    While out in my work van I saw you and I hit my brakes so I could say hello and shake your hand and thank you for your awareness of mental health issues but I just couldn't stop quick enough, a rite bugger - keep up with the brilliant vids and getting us fellas to talk about our issues - thank you

    When I saw the tent, I first thought that it was Polish or even Soviet production. I had to use such tents made of canvas they are very heavy. I heard that in the UK it is difficult to find a place for such things, since the population density is large and all the lands belong to someone. It is sad that now the international situation is tense and there are serious difficulties in moving citizens from the European Union , UK to Russia and vice versa. Here in Russia, even near Moscow, you can find very wild places. There you can build anything and most likely no one will ever destroy your buildings. I don’t know if it is possible near London, for example. There is paradise for Bushcraft. I even saw a small house built in the city of Moscow in the park. It is very bad what is happening now, because there could be such a type of tourism. Very interesting and unusual. Most often, foreigners visited Moscow in Russia, Petersburg, possibly Baikal, Trans -Siberian Railway. But very rarely they went to the forests to wild places. I had to see such twice. Once a German, and another time an Indonesian. The language barrier prevents. Few people know English here. And now, due to the war, for many years, this will, in principle, be impossible. very sad.

    It's all about living in a 4 season tent that can be put up and taken down in minutes. If you get moved on no big deal. If you can live off small game you are laughing. Living like that comes with it's challenges but the freedom that comes with it is so worth it. I've been living in a tent 2 years now. I was done working 50 plus hours just to scrape by paying rent and bills and I'd finally had enough of dancing to the hierarchy tune here in the uk. Stay safe everyone and never give up your freedom ❤

    Awesome video per usual. Shame about your camp being taken down. As a part time park ranger-security guard I have been on both sides of this issue. I always try to get the “ cutting crew” to tidy up their handy work. At least it shows some respect 🫡 to the wood lands and the people who used it to create their version of paradise. The way I look at it as an adult version of hide and seek, as a sniper you might appreciate that approach. Been away for a couple of months, trying to deal with PTSD.
