Folks, I’m loving the comments coming in - thank you so much. I obviously can’t reply personally to each message but I assure you that I am reading every one and taking notes! Many thanks - keep them coming!!
Love the comment i try and comment on each video like i did here. Your videos are epic and the time you put in is greatly appreciated also. I understan you on the subscriber thing i wish i could get more subscribers to my channel also Cheers
Hi Richard I’ve been watching your channel for over a year now. Always look forward to your vids. I watch Simon bloke in the woods and Kent survival and most of the other wild campers it’s a mystery to me why your not right up there you have a great sense of humour and you obviously love what you’re doing just keep doing it don’t change what you do just for more subs 😁😁😁👍
Richard, just continue with a bit of camping, a bit of cooking, a bit of trying out gadgets, a bit of craftsmanship, a bit of british landscape, a bit of mishaps 😂. I love it. Cheers from Holland, Henk.
That's the plan!
Me and the Mrs love your vids for the familiar format and that ‘if Richard can do it then why can’t I’ vibe. You don’t push the latest expensive gear, you don’t count every last gram and you don’t use camping out as an excuse to down ten cans of beer. That we like.
You are a virtual friend, pal, mate, who takes us on adventures with him and we thank you for that.
I really watch is because ur very humble and honest. When u laugh at u, I laugh with you, lol. Meaning I love the fact that u leave the bloopers right where they r, so much fun to watch. Give it time it will happen for u. Thanks for all u do in this weird world.
RICHARD! You don't have to ask what you can do to make things better you are such a nice man and your videos are always professional and entertaining. Don't worry what others tell you to do or how to do things be RICHARD, unique and different, you have listened to people already and your format has changed like the pre video intro which really isn't needed, personally I miss your humour that was always brilliant, but most of all be YOU, and be proud of what you do and don't worry what people say or you will loose heart.
Oh while we are discussing you lol, I for one am really interested in your career and your job and your background all of these things added to your channel would make you appeal to a wider audience. I hope that all makes sense.
Keep up the brilliant work.
Thanks
Adrian
I personally love your blooper reels at the end of some of your videos. No need to change much. We all love food prep in the woods. Maybe throw in your pets a little more. One thing I love about some UK wild campers are the history lessons mixed into some videos. Just a few thoughts, glad to see you back out. That's what's important! To good health...cheers
I enjoy all your videos. Your sense of humour, your comment, your filming and editing. Keep them coming!
That is such a great permission you have there. As for ideas for subscribers, I've noticed that a thumbnail with the CZcamsr is a skimpy swimsuit works pretty well. 🤔😉🙂👍
It makes you hungry just looking at you. Very great video, I'm looking forward to the next one.Greetings Tom from Austria!
I know you could never be lucky enough to catch Nessy twice, so I wanted to share some more practical thoughts. The camping videos I enjoy share a few elements. It starts with a host that is obviously enjoying himself. Then it's about pretty scenery, some kind of interesting and unique adventure, and it's nice to see a cozy camp setup.
Richard these videos are fantastic and I wouldn't change a thing! It shows a total modesty to even ask how to improve tbh
Hi Richard , I like the making things you’ve done like alcohol burners and the knife you made etc …… keep going like all you videos 😉👍🏻
I like the DIY projects and GAW that reach over seas. Because your public is world wide. Also i like you to promote the local businesses like that beer brewer and the guy that makes his own coffee brand. Also keep the easter eggs like Simons pictures popping up so now and then. I liked the one with the darts sticking in his face.
Greetings,, Kitty.
What a wonderful camp! Love that little spot you've got there, looks so peaceful, and the food looked spot on. Big fan of pork belly too. Have no idea how to grow the channel I'm afraid, I really enjoy the variety of content - the making, cooking, camping and the rest, and you come across as a genuine decent character. Right, that's my supply of being nice used up for today...
All the best, Pete.
Have to agree with the majority of comments made here already, I like to watch a variety of CZcamsrs because each one has something different to offer, this is why I like your videos, they are unique to you, you have plenty of variety thrown in, I found myself really enjoying your craft/making videos, in a nutshell keep doing what you're doing
I think admitting you and Simon, a bloke in the woods are related in some way will boost your ratings 😉 Just keep doing what you’re doing Richard. You’re a top bloke with great content and you really make me chuckle when things go a tad awry 😄 You’ll get there. A little Q&A wouldn’t go amiss. Tell us a little about how you learnt your skills (camping, cooking, flying) etc…
Richard, don’t change a thing! I’ve watched from the beginning and it really works for me✅
here are some suggestions for what they are worth:
a biking camping trip/overnighter/multi-day
private plane fly into a remote spot and bushcraft a couple days
a no talk just let the camera do the story overnighter (your photography skills are very good)
a simple survival skill video using only what you have made with limited food and one camera
a canoe trip by yourself or with someone - to piggyback on what you did and learned last year on the Scotland "raise awareness" trip you participated in - that was enjoyable to watch on everyone's channel
anyway hope those are some helpful ideas - thanks for the great photography I always enjoy seeing the journey and the surroundings of England
Good stuff!
