Portaledge Tree Camp in Urban Woodland

Wow ! what an amazing camp, high up in the tree canopy on my homemade portaledge.
Physically and mentally exhausting in getting everything set up but worth all the effort for a magical unforgetable experience.

[@PaulMessner]

There is a fine line between being a genius and absolutely bonkers...and you Pat, are a genius (all be it a bit bonkers 😄) Again you have smashed it out of the park with your creativity, humour and sheer determination and effort to entertain us. A massive thumbs up from me mate for taking us along for your magical camp. Best wishes from me and Jo.

[@mapleleafer74]

Albeit

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Nice to hear from you both Paul, sometimes when I,am swinging 40 foot up on a rope, just to set a camera up for a 10 sec bit of footage, I wonder what I,am doing, then the adhrenlin sets in, and I realise why, excitement, fun, the challenge, so many different reasons that make it all worthwhile.
Where to go next, perhaps another tree, all the best Paul...... thanks Pat 👍

[@adrianh9375]

Paul, great to learn that you are also a Patrick Dickinson fan! I subscribe to your channel as well as his and thoroughly enjoy both. I spent my childhood in Sheffield close to where Patrick lives (I think) and have spent the last 40 years living in the Peak District so both channels often show locations familiar to me. Great comment re. this vid. 👍

[@glynthegasman5824]

Do ya know summat. You really are an incredible bloke to be doing things like this still during your retirement. Your level of fitness is amazing. Keep it up Pat. Can't believe I've got to wait another month for your next video though. Darn!! Stay safe mate. Glyn.

[@xvsupremacy7190]

Incredible , it makes my stomach flutter with butterflies 🦋, how on earth did he do that.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Glyn, hopefully doing all these adventures will keep me young.... all the best Pat 😊

[@hoveringdroppage7155]

Retirement...cheeky bugger, he's only 16. It's a tough life up north 🤣
Seriously, great entertainment keep it up ( pun intended)

[@barryconway]

Watched this yesterday (with a glass or two of beer), and 'Liked', but didn't know quite what to say - in fact, I was a little speechless. But ,now, with the benefit of a night's sleep:
Mr. Dickinson, you are an inspiration, sir. Well done, good job, and thank you for all the effort you put into filming and sharing your adventures. Truly and sincerely appreciated. Cheers!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Barry, a bit of a challenge this one, but that's what I like, great fun filming and getting the different angles, hope to be back up there soon, thanks Pat 👍

[@MrWrighty82]

When I watched this there were 14 thumbs down. What is wrong with you people? Are you the ones who never get your arses off the couch? Patrick just showed me something I would never have thought of doing, a new vision of what you can do. I felt as though I was up there with him (thankfully, without making any effort). Thank you very much Patrick. Well appreciated.

[@lukebloom9986]
