I've ordered mine and it's arriving tomorrow. Great service!

[@mandysmith7619]

Those Ducklings..😍 "your our mum now" attitude😂 adorable. Such a beautiful place, so peaceful

[@iMcWatch]

At least the tourist group didn’t see you without your hat 😂

[@UnWindDaily2]

I just love how down to earth you are and how much you enjoy your out doors time camping great music too thank you for sharing your time with all of your viewers ❤your meals are amazing too 👍☺

[@Jayling]

I have to admit, my favorite part of this was Louise transforming into Mama Ducky! That was so adorable. Poor real mama couldn't keep up with her young'uns and they latched onto Louise - precious & hilarious! Thanks for taking us along, Louise, and a big hello to Emily when ya get home & Joanie also. Skirtches to AJ & Summer too. :)

[@campervibe]

I know they were super cute

[@whiteeulogianraven7995]

"And here we can see a Louise on her natural habitat, being completely unaware of civilization and becoming one with nature, her ability to cast a spell on birds is almost mythical, not as strong as showing her... thoughts to people". SOLD OUT TOUR.

[@campervibe]

She loves it 😂

[@someoneelse7629]

Lou is out there pulling birds and mooning tourits. Living her best life basicly. As a Swede, I am amazed how organized the camping is, here you just walk anywhere and pitch your tent for a few nights, no matter who owns the land, but don't forget the thermacell....

[@campervibe]

I know, it’s very different over here that’s for sure

[@debbielong7943]

You should be on the TV. So informative and enthusiastic. Love your camping trips.

[@moneyprofessional]

Yeah I’ve thought that for ages. Lou could be a presenter, camerawomen, director or producer on TV as she does all these at tv level already.

[@campervibe]

Too kind, thank you

[@NicW76]

Gorgeous wildlife photography! 🥰 I couldn't decide what was cutest though, Mrs Peahen with her brood, the squirrels or the baby ducks deciding to adopt you. 😍 Basically an entire video of cuteness animal overload and an unexpected moment of overexposure for the tourists. 😂

[@campervibe]

All of it right 😂

[@janecox4173]

It my dad funeral tomorrow and this just what I needed to relax me. Loved it.. skomer next xx

[@campervibe]

Hope it goes as well as it can Jane

[@pauljohnson2430]

Top quality photographer, Top quality presenter, far better than many on T.V. main channels. Thank-you for taking us with you on your trip.

[@mrswelsh2467]

Never a disappointment! Even the parking up in the harbour car park the effort in the camera shots, never fails to amaze us. Creative genius Lou 🙌🏼 ALWAYS entertaining ALWAYS interesting We look forward to Sundays just to watch you guys, whatever it is you’ve been up to ❤ Amy Paul & Ted 🐾

[@moneyprofessional]

Wow, I went back and watched that again and indeed how many different shots Lou must have set up by herself, in a rush, with all that luggage for 10 seconds, that most people wont even realize the effort to frame. Definitely going to extra mile to produce professional videos.

[@mrswelsh2467]

@@moneyprofessional ah that’s pretty cool that you went back and checked out the bit I was talking about ☺️ I couldn’t agree more with you, the magic is that most people don’t notice and I suppose that’s what is intended, comfortable but immersive viewing. 100% effort in every video and that’s why they deserve their success. Thank you for commenting on my comment, has made me smile.

[@campervibe]

Thanks guys really nice of you to notice

[@ladyfaith9347]

Colonel Waugh and his wife started a pottery on Brownsea in 1852. They had visited the island before buying it and believed the clay they found would be suitable for porcelain, to make them a fortune. They were backed by geologists and banks, and borrowed money to create the Brownsea Clay and Pottery Company.

[@campervibe]

That’s awesome

[@w0033944]

Hence the beach.

[@746laurie]

If memory serves me correctly there was also a short narrow gauge railway possibly with some remnants still to be seen which transported the clay from the pit to the pottery.

