Hi Adz, I don’t normally comment on your videos, but I’ve been a subscriber pretty much since you started and have really enjoyed watching every one of them. 👍However, on this occasion, I feel compelled to say firstly thank you for everything you do to entertain us and secondly don’t beat yourself up about the camera and the the video footage. The important thing is you’re safe to tell the story. Cameras can be replaced and you still your memories of that lovely last day. It doesn’t matter that you haven’t got the footage, it’s not the end of the world. I know UA-cam is very important to you but not as important as your life. Stay safe. All the best. Mark
Hi Adz.....feel heart sorry that the end footage was taken from you, and I think it would have been great for the viewers like myself. But I'd rather have you safe and able to share more entertainment on your road trips. But the big picture is that you're safe and well, albeit with a bit of a dent in your confidence that seemed to show in tonight's video, which is understandable. Please, please, please keep doing what you do well, keeping us entertained with your exploits. Thomas
Adz mate, we have loved every second of your trip and your misfortune is felt by all of us. It is a shame for you but you aren't injured and we are all still tuning in. They will get their dues one day.
Bloody hell dude, people are dicks! At least you are OK, it’s so not worth loosing your life over a camera. Maybe you need a spare key and backup phone in the safe. Get a key that can’t start the van but open the door in a secret key safe location on the van. Better to be prepared just in case and then you might not have to worry too much about not having the van or a phone. Thanks for laughs dude been good to watch apart from this one :(
Damn Adam so sorry that happened, the last day sounded epic. But it doesn't take away from the whole experience and memories live on in your head. Grateful you're ok, thanks for the best series on UA-cam and looking forward to whatever you do next! ✌
Adz bless you pal. My friend got stabbed in the leg there many moons ago when we were squaddies in Germany and went down for a weekend. He refused to hand over his camera after one of these scallies wanted it after saying my friend had caught him on a picture he'd just took by a bridge around that area. You definitely made the right decision.
its been an amazing series buddy, we are all gutted you couldnt of shared it with us. but you did the right thing, the bigger man always walks away. cant wait for the next AdzVenture where ever it may take you.
You did the right thing Adam. It's not worth risking your life for. Things can be replaced, your life can't. Lucky they didn't get your van keys or want your phone. I'd carry a cheap second phone with a few contacts in case of an emergency, and maybe a second van key hidden on your person. Most remotes have a compartment with an emergency key. Keep the key separate with you, if that's an option. Love what you do. Keep going.
I've just been reading through your comments and I just have to say, what an amazing bunch of subscribers you have. So many people care about you and love watching your channel Adz! 😊 It's so heartwarming to see the amount of support being shown for you. ❤
Been watching your Channel for a while now and even got my wife hooked. Gutted for you with your last night in Amsterdam. The European trip has been amazing to watch back… Look forward to the Christmas special 😊
Dude, I'm so sorry to hear that. Before said incident, that last day sounded amazing. You're probably right in not having tried to grab the camera back. All sorts of other awful things could have happened. It wasn't worth the risk. Although we didn't get to see your night out with Sophie, you've got those memories, and nothing can take that away from you. Good to see that you're safe and well. If anything, this warrants a trip back there to see Sophie again and have another night out on the town, albeit with a clearer and safer plan to get out of there. Thanks for these great videos. I've enjoyed watching your whole trip. Gutted for you that it ended on that sour note. However, it's good to see you've got some new kit and are keen to crack on the with the next project. Cheers.
Thank you for all the wonderful footage and the laughs of this trip. It sucks that it ended the way it did but you made the smart decision to walk away and you're home safe and that's what matters most.
Love your channel and its rapid growth is deserved (I have a van too). Sorry to hear this story. I work in Amsterdam for 1 week every year and its a great City. I got robbed in 1993 in France on a motorbike tour of Europe - pre mobile phones and youtube and really the internet was in its infancy - I lost all my 6 rolls of film of my journey so far on my trip - no video - All I cared about was the film rolls. We scoured the beach that we were sleeping on when robbed (slept on the beach as we had no money left) and miraculously found every roll of film - whoever robbed us just discarded the stuff they didn't want.! All i wanted was the photos - stuff can be replaced. this episode resonated with that and took me back - glad you weren't hurt ! Filming around there always going to be sketchy TBH but top Job on making a great episode out of a bad situation (as a fellow content creator I really get it and know how much work it is to do). Cheers - Darren.
