Absolutely loved that you spoke about the stupid comments. You’re a cracking bloke mate and an inspiration to so many of us. Feel bad that it’s got to you a bit. Good that you’ve got Jo 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Can't agree more, just watched the vid and came here to comment, but of course others had beat me to it. Good on ya Paul, chin up mate, you inspire more folks to get out there and enjoy some green space, you've done loads of good by what you inspire.
Sad little people with sad little live don't get upset by them feel sorry for them obviously jealous of what you've got and they wished they had take care mate and keep up the vlogs
Paul Messner... All you do is share your adventures, your wise counsel, your experience, and the beauty of nature in a very approachable and earnest way. What kind of a wretched human being could dare criticize you? The hurt you feel shows you have a heart! Blessings be upon you, from the USA.
Paul - I've always respected your honesty regarding how you struggled over lockdown (as so did I) and people love your videos as you're honest, have integrity and inspire people to go wild camping. For every moron who criticises, there's going to be 100 people who love your videos. Plus, it says more about them than it does about you - Big love from me, the Husband and the cat (who still loves your videos :-))
Paul, I have no interest in camping myself and I’m not even sure how I stumbled across your videos in the first place but Iv watched nearly all off them And thoroughly enjoy your videos. Your a top bloke who’s doing what he enjoys and bringing joy to others including me. Keep up the great videos
Ha! This is so funny, the same happened to me. Not really into camping and no intention of getting into it but I’ve watched most of Paul’s videos. There is something about a man out enjoying the thing he’s passionate about that is very compelling. Keep it up Paul 👍🏻
Never let the bullies and keyboard warriors get you down Paul you're a top bloke! Personally for me since finding your channel in 2019 you've inspired me to get into wild camping as I am a fan of "normal camping." I plan to start in the new year and I always come to your videos for helpful information and guides. Watching your content throughout lockdown has been uplifting so thank you for that. Hopefully once I've gotten a few camps under my belt I may bump into you somewhere and we can have a beer together. Keep up what you're doing mate!
I don’t usually take the time to comment on UA-cam videos but felt compelled to at last. I discovered your content during lockdown and have found your videos heartwarming. There’s a decent chance that I may even get out for some wild camping, your stuff having been so inspirational. Thank you for your honesty and openness, and for allowing us to join you on your trips; it’s always been very clear that your journeys mean much more to you than just taking in the scenery and drinking Brew Dog on top of a mountain, and I feel privileged to be able join you. Keep up the bloody good work, that man.
It shows real strength of character that you can call out the idiot bullies and also that you can rise above it and move on. Don't ever stop doing what you do.

As a 17 year old british lad I never expected myself to stumble across your channel but 6 months later here I am, thank you for the lessons and the memories, your videos are utterly fantastic
I’ve just turned 60 and you’ve inspired me to take up wild camping. Find your videos relaxing and very informative. So we’ll done you, full respect Paul and stay positive.
Dear Mr. Messner, sorry that some people are writing bad comments. I love your videos, I am still in the planning and dreaming phase and hope that after my birthday I will have my gear together to actually go! Keep having fun out there!
Listen Paul I was in hospital with heart issues before Chrismas and spent a few months recovering . Your videos got me outdoors even if it was just in my head. Also love the van conversion too as I used to be a builder.. You are doing a great job and making great content mate...
Really good to talk about this, Paul. Lots of people just say "oh they're jealous, don't bother with them" but life is not like that. We are humans and things do affect us. Thanks for bringing this up!
This end-to-end vid was a fine idea, and something I've not seen anyone do before. Very helpful. Sorry to hear about some sad sacks making twatty comments. It's inexcusable anyway, but completely undeserved on your part. Nothing but helpful and motivational stuff in your films. Keep on keeping on, disregard the idiots, and remember why 115K people subscribe to your channel. All the best, fella.
For someone who's looking to get into camping this video is a life saver, as are Paul's other vids on his gear etc. Top stuff. Shame not everyone can appreciate it but there will always be arseholes out there
Paul, you inspire so many people please don't let some small minded cretins upset you. Really felt for you when telling us about the insults you have to put up with, these idiots don't know what goes into the overall planning and can't see beyond their nose end!! It's so easy to critizie, my dear mum used to say 'If you haven't anything nice to say, say nothing at all' it is so true. Really looking forward to your next adventure
I am a stay at home mom of 6 that loves the outdoors. I’m in the US and would love to travel but can’t so I live through all the UA-cam camper/hikers that I watch. Don’t let the few ruin it for the masses. We love you and Jo. You put your heart and soul into your videos and we appreciate it. Keep your head up and hike on!!
Paul, you are a fantastic UA-camr. It’s just my opinion that you are not just an average bloke, but highly knowledgable and have great expertise with equipment and planning for these trips. I’m 36, have wild camped loads in the last 16 years, but have learned so much from you. Your number of 115k subscribers speaks for itself. How many does Skidmark74 have?!?? 😂 Your humour is amazing and we appreciate you taking us on these trips with you.