[@dirtydog2312]

Unfortunately the clay wasn’t good enough for porcelain so they made drainpipes and chimney pots instead

[@olliemilburn4842]

Finally.someone who takes the time to tie the guide lines for tent properly when packing up. Great vid looks like you were in your element.

[@sweetpeainfrance6729]

I love this approach to learn about new places. Of course you were not wild, wild camping but to safely see wildlife accustomed to public whilst carrying expensive equipment is probably inviting for many people. I admit being a little bored after about 3 years of watching Van daily life of what they ingest, digest and evacuate! I am interested in how people travel and places that would be accessible for me at this age! I can see that KZbinr Vanlifers (property owners- most of them) have to up their game, round the changes etc. YOu have made that your work and other work to earn your income. I appreciate the joy given to people like me, who cannot afford to be a patreon of any KZbinr, not on my pension, SO THANK YOU. However, for a single woman, your Mum's age, for my own mentality I have to get out of my dark French house which I admit is a bonus in this heat but brings on major depression in the winter months or even summer if it is too hot to be in the sunshine and shade. Just returned from a 5 day trip including journey days to La Rochelle, and a fave 'sort of secret and wild now' parking at Ile de Ré. I explored your parking suggestions for parking on the coastline with an amazing place where I finished my birthday trip with the freshest quality in size and taste best 'moules marinières' of my life, EVER! No shade so I wouldnt wish to stay there for long! The fun of the one I ate out was interesting to find as a Kangoo van but a larger vehicle would have found access almost impossible ... which suits me to be away from camper van sardines! It's good to do one's own research...part of the fun of exploring..however, challenge of finding a suitable power bank suitable for my temporary van situation and budget is difficult for a non techie person. The hand held portable phone charger runs out as quickly as the iphone! A french man told me to buy a solar panel and he said he didn't have a leisure battery! Anyway... I enjoy your changes of content but have missed a week of vloggers! Looking fwd to why you've had to decamp so fast!

[@paulrixon1644]

Thanks Lou. Just caught you this morning. Great video as always. I was beginning to think you had forgotten us fans when i couldn’t find you yesterday! XX

[@campervibe]

No we are here 😀

[@wanderlust4465]

Another enjoyable camp video. Your editing skills have to be amongst the best of all KZbin Vloggers.

[@campervibe]

Thank you

[@PhilipWalker-no1jb]

Loved the video and enjoy both your travels Being disabled it’s lovely to go with you Stay safe 👍🇬🇧

[@lisakinahan6105]

Always wanted to camp on Brownsea. Being a scout leader . We brought our group for a visit last year and added our sign. It's great to see it's still there . Great video. Definitely going to camp there now. Top of my list of things to do

[@tanya334]

You became leader of the Duck Troop 😂 Awesome trip !! Stay Safe ❤️🤍💙

[@Lostmissionary]

Louise. Thank you for all the joy you bring into all your videos. You do a really great job in giving us all a lot of pleasure.

[@campervibe]

Glad you enjoy them 😀

[@ColinSlocombe]

Sounds really nice and beautiful to hear only the sea and birds in the morning instead of traffic

[@denniston4249]

Stuck with my broken down truck in Valence France, it was a pleasure to watch your video. Although it is not on our list, the UK might be worth visiting with our van. Greetings from the Netherlands, Dennis and Angéla.

[@campervibe]

Hope the truck is ok and you of course

[@contactsuzi7096]

This was hilarious! Now everybody knows to wear blue shoes to attract ducks and to drop your drawers for the tourist group and you can say you've been camping with Louise! xo Suzi

[@campervibe]

😂😂

[@kathifoynm]

Beautiful video, Louise. Thanks so much. Female peahens don’t have brilliant feathers, those belong to the peacock. The mama peahen with her peachicks has brown tail feathers. We have some pea families around us and they are noisy birds. I thoroughly enjoy your wildlife photography. Thanks for hauling your gear for us! Hi Emily😊

[@campervibe]

Oh yeah so noisy right

[@eastbelfastno1]

You are the coolest camper iv found on KZbin. So laid back etc. especially bcos you are also a wildlife photographer!

