Proving children aren’t a burden to travel, yet the adventure itself, one YT video at a time.

TINY IN THE WILD: WildCamping Cyprus with Toddlers
An adventure to recreate a Scottish Wildcamp only this time we live in Cyprus and own NO camping gear. How hard can it be?
Inspired by some of our favourite channels including @LiamBrown, @RambleFamily, and @ThomasHeatonPhoto we slow things down in this film and concentrate on the journey more than creating hyper-edited content. The result is our favorite upload to date, not only because the process was more enjoyable but the memories will be stronger when we watch this back in years to come.
The entire two days were just a dream for us as parents, watching our little adventurers navigating their way over pretty gnarly terrain including many river crossings. We're so proud of them.
Our hike started in the beautiful Troodos Square, ending in Pano Platres. We followed the Kaledonia Waterfall Trail, probably one of our favorite spots in Cyprus.

It's been a bit of a journey up until now as we've been figuring out where we sit in the content creator world. We think we've figured it out by realising what we DON'T enjoy doing.

Since starting our channel this year we've had fantastic organic growth (at least we think so!) Have we gone viral? NO. Is that a good thing? YES. We'd much prefer a smaller but engaged audience that cares about the content we're putting out and wants to enjoy the process together. That's why we think focusing on the audience is more important, not how viral you can go. We are The Simply Living...