Just saw this video. Just like to say Paul, don’t let the haters get you down. You are a fantastic fella. Your videos have been brilliant for people like me who are trying to get into wild camping and general hiking. Thanks to you i feel like I’ve got a new lease of life after I suffered mentally really bad in the first lockdown. Thanks for the sharing your adventures and your reviews. Look forward to the next one. Thank you.
I’m really pleased you kept that in, not because it’ll keep the trolls away, I don’t think they really watch your videos but because hopefully you’ll see just how much you’re appreciated and loved. I’ve read every comment (over 400 at this point and I’ll read more I’m sure) and I’m bursting with pride! Thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to do so, they’ve echoed my comments too. I know just how much time, work, effort, money and passion goes into every video you make and I hate that just a few unjust keyboard warriors would make you doubt what you do. I know your true supporters appreciate that to make more videos of camps and views it means sponsorship, and company’s sending you the odd freebie to show. I’m sure the ⌨️🤌🏻 would say no to this given half a chance. I hope you get more, so much more that the dream becomes a reality. Keep shining and being brilliant. 😘 love your number 1 fan (along with Reggie and the kids obvs) xx
Don't let him forget how much he is appreciated! I've taken up Wild Camping with photography recently, and literally every bit of kit and research has been because of Paul and this channel, it's the Dog's Danglies. To have the courage to put yourself out here, on the "Socials" will always attract some negative attention, but this should be drowned in the absolute tidal wave of positivity. Just look at how many people have commented how Paul has helped them, that's through his hard work, something to be immensely proud of. Please keep up the good work.
Because of you Paul I started wild camping a couple of years ago and not only is it enjoyable it’s great for the mind. I am now taking my Dad wild camping for the first time in the next week. You have inspired many many people including myself. I watch every one of your videos and love them and get so much from them. Can’t wait to see some videos of you jo and reggie on a camper adventure. If you need a break we would understand but we would all miss you.
So to hear you've had a troll or two Paul. I honestly don't know how anyone can criticise anything you do. Your video's are an inspiration, they're educational and informative, but most of all fun & entertaining to watch. You and Jo a lovely people, who love and respect the British countryside. I do hope you'll continue your UA-cam channel and I wish you every success. For someone like me, who's pretty much housebound (4 years now), just watching your videos gives me a sense of happier times camping many years ago. I dream of just one more night away in a tent, you're so lucky, never forget that. Sorry for the long rant. Best wishes from Durham

Don't you even think about quitting UA-cam because of some frustrated haters! You are a great inspiration for many of us. Just delete rude comments and block nasty people. And if you ever think about coming to Hungary, I'll be more than delighted to take you for a beautiful overnight adventure.
I think your camping videos are great and very informative. I wasn’t expecting your words wisdom about online bullying but you are spot on. Don’t let negativity keep you from doing what’s you love. 👍👍
Mate. What your doing is really helping people to find something that has meaning, something away from all the distractions and negativity and preasure of daily life. Honestly your putting out nothing but positivity 👍 I'm from sheffield too and I think your channel is great!
Don't let the buggers get you down Paul! I have no doubt your videos have encouraged many people to get out into the countryside and improve their own mental health.
Your videos have helped me through a really difficult year, and encouraged me to get out doing some wild camping. It would seem you have helped a lot of people in the same way. Empty vessels make the most noise, ignore them and keep doing what you do.
I don't know what has been said to you Paul, but please know that you inspire so many people. I have been a big fan of your work for so long now and my husband LOVED all your campervan videos. Don't let the thick headed little maggots get you down, you're awesome!!!
Thank you for this! Just remember there is a lot of people on here that appreciate what you do! Focus on the love mate because there is much more of that!
Hi Paul watched your vlog tonight and I've been following you for sometime now. I've never commented before on anyone's channel but was touched by your issues surrounding negative comments. Keep going mate and don't let the few drag you down. Your channel is excellent and you come across a very kind hearted and sincere bloke. Loving your vlogs with you all the way Paul
Dear Paul. I do hope that you let this comment 'get under your skin' - I have watched your vids (all of them) and I think they are great. A really good source of info on kit, funny, wonderful scenery and outings. I've enjoyed all the vids including you and Jo building the van. I recommend your channel to everyone I know who may be interested in camping. Thank you for all your help and input. Keep them coming. You are appreciated.
You’ve got 115k subscribers, which speaks to the quality of your content! You’re up there with the most respected half dozen in the genre. There are arseholes in all walks of life and there always will be. Just block them and move on and keep up the great work!✊
Don’t stop Paul. You hit the nail on the head, these jokers are experts from a keyboard, who normally try to make others miserable to compensate for their own shortfalls. You’ve brought joy to hundreds of thousands of people that share a passion for the outdoors. If it doesn’t matter in five years time then don’t sweat it - I know, easier said than done but it’s true. Thank you and keep up the good work, we are with you all the way.
