Living Off-Grid in the UK in a Tent Part 2 |Ep 30

- Опубліковано 8 гру 2023
- Life living in the woods. Off-grid camping in England - I sit down for a big heart to heart about UA-cam. I make more improvements to my camp with a bigger fire pit, head out for a long hike, only to find a snake!
And the best thing about living off-grid, enjoying more community fire pit meals with the gang.

Don't put yourself down. You are brilliant at vlogging a real natural. You just have to be yourself and watching you out in nature you seem very happy and relaxed. Looks like a great place to experience outdoor living. We could all do with taking stock of our lives and just live in the natural world for a while.
Thanks Mel, that's kind, appreciate that. 🙏 very lovely experience to have in life, that's for sure. Lots of love to you,
Ula and Josh xx
Thank you for being you👌🏼🌳🪵🪱🔥💚
❤️❤️❤️
You did a wonderful job. You are NOT selfish. Not even close. Thanks for sharing what you did, but most importantly, you stay grounded to who you are. It's not just your homes that you keep grounded to the earth. Be your beautiful self and keep on living your dreams. Peace and joy to you, Josh! Blessings to you and Ula!
This was absolutely beautiful to watch. There's no selfishness in wanting an experience for your yourself, so please don't bad for that. Thank you so much for sharing what you did ❤
Hello beautiful Mandy, thankyou so much for your kind words again, really nice reading your comments over the past few weeks. Thankyou, I appreciate them alot!
You're right, it was such a special experience and I'm so glad I was able to take it. Really chuffed you enjoyed watching Mandy, take good care and hopefully see you for the boat stuff too.
Lots of love, ula and josh xxx
I loved this video and you are very good at it,very natural. Thank you for sharing such a great adventure. And taking care of yourself is NOT selfish,its sensible. Love from Marina x
Thank you Josh for sharing some of your wonderful woodland life. You were absolutely right to live in the moment and not think about us all the time!
Thanks for that lovely! It is so nice to be here with you all but also good to make time for just retreating in nature :)
You're doing a wonderful job, Josh. And you're right, we don't have to see everything all of the time, but what you do show us is both wonderful and lovely to watch.
Thanks so much lovely!! I am getting there slowly. Thank you for the kind words
Hi Josh--I really enjoyed Parts 1 and 2 of your off-grid camping experience. Love how you set up your main tent and outer tent, WC (er, Water Tent), kitchen, communal fire, etc. Looked like a great chance to enjoy nature, self reflect, and have new experiences with your fellow campers, snakes, and wildlife. 🪱🪲🐞🦔🐇🐿🐍🌲🌳🏕
Thank you so much Jenny! It really was excellent. I loved the little home I created. Thanks for tuning in x
Appreciate you sharing your world with us
Thanks for that buddy
My granddaughter always reminds me to not open my phone and take pic/videos- says we need to live in and enjoy the moment- am allowed to take a group photo since everyone getting together in our family is rare!
It is so hard to live in the moment in the 21st century (the age of distraction)!!! But always so important to get those family snaps ✨✨✨
Your a top guy mate don’t beat that mind over anything your both lovely people it’s why we follow you 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for that Robert ✨ that means a lot !!
We love you buddy your both smashing it xxxx
❤️✨❤️
Brilliant job Josh. My husband would have loved that loving but he’s a bit long in the tooth now. Well done. 💕
The hanks so much lovely xxx
Sat down with a nice glass of wine. Hope you both are well. Your doing a fantastic job Josh love it xx.
Yeahhhh nice one Rose ✨✨✨ hope you enjoy the episode xx
The summer camp looked amazing. You’re right Josh - absolutely everything is just better when done outdoors.
