2years . Thanks for hanging in there and not bowing down under the pressure you’ve experienced in the past. You are more of an inspiration to me than you’d imagine

Outdoor boys are unreal, Luke needs more recognition from us UK camping fanatics

34:31 when it comes to drinking from natural sources of water it seems like the risk/reward equation for unfiltered drinking water of this water of unknown safety seems pretty straightforward: save yourself a couple of ounces and a few minutes and you will run a risk moderate to serious gastrointestinal illness (whether the risk is 1 in 10 or 1 in 10,000 or 1 in 1,000,000) or take a few extra minutes to use a filter that weights an ounce or two and reduce your risk that is so close to 0 it might as well be a 100% chance that you will never get any waterborne illness.

Time flies when you are having fun. Here’s to the next two years 🙏🇬🇧

Wow, I can hardly believe it’s been two years already. Thanks for sticking with it. Just going from being an employee to being self employed is a huge leap, never mind the challenge and vagaries of YouTube. Congratulations, and thank you.

I've got the gamme 8 pc from nortent which is made from the same material. If you can deal with the weight the material is superior to anything else that I have seen on tents.Its cool on summer, breathes well, no condensation etc.

This comment comes late... BUT ... i have the 6 Gamme PC ,... omg the sheer delight to pulk, set up and be sheltered from the winter blow.... I LOVE IT ,,, to see a mini version of that is so interesting, but i couldn't shrink down.. i've been hefty spoiled!

Why do I get so excited when the king of camping uploads a new video? Even my husband chucks me the headphones to listen in blissful quiet comfort 😂 he’s a keeper 🙌🏻 lovely tent and another of my favourite spots, no idea where I get my inspiration from. Congratulations Paul, wishing you continued health, happiness and success, BW, Sarah

Barefoot boots - LOVE them. I use the Vivobarefoot ones and am now trying some from Freet. The Freet seem more robust. Have been wearing barefoot shoes for over ten years now, its done wonders for my feet and back. Some people think they get added protection from a more solid boot, but I find that I'm so much more sure-footed when I can feel the ground shape underneath me.
Congratulations on the two years, and truly love your channels. Its like bringing a little bit of fresh air indoors.

Should use the crazy creek chair inside the tent I’m sure you will love it

@revol113 2 years ago

Great video Paul. You and Outdoor Boys are the two channels that I can swap between watching new and old videos and lose an evening!

Reminds me of the canvas frame tent my mum and dad used to take us camping round England in back in the day . Only modernised. The old tent we had , had a million poles and weighed about the same as a small car lol

Thanks to you Paul. I pulled the trigger on this tent. Absolutely loving the polycotton fabric. The quality of this tent is amazing.

@elanapeterson3665 2 years ago

I loved the tip on using your inflatable pillows to make a space inside your backpack for your tent! I appreciate the tips you give to us newbies on how to make camping more pleasant and successful! Congrats on your 2-year anniversary of being a full-time YouTuber! You encourage so many of us to get up off our couches and get outdoors! Thank you!

Went camping by myself last week for the first time
Thanks for your videos for entertainment and encouragement

Zero drops are not for everyone and as such need to be given time for your body to make some adjustments. Specifically, if you have never worn zero drop shoes, trail runners or boots, your achilles needs to stretch out in order to accommodate the new lack of elevation from the heel stack. Love your channel!

Oh yes, the outdoor boys. His snow shelters are amazing.

Wow. Time really marches on. I still remember you quitting your job and going full time on YT. Don't catch as much as I'd like to anymore, life is chaos, but glad you're still moving forward with it and able to do this. Well done.