Paul, my wife and I appreciate your time and effort to produce these videos. We live in Indiana, USA and will not likely ever see your camping environment. Thank you!
You've been my outdoor/camping outlet for a while now, I just cannot get out like I used to, and I feel like I am when I watch your videos. I hope you know how much good you do for people. Great video as always.
I'll add my support to you Paul. Your videos have inspired me to look again at wild camping. I've dug out my old Terra Nova Photon, buying a few missing bits of kit and I'll be out later this month thanks to you and your great videos. Keep up the good work it is much appreciated.
Hi Paul Don’t let complete numptys get to you . Your channel is awesome and has inspired me and 100s of other people to get onto camping . The idiots are just jealous and seek attention because nobody likes them . Keep strong and keep doing what your doing we all appreciate it . Atb Graham
The planning aspect of wild camping is something rarely tackled in videos, so great to see your approach Paul. Can't believe you got the 'Woolpacks' to yourself - it's always like Blackpool pleasure beach when I've been there.....total respect to you Paul for all the effort and imagination you put into your channel and hopefully will continue to do for a long time to come.
I would to say thank you for Introducing me to your wild country tents. I order one day beforehand yesterday. But I have a problem here in America. CLICK BAIT videos telling people things can get a person killed in the wild trying to imitate fake bush crafters. I wish…I am requesting that community reach out and try to correct the situations theses idiots are doing but I really enjoy your videos. Just wish I could be there in your country and camp a bit. Your a real inspiration to backpackers every where. Semper Fi. A concerned American
Paul, you're a legend! You're one of my top favourite youtubers. Been with you before covid and was inspired by your hikes back then and your channel growing with Joe and the van and the new pup. Man keep it up, we are your subscribers and we love you.
Love all the videos Paul, always so inspiring, you've got such an easy going nature about you which makes the videos calming and great content keep up the good work always
F the A holes!! You are one of my favorite you tubers!! Your videos are informative and entertaining. I’m always looking forward to your next one! Keep up the good work!!
I love you're content. It's practical, inspiring, light hearted and real! Keep it up. I started wild camping this year because of you. You made a positive difference to my life and...it doesn't get better than that!
Another great video Paul. Ignore the bad comments mate, unfortunately those people will always be around, but rest assured they are far outweighed by those who love what you are doing and the video's you share. You have got me into wild camping and I love watching your content so keep up the good work.
Great content as usual Paul!! Balls to all the haters, we’ll still be here watching your content. Thank you for letting us join you on this adventure 👍👍
Hi Paul, I'm a bike packer and wild camper, and I really appreciate your videos for helpful hints and tips. Keep doing what you're doing pal and just concentrate on the thumbs ups. Easier said than done I know, but just just ignore the haters and the absolute troll-whoppers that like to spread their hatred.
Cheers Paul, my wife and myself were just talking about a wild camp trip to Kinder scout in a few weeks when I’m back in Yorkshire for a week. Great advice. Managed to convince her to get a Katadyn too. Try to ignore the plebs mate, they’re a stain on social media.
Well said on the trolls. Like the vids or not. No need for negativity or nasty comments. It's the downfall of the Internet. You keep doing what you love. Very many like your content, and you. As proved by your following. Keep it up
Hey Paul, just something i noticed, when blowing up the sleeping pad, it is easier if you leave some distance to the blow bag. Therefore when you blow it will create a sort of air tunnel and not only your breath but more air will be pressed into the bag. Sry if not everything is spelled correct. Greetings from Berlin, love your videos and the nature!
Sorry to hear about the stupid comment. I can't even believe someone would have anything negative to say to you, I love your videos and you're my number one favourite youtuber. I always tell my little girls that negative comments doesn't say anything about them, but everything about the one it comes from. I think you need to hear that too. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Finland 😊
Please don't give up or stop making videos. I went to the Lake District with my partner because of your wildcamp at ulleswater and I did a time lapse and footage of a peaceful spot by the road. And I bought the cloud peak 2 . All because of your style of videos and honesty. Also it inspires to make better videos . Hence buying a insta selfie stick and eventually getting the 3 metre one for drone like shots. These negative comments come.from people who really don't go out there and do these things. God bless you Paul . You deserve better and there are others who feel the same. Jealousy is a toxic thing that drives these negative people. Take care buddy and thanx for the inspiration as always. KARL XXXXXX
I do hope that all of the positive comments from everyone are making you feel better Paul. I love your videos and when I see a new one pop up I cant wait to check it out. You are an inspiration to many people. Keep up the great work and thank you for all you do to entertain us and get us close to nature when we cant get out. Sending good vibes.
Me and my partner love your videos, keep up the good work and content 👍 ignore what all the keyboard (pancake flippers) say, your videos gave us all the escape we needed through this whole pandemic and helped so many people to cope!