I think vlogging is actually very time consuming work and much harder than it looks. I completely understand why you’d want some time out. And a little bit of variety is the spice of life! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for that Ruth! As you say it’s a lot of work and work that I am not used to yet. Thank you for the kind words and encouragement x
Selfcare is never selfish ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Meery Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both,have a fabuous time
A very merry Christmas to you and your loved ones too xx
Beautiful video to watch, thank you for sharing ❤❤
Thanks for joining lovely xxx
Hi josh, I've loved your off grid videos and you may not enjoy doing it all the time but you are a natural 😊 I'm sure the fungi you were showing is also called Jewish steak after the polish jews who escaped to the woods in the second world war and basically survived because of this fungi ❤
Oh wow I was not aware of this name. I shall have to look it up :) thanks for that buddy!!
Loved this Josh. X
Thank you 😊
It's a shame Ula didn't feature a lot on her visit. But you don't fool me, I imagine in the short time she spent with you, filming was the last thing on your mind Josh 😄
I'm enjoying this breakaway from the canal, but to be frank, I do prefer your regular narrowboat episodes.
Thanks for that Mate! Yep we are back to boatlife next week Gordon 🏕️✨🛶 see you there x
Hi Josh. What a brilliant video explaining your experience over the summer. It’s definitely important to try and live in the present and not worry too much about what has already happened and what is going to happen. Spending time in nature is so rewarding. You’re doing a great job with filming and sharing your thoughts and experiences mate. Thanks very much 😊Take care. Nick
I think you actually did what vlogging is all about. Capturing the moments but still living your best life. I hate it when people vlogging is posed for type.
I reeaally like this. That's a very good point. It's quickly morphed into amateur TV shows with all the pressure to perform and be the best and have your video shown to everyone for all the likes, comments, and interaction for the platform (whichever it is) to push your video further, and make it even more popular. It's a toxic world - yet, it can be so liberating for both viewer and creator, escapism or educational, or authentically entertaining.. its a crazy world we all now live in.
Lots of love, Ula and Josh (just two people trying to find an enjoyable way to live their life.)
Xx
Just walked past your Boat in Bath. Enjoy the lush city :)
We did indeed! What a beautiful place to spend time!!
Amazing vlog Josh, thanks for sharing this. I have really enjoyed watching something different. Just watching you showing us around your camp has been amazing. You look nice and relaxed in you happy place.
Heya Jane, that's really great to hear, you've enjoyed a little change. Thankyou, glad you have! All done and dusted now, back to Ula and boating on the regular 👍 take good care of yourself lovely, and see you again soon!
All the best xx
Hi Josh - stumbled across living in a tent part 2 yesterday and really enjoyed it. Bizarre coincidence we pulled up just in front of you this afternoon (narrowboat Kraken). Was gonna pop over for a chat later but then noticed you heading off so hey ho...happy trails. Maybe next time
Thank you for sharing, you are a breath of fresh air, a natural just let it flow brother 🙏
Thanks Brother that means a lot ✌️✨
I really enjoyed your of grid living. I like that it was you and your way you do a much better job than I would. I enjoy pl just being themselves and seeing different things. If it seems not flowing out what ever I certainly don't mind because it is real and that is more important for me. The scenery was stunning and how you made you camp comfortable was great. Thank you for sharing your time and thoughts on the woods.
Such great advice there Lynne, thankyou for sharing. It is true, very easy to think you have to perform on UA-cam when you can potentially make money from it, a living from it, and being yourself just doesn't seem entertaining enough, so lovely to read your comment. Good reminder! Thanks. Lots of love Ula and Josh xx
Josh you don't have to be like everyone else . All the smart UA-cam videos people do seem false to me. Your videos on forest experience making furniture etc , just being you is an amazing experience. So don't worry about all high tech stuff just be you . To be that is enough. Ula is fabulous so just video the plain everyday life good and bad . Just video the real life. I love it all really I do. So keep it up. Sending love and don't doubt yourselves
Love from Ireland
Hey Josh, as far as I can see you're doing great with the vlogging mate. The summer camp looked awesome. If you have dreams (I'm sure we all do) and get the chance to follow them then, you must and you must follow them the way you want to and not for anyone else as these are your dreams. I love both yourself and Ula, you're both great together and as individuals.. I love the good vibes that come off you both and glad the camera picks them up and shows the world what good people you are. stay safe and happy cruising guys.
