Man had a baked bean Wrap

[@JakesJourneyMate]

[@TheBurningShadowBR]

That was actually a wrapped baked bean wrap lol

[@MrMattUK202]

Thanks for the insight. Your place gives a very cosy vibe. A good space too

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Thanks so much! 🙏

[@Loveshisbrews]

Jake I love the bunk bed, that's an awesome idea to have in the block! Your accommodation looks decent

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Cheers cuz! ‘So much room for activities!’ 😂

[@Thelifestyleroom471]

Highly accurate, just some bloke in clip at the end of the month, dying a death from a hangover, making a baked bean sandwich cause he’s skint. Pretty standard month

[@davidmorris1735]

😂 day in the life of a crap hat

[@dontworrybehappy5139]

Nice ink mate! Would be cool to hear some of the history behind some of it. Hope you are having a good week!

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Thank you! Ya know what! I’ll do that at some point! thanks 🤙

[@UK_Sgt_7094]

for me when I was in the UK (in my later service) a Sunday was spent traveling back to camp and getting my gear ironed for the next day! As a young lad it was spent on the piss and trying not to be hung over on the Monday morning parade! lol

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Haha sounds about right mate!

[@billywhizz1656]

that beats hands down the rooms at my old base at Caterham, good job you don't get 2 year deployments, that would be a pain to pack up

[@alphaesan4978]

its 21/06/2022 and petrol and diesel price is about £20/liter.

[@JakesJourneyMate]

I know Stu! 😂 I have been trying out almond milk, it’s not great in a brew! 😂

[@DerbyRambles]

Another great video. What area are you living in where the fuel prices are that high, mate? That's a good 15p a litre higher than here in Derby at the moment. Crazy money!

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Thank you so much! Wiltshire mate! Through the roof atm! Seems to have been the same where ever I’ve ventured too recently! Weird!

From a 50 year old veteran.... Is that a room in the singlies block? Times have changed massively and all for the better by the look of it!

[@JakesJourneyMate]

[@livinginthelight333]

My ex was a Royal Engineer and I'd go on base to visit him ocasionally if he couldn't or didn't want to drive home. We'd share a sing;e bed and just watch movies in his room or go away for a couple nights. I liked the base but he made sure I didn't meet anyone else if he could help it. Not sure why.

[@keanuvarga4866]

Gay?

[@livinginthelight333]

@@keanuvarga4866 I dont think so

[@RossNaylor-uq4jp]

Your ex didn't want people seeing you because as a civilian your not meant to be on the camp unless you have been cleared by the guard commander or provo sargeant or you work on the camp. I always knew the guard shift Rota so I could persuade a mate to let the barmaid who usually dropped me off after a night out through the gate and that's probably how your ex used to get you on camp too I would have thought that kind of stuff wouldn't be able to happen these days with the security risk but I suppose where there's a will there's a way 😂

[@livinginthelight333]

@@RossNaylor-uq4jp I don't think that was the case. I had to go into an office , sign a book and get my pic taken for a a pass card ID stating how long I was going to be there etc.

[@Ron-u1z]

Because your not allowed in barracks. Also he didn't want any of his other service birds, seeing you.

[@gtd65]

A very different style of accommodation, to my era 80's/90's. If I wasn't waking up in some foreign lass's bed, following a good night out, I'd be round the cook house for steak and eggs brunch.

[@JakesJourneyMate]

bro the petrol prices are crazy now 💀

[@LawrenceCrpz]

I was expecting a vanlife daily ritual but then I realized you are not living in a van full time 😅. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed watching this lazy Sunday vid. I think I need to get that ironing table cover as I easily get frustrated whenever I can‘t get all the creases off of my clothes 😂🤭

[@JakesJourneyMate]

It’s on the Horizon I’m leaving for good reason 😉 Ngl the ironing board is buggered! 😂 it’s got sentimental value though as I’ve had it since training haha

[@LawrenceCrpz]

Lol. Send that cover my way if ever you wanna dispose it mate 😅. I’m so stoked for whatever you gonna do after you leave the service. I have a feeling we gonna see more of a vanlife and adventures on your channel.

[@veblen674]

Hi Jake So no regimental cookhouses anymore? Do all "living in" guys cook their own food nowadays? Who cleans the shared kitchen😄😄??

[@JakesJourneyMate]

No there’s still a cook house, most just preferred to cook in the block as the food is dire there haha! Block jobs Ayit haha 🤙

[@OldhamSteve52]

I am ex forces 63. Single guys on camp complained about paying food 7 days a week when some went home. Typical forces Army and RAF changed to pay as you dine. Instead of paying £3 a day for 3 good hot meals you pay 50p for breakfast cereal. Starve to save.

[@veblen674]