[@lucyj7688]

You are amazing, determined, strong/willed, intelligent & very courageous to be going off camping by yourself on an island 🏝 virtually by yourself. Well done!!! 🏳️‍🌈

[@merv690]

well I am in ore of the standard of these videos, If you had had a film crew with you i doubt it could have been bettered, the work involved as I have said many times must be incredible, It is as if you had a dozen cameras simply brilliant and congratulations

[@campervibe]

Thank you

[@LaPOLEA]

Its gorgeous little place, and all the nature so lovely, loved the female peacock bringing her babies to see you and the little ducklings begging for your attention . I was thinking was it where they filmed Swallow's and Amazon's or the writer got inspired by the place .

[@tinaeldridge3802]

Brilliant video Louise. I aughed out loud at the mooning during the day, visitors don't normally experience 2 moons in one day. The wildlife shots were amazing ,but my favourite were the ducklings, sooo cute.I was lucky enough to visit Brownsea Island as a classroom helper with about 25 little munchkins. I was knackered when I got home, but it is a very beautiul and special place and definitely worth the visit. Thanks for the laughs. Hugs Wiltshire

[@michaelhesford4587]

Thank you so much, so many bloggers have either gone stale or gone commercial. You are still as fresh as ever and with wonderful videos . I don’t have a campervan, I am an old age caravaner and a bit set in my ways but I wait for your vlogs coming out and enjoy every one😊

[@campervibe]

Thanks, glad you still enjoy the vids

[@gillbarrett2852]

Amazing shots and compositions, all the more impressive as you were on your own. I really look forward to your Sunday videos, they are just the best whatever you're doing.

[@campervibe]

Thank you

[@douglasnewlands47]

Cracking video Louise and thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more of the same and more of your usual family trips 😄

[@pamelarw58]

Little ducks loved you!!! ❤ Great to see you off on Solo Nature camping Lou …. lots of animals & tranquility!! 💜😎🇦🇺🍻

[@AnnetteCarolanFourie]

That is really lovely to experience the wild life around you that peacock and little ones soo cute

[@BusyElf]

As a retired (?) backpacker, I thoroughly enjoyed your camping trip and the camping area tour. All Mod cons though which kinda defeats the object of the excersise for me. However I reckon the others on the ferry would appreciate a NON-Smelly camper travelling back with them. A great video and glimpse into the area and the wildlife of the island. Thanks for sharing this Louise.

[@GrahamHazlehurst]

Another brilliant video, thanks for showing us the island , really impressed with your editing skills, your videos are so professional a joy to watch.

[@Tiredtowel101]

Over this video! Another brilliant shot and compiled film, my eyes and brain just lap it up! Well done and thank-you!! 🎉

[@reg5712]

Hi Emily, this weeks vid was particularly interesting - Brownsea Island is 20 minutes up the road from us…..and we’ve never been! Looks like we’re going to have to go now. Well, your missus does some brave things on her own and I don’t mean mooning at tourists or being seen without her hat….she works hard on those films. Hope you, Joanie, AJ and Summer are well and we look forward to the next one. Stay safe girls, regards Reg.

[@sjfno1]

Ah, those magnificent ear tufts - the squirrels, not you, Lou! A lovely video, thank you.

[@campervibe]

😂

[@volkerbauer1974]

Another graet flog. Of course we all love the banter and joking between the two of you, which makes solo-adventures that bit harder to pull off. Louise however nailed on this one, as her love for animals in the wild and the great outdoors was so omnipresent and inspireing. Thank you for that.

[@AJandH_Wanderings]

Great to see you and Flaps on another adventure. Wildlife was amazing, no need for a hide, when it is literally on your doorstep.

[@johnhorrobin6218]

Smashing vid again Lou. Sandy and I look forwards to Sundays, it's our early evening treat watching what you've been up to.😊

[@janl7552]

Love your vlog Lou. I have some happy memories of Brownsea Island from my childhood days and it was lovely to see it again. Many thanks for sharing your camping trip with us and for the beautiful video. xx🙂👍 ⛺️ 🦚

[@emmabartley5059]

Love seeing you, Louise… at one with nature! Always a tonic. Brownsea island is as beautiful and unique as it was when i was a child. Nice coverage as per😃

[@DavidBarker-ke2on]

Fabulous photography . I appreciate the time and effort you must have put into that production. Thanks Louise.