Ohhhhh thank you so much for this !!! It means a lot to read such kind and thoughtful words on here. He had the best time… being outdoors is his favourite place!
Wonderful place in the woods! You are doing a really good job, Josh. :)
Thank you so much lovely xx
What an amazing experience Josh 😊. Living off grid like that looks perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of life (and social media) well done you! 😊 Here on our little highland island, we've had no mobile signal for over a month, due to an outage, and very little wifi too. Once you get over the shock, it's fine 😊. Keep safe and well both xx
Niiiceee, Catherine, that sounds marvelous, 👌 really intrigued about your life now too haha 😄 thankyou for sharing that, and of course thanks very much for your kind words, really appreciate them! Lots of love to you guys up there on your Highlands island! Xxx
Hello Josh. You look more like a Viking the an English gentleman! 😆Bravo, good work. Have a beautiful, good, nice, super, funny day in the UK. Bye. Rudi.
Yeahhhh thanks Rudi xx

Lots of love to you brother xx
Great video Josh. Looking younger now you've trimmed up the beard. Nice to see Ula albeit her time flashed by. Camp is looking good,nice and tidy. Glad you enjoyed the barbecue. I hope you didn't pick up too many ticks walking through the bracken.
Loved the tree house. Beautiful sunset. Take care.
Aww Yvonne, so glad you enjoyed. Thankyou for letting me know the bits you liked too, lovely to read! Ula will be back as usual now, all about the boats again :) 😀 xxx
I can't add to the amazing comments already left on this vlog. You carry on doing you. You're doing well xx
Thanks lovely that’s very kind xx
Thanks for sharing this with us Josh! My partner and I live in London but have just had an offer accepted on an off-grid barge (just waiting on the survey so all fingers crossed!!). Speaking of Ula metal detecting! I'm one of the Mudlarks down by the Thames foreshore scurrying looking for treasures in the mud! I've had to find ways of connecting with nature whilst living in the city but it also sparked an interest in history for me. Watching you guys has been one of the ways I've been prepping myself and sharing excitement for this upcoming adventure - thanks as always guys & well done Josh on a wicked mini-series 🐍
Oh my goodness Mikaela I (Ula) would love to go mudlarking with you one day 😊 perhaps we can meet up in London for a coffee and you can show me how it’s done!!! Great news on the barge by the way. Where is it? What size? Are you planning on cruising the network or staying in london? xx
Ula! I'm so glad I just popped back, UA-cam hasn't been notifying responses! Yes of course! I was shocked at how obsessed I quickly became! From city slicker to spiritual mud slinger 🤣I have some things on my mudlarking wish-list yet to find! The barge is just shy of 70ft, moored in Essex as we speak - hoping to remain there whilst we refurb (big-ish job) as its as close to off-grid as I've ever seen this close to London - frollicking in all the nature omgggg COMMON!! We should know more by Wednesday (playing it very cool right now haha). I'll come back to you when I know more! xx @@UlaandJosh
@@recoverywithme can’t wait to hear more lovely!!! Are you on Instagram?? I often miss notifications on UA-cam also, let’s connect over there! Send me a message over on @ulablocksage (that’s my name over there) Xx
Hey Josh you did great at the vlogging thing and yeah everyone needs to de-stress and think of their own mental health...I'm glad you had a great time and you've ticked something off your bucket list...thank you for sharing (oh and I take it grass snakes are non venomous ?)...see you in your next video 🇦🇺🦘
👍👍👍👌👌👌
Thanks buddy
It looks great there. Would love to have seen what you did with the big mushroom!