All I'd suggest is keep changing up locations, camp set-ups, equipment used and your take on what works best for you. I just like immersing in the environment you create. It's escapism for me. Great stuff.
Hi Richard, I’ve been watching your videos for some time now and I have been a subscriber almost since you started your channel. Your videos have helped me through some bad times in my life and watching the passion you have for camping and your videos, has really shown me the simple joys of life and how much joy you get from the simple pleasures of life.
In regards to expanding, this will come with time. Please don’t change what you are doing as this is what I and I am sure, other love about your videos. They show camping for what it is, sometimes good, sometimes less then ideal. Your sense of humour makes me constantly laugh, especially when you show the little fails along the way. I still laugh at the time you almost fell into the lake when you caught a salmon.
Take care, be safe and keep on enjoying the outdoor life.
Thats is a spectacular spot you found there. Love the videos, nice to see you out and about. The videos are just too short, i want hours and hours 🤭
I really like your videos! Keep up the good work. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪!
Just carry on doing what your doing, I'd be interested in how your love of camping and making things came about and I'd enjoy seeing/learning about the things you make for your camping etc...I think Simon's mentioned you've made items for him over the years.
Overall I'm enjoying what I've seen so far and the filming is excellent......really great work....
Just keep being you, warts n all. There's many technically proficient outdoorsy folk out there on you tube. But none with your WYSIWYG personality. Like most folk, I watch quite a few outdoor channels, but your's is by far my favourite. Many thanks.
Hi Richard really enjoy you videos. I like that you talk about the gear you use. Your enthusiasm about your food. I wouldn't change anything. You deserve the 10k and more.
Hi Richard, I have been watching your vlogs for some time now - thank you so much for your effort which I hope hasn't gone unnoticed by other viewers.
Thanks Terry!
Hi Richard. Watched your channel from the start and I love it. You're someone I would go camping with. Genuinely nice bloke with a great sense of humour. Always look forward to your videos, and your sons music. Very calming. For me, KEEP doing what you're doing. Your hard work is very much appreciated. 👍👍
I was on the fence about subscribing until you managed to eat your food without me seeing the food in your mouth or hearing you slapping your chops. Very refreshing to not see or hear, unlike a lot of other youtubers. You know the correct etiquette when it comes to eating. You are true gent.
Outstanding Brother Richard, I Think the Pork Belly looked Awesome, Bone ln Ribeye is my first Choice and Pork Belly is a High second, I love every minute of your Reviews, I also always love your choices of Gear,I wouldn't change a Thing, your awesome Brother. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God Bless you 🙏 and your family and God Bless America 🇺🇸 and the World and God Bless all of the Great Veterans and First Responders 🙏 🇺🇸
Such gorgeous shots from above with lovely wondrous musical accompaniment!
You do have your own style of camping and that's probably why I watch and subscribe. It's not survival, not dramatic adventure, but it's quiet adventure...the kind I enjoy myself when camping out in the garden (which I do as often as possible.) Even in a village, sleeping out is a different kind of overnight experience. You are a good sport Richard, you gracefully accept what nature throws at you. I like it when you make things, love your cooking, especially the camp curry/just add water dish...and your dry sense of humor....all good!
could'nt have put it better myself...
keep it up richard!
It is always nice to enjoy your company on a cold camp while I am sitting in the comfort of my own home! My Adventure Pack came in the mail this week, I can't wait to try it out. It will be christened among the palm trees of California. Cheers Richard.
Richard this is your channel you should do what you do and don’t worry about anything else 👍👍👍
Hi Richard . Really liking your videos mate. I'm finding a lot of the 'bushcraft ' CZcamsrs these days seem to be concentrating on cooking vast quantities of meat which I am not against and that is not meant as a criticism but there is certainly a common thread there ! Your style and delivery is spot on and you are being you. Please keep em coming !