Really sorry to hear of your awful experience - pleased you weren’t injured - bless. You do the right thing cracking on, as you say such a shame about the memories. Lovely series - All the very best, David & Rachel 👍🙌
You sir are a legend. Sorry you had this experience. You lived to tell the tale. Your trip has produced some amazing content. Hopefully this doesn’t deter you. Hope you kept in touch with the lady…
Sorry to hear you had to go through that awful incident! Cameras can be replaced, and you are safe! and I will still continue to watch your videos.. they are great, and I really look forward to them. Onwards to the next chapter!
Really sorry mate. You were clearly upset about it. Maybe look at a little hard case for SD cards and stuff it down your sock in future and maybe hide a spare van key in a lockable box someone on the van chassis. Chances are tho this is a one off. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. I'm glad you're okay. I look forward to your adventures every week. You did the right thing by not trying to fight with them. You never know for sure what the other guy is going to do, and nothing is as important as your life! Take care!
Adz I am absolutely gutted that you have had to deal with being robbed I’ve really enjoyed watching these videos your a top guy with a top channel sending love, hugs & positive energy from Sarah in Manchester xx❤️
Thanks for all the time your put into your travels. We look forward to every episode. I am too unwell to travel now but you make me feel like I'm there. Thankyou ❤
Good Man - walk away!! Material possessions can be replaced; you can't be! A small contribution towards a replacement... Best wishes for Christmas & New Year bud.
Blimey Adz that was hard to take in pal. You did the right thing in walking away. Least you’re still here pal. Look after yourself & have a good Christmas.
Adam it’s been a great series and it’s such a shame the way it ended, I’m glad you’re ok and safe, can’t wait for your next adventure I love your videos, have a great Xmas and a good new year
So sorry you had to go through this. I’d agree that you made the wisest decision. I understand how gutting it must be to lose these last memories but I have really enjoyed this series and seeing the countries you have visited.
Really sorry to hear Adam, but you did the right thing, your still alive to film further adventures, but from a wiser perspective now. When i travel, i have a spare key locked away in a ordinary keysafe, fixed to the underneath of the van. My genuine phone and wallet are well and truly tucked away when i sleep and i leave the snide wallet (with a prepaid travel card (very low amount of cash on card)and receipts etc to pad it out and an old mobile phone on a shelf in the van. If i get broke into, thats the one their gonna go for. Glad your still with us mate!
I'm sorry this happened to you mate, your adventures are among the best of van lifers I'm glad to hear you're persevering, looking forward to your Christmas vid
Hey mate, you talk about memories like they are glued to memory cards, they’re not, they are still in your head, good or bad, and you will have them forever. Just because we don’t see them, it doesn’t matter. Just glad you’re ok. Have a great Christmas
You defo made the right decision bro. As much as you want to stand up for yourself in those situations those types of people are scumbags and you have no idea what they will do. I'm glad you came out of it unscathed, a new camera has been bought and all of us followers will be there to support you. That sounded like a class end to the trip and you executed it vocally never mind the missed footage. Take care dude, on ward and upwards 👊🏻
Right, firstly I'm glad you're ok. Secondly I'm also glad that you had such a good last night like you said until the incident anyway. You got those memories for you and no one else out of your whole trip,.which is kinda nice for you. The whole series has been great and I hope this don't take away your confidence in doing more trips. Have a great Christmas and enjoy the Barn party.
Adz did absolutely the right thing in that situation! so great to see the how much love for you on here and on your buy brain cells link too glad you are ok thanks for make us all laugh over the years and glad you are ok.. Vanlife community is here for you❤
You are worth so much more than a camera and a days worth of footage. At least a camera + mic setup and a week's worth a footage, easy. I hope this was a bump in the road rather than a long detour. Looking forward to your next journeys.
