    I’m from Seattle USA and western Washington state. It always blows me away how much western Washington and the UK (especially England) are alike! Wet, lush, allot of rain (and mist) thick (and often browning) and bare vegetation, etcetera. Beautiful and what i like! I could move to England (the country of my heritage) and probably feel at home and get on quite well.

    Sorry to hear about the HGV. I did the test many years ago and have to say it was hard work, so feel your pain. Being a woman, i also had to prove myself in what was mostly a man's world. I passed my test on the third go because i had invested so much time and money i couldn't give up. Sorry if you feel you have gone as far as you can but if there's any chance for one more go i'd say go for it. Love your channel and your mad trips. Stay stealthy!

    You are without a doubt, the best car camping channel on UA-cam. I've kept up to date with you since the start... for raw, honest, budget camping nobody does it like you. That being said, I was viciously attacked in a case of mistaken identity earlier this year which put an end to my dreams of coastal wild camping in the summer. You were right not to take any chances in that car park, there's some real nasty f**kers about, I know this first hand. The only thing I would have done differently in your situation was arm myself with a tool on the way out. Secondly, it sounds like you've got one or two other challenges in your life at the minute Adam - that's okay these things happen, I've got plenty right now and I'm sure some of us watching your vids appreciate them as rest respite from our hectic lives. Chill out, reflect and do what is important for you and your family's well-being. I'll be sure to tune in when you're back online.

    Another great video. I just about pissed myself when you put that green witch up. It's a shame you had to leave the car park due to those sketchy bastards. I'll tell you what mate, here in the USA you never know what your going to find at car parks and unpaid campgrounds. Once I was staying over night in a campground with one of my friends and after getting settled in, we played our guitars and sang a few songs, and out of the blue, in the middle of the darkness, someone started clamping. It freaked me out because there were no other cars that parked in this very small campground, and we couldn't see who was clapping. This campground was very remote; in Big Foot Country (Humboldt/Trinity County). Who knows, maybe it was Bigfoot, but I ended up staying in my truck all night holding my gun. I am glad you trusted your instincts and bailed. Now that more people are camping and living in their cars, it seems there are more weirdos out there ready to take advantage. People just need to be aware of their surroundings. By the way, all the scenery in your video was spectacular.

Noticed when you park up, you always face in, was told you should always park up facing out and leave enough room behind you incase you need more room, you can always use that space to reverse into. Hopefully the car won't cost to much to repair, and if it takes a couple of weeks before we see you again, we'll all be waiting. !!!

    Hi Adam, I'm a car camper too. I've been as far north as Sky and as far south as Wales and Cornwall. I've just came across your UA-cam channel. I enjoyed it and you made me laugh when you were trying not to land on your butt coming back down from the hill. Lol I agree with some of the others if your getting out of the car arm yourself with a tyrer rench or one of those metal tools for removing your wheel if you have a flat tyre. That way you can't get stopped by the police as having an offensive weapon. Lol those your allowed to have in your car. Lol and if anyone says anything to you you could just tell them you had a flat tyre you've just fixed and your just heading. Lol the government don't want people to be van lifers or car lifers because they don't have much control over you. So it will get worse before it gets better. But I don't know what the law is on parking in a carpark that
    A, has no parking meters so you could pay to park.
    B, you have road tax to be on any road in UK and therefore your already paying to be on the road. And.
    C, is it just the locals not wanting van life people coming to camp and therefore they've had the signs put up because I'm quiet sure that can't be legal if they don't own the land.
    Look up bylaws on parking and you could point them out in your UA-cam videos. That will definitely get you followers. Good luck anyway. I'll subscribe and keep watching to see where you are next. If your ever in Scotland come to Greenock 30 miles south of Glasgow there's plenty of parking with beautiful scenery and walks and nobody would bother you. XXKathleen from Greenock Scotland.

    I have been Binge watching your videos the last couple of days. a simple search for car camping led me to a few channels but I have to give you credit where its due, your whacky nature and entertaining videos had me giggeling to myself. I hope one day someone can make clips of your squeeky gates and put them together to recreate some kind of song that would be fantastic. youtube is full of talented individuals and your certainly one of them, you remind me of Guy Pearce and Colin Furze all rolled into one. You earnt a Sub and a bell from me anyway.