Richard I watch all of your videos so can’t really suggest anything to do differently - your style is quite unique and that’s what I like. What has been missing a little over recent months has been your quirky humorous segments - the nods to Simon or other funny things. More of those again please!
Hi Richard you make good videos just be your self and make it your way .
Hi Richard. I did enjoy this one. I’ve been watching you for a while now. I love the mix of ‘how to’, and little details about kit. A lot of your kit is out of my price range but it’s still good to learn about it. Personally I’m not a fan of night time time lapses of stars and moon. once you’ve seen a couple you’ve seen them all really. Just my opinion. There will be plenty who love them!! For me, just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s not always about the subs, unless you want to earn your living from this, which I’m pretty sure you don’t? Thanks for all the effort you put in to theses. Carry on doing what you do!! Thanks. Paul.
Stunning drone and music composition Richard 👍🏼👍🏼
Yea Rich just keep them coming really great video"s and good cooking thanks Richard
You have a beautiful camp spot there your videos are great I really enjoy them. Keep up the good work
Congratulations on 10k. Something you did is obviously working as I've found your channel and subscribed. 👍
I have the hex mini peak 11 my go to tent for bike packing and backpacking. No inner and fine although always miss midge sesaons! It has stood up to some awful weather.
The reason I I keep coming back to your channel is your laid back nature and personality as well as your ability to not take it too seriously. Keep doing what you enjoy and then your enjoyment and passion will come across. I'm not a great fan of the making stuff videos but then I'm sure others love them.
I find it difficult to give time to long videos. Bushman and Blue has started producing very long videos and I've pretty much given up on his channel because of that which is a shame. I think 20-30min is perfect unless it's a very special event.
I'd also advise to try and forget about the numbers and chasing subscribers. I see that happening with some channels and they're losing the reasons why they started in the first place.
Just keep creating and the numbers will come naturally 👍🙂
Thanks. Yes, I am determined to always be under 30 mins. If it means having to do a part 1 and a part 2 then so be it.
Richard, I am answering your request for a comment on video content vs increasing subscriptions. I would suggest that as much as possible always include as much of the journey as possible with the camping part of the video. The adventure videos are always the most interesting when you have a vision of what you believe you are going to enjoy and you take us on that journey. You are always fun to watch but your best videos are the journeys. Tony Dowler
Well Richard here’s my Pennyworth for what it’s worth; I came over to your channel from Simon bloke in the woods! And I’ve been very pleasantly ‘surprised’, not only wild camping, Drone footage, but all sorts of wonderful things! Designing a fire trough and mini too making it and marketing it as well, not to speak of your instructive videos of making stuff as well as topping it all off with some Michelin cookery too! Not even to speak about your profession of as Pilot and all that goes with that too! In other words a very broad cross section of outdoor life and all that goes with it! I’ll never tire of your channel I can assure you! Keep going on doing what you’re doing as far as I’m concerned! Good luck with your Subs! ⛺️🎮🛸🦉🍷👣👍😎
Nice video Rich. What I like about your videos is the honesty. I like how raw they are, you don’t hide mistakes, you clearly love doing it and I like the honest approach. Some successful channels are very much fake to gain views or sell out to companies for advertising and free gifts. I bet you are exactly the same in person as you come across in your videos.
Do you have a link to the groundsheet? Seen you and Simon use and looks a nice strong one and not huge on space when packed
Hi. Thanks for the kind words. It’s from Military Mart (UK). German Army groundsheet.
@@RichardOutdoors thanks. Looks tough wearing so I will get one
Wow i love your comment i am new to producing videos i figured i am.out there anyway why not record it and ahow people what i am doing and love to do and get people.interested in getting outside and towatch richard is awesome i love his humor and what he does it amazing and refreshing.
As you know mate I'm one of your biggest fans and love the channel with everything you do from the overnighters the cooking and making knife handles and other things you've made. I have a couple of ideas for more viewers... The best way would be to have a joint camp with another Utuber like you've done in the past that way your getting on their channel free advertising if you like but works both ways. Another idea how about a live Q & A session but I don't know how hard that is but I think it would be very interesting. Keep it up fella you enjoy what you do 10k will come eventually 👍😁👍
To start, I must say that your videos are enjoyable to watch and interesting. There’s an awful lot of people climbing a hill, camping overnight and then going home. I’ve lost interest in that style of video. Yours are different enough to hold my attention. Based on that thought, the first suggestion is trips of more than one night - when you can! Making things and cooking can also be the beginning of an interesting video but watching bushcrafters prepare firewood has lost all appeal. I enjoyed the videos of your stop over and could handle more of those. Retrieving crashed drones is also entertaining.