[@sassyboofle6983]

Louise that was different and yet so cool . Knew you liked nature and photography. All the nature was great to see . You made the whole experience look so great and well worth a visit . The drive was so much fun we could tell . The forest walks were lovely , all the facts were great . Yes I agree any naturally beautiful places to see right now are so crowded . I love walking in forests they make me calm and just so at ease with whatever ails me . Thank you for this , this am so far has been trying and you gave me a reset . 🫶👍🐾❤️ ⛺️

[@campervibe]

Being in the forests are one of our fav places to be

[@IngridMe1]

Wow what an amazing experience you've had On this Island. Thank you for sharing.

[@sbdiaries]

Hello Louise thanks for showing us your trip to the beautiful Brownsea island 🏝. Many years ago with had a ferry ride around this beautiful Isle😍. Camping is so much fun ,and good bit of history about the scouts. Best wishes Simon and Beth ❤🙋♥️

[@LaureninGermany]

I‘m actually watching your Norway/Sweden series from last year at the mo. It’s so helpful and entertaining, Louise. We hadn’t realised about the mosquitos. I hope whatever it was worked out. You guys deserve so much success. We really love how much you appreciate what you‘re able to do. Every video is uplifting and inspiring. 🤗

[@campervibe]

Thank you

[@nikandjb1]

Brilliant video,thank you Louise for sharing this with us 🙂

You are worth watching as your not boring and i think honest about your content, your camera work is right up there.

[@gregbolitho9775]

Hold-en your parking. Really like how Mumma Pea, brought the lil peas over for dinner. Mumma Duck taught her lings real good, 2 legs means food. Geez Louise, gotta thank you for thisy! Bludy rippa lotta wildlife. Hadn't heard about this Island, and here am I an ex retired Scout Leader. 😏Bout 45 years ago. If my arm was longer, I'd Hi 5 ya [✋Hi 5] you'll havta settle for thisy! Thanks m8, nice job!

[@campervibe]

Oh I know right, the wildlife there were super friendly

[@Goodisongirl]

Thanks for a great journey.. never heard of that island before .. I loved those ducklings so cute. Take care 🙂👍

[@itsdeanya]

Comment 2: Peachicks and a Pea hen is the correct. They are super curious. We had them when I was growing up. At first I thought you brought that cooking gear, I was like DOH!! GURL!!!

[@sarahbertram2219]

Your films are always beautiful. Thank your

[@shishly]

Gorgeous.Lovely calm video , makes me want to camp an island next weekend. Love the music you use.

[@darwinhall8550]

Great video, thanks for sharing. As a Scoutmaster here in the USA I have heard many tales of Brownsea Island and it was nice to actually see it. As an RV'er I also enjoy your van trips.

[@campervibe]

It’s a lovely little island

[@sharonm9267]

Love your solo camping/wildlife trips Louise. Although miss Emilie’s food and snack dances! 😂🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@HappyDuckingHomestead]

You two always share your joy. Miigwech (thank you) in a world that is so full of bad media and dreaded news you two are truly a light. Bless you both by whatever you believe in and may it keep you safe always.

[@randeehughes99]

How cute! Peacock and her babie sand the babie Ducks!

Awh Lou that was awesome. Didn’t know that island existed. Those ducks were brilliant so funny 😂. Definitely at that to the bucket list. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@ShapeofFear616]

Oh Lou, I do love your content...whether if it's youse twose or just you solo. It's always worth the watch be it fun, spooky, adventuring or exploring. Keep up the great work and as always, take care and be safe! p.s. I love your accent and your braids 😎🤘🍻

[@junebingham4213]

always love watching your videos Lou, lovely spot and great wildlife pics too. Waiting with baited breath for your exciting news update.....