Hi Paul, as always a cracking camp. You and a handful of other UA-camrs are the main reason I got off my backside and started wild camping. I will be eternally grateful to you for your positivity and great advice. Sadly there will always be a small minority of gutless lowlife hiding behind their sticky keyboards with nothing better to do. You’re an inspiration and a trooper, keep doing what you’re doing and thank you. Atb.
Paul…. Your videos are brilliant. I love every bit of them, from the walk in, to the cooking, to the morning views. They are just awesome. The amount of joy and escape you’ve given all of your fans during this time is unquantifiable. Thank you mate from the bottom of my heart, you’ve taken me to to hills and made being lockdown all the more bearable. It’s escapism and therapy all at once. I love every minute of it. Cheers ✌️
Pleasures to watch your videos Paul. U re great and inspire people all over the world. Keep doing it and ignore the ones that moan about stupid things. Bless you mate!
First i was wondering why he would pour so much oil in his jetboil but then i remembered that his water had this colour. Gives the bolognese more colour and flavour.
Dont let these arm chair weasels get you down they are jealous. Love your channel i started to follow your channel when the lockdown began. Found it very inspirational. All the best Will.
Great video chap, never give up the tube PM, watching your videos are a breath of fresh air... I can honestly say you 100% viewing time from me. Dont let the buggers grind you down Paul. Look at how far you've come chap, don't let some pipe stain ruin it for you. Love you man x
Hey man, please don't let these trolls get to you, you seem like a great guy. You've inspired me to get out camping more and I often find myself watching your videos just to chill out because they're so peaceful. Keep the videos coming dude, but look after yourself and remember it's always sound to take a break when you need it x
Don't let the snivelling trolls get to you, they are less than important trying to bring people down because it make them feel better about their pathetic life. I think you are an amazing bloke doing great things. I love your vids and have picked up some great tips from you.
I love that you spoke out about the cyber bullies Paul. It’s not enough to say just ignore them. The thing is that they’re cowards really and they must have terrible head homes to live in. Imagine living there in all that dysfunctional mess. If one were feeling kind towards them you’d feel sorry for them...but no need for that!! 😂 You keep doing what you’re doing. There are many more lovely people than horrible people. I love your videos. You’ve helped me get out there much more than I would’ve done otherwise. You’re a fantastic ambassador for getting out in nature and helping with well being.
Hey Paul, I've been watching your videos for a while now, you've helped me through a difficult time. Your personality and even the tone of your voice has been wonderful to watch. I rarely comment on videos, but that's just it isn't it? The quiet ones who just watch, enjoy and are thankful for the effort you put into your content aren't the ones who are going to say much. That, and the fact that I normally watch UA-cam on my tv, and really I had to pull out my laptop just to go to the effort of writing this. However I felt compelled to tell you, we are out here, quietly watching, happy to see you on your adventures, keep up the good work, and always know that we will out number the twats who write crap.
I don’t believe it! I thought it was you! I was the lad who spoke to you about a decent wild camp spot, you suggested a group of rocks just behind. Great vid!
Great video once more Paul and you are the person on UA-cam that has inspired me to start wild camping and my UA-cam channel. My mental health has vastly improved and I believe in Karma for those online bully's. Keep going with the great content buddy.
Excellent contend as always 👌 love watching your videos, you seem like a very nice and quiet chap, respectful and kind. Don't let trolls bother you, they are just troubled ppl with trust and attention issues. If you have any doubt, just look at your likes and dislikes...that proves ur on the right track 😀 keep up the good work 💪cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
Great video Paul, one of your best showing the whole pre-camp planning bit too. Well said about the internet bullies hiding behind an avatar and a keyboard in their underpants...I didn't know a keyboard in the underpants was a thing! 🙂
Absolutely superb video as always Mr Messner, your content is top draw 👌🏻 Dont watch those 'keyboard warriors' mate, most of them havent got half a brain cell anyway. Take care and keep up the fantastic work, but more importantly keep enjoying the great outdoors 👍🏻😊⛰🏕 ATB... Chris
Great Video again Paul. Big fan here from Australia, and the reason I say that is so that when Skidmark74 hangs shit on you, just remember you have big fans around the world.
Marcus Aurelius said 'Receive without pride, let go without attachment' or 'Do not take the slights of the day personally, or the exciting rewards and recognitions either' Cato was given control of the military fleet of the Roman Republic, during the civil war between Pompey and Caesar, but then a few days later due to protests within his inner circle, Pompey reversed the decision. It was an enormous public humiliation for Cato, but his reaction was basically nothing. He responded to the honour and dishonour the same way; with indifference and acceptance.
Scary Paul I don't know what these lives the hater's have but good on you for calling them out...love your vids man they are making me wanna get out there!
