinking!? I stay out of the woods now. I love your ramblings, and your wonderful voice makes them all the better. XX
pluto is entering aquarius currently which is a major change. very interesting times ahead! it changes signs every 20 years on average. it's a new era.
That sprint idea sounds dangerous, especially for us in our 50s. A sudden jolt from still to maximum could strain or pull muscles, snap ligaments, extend things in our skeletal structure. The premises of short intense exercise is included in a HIIT session. But do your warm ups and cool downs to prevent any strains. Michael Moseley has a ten minute one on here, UA-cam. I do it each Sunday morning.
Lovely walk in the forest Rick - are you in competition with Sean? You had that walk all to yourself apart from the noisy little people at the beginning but you soon dodged them. Please take your phone with you next time you were beginning to make me scared talking about strange noises and weird happenings deep in the forest!
Thank you for the lovely walk, Rick. We are experiencing something called an 'Alberta Clipper' here in Manitoba, and we've had a howling blizzard overnight (winds up to 70kph), making walking out impossible today! (-30C). Interestingly, by Thursday, +3C. TOPICS for consideration: Extraterrestrial life: Sightings. Are they here already? ; Climate Change, Overpopulation, Crime and the impact on health; Zen and the art of appreciation and gratitude. I really appreciate your chats on all subjects, as you have a very measured, open minded and calm approach to life. I get out to my local forest every chance I get, however yesterday I was taken aback by the rising wind gusts which cut my walk very short. Glad to see you out and about. That forest will be lovely in the summer...
@@rickvanmanIt was quite a storm overnight with high winds and pelting ice against the siding. Rough sleeping, but today was sunny and cold...tonight -29C...but Friday +3C. March coming in like a lion...let's hope she leaves like a lamb!
funny, we have so many things in common. i was going to comment something to that effect on your nature matrix channel but i know you're not active there so i didn't bother. but i've gone through a similar process and thinking as what you describe there. it feels so unique and personal but now i think it's a normal process in one's 30's.
by the way, you can also make yogurt at home. it's even more simple than sauerkraut. we make it all the time. this way you control what goes into it. because even here, in the homeland of yogurt, bg that is, store-bought yogurt is known to have some questionable additives, such as not real milk. you can even add beneficial strains of bacteria that are not part of the original yogurt mix. i've read people add bacilus coagulans which is one of the very best. so the process goes like this: first you need a starter so you either buy a packet of bacteria or you get 2 spoons of plain, fresh yogurt. you boil 1l of milk and cool down to 42-44 degrees Celsius. stir in the starter and keep some place warm so the milk doesn't cool below that temperature. after about 4-5 hours, it should be coagulated and solid. we usually know it's ready if there's a bit of water on top. you can also taste with a spoon. then put in the fridge. it will firm up further. like true connoisseurs, we like it more sour so we keep it fermenting longer. keep a fresh spoon or two for the next batch. usually 1-2 spoons is enough for half a liter of milk.
Lovely and peaceful in the woods, mostly. Did you register Gwenavre as a motor caravan? Not many do nowadays or was your convertion before they changed the criteria.
can't remember if i shared or not, but here's my idea for a new hobby: astrology. you can also talk about what you know and how you feel about it at this point. it's a great rabbit hole. i've been digging for more than 10 years now.
actually kefir has a more diverse bacteria mix than yogurt. you can get a starter for it. i bought a few packets but never got around to it because we have the kefir grains themselves. but the starter might be easier for you than caring for the grains.
Do a search on Amazon for “OBD2 Bluetooth 4.0 Diagnostic Scanner Code Reader”. Mine said it was compatible with iOS in the title and description. Was about £12. I’m using an iOS app called Car Scanner 😊🤣
Another question about vr... Have you played piano vision? Looks like a good way to learn new songs. I've never played piano, so it's pretty difficult starting. Smash drums is easier to get into for me.
Nice walk, what are you allowed to take for protection in the UK? Too bad you weren’t able to stay carnivore long enough to test out the “not getting sunburned “ outcome. 34:23
@@rickvanman That is very sad, how is one to feel safe walking alone? I take pepper spray and a taser. What about a slingshot? They can’t be illegal????
Lovely vlog, soooo relaxing. Now, ASMR is great - soft, gentle brushing is good, or finger/hand rubbing. Have a look at Whispers Red, especially when she’s done an ASMR with her husband.

Lovely vlog, soooo relaxing. Now, ASMR is great - soft, gentle brushing is good, or finger/hand rubbing. Have a look at Whispers Red, especially when she’s done an ASMR with her husband.