I forgot you have moved to Saturdays, so I was surprised when I received the notification lol. Enjoyed watching your outdoor living, and you are doing very well at vlogging! Xx
Hiya Dawn, yeaaahh only for December as Sundays fall on busy days this December so hoping moving to Saturdays will help with viewers too. But we'll probably go back to Sundays if most prefer Sundays, in the new year. Glad you enjoyed the woods Dawn, back to boating now with lots of Ula in, which is always nice hey!
All the best lovely xxx
You have done brilliant josh really enjoyed watching you in the woods
Yeahhhhh thanks so much !! That means a lot x
Cheers lovely glad you enjoyed it. Means alot!
All the best,
Love Ula and Josh x
Excited about washing...? Excited about Washing...? Oh no, how low can you go...! 😆 Well done on your first Vlog Josh... Loved the insight... 😀
Hahaha sounds like I was loosing my mind hey, excited about washing all the time. Brilliant!! Thanks for the kind words buddy, much appreciated
All the best, Ula and Josh xx
Wish i could live like this
You are as home in those woods as a pixie 😊
✨🧚♀️🪵🏕️🔥
❤❤❤
Really great video, you looked so at home there , 👍
Thanks Richard! It was a lovely place to spend some months ✨
Josh, you mentioned loving to cook outside. Have you ever cooked over a rocket stove or jet stove built of natural items, i.e. rocks, stone and clay? I see that you tied down to a tree in a spot or two. I had to do that when my tent was hit by a massive windy thunderstorm. I also had to borrow a couple of picnic tables from some empty camping sites nearby to also ground my tent. Mind you my folks, daughter, nephew and niece were sleeping in the tent with me when the storm hit. I'd come gone camping with my daughter and done the tent set up. Then my folks drove up with the other kiddies to the campsite just to spend a day. They hadn't planned on staying but the storm came out of nowhere so quickly, they hunkered down to wait it out. Unfortunately they hadn't brought any extra clothes so I had to run around by myself trying to keep the tent from crashing down or lifting off. I was one soaked chicken when I finally managed to get the stakes reset, or tied to heavy or immovable objects.
And yes, I enjoyed how you shared your experience. The videos were warm, thoughtful, interesting and visually beautiful. Heartfelt is the best word I can come up with for your endeavor.
Hahaha Dulci lass, so sorry for laughing. But I thoroughly enjoyed reading that experience you had, that's a fun story and memory. (Now it's over!) Brilliant, thanks for sharing.
I've not made my own actually! Not the way you've described, sounds very fulfilling getting it all right!
Thansk again for the story, and of course, your kind words! 🙏❤️
Looks fun. Unfortunately I feel the cold ( I have cold urticaria). So I have to be really careful. I would love to do wild swimming. Only ever managed it twice in France in a river. I love grounding when I get chance - very healing.
Oh yeah it was released Saturday not Sunday... 😂 Thanks UA-cam for letting me know ... Haha.
You do such a great job solo Josh! You have true comfort in front of the camera.
It did make me nervous when you were moving towards the toilet.. all I kept thinking was "please don't get too close buddy" 😂
I love the analogy between your tent and the boat being tied to stop floating away 😊
Much love guys ❤❤
Hahaha, you know, when I was watching it back in its entirety, I did wonder if anyone was thinking this! Brilliant haha 😄
Thanks for the lovely words by the way, really appreciate that!
All the best buddy!
Ula and Josh xx
Blessings!
✨❤️✨
Thanks so much as always Coit 🙏 we appreciate you ❤️ Ula and Josh xx
all the best young man . Happy Trails
Thanks Mike ✌️
Thanks very much Mike, means alot. Much appreciated.
All the best,
Ula and Josh
Next will we be seeing soil and a tent set on top of your boat home? Maybe even a fire pit added? Enjoyed the video and looking forward to your next one!
Haha that would be a sight to see!! May take you up on this glorious idea Perry!