Was this video colour graded? Looks great. Haven’t got much experience with grading and log etc so hoping footage out the camera looks pretty decent
New follower here! I love your videos. Hope I can buy dji 3 this camera soon so I can shoot quality videos with my family as well.
Has anyone looked at the Pocket 2 v Pocket 3 comparison. I'm thinking for the money...The 2 still packs a punch...What do others think. Don't get me wrong 3 is nice but rather $$$ right now.
I need to brush up on my camera skills 😆 🤣 the Zoo is on our list of to do's! I've just watch your other videos "Stop making boring Vlogs" and "the easiest way to grow a small channel" aswell as the 1 where your camping with the kids! Loving the vids
I make Video and its without Sound i think IT with IT was Red Light in micriofon ..how i can geht my audio from the mic pleas?? ITS possible that i found IT?
Actually the colour in your Gopro looks great😂😂as compared to the Pocket. Bad salesman😂but you made me laugh a couple of times. I am actually thinking of buying this thing (Pocket 3). Thank you for the vid!
The awld roaaaaaad
You keep calling it a DGI. Most CZcams people do this. Must be tricky to say for most. Good video, I’m a fan of the Pocket
I’m really enjoying being a part of this beautiful family ♥️🙏😀
Awesome hike. Well done all! Lively waterfall!
Lovely way to spend time with family 😊 looks a nice route with a lot of variety. The waterfall stop looked very nice.
Thank you, it was a lovely adventure. It's so great seeing the kids in their element 🥰
why the hell is DJI super overexposed???
Because this was the first day I'd got it and I hadn't quite got to grips with it 🤦♂️🤣 if you see any of my more recent videos you'll see I've since starting using the ND filters 🙏
You guys are an awesome adventure family. You’re making great memories. I’m predicting your subscriber count is going to jump up quickly with entertaining and professional looking videos like this. 👍
Thank you Craig, that really means a lot. Id love for more people to see our videos, particularly the ones like this we will do in future, purely just so we can try and inspire parents to get out and adventure with their kiddos. 🥰 We appreciate you being here. 🙏
I just record the things I see when I’m out and about. Reels and shorts mainly just attract subscribers. Well shorts, reels have done nothing for me. Most of my stuff has been on CZcams and I think you are going down the right step. I would say good luck but I don’t think you need it tbh. ATB Ray
Thank you Ray 🙏 We're definitely just sticking to CZcams now, it's such a good community where people actually leave lovely comments like yours 🥰 Jake
@TheSimplyLivingFamily yep agree with that. Surround yourself with the best people mate. Ive subscribed back so will be interesting to see what adventures you all get up to
Thank you Ray, you might quite enjoy our most recent video from a wildcamp we did :)
I’m always trying to find ways on how to make my channel grow. I’m glad you left a comment for me on my video. This obviously brought me to you. You gave so good advice. Leaving comments and time will help channels grow. I liked and subscribed. Have a great day. 👍
Good to know my own advice works, ☺️ it's such a great way of connecting with like minded folk 🙏 I appreciate you being here and glad we're connected 😎
Awesome kids. You all made so many wonderful memories and great job Mom and Dad too. Really like your filming techniques and your narration style.
Comments like this just make our day 👏🥰 thank you, this was a bit experimental for us and we didn't know at all what the reaction would be. Thanks again for being here, hopefully one day we can reach a lovely audience like yours 🙏
Fantastic shooting with the osmo pocket 3! Inspiring video!
Thank you! It definitely makes this content a lot easier having such a fantastic, small camera 👌
Looks really nice. 😊😊😊
It was amazing, thank you 🙏♥️
Really enjoyed the video. We guys are an inspiration to a lot of people and parents.
That means SO much, thank you! That's the whole point of this channel is to inspire parents to keep adventuring 🥰
Wow amazing kids, amazing video! Love the new style ❤
They're mega, 🥰
Amazing! Are there no wild animals? so brave for the kids to be in the dark woods!
Thank you 🙏♥️ apart from a few lizards and the birds we actually didn't see anything. I'm not entirely sure what wild animals there is here 😊
You have great, chilled kids!.lovely video..
They're pretty awesome 😎 chilled not so much 🤣 Appreciate the comment, thank you 🙏
We really hope you enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed making it ❤
How good is this video and love your progress mate 🤩🔥 Excited for another video yay cheers man love ur content
just wanted to say i really enjoyed this short film, very easy going and you told the story in a simple but beautiful way. I love that both of your narrated as well. I can't wait for the next one!
Aw man, that means SO much 🙏♥️ This is a first try for us in this style but we really enjoyed the process and was hoping others would enjoy it too 🥰
All I can hear is the elevator music in the background ...
You're the first person to say that but I am always a bit conscious of what level to set it at before it just disappears. Thanks for the heads up 👍
@@TheSimplyLivingFamily It's very distracting. You should leave it out, so viewers can concentrate and listen to the audio samples you're presenting.
@@pmottmott4996 noted, thank you 👍
I’m the same, never know what to video about. I made loads on my camera, sit down to edit then I’m like meh that’s actually rubbish 😅 hens why I only have two videos on my Chanel haha. I’m thinking of videoing my daily life homeschooling and as a military family but my daily life is actually pretty boring.. But then I’m only focusing on a small audience. It’s so hard to be different with content but also aiming yourself toward trending topics.
I think the key early on is to just keep on creating and trying to improve something with every video. You'll eventually find what you enjoy talking about, homeschooling is definitely a hot topic at the moment though and I'd enjoy seeing more content about that. Subscribed to you and hope to see you make more videos 🙏
I wonder if doing the EQ effects for the internal mic would be good and then no need for the external dji mic 👀
It'd definitely improve it but it may also amplify any background noise aswell, that's why having the targeting mic just on you is better in most cases 👌
Love this review, mate. I have the insta360 x3, and I used it on a holiday last year. It stands out in the crowd. The introvert in me makes the go 3 the perfect camera. Will defo go for this camera bow, thanks
Really appreciate that, thank you.. 🙏 it's a perfect camera for capturing footage in situations that you'd rather not be drawing attention to yourself. If you do buy it, please consider using the link in our description. It's the same cost to you but we'd get a little something from Insta360 and you get a free gift ♥️
How did you edit the audio lik that 2:30 I have a DJI and don’t know how to work or edit the mic audio
Hey, thanks for the comment. To make the audio sound bad I just played around with settings in Premiere. To make it sound good, I've got an entire dedicated video on our page about DJI audio 🙏
❤
I don't know if I am allowed to put a link but if you need to get an idea, I am following this family and maybe you can check "Fernweh Chronicles" they love to travel too.
I think it's a good idea. like traveling in one place to another and saving some B-rolls then edit it and upload it by the end of the month. Can't wait the next journey!
Thank you! We're very much looking forward to the adventure ❤
There's the little girl, now a complete happy family. Did you just put the ND filter? Was it a Freewell brand?
I actually splashed out a bit and got the DJI ND filters and Black Mist 🤦♂️🤣
Wishing you all the best on your journey ahead.. ❤🙏✨
Appreciate that, thank you 🙏
I am excited to see the new videos. I sorely focus on youtube. I have also struggled to find my thing on youtube especially when certain videos take off but you don't want to be known for that specific thing but i tell myself I AM THE NICHE. You are the niche and go create what you enjoy.
Cheers! I've just subscribed to your channel, looks like we have similar interests and now I need to binge your content! Thanks for being here :)
Will definitely stick around. We are much newer to it than you and we really need to find our niche! Looking forward to more content from you. I only use YT anyway so hadn’t seen you elsewhere. Good luck
Appreciate that, thank you! It's cliche but don't rush, have fun and experiment and it'll come to you when it does ❤
Can’t wait! ❤
It's going to be a lot of fun ❤
Nice video
Thanks Peter 🙏
Excited to see your new videos, it’s so hard sometimes to find your ‘thing’ on YT. Iam not sure Iv found mine yet tbh…. But am having fun along the way however it turns out 🤣
Us too 🥰♥️ this also means we will have more time to catch up and binge other creators content. I've saved one of yours in my watch later 🙏
Where is the little girl.. Beautiful family.
She was at playgroup that day. Thank you 🥰
Love your editing style, keep on going!
Really appreciate your comment, thank you 🙏🥰
Commenting for comment :)
I like what you did there 👌
Fully agree. Never again GoPro
We still pull the GoPro out now and again but only for it's waterproof capabilities 🙏
I hope this helps 💯💯💯 🤣🤣
I deserve this.. 🤣
Do you think you need the freewell ND filters in UK weather?
It really depends whether you're bothered about having that 'cinematic' motion blur. It will sort itself out with NDs but with them you can control the shutter speed. 👍
💯 had me laughing. It means ‘facts’ or ‘I agree’ I think that’s how the kids say it these days. Totally agree with trying to get IG or TikTok followers to transfer to CZcams. It just doesn’t translate because they are used to short form content. This is the reason why I also stopped making CZcams shorts. Short form viewers are only gonna be here for short form as opposed to people who want to watch long form. Two different audiences I’m starting to realize.
Yes Iv noticed that but shorts draw in subs and I figure if I do some shorts they may have g around for them even if not driving the watch time up. I may think about stopping doing the odd short once monetised though.
Thank you for teaching me to be 'cool' 🙏🥰 I definitely feel you with reels/shorts. The results of them are too varied for me to really bother putting much effort into them 😕
