A great start and a good film, I’m walking the WHW solo and camping in May this year 2024. It will be my first long distance hike with mediocre gear and some health issues, but I’m looking forward to it. So plenty of OCD faff for me to contend with for now, looking forward to your winter WHW series, take care. 👍👍👍

[@WildHomeHiking]

Ah great, May will be a beautiful time of year to hike it. Enjoy! 😊

[@onomka]

My friend and I are going in May as well. Both of us are first timers. We are a wee bit anxious but super excited 😊

[@chrisholt2474]

@@onomka have a great adventure on the WHW, May is a good time I’m hoping the bluebells are out in the wooded areas, all the best, good luck 👍👍👍

You're videos have a really lovely wacky feel, and that is meant as a compliment to your personalities shining through. Look forward to the rest of the series.

[@WildHomeHiking]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@ruthpine-apple9860]

Great video. I walked it at the beginning of March and it was snowy and cold. I have the same tent as you, it's very good in strong wind. Look forward to part 2!

[@jennyfulcher8035]

Snuggle down into your cosy sleeping bags within your frozen tent! Beautiful scenery on your hike. I just discovered your blog and am enjoying it so far. It's March 30, 2024 now while I'm watching it. Jenny USA

Thank you! We're heading over to the USA very soon 🙂

[@derekhughes4028]

Will you be hiking?

[@WildHomeHiking]

@derekhughes4028 yes, we're hiking the Pacific Crest Trail! 🥳

[@derekhughes4028]

@@WildHomeHiking Wow! Fantastic! What an adventure. Are you recording it?

[@WildHomeHiking]

@@derekhughes4028 That's the plan! At the moment we are in the midst of packing panic 😂

[@mikebelk5455]

I think it’s fair to say you enjoy a challenge, I know it’s winter but those packs look massive, I dread to think what they weigh! Looking forward to the rest of your trip, very entertaining

[@WildHomeHiking]

Haha! Yes, we haven't quite got the hang of ultralight backpacking yet 😆

[@WyeExplorer]

I've commented on so many of your videos without reply. I offer no thoughts on this one.

[@WildHomeHiking]

Hello! Thanks for leaving your comments. We're new to this KZbin thing and have been replying to comments a little sporadically, but we do always read them and really appreciate them.

[@WyeExplorer]

@@WildHomeHiking New to it? So that's it. Mind you you've responded to this one and it's a critical comment. I guess defending yourselves is more important than engaging. Take care.

[@WildHomeHiking]

@@WyeExplorer We're not defending ourselves. We're offering an explanation and managing expectations. We're not going to be the type of channel that replies to every single comment all the time. That doesn't mean we don't read and appreciate them all. But if that is what you are looking for from your channels, then we're probably not it. I don't believe we need to apologise for that or defend our decision to manage our channel in a way that works best for us. We don't want it to become our life where we feel anxious about keeping on top of it. There's more to life than what happens online and getting lots of followers, so yes, there are more important things to us than engagement. Thanks very much for watching some of our videos and for your comments and I'm sorry our channel isn't what you're looking for.

[@WyeExplorer]

@@WildHomeHiking Hey, these are the most words I've got out of you to date and all to present your case. Well done! Re-engagement and appreciation - how are we meant to know you appreciate what we impart when we don't hear from you? It's a good question and a fair one. I think I'm well within the bounds of what's acceptable to say something therefore as a subscriber because we are not psychic! So, truly wondering if you had seen any of my comments I delved in with a provocative comment to see what the score was because that's all I had you not responding. Simple! I now know. You like what comes back and that's all. It's all free will and if that's the case all the best to you. Have a good day. Peace
