What Just Happened?! You Won't Believe It!

- It's now time for a new start and new location.
I think with all the rubbish and young people using the woodland and leaving tents and rubbish behind as built up to this happening.
I can apply to the new land owner for permission to continue using this small woodland but with the school planning on turning woodland into a kid friendly place it's for the best for me to just move on and find new camping location.

The trail cameras can only be used at weekends or holidays times.
You was like a ranger there. Keeping the animals safe., Showing how not to harm the trees. I love the sick fire you have.
Dan, can’t you volunteer to be an unpaid warden for the wood, through the school/new owners?
Which would obviously still grant you access to the wood.
Yippee your leaving yippee when I see you in pub I'll buy you pint best news all year thanks
@@pops6638 That's a great idea. Also it's not as if Dan would be camping there when the kids were there, as camping is normally evening/nights or weekends.
@@sally-annhudson7035 i couldn’t agree more Sally-Ann.
Just a little suggestion, you might be able to wirk with the school in order to teach about bushcrafting , camping , and outdoors activities related to what we love. You could really bring a positive change to some of those children's lives and help to continue the bushcrafting way .😊
Smart thinking
@@englishwoodsman it could be a win win situation along with a new path to bring video content to your channel.
That’s a great idea!
Speak to the school,you may have to pay for vetting,so you can work with the kids,it's worth a try.
And also to teach kids of today about 'leave no trace'
Hey Dan mate, I thought it's worth mentioning that when people do get permissions form landowners/farmers to use their woods etc, it's good practice every Christmas to give a card and a couple of bottles of something as a thank you. Also report any changes/damage you might find on your visits.
Thank you for your comment
EWM, you are an ambassador for preserving woodland camping responsibilities for the kids' outdoors activities! Cheers looking forward to when you resume vlogging!
I’m sorry for your loss. You have been taking care of those woods for a long time. Keep your memories and find a new place to make more. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your comment
Once the fence is up, there won´t be any wild animals there.
Valid point
That's what I was going to mention. Unless there are badgers sets that extend under the fence on both sides, or foxes den's, then nothing much is getting in.
That is what I was going to say nice one man 👍
Depends on fence type.
@@MsStevieWoo if it's a school I bet it's that 8ft anti clime fencing
My wife and I have been watching your channel a bunch and here are our thoughts: 1. Your cutting board is awesome! Use it!!! 2. When you buy your food and cook it on your stove while recording for your channel, you get to season it as you like and touch it and flip it and whatever you want. 🙂 3. We’re very grateful for your videos! We’re “being those people” and getting out and camping now, thanks to you! 4. You’re a good man! Reading fast isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, lol. 5. Last but not least, we’ve seen you laugh in the craziest of storms, you’re not a wimp! Keep camping my friend! You have a greater impact on the world than you think. 👍
Wow thank you for your lovely comments..it's great to hear your being that person..
Hi Dan maybe the school should get you to sort out some camping nights with the school kid's it would be good for me kid's
I can only email and wait to see what they say
Sorry to hear that, Mate.
However, I look forward to seeing you experiencing new areas and things.
Keep up the great work !!!
Hello Dan , So sad that the minority have spoiled that woodland , and now that the school has taken over , I can understand their thoughts on why you no longer have your permission , still onward to new pastures as is said , heres hoping that you manage to get another place . 🙂
Hi Bob 👋
Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope things work out for you there or at your new spot 🙏
Thank you English for the great times in those woods
This is a fantastic channel I’ve purchased many camping items off the back of you honest no bs reviews it’s fantastic the younger community are seeing the benefits of our local countryside and that you are helping in your own way keep up the good work ALL HAIL the English woodsman 👍
Why would a school have the children playing games hiding plastic objects in the wood when there are so many natural mysteries in the woods which can be turned into a game ?
Thought exactly the same thing.
Why not print out a sheet with pictures of trees and plants and send them out to find those.
Same story everywhere. Don't anybody put themselves out.
I don't know maybe because of the bright colours
a change of scenery is good for you and i am confident you will find more woodlands to camp. winter camping is my all time favourite. waiting eagerly for your next video.
What a lovely bloke, love watching ya x😊
Why not approach the school to teach the kids to appreciate camping and look after the area for future generations Dan.
That's one idea
Watched you spend a lot of time in that woodland, however sometimes we have to take stock on the changing Environment, absolutely you are doing the right thing , going for other locations .