Hi Richard, reluctant suggestion is in here, but my wife and I both really enjoy your honest videos, showing when a tent is difficult to set up, or burning your mouth on a fresh cuppa. We love the humour and the informative nature of your videos, and your enthusiasm, and drive to tackle the canoeing challenge. Thinking about what else you could add, we think your videos are great as they are but could I suggest (as we would like to hear more) that as well as listing all the great items you use at the end of your videos, you maybe select one or two during the videos and 'rate' them, not like out of 10 but like the stand for roasting the meat, a wee mention of where you got it (which you did) and then how versatile it is, it'll take a pan, you can toast bread.....so on. I know we can see how good it is, but it helps viewers see your enthusiasm for stuff you recommend us to use, without obvious product placement. You might want to try that, but we think your videos are entertaining and we sit and watch You, Andy (KS) and Simon (a BITWs) every week. When your video isn't there we really miss it. Same with the other 2.
Most important, its your video, don't stop enjoying what you do
Looks to me like most people are saying the same thing. No need to change.
I have no suggestions to improve on what I already enjoy. Keep doing what you are doing. It is A-OK with me.
Good to see you out and about Richard, and more importanter.....PROPER SIZED COOKING PORTIONS ARE BACK :-)
Yes they are!
Hi Richard. I bought your mini trough t'other week and am gloating about it. It's bigger than I thought it would be, but not complaining!! Haven't actually got it dirty yet, mind you, but can't wait to try it. Gathering sticks, I am. About you subscriber numbers. I watch for your lovely humour. The format of camp, fire and cook, by default is inevitably repetitious. The trip to the tarn was delightful for the scenery, and you being more 'on the edge' was an attraction. I think adventurousness combined with humour rather than focussing on kit might be a way to go. Show off the Penines to its best, perhaps. But what do I know, I wouldn't even manage what you do. its taken me all winter to make decisions about what should go in my EDC pouch!!
People write a lot of nice things in the comments and they are all true. Your work is brilliant. Some of my favorite channels, except from yours of course, are Nagualero (rest in peace), "archnemesis" Simon, a bloke in the woods, WildGreen Johanna and newbie Jem Outdoors. I'm all about the journey. Parking your car, walking 500m, put up a tent and cook is not enough. Anybody can do that. Look at some of the most viewed videos from Nagualero. The solitude in combination with bad weather is a hit. You should put "wildcamping in snowstorm" in the videodescription of all your videos. Your "Great Glen Canoe Challenge" videos are my favorites. For me it's all about the journey, experiences, ups and downs, unfiltered and sensire.
Hello Richard, Another great video. Your permission there is a stunning location. Brilliant drone footage. Personally I like all your content, you have a broad range of interests and skills. Carry on your good work. Cheers
Wow That's really cool and interesting vidz my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come. You got my attention and having a great natural passion on making vidz that's makes everybody to be inspired. Keep up the good work my friend. Stay safe and healthy always. More Blessings to you and your family my friend.
It's probably just a combo of titles and thumbnails. I love your videos the way they are honestly. Beautifully filmed with great views and music. Longer videos are always nice, but sometimes the short ones are nice too. I've been following you since a little before you and Simon went on the Canoe trip and ate 5KG of Pork Belly! Maybe try some more collaborations with Simon? And a first with Andy? I know schedules are a pain but it might help. You can always come to Canada and join me on my 22 day trip to the Middle of nowhere. That would make great film.
Richard, i'm a relatively new subscriber, and love the wild camp videos best! Very natural in front of camera, and thoroughly enjoying the channel. Keep going!
Great stuff, Richard! Just started watching your vids, and find them rather charming - admittedly the ones with your black and white spanner particularly tickle us. Keep up the good work 👍
Richard Allways great videos keep them comeing ps love your DIY/ home made camp gear thanks
I really like this atmosphere.
Gorgeous spot! Loved your little table.
Richard, there are so many aspects of your channel that I like. You, however, are the main draw. You are like an engineer poet fabricator trail boss. It is just dang good to be with you.
Ok, Craig said it best lol. Well done. Succinct always works best.