Absolutely loved that you spoke about the stupid comments. You’re a cracking bloke mate and an inspiration to so many of us. Feel bad that it’s got to you a bit. Good that you’ve got Jo 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Haters are the kind who hate everything, including life. They need a hug.
Can't agree more, just watched the vid and came here to comment, but of course others had beat me to it. Good on ya Paul, chin up mate, you inspire more folks to get out there and enjoy some green space, you've done loads of good by what you inspire.
Sad little people with sad little live don't get upset by them feel sorry for them obviously jealous of what you've got and they wished they had take care mate and keep up the vlogs
Paul Messner... All you do is share your adventures, your wise counsel, your experience, and the beauty of nature in a very approachable and earnest way. What kind of a wretched human being could dare criticize you? The hurt you feel shows you have a heart! Blessings be upon you, from the USA.
Love your videos Paul. Bollocks to the haters mate.

Agree entirely with the both of you. Not a wild camper myself, just really enjoy the video’s.He’s a top bloke.
Never let the bullies and keyboard warriors get you down Paul you're a top bloke!

I plan to start in the new year and I always come to your videos for helpful information and guides. Watching your content throughout lockdown has been uplifting so thank you for that.

He inspired me in April and I haven’t looked back. You’ll love it Brian.
Dear Mr. Messner, sorry that some people are writing bad comments. I love your videos, I am still in the planning and dreaming phase and hope that after my birthday I will have my gear together to actually go! Keep having fun out there!
Listen Paul I was in hospital with heart issues before Chrismas and spent a few months recovering . Your videos got me outdoors even if it was just in my head. Also love the van conversion too as I used to be a builder.. You are doing a great job and making great content mate...
same here mate. heart trouble myself got into wild camping and never looked back .
Glad your doing OK mate 👍
One the best channels on UA-cam..
Paul.....
Really good to talk about this, Paul. Lots of people just say "oh they're jealous, don't bother with them" but life is not like that. We are humans and things do affect us. Thanks for bringing this up!
Always enjoy your videos. Never understand why people have to put others down. On a positive note they are still watching your videos.
This end-to-end vid was a fine idea, and something I've not seen anyone do before. Very helpful. Sorry to hear about some sad sacks making twatty comments. It's inexcusable anyway, but completely undeserved on your part. Nothing but helpful and motivational stuff in your films.

It's so easy to critizie, my dear mum used to say 'If you haven't anything nice to say, say nothing at all' it is so true. Really looking forward to your next adventure
Just remember for every numpty moaning or being a nob, there's 100 more that love your content.
I am a stay at home mom of 6 that loves the outdoors. I’m in the US and would love to travel but can’t so I live through all the UA-cam camper/hikers that I watch. Don’t let the few ruin it for the masses. We love you and Jo. You put your heart and soul into your videos and we appreciate it. Keep your head up and hike on!!
Paul, you are a fantastic UA-camr.
It’s just my opinion that you are not just an average bloke, but highly knowledgable and have great expertise with equipment and planning for these trips.
I’m 36, have wild camped loads in the last 16 years, but have learned so much from you.
Your number of 115k subscribers speaks for itself. How many does Skidmark74 have?!?? 😂
Your humour is amazing and we appreciate you taking us on these trips with you.
ignore em all pal,just do what makes you happy and forget the rest!
Keep doing you Paul...you’re a top bloke. These people trying to bring you down, will always stay at the bottom. Keep moving mate 👍

I’ve read every comment (over 400 at this point and I’ll read more I’m sure) and I’m bursting with pride! Thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to do so, they’ve echoed my comments too.
I know just how much time, work, effort, money and passion goes into every video you make and I hate that just a few unjust keyboard warriors would make you doubt what you do. I know your true supporters appreciate that to make more videos of camps and views it means sponsorship, and company’s sending you the odd freebie to show. I’m sure the ⌨️🤌🏻 would say no to this given half a chance. I hope you get more, so much more that the dream becomes a reality. Keep shining and being brilliant. 😘 love your number 1 fan (along with Reggie and the kids obvs) xx
Don't let him forget how much he is appreciated! I've taken up Wild Camping with photography recently, and literally every bit of kit and research has been because of Paul and this channel, it's the Dog's Danglies. To have the courage to put yourself out here, on the "Socials" will always attract some negative attention, but this should be drowned in the absolute tidal wave of positivity. Just look at how many people have commented how Paul has helped them, that's through his hard work, something to be immensely proud of. Please keep up the good work.
Because of you Paul I started wild camping a couple of years ago and not only is it enjoyable it’s great for the mind. I am now taking my Dad wild camping for the first time in the next week. You have inspired many many people including myself. I watch every one of your videos and love them and get so much from them. Can’t wait to see some videos of you jo and reggie on a camper adventure. If you need a break we would understand but we would all miss you.
You are a really nice man. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Ignore the knob heads. Many thanks for your efforts.
So to hear you've had a troll or two Paul.