Back to boating vlogs from now on buddy. Hope you're doing well. Nice as always to chat briefly again.
Love Ula and Josh xx
Hello beautiful people omg have u made tea with it I had a read about the polypore just as u were talking about it I paused u and read about it and thought has he boiled it in water and made a cuppa u done well with this video wow I love how u made it home nice to see ulla too lovely grass snakes did u find herbs growing there so many in the wild xxx❤
I did actually! It's nicer with some honey in. On its own is a bit naff. They're easy to identify as they only grow on silver birch. How cool! Xxx
Josh you remind me so much of a mate o mine he's ex army in the paras he also goes bush he has a special spot top end of the Hawkesbury River enjoyed your camp looks great anyway see ya cheers n beers Marty Australia by the way e did his bit East Timor and Afghanistan
That's very interesting! Hmm yea, I've been to Afghan twice.. fair play, armed conflicts are a challenging one to say the least.
Great to hear from you lovely, all the best over there in Aus, lots of love from us,
Ula and Josh xx
Great video! What tent is this? Do you know where I could find one?
Absolutely enjoy y’all’s videos. One thing around here you wouldn’t be going barefoot. Scorpions, rattlesnakes, copperheads. It’s best to wear boots . Lol !
You are so right!!! I grew up in aus and I would have rarely walked barefoot in the rainforest growing up!
Have you found any Truffles yet
Noooo! Would LOVE to!! Any tips??
Hi! I'm recently homeless rough sleeping in a tent. Do you have any tips for me. I'm a young female. Not sure how to cook whete to bathe been using baby wipes and dry shampoo
Maybe I missed it, but I don't think you've explained why you're actually out there? I vaguely remember that you said you were doing some sort of work on the land. Was your job to build some permanent camp sites?
Hiya buddy, sorry I must not have explained in part II… did you see last weeks video? I explain it all in that one. I was working on a campsite as a warden 😊
Hey, sorry about that. In the first episode I mentioned at the start I was employed as a warden at the campsite, so just general running of the place, bookings, cleaning, maintenance etc :)
@@UlaandJosh Well, my apologies. I did watch E1. I suppose I missed that part or glazed over it. Thank you for taking the time to restate here.
:)
😊😊😊
Your beard lost its trim in the middle of the video and then miraculous reappears trimmed???? Funny how that editing thing works, ha!!
You have a very sharp eye Judy 🧐 xx
LOL! 😂
🏕️✨🏕️
Not for me I’ll join you back at the boat
That's more than fair enough Karen, glad you'll be joining us for the boating. That'll definitly be back to normal again next Saturday. All the best, lovely
Ula and Josh xxx
Always enjoy your videos Josh, but please, a little less of the fruity language, children also watch your videos.
I don't really understand the reasoning for this vlog 🤔
Hey buddy, it was a random turn, but we started making UA-cam videos, and when I wasn't on the boat and ula was working alot, there wasn't any boat vlogging going on so we filmed what we were up to anyway, and mainly for our memories. Now we are back to normal boat life stuff from here on out. Cheers
@@UlaandJosh thanks for the explanation 👍I was a bit confused 🤔
Keep up the terrific work 👏😘
you need to separated narrowboat and Living Off-Grid .... start another channel... for me now I go out of this channel ! to bad,, I love narrowboat but not this shit.
The channel is called Ula and Josh, not boats r us. It was only two episodes anyway, uploaded for my own memories, not to perform to you. Plenty of others out there, enjoy
Then go and watch narrow boat videos , UA-cam has plenty to choose from.
Boats r us 🤭
How rude! I don't understand why people find it necessary to make disparaging remarks. If you don't like something then move on. I loved this Josh, glad you got to accomplish one of your dreams, see you back at the canal.❤
It wasn't what I was expecting to see but shows a part of Great Britain that I never knew existed...all the ferns, etc. Very interesting I must say!