I love to find your videos and usually drop everything to watch! You always bring a smile, you're real in the sense that even "screw ups" are included and handled with humor. The inclusion of drone footage is always welcomed. And your cooking looks delish! Hard to know what to suggest except perhaps more venues - wild camping - partnering with the Bloke in the Woods (or canoe) Simon. Maybe your channel is simply hard to find? Don't understand all the algorithms involved. But all the hard work is paying off in lovely high quality videos with varied content...and OMG! Thanks for being such a decent person, and yes! We stand with Ukraine! Looking forward to the magical 10,000!
Richard, your videos are always well done, entertaining, and helpful as well. Not sure how you could improve, but more videos are always a good thing! Love the cooking bits, especially new ideas I can try at camp. Collaboration videos can also be entertaining as well. Thanks for sharing your videos, appreciate the work that goes in to them! 😊
Well, Julie's suggestion is maybe an occasional visit from your dog, particularly when there's been an "Incident with the dog in the camp time", such as your reflective heat guard alluded to today. Your food always looks a treat, the occasional oddball you throw in appeals so we don't know what else to suggest!
Keep it up though.
It’s all about location for me,I would like to see a bit more of the Yorkshire dates camp spots , it’s a big place and it’s on your doorstep, keep exploring and I’ll keep watching. Happy camping 🏕
Ok here goes: your USP (apart from being a very personable bloke) is your military background and your flying skills. I think that is an area that could be utilised. Also you have serious skill sets ( like Simon, tall bloke in the Woods 😉) in making stuff, and that could always be a good ‘series of series’ demonstrating leatherwork, sewing lessons ( a massively needed skill), repairs etc., Keep up the good work and great vids - looking forwards to seeing you hit the 10k mark and beyond.
Mouth-wateringly good again Rich… that pork had me salivating
HI Richard. Are you up for a CHALLENGE? I only eat plant based food, how well do you think you would handle a meat free cookout as a one-off?
Could you manage a plastic free wild camp? What items could you manage without and make on site with your ace knife you made? What meals can you prepare by including some foraged ingredients? What else can you make?
I love your channel, and the funnies you include are the best. I don’t think you need to change anything really, the biggest draw for me to a camping channel is to see what YOU guys love to do, and the enthusiasm, and genuine enjoyment evident in your videos. Good to see you out there camping again, wishing you health and happiness.
Thank you - yes to the plastic but I'm afraid I am a bit of a carnivore!!
Fair do’s :). I’m in that peculiar and contradictory category of vegan bushcraftery lol. I do like wool as a plastic alternative,so no chance of me being completely vegan.
Wouldn't change anything you do a great job!
Hi Richard, I love all your videos and can't understand why more people aren't subscribing, maybe try more collaborations? That belly pork looked scrumptious, I love belly pork but rarely have it, my hubby always cuts off and discards all the fat lol 🤣. Keep up the good work 😊👍.
I love your make it your self video's and the rest but them most of all
Your vids are always varied and interesting keep it going viewers will sone catch on
Hello Richard I’m just back from the Cairngorms and used my new Fire Trough and it is fantastic many thanks and I love your videos🏴😁
Great to hear!
Rich…….love the level test re pan and oil…..never thought of that…..cheers.
Also love your time lapses
What a spot you got there thanks for the video
I appreciate all your video's Richard! I personally like when you're on wild camps. Maybe try and make equipment in the woods. Maybe how to maintain your tools in the field. And of course cooking is always a plus. Two of my favorites were the duck breast and deer.
Be careful and always stay safe Richard🙂
The reason I watch your videos is because you come across as a genuine guy.... I followed you after the canoe camp with Simon, just keep plugging on the way you are!
Always enjoy all your videos.
I mainly watch Paul Messner, Andy from Kent Survival, Simon Bloke and also the English Woodsman and his mate Oscar.
Think more meet ups is the best way to grab more subscribers, especially with Simon as you both seem 2 peas in a pod.
Only recently found the Wiltshire Man due to Paul Messner, never came across him even though I'm also a biker, like photography and most camping videos. The infamous CZcams algorithm missed him for some time for me...
Keep up the good work !!
I want this food … now !
It’s not much help, but I can’t see how your content can be improved, it’s varied and interesting. I enjoy I all.
Forgot to say food looked really good and tasty 👍👍
More of the same Richard. Missed you when you were unwell. Keep the videos coming and you’ll soon get to and over 10,000 subscribers. Maybe a chef’s hat when you’re cooking😁🤣
Good video. On that tent there appears to be a large gap between fly sheet and ground especially if it windy or winter. Like that breakfast.