It's bit depressing, but you know when a door closes, a better one opens. Either way, we will be watching your new adventures,
Stay safe, 😊
that sucks, can understand being crushed. hope you get the permission for the new spot. hopefully when you explain reason for the request they will be happy to help your channel
Sorry to see an end to this woodland. I enjoy watching your videos as I’m a beginner to camping. Looking forward to you finding other areas and more videos. I’m currently making choices between hammocks and tents as the old knees and hips are playing up! 😂
As one door closes another door opens, keeps things fresh & moving 👍 looking forward to your new era
You and grizzly, are the channels I watch the most, honest down to earth straight up guy's doing what you love simply pleasant happy videos with a little bit different each time, I'm from luddenden foot, thanks love what you do big huge 😊😊❤
I feel sad for you Dan. It's a shame that a few people have ruined it for everyone else. However, it's a nice idea for you to share your trail camera footage with the school. I'm sure the kids would love to see the wildlife. I'm sure you'll find lots of other places to camp. All the best mate 🙂👍
It's a shame Dan. But you will carry on and all your subscribers will still enjoy your adventures. All the best to you.
Best of luck finding a new place.
Thank you
Hi Dan i would apply for permission to camp there suggest that you do a talk to the school about your camping in the woods sad but a good video
That's something to think about
Dan
Sorry to hear this,All good things come to an end sometime lol,move on to a new location and keep up the good work.
I lost my "zone" years back, I have an area which is quite cheap to go to now , but I lose a shift of overtime to go there, so long as you can still get out somewhere and enjoy yourself , go for it!!
I have one more good woodland
Shame Dan right on our doorstep but we are very lucky plenty spots around mate Judy woods/ shelf gold course now abonded and just a nice quite woodlands now... all part of camping mate hunting new spots.. ❤
Hello watching now :)
👍👍👍👍
My junior school had a wild life wooded area in the 80s that had a small stream flowing through it but now it’s all overgrown with no trail paths from public or the school side for access to it. It’s a proper wild oasis now.
Thank you for watching
Thanks for saying be that person and get permission to camp in a woodland. I did just that and have totally relaxing nights there! So sorry to hear your losing your permission. Good luck with the trail camera, stay safe Dan atvb 👍🦊
Thank you for watching
Love seeing your videos. Haven't watched in any order. Just seen this one. Is very nice the school are using it and can gain from your knowledge and trail cams. Maybe do some "wild" camping in it with the school Kids or some outdoor bushcamp things.
6:15 a parting kiss from the woods?
Onward and upward, mate ☺️👍🏻
There will be better days, ahead Dan. Cheers mate.
100% mate
Enjoyed watching great place for the kids but sad that youll have to leave tho
Hey Dan, one door closes, another door opens.. !! Great channel as always.. 👍🏻👍🏻
Ask if you can be the custodian of the woods. You already clean it up, and perhaps you can put some games/traps for the kids . You might inspire the next generation
Good on ya 👍
If this helps to bring a new generation to understand nature and the need to look after woodland then it will be a good thing in the end. I too am fed up with seeing areas of woodland trashed by campers who neither know nor care for the essential principles of bushcraft. It is precisely through being encouraged when I was at primary school that I have come to where I am today in appreciating the outdoors looking after woodland.
Let's hope it's a good thing 🙏
Hi Dan a bit sad that this has happened only if people would learn to take care and respect what the world has to offer it would be a better place hopefully the school can come to some agreement to let you continue to camp maybe at holiday times or whatever take care mate and wish you the best 👍👌❤️🙏
Good luck English on your new adventures buddy.👍
Thank you
Sad to hear but on the other hand great news that it’s getting used for something positive and not just shut off.
Yep and not just a rich person been a idiot
Good luck finding a new spot don't stop the videos 😊
Never stop the videos mate
Hope you win a prize for finding all those coloured hoops !
I would love to see you with your own woodland mate , you deserve one
Top guy you're one of the best 😊
Dan this is sad news. Sorry to hear this. Hope something works out.
I know it’s a shame but you’ll find your new place. Keep the vids coming 👍🏻⛺️👍🏻
Definitely approach the school to see if you can do some work with the kids- imagine a school camping trip learning bushcraft stuff as a kid! Would be Amazin. And you can still then get legitimate access ..?
