    Paul and Jo I know your the PROFESSORS when it comes to wild camping and I’m abducted to your channel lol
    I’ve had VW CAMPER VANS for about 20 years can I just give you a little tip you need a wind breaker around that cooker there crap in the wind and also as the bottle get 3/4 empty it takes 15 minutes to boil a kettle lol also the windbreak will stop the grey curtains being splattered with fat out the frying pan 🍳
    Lovely job on the camper though credit to you both. You can’t beat a self made camper it’s so personal (bespoke) only you 2 know what you need and where to put things.
    Until a silly bloke tell you a windbreak would be good lol it’s up to you 2 though x

I still camp on the odd occasion to keep her happy lol 🤪🤪 but in my head I dream of big fire comfy sofa and a rum in hand 🤣🤣. I salute you jo ! We are wild camping Widows!!🤣🤣

    That was a nice video Paul. I like your camping van that is a nice set up. That was funny how your wife took your pair of socks. That is one thing I don't have to worry about because I have very very extremely wide feet. my foot is 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe with very fat wide toe that are equally straight across. My foot outgrew shoes , socks , & boots 35 years ago so I don't own a pair of socks. I like your dog I take it's a black lab? Look like a very nice calm dog. I watch your livestream that you just did and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your videos you have been making I have really enjoyed watching them.
