That's just simply impressive. 👏
Thanks. It's a beautiful place.
Oxwich Adventures, great content
Thanks!
I am sorry. Please send that rain to Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Southern Italy. There is droight and in some areas even wildfires. Thank you and God bless 🏞️
Yeah, it's not good seeing what man made climate change is doing to weather patterns.
❤
The Secret Life of Trees is a great book, and on Netflix the Fantastic Fungi documentary is incredible!
I watched half of it it was incredible❤🎉😊
THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY BELONGING TO THE ALVESTON VILLAGE ASSOCIATION. TRESSPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED!!!!!
Hi Stephen, thanks for letting us know 🙏
Thankyou staying nearby there tom wouldn't have ever known
How was your trip?
Rip
Hi Jayme, is that Rip NT or something else 🤨
i have subscribed to you well done on 163 subs
@@jaydenvr2211 Thanks Stephanie. I hope you find some of our videos helpful, would love to know what you think.
Nice dirty water from the car
That's the beauty of the LifeSaver Jerrycan (although, the better the water then the better the taste) 🤓
Fahnoow
This one is only when there's no decent wild water available. It's incredible how much water comes off roofs etc., it's a shame more people with houses aren't supported to capture rainwater and use it in their house.
@@oxwichadventuresI was trying to spell how you pronounce funnel lol
Ha, good one ;-)
Do you consume the water or is it used for showering, boiling etc? If you do drink it, do you boil/purify first?
Yeah, that's why the LifeSaver Jerrycan is so good as it can filter any wild water for drinking (I'm not sure about radioactive etc. as I'm sure there are limits). I do also use their showerhead attachment for washing dishes and showering. For drinking, the taste is better when the quality of the water is better, e.g. water from a mountain river or waterfall is much tastier than water from a waterbutt or lowland river (I actually avoid lowland rivers as we have problems in the UK with water companies dumping sewage into rivers and brooks so I go with water from streams etc. when I'm not properly in the wild).
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY AND IF YOU SWIM HERE YOU WILL BE TRESPASSING! Swiffen Bank is owned by Alveston Village Association. There are high level of nitrates in the river - we do weekly testing - 70% of nitrates are from agriculture and 30% are from sewerage effluent! Beware!!
Hi Jane, thanks for the heads-up, noted.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY AND YOU WILL BE TRESPASSING IF YOU SWIM HERE!! It is owned by Alveston Village Association for the benefit of the villagers of Alveston. We can also confirm that there are very high level of nitrates in the river and we are currently carrying out weekly testing NB 70% of nitrates are from agriculture and 30% are from sewerage effluent!
Hi Jane, thanks for the heads-up, noted.
This looks so exciting, I’m going this summer either with or without my son but if I have to go on my own I will! Scary or not!
Enjoy. It's an interesting place, but please be careful, stay safe, look out for signage, and let others know your plans if you're exploring alone etc. Share some video/pics etc.
🤢 🤢
Yeah, it looks a bit real 😮
@@oxwichadventuresaye I would maybe eat the finished product but dear god that pig head looking at me is gonna give me nightmares
I realize it's a pig's head you're boiling, but those carrots were manky looking.
Ha, it's quite a while ago, but I'm pretty sure the carrots were all good, likely organic carrots from Abel and Cole veg box.
The only environmental problem this planet has is Too. Many. People. You're not going to save the planet by saving a gallon Diesel here and there. Not breeding and getting the world population back down under 1 billion will fix just about every environmental problems, including the imaginary ones.
I agree that the population can't keep growing as it is, and David Attenborough's "A Life on Our Planet" explains this well. However, it's also crucial to shift our lifestyles away from consumerism and waste. By approaching life with compassion for ourselves and others and being conscious of our impact, we can collectively strive to leave the planet better than we found it (considering the future that I leave for my son is a big personal driver for me). Every step toward a more sustainable way of living, however small, can contribute to a healthier future for us all.

Hey Robin, is that % of carbon dioxide?
@@oxwichadventures yes well done 😁
It's crazy isn't it, such a tiny amount of carbon dioxide can have such a significant impact. After learning about Organic Regenerative Farming from Kiss the Ground (Netflix docu etc.), it's such a missed opportunity that more farmers aren't farming with nature because there is more carbon dioxide in the air than ever and that's what plants grow from..., plus free nitrogen in the air etc. etc.)
Climate change? Lol. This is definitely a western propaganda. We asian all know palm oil have tons of health benefits and way better than sunflower oil. 😂😂😂
The problem with palm oil is the associated deforestation, mono culture etc. The crop itself, so I've read, is a low cost alternative because a lot of the plant can be used. The ideal scenario is ethically and sustainably produced palm oil.