Shouldn't be so upset that the footage is lost. That day was actually a blessing. That day wasn't for us, it was just for you and the people around you. You won't forget any of these lessons in a hurry because they had a high enough cost. Be happy you're alright. Develop a cunning plan to protect what you value most. Van key, memory cards etc. Make a good hiding place. Equipment can be replaced. Life above all else. Respect for getting out of it safely. I've enjoyed your journey again. I appreciate the high level of product you're producing. So many places to go and see, so little time to see them. I look forward to more adzventures. You've made a high quality channel.
What’s important you are safe and back home. A camera can be replaced, you can’t. I speak for many here that we really appreciate you and the content you make. If you ever in Colchester,, would love to buy you a pint.
Adam, You absolutely did the right thing to defuse the situation and get out of there. I know how you feel about the lost footage. On my first trip across America and back in the day when cameras had film, I photographed the trip from Florida to New Mexico. While having lunch in a small restaurant someone I was talking to picked up my camera and mistakenly opened the back, exposing the film and I lost all those photos. I still feel a little bad when I think about it but what are you going to do? Stuff happens and you survived a very scary situation. I love your trips and videos and look forward to them. Keep on keeping on Adam and I’ll keep watching!
Really sorry to hear this news. At least you are safe and well, if more than a little pi**ed off. There’s nothing that can be done in that situation other than give them something to get away safely. You did the right thing. It’s part of the adventure, but you’ve still got the memories safe in your mind. I hope you keep making memories.
Bad news Adz, ive been all over the world, brushed with cartels in Mexico, been to Amsterdam, and been in a few iffy situations.But i guess I'm lucky, never had anything happen to me. Thought i was in the s..t in Mexico City, but amazed i was untouched. Very glad you werent hurt, that would have been upsetting. You did the right thing. I would say though, being alone in Amsterdam late at night is not a good position to be in. Anyway its done, have very Merry Xmas, no more dramas!
I know the feeling about the camera. Last big family holiday, in the '70s in Malta. Old school film camera - shots of family in Valletta incl. the Gut (equivalent of red light district) and on boat-trip round a lot of historic stuff, plus shots from archeological sites. We hired a minibus - turns out it had a dodgy window-lock. Went to the beach - camera gone (among other stuff). Never get another chance at those shots.
Hi Adz. Love watching your videos on UA-cam, first time I’ve felt the need to comment. I usually only watch UA-cam on tv but had to find it on my phone after your recent post. I’m so glad you are safe, you absolutely did the right thing. You lost some footage of what sounds like an amazing day, but you are alive to tell the tale. Thank goodness you acted so calmly and saw the situation with the words of your Uber driver in mind. Equipment can be replaced, experiences and journeys are memories that can be made again. You are not replaceable! I hope you recover mentally from your horrific ordeal and continue to do what you love. Take time to heal and try to remember the fantastic times you have had. Your travels are inspiring, your cool and calm demeanour is such wonderful viewing. I’m unable to travel these days due to physical and mental health, but the wanderings you take help ease my anxiety no end. Thank you. You don’t know how much you have helped me since discovering adzventures. Much love. Keep on keeping on! (No idea what that actually means, but hey ho!😂) Much love and Merry Christmas. Carmen. P.S. near Stonehenge if you ever want a tour of the area. Salisbury has a great pub, very old with a ghost story or 2! 😊❤️
Despite the sad ending to this adventure, this series has been up to your usual upbeat and thoroughly entertaining standards. Looking forward to the next year's offerings, have a great Christmas and a happy new year.
No way dude, sorry to hear what happened. Unfortunately theirs pondlife everywhere these days. I would like to recommend one of those mini key safes for under the van for a spare key. Long live the pigeons
Hi Adz, I’m sorry I can’t watch this 😢 you are such a lovely guy. Hope you will get over this and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you are struggling xx
Adz, so sorry to see this happen to you. Don't let it knock your confidence and keep the videos coming. There are many people who can't travel like you do so they live vicariously through your travels. Keep your chin up fella. We all love your channel.