I honestly don't know how anyone can criticise anything you do.
Your video's are an inspiration, they're educational and informative, but most of all fun & entertaining to watch.
You and Jo a lovely people, who love and respect the British countryside.
I do hope you'll continue your UA-cam channel and I wish you every success.
For someone like me, who's pretty much housebound (4 years now), just watching your videos gives me a sense of happier times camping many years ago.
I dream of just one more night away in a tent, you're so lucky, never forget that.
Sorry for the long rant.
Best wishes from Durham
Don't you even think about quitting UA-cam because of some frustrated haters! You are a great inspiration for many of us. Just delete rude comments and block nasty people. And if you ever think about coming to Hungary, I'll be more than delighted to take you for a beautiful overnight adventure.
I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would have a problem with you, sharing your experience and wisdom of the outdoors with us as you do.
I think your camping videos are great and very informative. I wasn’t expecting your words wisdom about online bullying but you are spot on. Don’t let negativity keep you from doing what’s you love. 👍👍
Mate. What your doing is really helping people to find something that has meaning, something away from all the distractions and negativity and preasure of daily life. Honestly your putting out nothing but positivity 👍 I'm from sheffield too and I think your channel is great!
Don't let the buggers get you down Paul! I have no doubt your videos have encouraged many people to get out into the countryside and improve their own mental health.
Your videos have helped me through a really difficult year, and encouraged me to get out doing some wild camping. It would seem you have helped a lot of people in the same way. Empty vessels make the most noise, ignore them and keep doing what you do.
I don't know what has been said to you Paul, but please know that you inspire so many people. I have been a big fan of your work for so long now and my husband LOVED all your campervan videos. Don't let the thick headed little maggots get you down, you're awesome!!!
Thank you for this! Just remember there is a lot of people on here that appreciate what you do! Focus on the love mate because there is much more of that!
I have no idea who would be horrible to you Paul, you’re such a down to earth bloke. The majority of the people watching love your videos!
Hi Paul watched your vlog tonight and I've been following you for sometime now. I've never commented before on anyone's channel but was touched by your issues surrounding negative comments.
Keep going mate and don't let the few drag you down. Your channel is excellent and you come across a very kind hearted and sincere bloke. Loving your vlogs with you all the way Paul
Dear Paul. I do hope that you let this comment 'get under your skin' - I have watched your vids (all of them) and I think they are great. A really good source of info on kit, funny, wonderful scenery and outings. I've enjoyed all the vids including you and Jo building the van. I recommend your channel to everyone I know who may be interested in camping. Thank you for all your help and input. Keep them coming. You are appreciated.
You’ve got 115k subscribers, which speaks to the quality of your content! You’re up there with the most respected half dozen in the genre. There are arseholes in all walks of life and there always will be. Just block them and move on and keep up the great work!✊
Don’t stop Paul. You hit the nail on the head, these jokers are experts from a keyboard, who normally try to make others miserable to compensate for their own shortfalls. You’ve brought joy to hundreds of thousands of people that share a passion for the outdoors. If it doesn’t matter in five years time then don’t sweat it - I know, easier said than done but it’s true. Thank you and keep up the good work, we are with you all the way.
Paul, my wife and I appreciate your time and effort to produce these videos. We live in Indiana, USA and will not likely ever see your camping environment. Thank you!
Enjoy your vids paul,just don,t take any notice of the negative comments ,you have far more positive ones.
You've been my outdoor/camping outlet for a while now, I just cannot get out like I used to, and I feel like I am when I watch your videos. I hope you know how much good you do for people.
Great video as always.
Try not to let them get to you keep making the videos it’s what you love and we love watching them 👍👍🙏🙏
I'll add my support to you Paul. Your videos have inspired me to look again at wild camping. I've dug out my old Terra Nova Photon, buying a few missing bits of kit and I'll be out later this month thanks to you and your great videos. Keep up the good work it is much appreciated.
Hi Paul
Don’t let complete numptys get to you .
Your channel is awesome and has inspired me and 100s of other people to get onto camping .
The idiots are just jealous and seek attention because nobody likes them .
Keep strong and keep doing what your doing we all appreciate it .
Atb Graham
The planning aspect of wild camping is something rarely tackled in videos, so great to see your approach Paul. Can't believe you got the 'Woolpacks' to yourself - it's always like Blackpool pleasure beach when I've been there.....total respect to you Paul for all the effort and imagination you put into your channel and hopefully will continue to do for a long time to come.
I would to say thank you for Introducing me to your wild country tents. I order one day beforehand yesterday. But I have a problem here in America. CLICK BAIT videos telling people things can get a person killed in the wild trying to imitate fake bush crafters. I wish…I am requesting that community reach out and try to correct the situations theses idiots are doing but I really enjoy your videos. Just wish I could be there in your country and camp a bit. Your a real inspiration to backpackers every where. Semper Fi. A concerned American
Paul, you're a legend! You're one of my top favourite youtubers. Been with you before covid and was inspired by your hikes back then and your channel growing with Joe and the van and the new pup. Man keep it up, we are your subscribers and we love you.