Enjoy all the videos, loved this one of brownsea island. One of my favourites is the pumpkins on the head photography.

[@beckyleheny8636]

I really appreciate the camping vlogs!! I'm a tent camper and would like to see more of these as well as the van travels!!! Thanks Lou!!!

[@maxineredfern3380]

Gr8 adventure Lou. Rrrr bless those little ducklings 🐥 ❤. Maxxx

[@annhall1448]

What a beautiful little island. You were sure lucky with the weather.

[@JLR1957]

That's a lot of kit, Louise. I can do a 6 day back pack with less than that. Admittedly, fresh water available all the way, but everything thing else carried in and out! 6 days on the Jatbula Trail. No kitchen's or camping ground facilities, so one has to take something to cook on. I'll try to find a photo.

[@mandypoole4129]

lovely thank you Lou it's all ways enjoyable watching you love to Emily and AJ / Summer xx

[@peterowen4456]

Wonderful! I confess I had never heard of Brownsea Island - the Famous Five link is interesting. I read and loved all those books when I was a kid.

[@wtlloyd6039]

I think many managed wildlife locations in the UK have been shuttered due to Avian Flu - I know the Farne Islands are so, and I have been meaning to say I would DEARLY LOVE for you to make a visit up to Seahouses and take the trip over to Inner Farne and Staples. The birding is absolutely mental with Puffins zooming all around and Puffins, Guillemots, Razorbills, Sandwich Terns, Common Terns, Roseate Terns, Arctic Terns, Shags, Cormorants and Eider Ducks nesting at your feet. It's an unreal experience.

[@campervibe]

It’s crazy she was only there a little while ago

[@CharmingVanAxJ]

Great to see you visiting our neck of the woods great video. Never spotted those red squirrels and didn’t know you could camp. Poole Harbour is Europes 2nd largest natural harbour good for kayaking, and across the other side is Arne RSPB nature reserve.

[@paulross2914]

Love this film Louise, looks a lovely place. I recently saw red squirrels in the Yorkshire Dales and they are truly special. Fun fact a male peafowl is a peacock and the female is a peahen.

[@Callummacleod-bm3ps]

Great to see you visiting my old haunts. I do miss Dorset. Missed seeing the gang but solo camping in spots like that are really cool.

[@TannyaDigedan-mb8ex]

I love your videos. We missed Louise but I love your solo adventures too. You two are really so down to earth and fantastic, I love the fact that you are still you two even as you get so many more subscribers xxx Keep being you xxx

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

Fab vid. Love the baby peacocks.

[@Ritarelay]

[@sallydacre438]

That was lovely. You were lucky to get that trip in before the bad weather started. I'm fortunately in France with fab weather and fantastic park ups. Great vlog as usual. You must have some amazing wildlife photos. Looking forward to next exciting trip xx

[@melvsreacts]

This was like a proper episode, nicely done!

[@junerobinson8169]

Hi Louse an amazing video with all that wildlife, it was brilliant even for you to play mother duck 😂😂..so sweet. I bet you had a wonderful time, thanks for taking all with you. Hope Emily and all the family are okay. Take care and see you next week.

[@campervibe]

We are all good thanks

[@hondamonkeyboy]

Brownsea Island is an hour away from home and we love going there. The only downside is the size of the woodland ants which are massive. Glad you enjoyed it. Great content Lou.

[@Smokeysbandit]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@lynnegibbs6735]

Have been to Brownsea and fantastic to have all the wonderful memories come back. The video looked effortless, hiding all your hard work. Wildlife is still amazing. Thank you Lou. ❤

[@roberthardy2013]

We live near Birmingham so we have had the fun pre-sucked out for our convenience! Great somewhat different video Louise, nice change.

[@ALsoutNabout]

Great video Lou. Brilliant camera work and editing you raise the bar yet again. Well Done . Hope you enjoyed all them snacks to yourself! ;).

[@Plowe02]

Loved this Lou, the wildlife was stunning…..the ducks were mad and very cute! Great video 👍🏻 x