100 % did the right thing walking away. You never know what could have happened. Love the channel and look forward to the next trip. In the meantime get your mojo back with your mates. Merry Christmas 🎉
Thank you for sharing everything You can be certain only good will come from your terrible experience The journey has been amazing you show a different aspect to van travelling You make the world a brighter place Bless you
Sorry to hear your experience…I can say put £100 / € 200 in a concealed case on the outside of your van only where you know and a burner phone and spare key…in a small bolt/screw closes or clip close hidden where only you know…
So sorry to hear about your awful experience. Glad you are safe, that’s all that matters. Always enjoy your videos and the effort that goes into making them. Take care
So sorry you had that experience ❤ Hopefully all your lovely subscribers can find it in their heart to embrace the Christmas spirit and donate what they can to help cover some of the costs of your new camera keep being awesome ❤
I'm gutted you went through such a scary thing but you did the right thing.. Obviously, Id rather not have you telling us you got robbed and I wish it never happened, but you are worth more than a camera and Id rather you let them take it than someone post a video for you postumously telling us you were dead. You are still here. You got another camera and if you can bring yourself to go back you can video again. Buddy, I am so very grateful that the only thing that got damaged was the strap to the camera. Chin up, chill out and get back to being awesome. Much respect as always 🙏- Kenny
What a great series, sad it ended this way, but tech can be replaced, a life can't, just glad that you are ok. Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year and I look forward to your Christmas episode and future ones and travels. Stay safe and take care.
Dude that’s awful to hear. What a crap world we live in, they probably prey on tourists knowing it’s very u likely they’ll ever see them again. Don’t let it put you off continuing to do what you do best. We love your ventures. Have a great Xmas man.
Mate sorry to hear about your experience. Most important you was not injured or worse. I have been watching your video's for short time but have really enjoyed them. Don't let these wasters change any of your future plans as you have been amazing especially travelling alone in all these places. If you are ever in my neck of the woods would be great to say hello. Keep up the great videos and look forward to some more.
Hey Adz I'm gutted for you, but I'm glad you're ok. Really love your videos, and I hope that you continue and, as you say, put that behind you. Keep safe mate
I always liked your channel ever since 'Crusing the Cut' David put me onto you. However it was great to see another side (more human), you really are a mere mortal. I like your 'mad 'side and your human side. Hey, we all go through bad things, and learn so much, just dont let the bastards grind you down
Hi Buddy, that was the right call to make, Amsterdam must have changed a lot, the only thing to worry about was pick pockets once upon a time… keep up the good work and the great content you produce… peace out!
Love your vids mate! Gutted about what happened but you done the right thing to keep yourself safe and fit to film another day for the next brilliant adventure 👊
Gutting end to an absolutely magnificent adventure. Don't be too down about the camera and lost footage....you came away without a scratch. That is the only thing that matters!! Keep going mate 👊👊👊
So sorry that this little episode has taken place. We both think you took the right attitude towards these heathens. Keep smiling whilst looking to the future. Mery Xmas, Roger&Hilary.
Adz, you were wrong about something you said mate, one thing nobody can ever take from you is your memories. Reflect on that for a moment whilst you recount some of the amazing adventures you have already had and I am sure you will move on from this to have many more. As a young man I would have probably said you should have fought back but age, experience and changing priorities taught me you need to pick your battles. This was one battle you did absolutely right to walk away from for all the reasons you have already alluded to. When you are alone in the dark, reflecting upon that night as you will, try to focus upon the great day and evening and not how it ended.
Definitely done the right thing it could have been so much worse you were the bigger man to walk away take care matey. Love the channel and the pigeons adventures
Fab series Adz so sorry you had to experience that, but onwards and upwards it could have been so much worse. Karma will deal with those two losers. Merry Christmas mate and keep doing what you do best. Dave 👍
Really really good mate - so so sorry to hear about what happened. Don't feel you are rambling on when talking about the experience - glad you came out of it unscathed. - mentally scarred but time will heal
OMG Adz, this is terrible 😢 I'm glad you're not physically hurt, and all the people around you will help you mentally through this should you need them to. I hope these low-lives get what they deserve. Much love and big hugs for you ❤ 🤗
You can replace a camera, but you can't replace your life. You made the right choice.
