    It’s so lovely to see how Harvey has grown in confidence on camera and how he is able to share his love of trees and the great outdoors. A lovely family video x

    Thank you Athena, Harvey, Aífe and Oslo, thank you very much. There is so much beauty in this world, so many beautiful people and love. I needed this to remind my heart that there is always hope.💙💛

    Been saving this video for a “cheer up” moment. My fiancé has Covid and I’m recovering from surgery so it’s been the perfect balm. Aife is such a wee poppet and thank you for being so honest about the highs and lows and that she wasn’t “planned”. You and Harvey seem to have taken to parenthood like ducks to water. Natures timing is always perfect 💛

    Your videos are so stunning. I say this everytime now, but they truly are.
    You catch the light and nature so beautifully. I love how your edit is peaceful, hopeful, instructive and so motivating. Sharing your lifestyle has such a positive impact on how I (and I'm sure many other) can picture the future.
    I've been watching your channel for two years now, and I just bought a second-hand matress and tent so I can start bigger outdoor adventures this summer 😃
    Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful corner of the internet ♥️
    P.s : I also love that Harvey and you are both narrating the story and sharing parts in the video, it's lovely !
    Have a great weekend xx

    Just watching Harvey walking through the pines on the path leaves a peaceful feeling inside me. A picture perfect Kodak moment. So good to see you Athena, Harvey, Aife, & Oslo. Seeing the Lily of the Valley reminds me that Spring is just around the corner. Aife so wide eyed & growing longer each time she stretches those legs. I like your Bothy it's warm, cozy, invites you in just looking at it. I love seeing your scenery there. Its funny, but I also loved seeing Oslos ears flopping around in the wind. A warm family moment on the couch watching TV. Some days you just need to stop & have a break. Have a good week. Looking forward to your next video.

    Athena, having followed your earlier videos, which were excellent, you had Oslo as a great sidekick. Now Harvey is contributing so much and to add Aoife to the mix and the appeal is off the scale. Stay safe.

    Thank you for the beautiful video and the moment of calm and restoration that it brought! (Especially at the moment!) I'm currently living abroad and this helps bring a bit of home to me... I yearn for the cosiness of British weather and the beauty of the landscapes! Your videos are uniquely "real" - they never feel sugar coated or elaborated...they always celebrate the small beautiful things around us and in nature and show a real family, so thank you! Best wishes to you all x x

      Hi Suzie, We carry everything that we need with us, including a changing matt for Aífe to lie on and spare clothes incase there's a leak. we pack everything out with us too and have a dry bag for all the dirty stuff. Its harder in the bad weather, we carry an emergency 2 man shelter with us if we have to just hunker down in an exposed area and its raining for instance but so far we haven't got caught out and there's always been somewhere for us to shelter, be it a bothy, cave or little stone shelter. hope that helps.

    When its a windy day (every single weekend currently) how high do you go when walking?

    • @harvey123go4
      @harvey123go4 2 роки тому

      That depends on quite a few factors. We would generally stay off high exposed tops if the wind is above 20 mph. if we can hike up and be in the lee of the wind from a peak ie, wind coming from the north and you walk on the south side of a peak, then we could get pretty high but you would want to assess the situation as you go and not get caught out. to put it into context I once walked up the walker track on snowdon in the middle of a gale but was completely sheltered until I got up near to the top. then the wind was finally hitting us and it was time to turn round. hope that helps.

    • @harvey123go4
      @harvey123go4 2 роки тому +3

      I totally agree, I think one of the main questions I ask myself is what is the real cost? nothing is simple maybe technology will get better and batteries "cleaner", it definitely was interesting to get to drive a hybrid and see what difference it made to the journey. We generally reduced our emissions by a third on most drives but again weigh that against the impact of the components of that vehicle, and well I'm not clear on the what's best. thanks for your comment!
