[@TheMackemMountaineer]

It's a really lovely area mate. Didn't see a soul. All the best bud and thanks for watching

[@outdooradventures4250]

Top channel 👍

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

Thank you brother

[@emz_adventure]

Hi andy. That was an incredible sunrise. Another cracking video. I think we all at one time or another go through that sort of anxiety when out in the countryside camping or hiking. Good that you stuck it out and were rewarded with a stunning morning. Take care, em 😊

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

Totally true. I think most get it at some point it's a weird old feeling. But it's best to speak about, ride it out and get the rewards. Thanks for watching :)

[@emz_adventure]

@@TheMackemMountaineer absolutely and thanks for doing that 🙏

[@adventure_steve_hikes]

Another great vid mate. I get that feeling sometimes. It’s a bit like I’m home sick just wanna be at home with my family but I soon snap out of it and come morning I’m so glad I stayed

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

Yeah that's a good way of describing it actually. Always good to battle through and stay, I knew I'd regret it if I left. ATB

[@grahamswildcamping]

I’m with you on having a carefully watched candle in a tent- love a little t-light. Makes a difference as you say👍 Funny about the anxious feeling you described that nearly had you packing up. I think we’re all prone to feelings like that if we’re honest, well done for staying put and enjoying the night 👍

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

I really like the candle vibe it gives off mate makes it more comfortable and warmer although that might be a placebo haha cheers for watching bud. ATB

[@stevehayesadventures7005]

Great video bud... I use a candle in the winter too... if you think about it we'll use alcohol stoves in the tent.. just got to be careful thats all 👍

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

True mate alcohol stoves probably more dangerous to be fair aswel. Thanks for watching mate

[@marcwest833]

One of the best parts of this video (excluding the epic views) was how you showed your vulnerability With your anxiety, and how you worked through it. A great life lesson right there. Thank you for sharing fella and great to hear you getting more subs too. Thoroughly deserved 👊

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

Thank you brother! If we can't be honest and human what can we be :) always best to keep the heart on the sleeve! Thanks for watching 👍😊

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

It is so good to get out in winter time. It can be cold and hard but you got it all for your self.Great watch and a wonderful camp 😊😊😊

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

Thank you for watching, all the best

[@trickofthetrail]

What? No beer? 😱 Sorry you got some anxiety. I've had it a few times on camp. Weird where it comes from, especially when we're out enjoying ourselves. Great video matie.

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

Cheers brother

[@jonalen8025]

Good for you explaining that Some people do it just for the money doesn't matter if they are crap and like you said you are not helping them spend their hard earn money on rubbish your keeping it real ,Not many about like you well done

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

Thank you so much. Never been one to put on a front and pretend to be something else. Have to be real 😁😊 thanks for watching and the nice message

[@marko9912]

Nice attitude whoever said "promo"! Quite obvious to anyone who knows their gear that you'd be well chuffed with the LED Lenser, one of the best you can buy. I have the same one and keep a Petzl Bindi as back up and to use around camp since it's much lighter.

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

Totally agree mate, the head torch is fantastic. Bulky but great. Thank you for watching 😊 ATB

[@paulapowell22]

Absolutely fantastic watch Andrew with views to die for, brilliant 👍 ❤️

[@SarahLee220]

That sky in the morning made it 😮 stunning …

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

Thanks you Sarah 😊 yeah very lucky to get that sunrise. Defo my best morning yet 😍

[@GeoffGreenawayOutdoors]

Brilliant, that is a win for you mate, I'm glad you stayed out. Wow what about them skies in the morning, class. I cant wait to the next one.👍

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

Thanks mate, yeah sometimes you just have to give the head a wobble and get on with it :) thanks for watching

[@GeoffGreenawayOutdoors]

@@TheMackemMountaineer that’s it you just have to muddle on. Fair play to you keep it up.

[@bernardscott1783]

Our minds don’t half play tricks with us mate

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

I know mate. Understanding it and working it out is a key part to happiness I think. And talking about it too. ATB

[@DemiGod..]

I assume you got the Soulo due to the scare you got in the Allak. You can't go wrong with a Soulo.

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

No mate, I already had the soulo I love it. I got the allak more recently so we had more room to take my daughter :) now it has 10mm poles and I've learned a lot more about its set up etc I'm way happier with the allak 2. Both tents are great

[@brightdaygaming5692]

at 7:59 - very nice use of the variable ND filter for the transition to inside of the tent, i saw what you was doing there. a little smoother changing through the ND stops and that would have been eye candy. how about that, one negative little comment has brought something out of you. your strengh is 100% in the shots you get and the creative side of things, not beers. you dont need to be a clone when you see videography the way you have shown you can. i mean just looking at the comments shows people are more intersted in the views and shots you got than the beer reviews you didnt. keep looking into lens, keep getting good shots and keep up with been creative. youtube angel out.

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

Haha thanks mate but I honestly think the transition was purely down to luck 🤣😁 thanks for watching 😊

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

That said, after taking a look at that part of the video just now, I see what you mean, will definitely try to do more of that sort of shot as I'd never thought about it until you've pointed it out. Thank you

[@brightdaygaming5692]

​@@TheMackemMountaineer the way the landscape silhouette matched up between the two shots, while essentially using a spin transition to cut betweem outside the tent to inside, i honstly thought youve been taking videography classes. throwing in the ND filter to changing the exposure to match the second shot for the transition, thats advanced stuff. seems like youve got an eye for it without knowing and yet calling it luck. you need to trust yourself and just play around, have fun with shooting. i know i gave you a hard time on your last video, but i like seeing people glow up and knew you didnt need to do what 1000s of others are doing. saying that, i did feel bad when you said you wasnt doing the beer review even tho i know its for the best. you did seem dishearted. but i hope this is leaving us on better terms.

[@TheMackemMountaineer]

@brightdaygaming5692 haha all good mate, I didn't have the beers because it was way too cold not because of comments. I enjoy a beer out camping so don't worry ir wasn't anything that was said to me. That said, glad you've commented on this as I'd never actually thought about being really creative in terms of what you've pointed out and it's definitely prompted me to try hit more of these cool and creative shots 100%

[@brightdaygaming5692]

@@TheMackemMountaineer The only thing with linking your channel to drinking is the fact that the algorithm will only promote your channel to a set demographic hindering your overall channel growth to about 100-200k subs at best, thats why many channels do had a second channel to upload things that they enjoy but also know youtubes algorithm doesnt promote the content due to its not the overall image that the youtube brand aims to be. i know its hard to believe a random username on the platform that seems to be only present to participate in the art of troll'in, but i think ive spoken enoguht in depth that you know what im saying to be true. if not, you could always take alook at those channels that do and do not promote age restricted participation in their content. its all about monetization at the end of the day, not for you. but youtube themselves. im glad ive inspired you, with your own video, that you already shot hahaha im still finding it hard to believe you got that on the off chance. hahaha.