Hi Adz, I don’t normally comment on your videos, but I’ve been a subscriber pretty much since you started and have really enjoyed watching every one of them. 👍However, on this occasion, I feel compelled to say firstly thank you for everything you do to entertain us and secondly don’t beat yourself up about the camera and the the video footage.

Came here to say exactly what mark said.
Take it easy mate. I’ve been in a similar sitch and it knocks you
Adz mate, we have loved every second of your trip and your misfortune is felt by all of us. It is a shame for you but you aren't injured and we are all still tuning in. They will get their dues one day.
You're alive unscathed and you gave us worthy content. Chin up, Crack on. Hope your ok anyway . oh and Merry Christmas
Dams as dangerous as "any city" on earth after dark 💀
Nice donation bro 👍
Wow!
Fair play to pal
May good things come your way.❤
Exactly 💯
Yep. You made the best choice in not escalating the situation. So sorry to hear you experienced that sh1t.
You did the right thing definitely the right thing. You’re here, we are watching you and bloody grateful for that. Put it behind you mate.
Bloody hell dude, people are dicks! At least you are OK, it’s so not worth loosing your life over a camera. Maybe you need a spare key and backup phone in the safe. Get a key that can’t start the van but open the door in a secret key safe location on the van. Better to be prepared just in case and then you might not have to worry too much about not having the van or a phone. Thanks for laughs dude been good to watch apart from this one :(
Thanks, a small contribution, stay safe Adz!👍
Most important thing is you weren't harmed. Glad you got out ok
Damn Adam so sorry that happened, the last day sounded epic. But it doesn't take away from the whole experience and memories live on in your head. Grateful you're ok, thanks for the best series on UA-cam and looking forward to whatever you do next! ✌
Adz bless you pal. My friend got stabbed in the leg there many moons ago when we were squaddies in Germany and went down for a weekend. He refused to hand over his camera after one of these scallies wanted it after saying my friend had caught him on a picture he'd just took by a bridge around that area. You definitely made the right decision.
its been an amazing series buddy, we are all gutted you couldnt of shared it with us. but you did the right thing, the bigger man always walks away. cant wait for the next AdzVenture where ever it may take you.
You did the right thing Adam. It's not worth risking your life for. Things can be replaced, your life can't. Lucky they didn't get your van keys or want your phone. I'd carry a cheap second phone with a few contacts in case of an emergency, and maybe a second van key hidden on your person. Most remotes have a compartment with an emergency key. Keep the key separate with you, if that's an option.
Love what you do. Keep going.

Something for the camera fund. Stay safe and thanks for all the brilliant videos.
Love your channel and its rapid growth is deserved (I have a van too). Sorry to hear this story. I work in Amsterdam for 1 week every year and its a great City.

Blimey Adz that was hard to take in pal. You did the right thing in walking away. Least you’re still here pal. Look after yourself & have a good Christmas.
Glad you are ok mate, it’s such a shame the trip ended the way it did but don’t let it get you down. Your videos are amazing, keep up the good work
Sorry to hear what happened, you 100% did the right thing. Here's a little thanks towards your new camera, loved watching this series.

Have a great Christmas and enjoy the Barn party.
For u and no one else is a nice way to look at it

Cameras and cash can be replaced . Very glad to see you’re ok mate . Chin up , the pigeon army are behind you in strength
Merry Christmas mate. Glad you made it out of there in one piece and with no new holes.
What’s important you are safe and back home. A camera can be replaced, you can’t. I speak for many here that we really appreciate you and the content you make. If you ever in Colchester,, would love to buy you a pint.

Bad news Adz, ive been all over the world, brushed with cartels in Mexico, been to Amsterdam, and been in a few iffy situations.But i guess I'm lucky, never had anything happen to me. Thought i was in the s..t in Mexico City, but amazed i was untouched. Very glad you werent hurt, that would have been upsetting. You did the right thing. I would say though, being alone in Amsterdam late at night is not a good position to be in. Anyway its done, have very Merry Xmas, no more dramas!
