      Hear hear, good work great content, hatf work gives good results hope your enjoying and thriving in this (not stuck behind a desk like the restnof us mugs ;) )
      After a time When the sponsor donations mount up and you've done your review videos etc for the sponsor maybe (if you haven't already) you could start subscriber competition / giveaways (very common with gaming channels) or even after creating your own murch store (hint hint - identify somewhity phrases to coin in your videos to sunarise u, ur channel and life ) you could even sell then donate to specific charities you respect instead

    Attempted Beacons Way last week... after experiencing the heat and the weight I had I wished so much I seen your videos before!
    Got 2 days in a had to pack up as the weather was unbearable and I couldn't carry enough water to hydrate myself. But I also put that down to carrying too much weight. Looking forward to seeing future videos! Definitely taking advice about what not to take

      A mountain bike with saddle packs can carry your load. It also gets you about quicker. Trekking too much causes blisters and potential sprains. Liam bought bike in his last vid. Just remember to bring spare inner tube, chain, puncture and tool kit.

    Walked Offa’s Dyke heading towards Monmouth,as a younger man, then walked back along the path halfway heading through clun, taking in Ludlow, Much Wenlock and Back to Bridgnorth where I had a caravan, stayed there another week to recover, in all I took my time and it took me just under 4 weeks to get back home, as I was on my 2 weeks summer holiday, I went to work the Monday following my 4 weeks away, the boss asked me where I had been and I said I had had a bad bout of flu, so he then told me I was sacked, he called me a liar and a cheat ( I was paid if I was away sick ), he said he had been watching the local news on tv a few days before and spotted me coming out of a butchers in Bridgnorth with some meat, it was in the days when there where plenty of work about and I started a new job a week or so later, such was the draw for the great outdoors it took precedence over work

    Hi liam, So the microfiber cloths are plastic, I'd recommend getting a 100% cotton flannel or another natural absorbant material, and also try and wear a natural base layer, and synthetics on top. Chocolate chips are nice in porridge. Good stuff. 👍

      @Reasons Voice Osprey do a budget pack, the Rook (or Renn for female one) you can pick it up for £90 if you shop around, still not cheap but more affordable than Atom Packs and it's a cracking backpack! Not got all the bells and whistles but it's really comfy, strong, durable, and available in 50 or 65l.
      I also really rate Sierra Designs Flex Capacitor, it's a little bit more expensive (if it isn't on sale) I got the 40/60L one (my sister needed a backpack for a school trip so I have her my old Renn), it expands and contracts so ideal for summer/winter trips where you need different kit!