You have a super channel and great content and you come over as a great guy. Your content is better and more varied than loads of other Tubers. Maybe part of the problem is you don't shine in a single video? Maybe it's that fickle CZcams algorithm you hear about? Maybe we loyal viewers ought to hit the like button more? It's no use asking us viewers because we already love it!
Watch some of your real early videos because there definitely was a spark that maybe you have matured out off. Then again if you try to manufacture something that is natural that could be a big mistake. Your natural now.
All I can say is don't let the unfairness of CZcams spoil the enjoyment of what you do, as long as you want to do it. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Richard. Great video. Inspiring food to cook again. What I particularly like about your videos are the talking heads - it comes across that you are talking to an audience of one not close on 10k. Plus the little mishaps aren't hidden, they are included which adds to the honesty and fun factor. Good stuff all round - you will reach the 10k subscribers very soon. Meanwhile I will keep using your ideas to help on how to improve my own channel. Best wishes.
One new subscriber :)
Liked the vid, particularly the timelapse - that was a nice touch. Been watching Simon for years, who I found out about Andy from KS, and now you! I saw your colabs with Simon, and the stove you made.
Keep up the good work. As long as the subscibers are going in the right direction it's all good!
Hi Richard, I think you are doing great already. I personally like the idea of Canoe/Kayak camping (which I know you are already planning). There is something quite ‘magical’ about being near or on the water. What about a cycle camp? Stay safe.
Nice video and a lovely permissive site with the gentle trickle of water.
As for subs, I'm definitely not the the person to give advice 😂
All the best, Paul
Hi Richard your videos are great . One you did on the stoves .I really like oldgeorge from California USA
I watch most of you videos, not so much the make it or reviews but all of the camping ones. I enjoy watching you doing what you love doing and the enjoyment you receive from your experience and of course the food you prepare. There are a lot of people making camping and bushcraft videos, some have a specific purpose to their videos and channel, others film what they enjoy doing, both make the considerable effort to share their experiences. Some have given up because they turned a hobby into a job and no longer enjoyed the filming and editing for the sacrifice of living the experience they were having. My advice is to do what you love to do, if you choose to share it then thank you. The truth of how you feel about what you are doing is visible and when you are enjoying yourself, as a viewer, I am able to enjoy along with you. Thanks and kind regards Luke.
Hi Richard, really like to watch most of the films you make. Positives are the humour, especially in the earlier ones with the hand in the fridge and photo of Simon in the woods etc. Films are well shot and generally good camera work (you always point out the bad shots!). Why I don't think you are getting more subscribers is not enough outdoors ( its the channel name) and not enough locations. Even the other tubers who use the same location try and make it look different i.e. Kent survival. Have 2 channels, one for the making outdoor equipment, reviews and the main one for the camps or walks. Have been watching a lot of hidden valley bush craft and he always uses his experience as a Royal Marine as a bit of an added story line. As Ex RAF, why not talk about some survival skill you learnt as a pilot and use this in the titles to promote the films. Keep going as I believe you can be a success (you have 9.5k subscribers and I don't even have a channel yet!), you have good presentation skills and are always entertaining . Hope this helps in some small way.
For my money you're the best on CZcams Richard, good variety and interesting videos that are well produced. All I can say is more please 😂😂
I like what you do and the way you do it. If there was one thing I’d like more of, if possible (and i know security might impinge on this) a bit more of your flying would be interesting. But you’ve got a good mix, with outdoors, gear testing, and DIY projects of all sorts with modest tool requirements. I hope you hit that ‘magic’ 10,000 soon. Les
Hi Richard, I do enjoy your videos and frankly getting to almost 10 K subscribers is actually quite an accomplishment and something that you should be proud of; with time and patience I can see you grow to 50 K subs or more. Now, if you you seriously want to accelerate this, there are several avenues that have that potential: (1) Collaboration - Group camps and the associated camaraderie, (2) The female element, wife or partner camping, (3) Stealth camping - Tesco rooftop etc, (4) Product promotion. Whatever you choose, I wish you well!
Hiya Richard. First time I've watched your vlog. Enjoyed and subscribed. Glad you got the hexpeak. I've had one for over a year. It's my favourite tent. I have 3 luxury items in my pack. Mt tent. My vango lightweight comfy chair and my cook system with frying pan. Soon I will be starting my biggest challenge off my life. Hiking 150 miles at 10 miles a day with a 15kilo pack on the Saint James pilgrimage route in France. I was delighted to watch your vid. Its given me fresh ideas on food. Cheers. I shall now follow you very close
That’s great. Thanks Charles!