I know the feeling about the camera. Last big family holiday, in the '70s in Malta. Old school film camera - shots of family in Valletta incl. the Gut (equivalent of red light district) and on boat-trip round a lot of historic stuff, plus shots from archeological sites. We hired a minibus - turns out it had a dodgy window-lock. Went to the beach - camera gone (among other stuff). Never get another chance at those shots.
Hi Adz. Love watching your videos on UA-cam, first time I’ve felt the need to comment. I usually only watch UA-cam on tv but had to find it on my phone after your recent post.
I’m so glad you are safe, you absolutely did the right thing. You lost some footage of what sounds like an amazing day, but you are alive to tell the tale. Thank goodness you acted so calmly and saw the situation with the words of your Uber
driver in mind.
Equipment can be replaced, experiences and journeys are memories that can be made again. You are not replaceable!
I hope you recover mentally from your horrific ordeal and continue to do what you love.
Take time to heal and try to remember the fantastic times you have had.
Your travels are inspiring, your cool and calm demeanour is such wonderful viewing.
I’m unable to travel these days due to physical and mental health, but the wanderings you take help ease my anxiety no end.
Thank you. You don’t know how much you have helped me since discovering adzventures.
Much love.
Keep on keeping on!
(No idea what that actually means, but hey ho!😂)
Much love and Merry Christmas.
Carmen.
P.S. near Stonehenge if you ever want a tour of the area. Salisbury has a great pub, very old with a ghost story or 2!
😊❤️
Despite the sad ending to this adventure, this series has been up to your usual upbeat and thoroughly entertaining standards. Looking forward to the next year's offerings, have a great Christmas and a happy new year.
No way dude, sorry to hear what happened. Unfortunately theirs pondlife everywhere these days. I would like to recommend one of those mini key safes for under the van for a spare key. Long live the pigeons
Hi Adz, I’m sorry I can’t watch this 😢 you are such a lovely guy. Hope you will get over this and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you are struggling xx
Adz, so sorry to see this happen to you. Don't let it knock your confidence and keep the videos coming. There are many people who can't travel like you do so they live vicariously through your travels. Keep your chin up fella. We all love your channel.
100 % did the right thing walking away. You never know what could have happened. Love the channel and look forward to the next trip. In the meantime get your mojo back with your mates. Merry Christmas 🎉
So pleased you’re ok ❤
Thank you for sharing everything
You can be certain only good will come from your terrible experience
The journey has been amazing you show a different aspect to van travelling
You make the world a brighter place
Bless you
Amazing van 👌
Keep safe Adz! You did the right thing!
Gutted for you Adz but glad you got back OK. Plus the bar maid seemed well nice hopefully we'll see more of your videos soon.
Well done mate love all trips your different from other van lifers. You done the right thing its only a camera. Keep your head keep filming
Sorry to hear your experience…I can say put £100 / € 200 in a concealed case on the outside of your van only where you know and a burner phone and spare key…in a small bolt/screw closes or clip close hidden where only you know…
So sorry to hear about your awful experience. Glad you are safe, that’s all that matters. Always enjoy your videos and the effort that goes into making them. Take care
So sorry you had that experience ❤ Hopefully all your lovely subscribers can find it in their heart to embrace the Christmas spirit and donate what they can to help cover some of the costs of your new camera keep being awesome ❤
Sorry to hear about that bad experience, you made the right decision Adz.
You need to get Sophie over and do a series showing her the best uk park up spots.
Sending all the love pal. Glad your still with us, you definitely made the right choice. X
Oh dear how sad, you did really well though, well done.
Good luck and many thanks for your great videos.
I'm gutted you went through such a scary thing but you did the right thing.. Obviously, Id rather not have you telling us you got robbed and I wish it never happened, but you are worth more than a camera and Id rather you let them take it than someone post a video for you postumously telling us you were dead. You are still here. You got another camera and if you can bring yourself to go back you can video again. Buddy, I am so very grateful that the only thing that got damaged was the strap to the camera. Chin up, chill out and get back to being awesome. Much respect as always 🙏- Kenny
It's been an amazing trip, so glad your safe and well. Gutted for you that you lost the footage but you are more important.