    Wild camping (and probably car camping) is safer in the Highlands of Scotland, where there are fewer people around. You can easily find solitude there. The only really bad experience I ever had camping was at an official campsite in Dent in Cumbria. I do my wild camping in Scotland in the middle of nowhere.

    Enjoying your enthusiasm here. With the stray & filter, just take a container, maybe a cup or small bottle, scoop up some water then use the filter to drink from that. You just have to treat the container as contaminated & never drink directly from it, always use the filter with it. You can get filters that screw directly onto a bottle. Drinking through a filter is tedious though.
    If you are camping overnight near water, you can get a 2 bag gravity filtering system to filter a few litres overnight.
    Sawyer is one company that makes them. So that is great for treating sufficient daily water, but the straw or a filter on a bottle are better for clean water on the move during the day.

    Just bumped into your channel by this recommended video.
    Your style is so authentic and genuine, absolutely love it and you gave me some good laughs as well, especially with that drinking unit and the indoor cooking. I recognise myself in you in some kind of way. I just started with converting my Mitsubishi into a mini camper, nothing fancy and just pragmatic to be able to sleep and eat in my car when I'm out for a kayak or packrafting trip. My worst fear is to get stalked by people during an overnighter in my car, or even get robbed when not sleeping on a camp site. Thanks for this video, it brought me a lot of joy and inspiration. Cheers Olaf

    Hey adam. Im new to the chanell. I passed my class 2 last week. Its been the biggest challenge of my life. I clipped a curb on first test and failed. Like you, after i hadnt driven the truck for over a week was promised a hour. Anyway short story. I got 10mins before my test to refresh the mind. On my test the examinner led us into a area where all the roads where closed and the truck wouldnt fit down the diverstion. At that point i was convinced i had failed as i mounted the curb trying to turn the cab around. Anyway i did pass with 1 minor. Dont give up mate. Im back there in january to do the class 1.. if youve invested the money take a month away from it and have another go. You can do it!

    Don't believe the hype of the HGV mate, the money isn't 30k+ I've been a class 1 tramper doing 70hr weeks and was only bringing £550 a week. The £20ph rates are for weekends at night and most of your pay will be made up of midweek £14ph. I've done van work, driving instructor and hgv and none of them pay what they claim. I know you might not completely agree with me right now but you wouldn't see much of your family driving a truck and the way haulage works with the money margins drivers are the ones who get shat on from up high. The only "great" job would be petrol tankers but you would need to live relatively close to a refinery and plenty of experience to boot. Driving trucks growned me down until I left the industry and although I don't get as much money my work life balance is a weight off my shoulders. If you live near alot of haulage companies then have a go at getting a planners job in the office they also have a few step ups the ladder to make it a genuine career option. All the best with the grind Adam, I say you've dodged a bullet.

    This subject hits close to home Adam. I live in Switzerland where I`ve spent hundreds of nights in my Kangoo in the mountains. A month ago in the pitch black a car came screeching round the corner, hand fully on his horn, parked a metre from me, still hand on horn. I was in the back cooking. I lost my cool and screamed at him from point blank distance. Good job he didn`t have a gun.
    He drove off, but repeated the same, from the opposite direction. I surprised myself that I was more angry than frightened. Only later when I reparked down valley did I think wow that could have ended very badly for me

    Alright chief? Just found your channel.
    I'm a lorry driver and the thing that made my test easier is this.... you know how, in your lessons, your instructor keeps telling you things as you drive? Well, I asked my exam geezer in the test, do you mind if I talk to myself while I do this? He said no problem. I'm telling you mate, instead of doing it in silence and it feeling tense, as I drove around I spoke to myself. For example, you have to turn left, and say.."indicate,.... mirror... slowly.....,no traffic..... keep going,... mirror"... It sounds silly but it does 3 things. It stops you being tense, it shows the examiner you know the stuff you should be doing and it reminds you what to do and in what order. Even driving along say, "ok 40 zone, no problem." Trust me, it helps.
    And when you pass, you'll love nights out. Night heater blasting, talkradio on or listen to some footie, cosy lighting, sat in your pants when it's -8°c outside. It's great. Best of all, as you're so high up you feel safe. I've never felt unsafe on a night out, ever, particularly if in a lorry park.
    Anyway keep trying. You can practice talking to yourself in the car too. Doesn't have to be a lorry.
    Anyway enough from me. You've got a new sub mate. 👍🏼