I don't comment too often but always watch your videos, and really enjoy them. Keep up the good work fella. Try not to let others get under your skin.
Love all the videos Paul, always so inspiring, you've got such an easy going nature about you which makes the videos calming and great content keep up the good work always
F the A holes!! You are one of my favorite you tubers!! Your videos are informative and entertaining. I’m always looking forward to your next one! Keep up the good work!!
I love you're content. It's practical, inspiring, light hearted and real! Keep it up. I started wild camping this year because of you. You made a positive difference to my life and...it doesn't get better than that!
Another great video Paul. Ignore the bad comments mate, unfortunately those people will always be around, but rest assured they are far outweighed by those who love what you are doing and the video's you share. You have got me into wild camping and I love watching your content so keep up the good work.
Great content as usual Paul!! Balls to all the haters, we’ll still be here watching your content. Thank you for letting us join you on this adventure 👍👍
Hi Paul, I'm a bike packer and wild camper, and I really appreciate your videos for helpful hints and tips. Keep doing what you're doing pal and just concentrate on the thumbs ups. Easier said than done I know, but just just ignore the haters and the absolute troll-whoppers that like to spread their hatred.
I think your an ace youtuber just doing what you love. Ignore the delinquents online. Just see them as a bad smell. They move on eventually.
Spot on pal, your comment of them being a bad smell made me laugh.
Skidmark 74!!!🤣 Brilliant. 👍
Cheers Paul, my wife and myself were just talking about a wild camp trip to Kinder scout in a few weeks when I’m back in Yorkshire for a week. Great advice. Managed to convince her to get a Katadyn too. Try to ignore the plebs mate, they’re a stain on social media.
Well said on the trolls. Like the vids or not. No need for negativity or nasty comments. It's the downfall of the Internet. You keep doing what you love. Very many like your content, and you. As proved by your following. Keep it up
Your a good guy Paul. Don't let the troll's get to you. Just block them.
Keep going mate, what you do helps a lot of people. ♥️♥️
Hate won't win mate, you keep at it big man.
You keep doing what you do best. I for one appreciate the time it takes even if some idiots don't.
Love these videos so addictive. You watch one then another before you know it it’s 5am 😂
Hey Paul, just something i noticed, when blowing up the sleeping pad, it is easier if you leave some distance to the blow bag. Therefore when you blow it will create a sort of air tunnel and not only your breath but more air will be pressed into the bag.
Sry if not everything is spelled correct.
Greetings from Berlin, love your videos and the nature!
Sporting a trim look Pauly.. All that doggy walking is good for the body & actually more importantly the nut, keep on keeping on mucker ✌️
Sorry to hear about the stupid comment. I can't even believe someone would have anything negative to say to you, I love your videos and you're my number one favourite youtuber. I always tell my little girls that negative comments doesn't say anything about them, but everything about the one it comes from. I think you need to hear that too. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Finland 😊
Please don't give up or stop making videos. I went to the Lake District with my partner because of your wildcamp at ulleswater and I did a time lapse and footage of a peaceful spot by the road. And I bought the cloud peak 2 . All because of your style of videos and honesty. Also it inspires to make better videos . Hence buying a insta selfie stick and eventually getting the 3 metre one for drone like shots. These negative comments come.from people who really don't go out there and do these things. God bless you Paul . You deserve better and there are others who feel the same. Jealousy is a toxic thing that drives these negative people. Take care buddy and thanx for the inspiration as always. KARL XXXXXX
I do hope that all of the positive comments from everyone are making you feel better Paul. I love your videos and when I see a new one pop up I cant wait to check it out. You are an inspiration to many people. Keep up the great work and thank you for all you do to entertain us and get us close to nature when we cant get out. Sending good vibes.
Me and my partner love your videos, keep up the good work and content 👍 ignore what all the keyboard (pancake flippers) say, your videos gave us all the escape we needed through this whole pandemic and helped so many people to cope!
Don’t let them get you down. They aren’t worth it. I for one appreciate your vides.
Hi Paul, as always a cracking camp. You and a handful of other UA-camrs are the main reason I got off my backside and started wild camping. I will be eternally grateful to you for your positivity and great advice. Sadly there will always be a small minority of gutless lowlife hiding behind their sticky keyboards with nothing better to do. You’re an inspiration and a trooper, keep doing what you’re doing and thank you. Atb.
Paul…. Your videos are brilliant. I love every bit of them, from the walk in, to the cooking, to the morning views. They are just awesome. The amount of joy and escape you’ve given all of your fans during this time is unquantifiable. Thank you mate from the bottom of my heart, you’ve taken me to to hills and made being lockdown all the more bearable. It’s escapism and therapy all at once. I love every minute of it. Cheers ✌️
Pleasures to watch your videos Paul. U re great and inspire people all over the world. Keep doing it and ignore the ones that moan about stupid things. Bless you mate!