How do Dan. I'm totally gutted for you, matey. I know what it's like when you find somewhere like that - somewhere that feels so familiar and you know so well and feel at home in. I hope you find somewhere new where you feel just as comfortable. Love the channel, mate! Have a good one! 🙂Paul
I think the school should look at your website and maybe employ you, to coach young children how to act when out in the countryside. Also a few pointers in how to camp well.
Good buy Mr fox 🦊
😢😢😢
Stuff changes , this time probably for the better for all.
Looking forward to new adventures.
The school's don't give a shit to learn kids about nature and survival, look at them in Covid. The job is to get more kids into system, which means debt, cashless and glued to a computer or some other technology. School is where the system all starts. I guarantee the person who does have the jurisdiction with the woodland will just make it red tape, health and safety obsessed and not have any real interest in it maybe other than lip service to the local news paper or governors and the facade
One door closes another one opens😊
I really hope so mate
THANK YOU..
Sorry you lost your woodland, long term viewer wishing the best 👍
Hi Dan. You could always apply to be the health and safety officer of the woods. You could do the risk assessments as you always seem to find things poking out etc. Anyway you did ok before you had the permission woodland on your channel. Take care.Cheers, Ian
The woodland gave you a nasty send off with a stick to the head
I’m sure you'll find a nice place , you’re very resourceful!
Take care and happy camping🏕️
Sorry that you have to leave the site. But as you said the school will be using the site at least the site will be used for teaching.
100% true
Hopefully you get a new permission woodland soon Dan. 👍🏼
Hopefully
Sad to have to leave this spot that has so many memories. I’m sure it will work out for you !!
Cowboy hats are great to protect your face from brushes (large hard brim) :) Its what I use anyways.
That's a shame mate but there's plenty of other places to camp, i've got permission somewhere local to me but i only go there 20% of the time, see you in the next one Dan 👍⛺️
If i was you i would try for permission anyway, if they say no then call it a day & move on, like someone has already said once that fence is up the wildlife will dwindle fast there won't be much to catch on cam. I have asked a few landowners if i can camp in thier woodland & found that if you explain yourself genuinely & mention the LEAVE NO TRACE etiquette it puts them at ease, I've never been denied access. Great video's I've been watching you for a while now fella 👍
Bad news Dan. Good luck finding a new spot🤞🏻
I just hope I can find more woodland
Lovely video English woodsman, very caring thinking about the next generation. Sad things happen for a reason. Thank you for sharing.
Well said
There is some woodland near me that I have used. I asked permission from the owner and he was fine with me using it now and again. I used to drop a note through his post box, at the head of his drive, to say I was there. Fast forward to one weekend where there had been about 15-20 young people who descended on it and basically used it as a tip! Broken bottles, tents, plastic bottles and beer cans and bottles, all left. So now no one can go there. I think it's partly education of the young people that THIS is their environment. It's not the Amazon, it's not the Polar Bears on ice fields. It's local woods and fields they need to care for. I have tried when I meet them, but there really is no interest. It's good the local school where you are is gaining the resource, but everyone else loses out. Onwards to the next place though. Thank you for your content and work to bring it to the screen. Much appreciated.
Have you asked the Landowner if you can continue using the Woodland I return for you helping to keep it tidy and safe
Hi from Australia
Just watched yr video and thought you might like to look at my set up, Australian locations and camp cook ups.
Cheers and safe travels
Out There Touring
sad to hear that the woodland has been took over, but at least it wont be torn down and houses put on it, and the school is going to make use of it, for wild life adventures etc. Nice for you to do the trail cameras for the school, as that will be interesting for the children. They will get the chance to see who lives there and what goes on during day and night. As a few people mentioned before, you could teach a few children with their parents on how to camp and leave no trace, You will be a great teacher at that. Teach the golden rule of no trace. Also a nice new area is always a change too, more adventures, maybe you could find a woodland with a lake or a river of some sort, and you can try out a few water bottle filters. Keep at it my friend and i will see you in another camp video,😃
Thank you 😊
That sicks Dan maybe the school would let you summer and week ends
I can only ask
Not an end just a new beginning.
Hope so
Its a shame that you have to move on from an area that obviously means a lot to you but it can only be the beginning of a new era for you and your channel, I wish you the very best of luck with the change...
I also hope that the school uses the space as an opportunity to properly educate kids how to treat the natural spaces we have left...
Good luck...👍
Thank you we have spent many nights there. But time to move on
Onwards and upwards buddy 🎉
Yep 👍
Can only be a good thing for channel, people will enjoy seeing different locations and permission camps take the thrill out of being spotted
You might want some safety glasses for your walks in the woods. Have fun stay safe.