What a great series, sad it ended this way, but tech can be replaced, a life can't, just glad that you are ok. Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year and I look forward to your Christmas episode and future ones and travels. Stay safe and take care.
Just a small donation towards the camera mate. Stay safe.
Dude that’s awful to hear. What a crap world we live in, they probably prey on tourists knowing it’s very u likely they’ll ever see them again. Don’t let it put you off continuing to do what you do best. We love your ventures. Have a great Xmas man.
Mate sorry to hear about your experience. Most important you was not injured or worse. I have been watching your video's for short time but have really enjoyed them. Don't let these wasters change any of your future plans as you have been amazing especially travelling alone in all these places. If you are ever in my neck of the woods would be great to say hello. Keep up the great videos and look forward to some more.
Hey Adz
I'm gutted for you, but I'm glad you're ok. Really love your videos, and I hope that you continue and, as you say, put that behind you.
Keep safe mate
I always liked your channel ever since 'Crusing the Cut' David put me onto you. However it was great to see another side (more human), you really are a mere mortal. I like your 'mad 'side and your human side. Hey, we all go through bad things, and learn so much, just dont let the bastards grind you down
Glad you’re safe ,material things can be replaced onwards and upwards mate
There are some despicable people in this world adz... Don't let it dampen your beautiful soul ❤
Love your content! So sorry that happened to you, glad to hear that you are not letting that incident stop you from continuing.
Hi Buddy, that was the right call to make, Amsterdam must have changed a lot, the only thing to worry about was pick pockets once upon a time… keep up the good work and the great content you produce… peace out!
Just glad you are OK mate,
Love your vids mate! Gutted about what happened but you done the right thing to keep yourself safe and fit to film another day for the next brilliant adventure 👊
Absolutely the right decision - gutted for you but hopefully this will help a little towards the replacement camera.
Gutting end to an absolutely magnificent adventure.
Don't be too down about the camera and lost footage....you came away without a scratch.
That is the only thing that matters!!
Keep going mate 👊👊👊
So sorry that this little episode has taken place. We both think you took the right attitude towards these heathens. Keep smiling whilst looking to the future. Mery Xmas, Roger&Hilary.
I'm sorry that happened to you, but you did the right thing. Cheers Mate, we enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting!
Adz, you were wrong about something you said mate, one thing nobody can ever take from you is your memories. Reflect on that for a moment whilst you recount some of the amazing adventures you have already had and I am sure you will move on from this to have many more. As a young man I would have probably said you should have fought back but age, experience and changing priorities taught me you need to pick your battles. This was one battle you did absolutely right to walk away from for all the reasons you have already alluded to. When you are alone in the dark, reflecting upon that night as you will, try to focus upon the great day and evening and not how it ended.
Stay Safe Adz. Looking forward to the next adventure. Please be careful on these trips.
Definitely done the right thing it could have been so much worse you were the bigger man to walk away take care matey. Love the channel and the pigeons adventures
Gutted for you mate but you made the right move, you're safe which is the most important thing.
Fab series Adz so sorry you had to experience that, but onwards and upwards it could have been so much worse. Karma will deal with those two losers. Merry Christmas mate and keep doing what you do best. Dave 👍
Really really good mate - so so sorry to hear about what happened. Don't feel you are rambling on when talking about the experience - glad you came out of it unscathed. - mentally scarred but time will heal
Thanks for another great series mate. Sorry to hear how it ended but glad your safe, thats the main thing 👍
You did the right thing mate. Sorry to hear about the experience. Loving the films. Keep up the great work fella!👍👍
Keep smiling buddy, love the show and great work.
OMG Adz, this is terrible 😢
I'm glad you're not physically hurt, and all the people around you will help you mentally through this should you need them to.
I hope these low-lives get what they deserve. Much love and big hugs for you ❤ 🤗
You're safe that's the main thing mate, hope you're recovering and starting to get over this isolated incident, stay strong mate. 💪
You did the right thing adz.. you've still got your health mate.Stay safe & well.
I'm Looking forward to your next adzventure.