First i was wondering why he would pour so much oil in his jetboil but then i remembered that his water had this colour. Gives the bolognese more colour and flavour.
Dont let these arm chair weasels get you down they are jealous. Love your channel i started to follow
your channel when the lockdown began. Found it very inspirational. All the best Will.
Paul you’ve inspired so many people including myself. I can speak for many on here and say keep the contents coming 👍
Great video chap, never give up the tube PM, watching your videos are a breath of fresh air... I can honestly say you 100% viewing time from me.
Dont let the buggers grind you down Paul. Look at how far you've come chap, don't let some pipe stain ruin it for you.
Love you man x
Hey man, please don't let these trolls get to you, you seem like a great guy. You've inspired me to get out camping more and I often find myself watching your videos just to chill out because they're so peaceful. Keep the videos coming dude, but look after yourself and remember it's always sound to take a break when you need it x
top bloke with a great attitude. Really enjoyed this mate, subscribed!
Don't let the snivelling trolls get to you, they are less than important trying to bring people down because it make them feel better about their pathetic life. I think you are an amazing bloke doing great things. I love your vids and have picked up some great tips from you.
I love that you spoke out about the cyber bullies Paul. It’s not enough to say just ignore them. The thing is that they’re cowards really and they must have terrible head homes to live in. Imagine living there in all that dysfunctional mess. If one were feeling kind towards them you’d feel sorry for them...but no need for that!! 😂 You keep doing what you’re doing. There are many more lovely people than horrible people. I love your videos. You’ve helped me get out there much more than I would’ve done otherwise. You’re a fantastic ambassador for getting out in nature and helping with well being.
Hey Paul, I've been watching your videos for a while now, you've helped me through a difficult time. Your personality and even the tone of your voice has been wonderful to watch. I rarely comment on videos, but that's just it isn't it? The quiet ones who just watch, enjoy and are thankful for the effort you put into your content aren't the ones who are going to say much. That, and the fact that I normally watch UA-cam on my tv, and really I had to pull out my laptop just to go to the effort of writing this. However I felt compelled to tell you, we are out here, quietly watching, happy to see you on your adventures, keep up the good work, and always know that we will out number the twats who write crap.
Mate wen I am stuck in watching your videos help me to clear my head keep up the good work
I don’t believe it! I thought it was you! I was the lad who spoke to you about a decent wild camp spot, you suggested a group of rocks just behind. Great vid!
We love you Paul!! Ignore the haters!! Fan from across the pond, North Carolina
Brilliant video as always keep up the good work
Great video once more Paul and you are the person on UA-cam that has inspired me to start wild camping and my UA-cam channel. My mental health has vastly improved and I believe in Karma for those online bully's. Keep going with the great content buddy.
Don't let these people get you down, you're great
Excellent contend as always 👌 love watching your videos, you seem like a very nice and quiet chap, respectful and kind. Don't let trolls bother you, they are just troubled ppl with trust and attention issues. If you have any doubt, just look at your likes and dislikes...that proves ur on the right track 😀 keep up the good work 💪cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
Great video Paul, one of your best showing the whole pre-camp planning bit too. Well said about the internet bullies hiding behind an avatar and a keyboard in their underpants...I didn't know a keyboard in the underpants was a thing! 🙂
Got a good night Paul, away afore the bad weather.
Brilliant vid as always Paul, dont worry about the keyboard warriors, you do you!! Bang on mate, inspiration at its best….
Guy from Texas here. Always enjoy seeing camping in the UK. Beautiful county. Love your videos Paul!
Absolutely superb video as always Mr Messner, your content is top draw 👌🏻
Dont watch those 'keyboard warriors' mate, most of them havent got half a brain cell anyway.
Take care and keep up the fantastic work, but more importantly keep enjoying the great outdoors 👍🏻😊⛰🏕
ATB... Chris
Great Video again Paul. Big fan here from Australia, and the reason I say that is so that when Skidmark74 hangs shit on you, just remember you have big fans around the world.
Marcus Aurelius said 'Receive without pride, let go without attachment' or 'Do not take the slights of the day personally, or the exciting rewards and recognitions either'
Cato was given control of the military fleet of the Roman Republic, during the civil war between Pompey and Caesar, but then a few days later due to protests within his inner circle, Pompey reversed the decision. It was an enormous public humiliation for Cato, but his reaction was basically nothing. He responded to the honour and dishonour the same way; with indifference and acceptance.
Stoicism certainly is the way👍🏻
I can't get to the hills at the moment so I get my fix from your vids. Even your commentary has a relaxing quality 😀
Good info
Scary Paul I don't know what these lives the hater's have but good on you for calling them out...love your vids man they are making me wanna get out there!