WOW thats so sad that a school are literally putting kids "fun" 1st before wildlife!!! There's plenty of places they could use OR make use of the school grounds and have a wee area they can use. No animals get scared off their trail or harmed by rubbish.
First time i have seen your video and i for onw think you should keep going and do more videos and find "your space"
Your very respectful Dan good for you
Thank you for watching
Been watching you a long now mate
Hi Dan have you thought about approaching the school and see if they want to do a trade? ie you set up some camping gear for the school kids to have a look around / see what camping is / supervised by the school + your trail cam idea in exchange for being able to use the site at the say the weekends? Another education lesson / lessons / project for the kids of the use of camping gear / basic set ups and you still get the access you need. Rather than give aways on you channel sponsor the school with your an used gear? The school might well think its a good idea?
Something to think about
So a school hides rings in the woods for the children to go fetch?
Did they get an outstanding from Ofsted with that lesson plan 🧐
Sorry to hear about the woodland you can't use it was a great woodland it had memories Dan thanks Dan 👍👌🙌
Thanks 👍
Ay up Dan, a door closing but approach the school. Show them your vids. Offer to be a unpaid warden/ranger. Set up tasks and adventures for the kids. Work with the school and get the kids parents onboard. You may have to get a CRB clearance but once sorted it's all good. Keep us posted mucka. Good luck , Steve 👍👍
Sad times bud what a shame
Yep 👍
New Greener camping sites!=8)
My problem is that I must locate the farmer, get their permission to pitch up ...and directions on where to tip the early morning output of my rear quarter... - back in my travelling days I learned that interacting with the farmers not only yields a better nights sleep but can yield some work ...and They pay YOU ...and you pitch up (with hookup) for FREE!!! ...work well and you can get WI-FI, showers, laundry...
...steak and mushrooms for dinner.......
RIGHT: it is emotional to say goodbye to a favorite, comfortable woodland. Each of us has our favorites! New permissions? You know what you are looking for!
It is getting harder to find permission land now , due to large companies buying all the Woodland they can as " Carbon Offset " so as to still be able to carry on with their poluting ways , I can see that its going to be tough .😔
I have two little woodland I can use but this one was great
the problem I see with the trial cams is that if the wood is fenced, you'll not have a lot of access for the animals so the continue to use them, but show how the change in use is also effecting the wildlife's use of the wood. I suspect you'll see a marked decline in the bigger animals and maybe a total loss of them. That is not good for the woodland or the school.
Sounds like as one door closes another opens to me, it is sad to see the opportunity to camp there end (maybe temporary) but to aid in the education of the children is a potentially huge opportunity!
Dan, why don’t you approach the school volunteering to be a “woodland supervisor’. Part of the role of looking after the woodland would be checking all is ok and reporting back to the school if anything needs to be made safe for the kids(dangerous trees, holes in the fence, etc) if they were happy for you to do this you would have access any time you want. Camping out in the wood would be part of the role to make sure trespassers don’t get in. The school might even pay for some more trail cameras you could use as cctv to monitor the wood. Only a thought but it might work. All they need to do to establish that you are a responsible woodsman is view you videos as you always promote best practice. Leave no trace etc.
Too much responsibility for no gain. Parents blaming Dan if he misses something one of the kids gets injured on ect. Nightmare.
Its a shame you have to move on, but sometimes its nice to start again someplace new.
Hi mate yep I fully agree
Why don't you offer the school your services. A bit of simple bushcraft simple cooking and show the kids how to have a fire safely and ethically. You have a lot to offer kids kids like kindness and you have acres of it !!!
Something to think about
Dan ill have a chat with my long time friends " David and sue they have a farm near Halifax. My hunting spot 👍
Will there be wild life (wild animals with 4 legs) if they fence it off? There again, don't really know how big the wood land is. Large enough gaps for foxes etc
I don't know but in time I hope I can take a look
Ask the school if they'd plan a summer camp out for the kids and you could show them what it's all about
Probably available when school is out for the summer.
Sad Dan. Sorry to watch this. But hey, one door closes, and another door opens.
Shame for you but good for the kids...atb...jeff.
Aw how sad ,im sorry ,why why do people spoil it for others 😢 Can i say tho Happy fathers day to all the Dads ❤❤
👍👍👍👍