I'm going to install a cubic mini woodstove when i convert my small van. Cant stand the cold and its great for drying out van interiors. ❤
I'd love to know how you get on with this. The diesel heater is super efficient, but it would be great to move away from burning fossil fuels. I also think it "might" be possible to power a woodstove from foraged/fallen wood.
Been using them for years. Also worth mentioning that they take your old Oral B heads so you can switch and send a load off to get recycled 🪥
That's great. I didn't know they will also recycle "other" toothbrush heads. Thanks!
How easy is it to get down?
Is it a bit tricky as it does require a bit of scrambling. But the rock is quite rough, which makes it nice and grippy, and in layers so you get steps to make your way down.
Interesting😮😮
Thanks
Won't be secret soon. Thanks
That's a good spot, in a nice village (not so secret). Easy to get to with a very small walk.
"Promo SM"
?
We did this same test on the soil food web class, beautifully done..
Yeah, this is a fun one, and quite an eye opener on what happens when soil is dead.
It's getting saturated, so be careful about laying it on fabric- that's why it has a hanging loop! I'd hate to see you stain a shirt!
Good tip 🙏🙏🙏
Good video, reminds me of the 80's when my mum used to make it for sandwiches for dads lunch. I might try to make this one day
Thanks for sharing that memory, Duncan! It's amazing how certain dishes can transport us back in time. If you do decide to give it a try, I'd love to hear how it turns out. Happy cooking! 🍴✨
im making this right now 😊
Ooooo bernardooo silvaaaa
Ha, nice ;-)
They made ChatGPT look darker didn't they?
Yeah. I prefer dark mode. Easier on the eye, and more drawn towards the words/content than the background. And from an eco-conscious perspective it must use less energy, bonus ;-)
Short of parking the motorhome in a warmed up garage that is probably a good advice....
Thanks Michael. It's certainly been quite an experience working out how to live in the motorhome through the depths of winter. Waking up to -4C inside the motorhome was fun (more videos going live soon talking about limitations of the Renogy lithium ion battery at 5C or less, nothing wrong with the product, just another example of adapting my lifestyle...)
have you tried it before?
We used to make the dough and do 'proper' pizzas, but that always created a lot more washing up (oily oven tray etc.) and took some time. So, in the interest of living an off-grid life and having more time to enjoy the outside we decided to speed up the process, and super tasty.
Cuteeee ❤❤
Thanks 🙏
Looks so peaceful, a little spooky but more relaxing.
It was a lovely spot, parked in the middle of the dell (super narrow single track road as we drove out in the morning, had to turn around and go back the way we came as it was too narrow for our motorhome). We didn't get time to explore up to the stream, but you can find it in the Wild Guide Central England book by wildthingspublishing.com.
On spring tides, an hour either side of low water, you can walk around on the sand from Broughton beach if you dont fancy the cliff path. May and August big tides are really good, if the weather is nice with low water normally falling around lunchtime. The pool refreshes with sea water every high tide so it gets cleaned out.
Thanks John, we'll try that the next time we're at the Gower 🙏
What a view!
Yeah, this was well worth the drive as the lake is beautiful, very accessible, and surrounded by stunning mountains and scenery.
the most asinine invention ever
good stuff, glad it's not just me 😁
i think you’ve been walking through abbey park for too long. lost your mind
Ha, good one 😂
May I respectfully ask, how does touring in a motorhome fit with saving the planet ?
Good question: I'm living in the motorhome so overall I'm living a very low impact life, such as apart from the renting office space every other week and using diesel (that I would love to avoid) I get my water offgrid, most of my electric through solar, eat organic, rarely buy clothes or go 'shopping', minimal waste, doing my best to live a lifestyle that considers others and our future etc. Thanks for asking 👍 and I'm always open to new ideas to reduce my impact, and help to inspire others.
@@oxwichadventures Thank you for your considered response, I guess my question was more about "touring", is this not unnecessary travel, with respect of course ? The old adadge "less is more" springs to mind, perhaps it is something we could all do, we all have too much these days & there are so many of us.
✌️😎
Thanks 🙏
Stunning view!
Great place to stay. Very social, lots of people playing in the water, BBQs etc.
Where in the uk
It's the north side of The Gower coast. Here on Google Maps maps.app.goo.gl/gvkc5aY9QqZu77VX7

How you doing?. very amazing recording~;)
Thanks. This one was a beautiful beach with bright sand and crystal clear water.
Hope it didn't tempt any bugs from the trees!
All good, thanks to the window nets 😄
It is set up lol
I wish it was. Maybe it was dropped by accident, oh well, at least I could take it back and do my bit 👍
Did you put that there 🤣
Too many nice things to experience to waste time pretending to drop rubbish 👍
Why remove the ears?
Excellent question, and I can't remember why. I'd have to find the recipe, which I think was from an episode of the Victorian Farm series (maybe from the book)...
So it fits in the pan, put them in as well
Finally a good short
Thanks 🙏
