Taking a Break fromYouTube

Just to let you know I'll be taking a break from KZbin, just to allow me to pursue some other interests for a while.
Feeling very well and healthy, I just need some spare time, just don't know where it all goes.
Thanks Pat

[@AmbiAnts589]

Thanks for keeping us informed Pat. We'd all be worried sick if you just disappeared! Enjoy your break from KZbin.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks, will do!

[@ianjames1179]

That was very thoughtful of you to make this video and let us all know, lots of KZbinr's just go quiet for months and leave us all wondering. This is easily one of my favourite channel's, it's given me so much pleasure over the years I can't thank you enough. Hope you have a good break with your wife and we see you again before 2024. All the very best Pat. CHEERS 🥂

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thank you Ian, had to let everyone know what was happening, rude not to....see you end of the year.....Pat

Enjoy your break Pat, don't dance and holiday too hard 😅.. Graham

[@st04bez]

Enjoy the break Pat. For what it’s worth, I never once found your wild camping videos repetitive. Always a new idea, a new laugh and ALWAYS an entertaining watch. Hope to see you back soon! Take care.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks 👍....see you end of the years.....Pat

[@Peter_S_]

Cheers Pat! Glad to hear you're doing well and we'll miss you but I understand. You have one of the best channels and your production is absolutely top quality. It's obvious the hard work you put into it. Your viewers love camps, but most are here for you above all. There are many camp channels but only one of you. You have such a wonderful personality and manner of presentation. Thanks for inviting us to come along with you on your adventures and being such a gracious host. All the best from Boulder, Colorado!

Hi Peter and thanks for the kind words, hope to return later in the year.....all the best Pat

Pat, I love your authenticity and I'm sure I speak for us all when I say just how much we appreciate you and think fondly of you. We'll be here whenever you decide to come back - just enjoy your time off! :)

Wow, thank you Natasha, I feel a break will do me good and a change....see you end of the year...Pat

[@lesleywall4186]

Thank you for the many pleasant hours you have given us so far. Your life is your own to do what you want with. Interests and hobbies change with time. You have no obligations. You have never asked for money and we have never given you any. Again thank you.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Been my pleasure Lesley.....thanks Pat

[@andyburrows3190]

Hi Pat thanks for the update. You’re a great example of a free spirit who by definition like to set their own agenda’s and I think we can all respect you for that. Don’t forget that your legacy on u-tube is always there and I for one enjoy watching them over again. It’s a great body of work for which you should be justifiably proud. I’m sure your upcoming adventures will be just as rewarding for you. I’m sure you’ll be back when your’re ready but in the meantime have a great time. Go well - kind regards Andy

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Andy, looking forward to new adventures, see you in the future.....thanks Pat

You've become a bit of a legend in wild camping circles through your videos on here and the effort you've put in to them over the years is truly amazing.

[@andymilnes]

All the best Pat, loved your wild camp and pub shed videos, but I can imagine it's hard work editing especially with the drone footage, etc. One of my favourites was when you cooked a full Sunday roast dinner on a wild camp, an absolute classic. Enjoy your break and hope to see your next video later this year.

[@cherb1971]

Hi Pat 🙌 wishing you and your wife many happy travels and upcoming adventures. I really appreciate all the time and hard work that goes into making and editing these videos for us. Cheers Pat, enjoy the summer and thanks again for all the fantastic and fun adventures you brought us on🍻

I enjoy your videos from the travelling in France, exploring Sheffield’s hidden waterways to making your treetop camping platform. The work and care you put into each production is obvious and and consistent but it is work.

Pat - I reckon I've watched all your videos and have begun re-watching. I find myself looking on google maps and peak district maps mid-video to see where abouts you are. It's been great to get to know a region on the other side of the world. I hope you find the time to make a comeback one day and even though you might think it's repetitive and tedious, you have a knack of being entertaining just talking to the camera regardless of the setting! Anyway I hope you're enjoying some hand pulled pints and hope to see some more uploads one day . Cheers from Melbourne, Australia. 🍻

Hi Pat - I’ve watched everything you have ever done right back to the old days ! And loved every one of them ! I live in Wakefield not so far from yourself and travel through Sheffield to Nottingham every other week - I always look out over the distant hills around the outskirts of the city and smile thinking I bet the views I’ve seen from your tent at night were from those hills ! I’ve just got to 40 years old and have started doing some motorcycle repair videos, my word I totally understand how much effort goes into doing them, let alone to the standards that you do ! Take some time out for yourself buddy because when something becomes “a job” so to speak we lose our heart in it ! Your heart has clearly been in all your videos, keep it that way my friend! All the best Stu the Wakefield welder ! ❤

Appreciate you letting us know tbh. When we check in amd see xMonths since last upload, it sparks concern!

Hi Pat. Thanks for keeping us in the picture. The effort you put into your videos is phenomenal, and much appreciated 👍 Maybe see you in the Pub-Shed every now and then for a quick update. In any case, enjoy your break, and I look forward to seeing you again.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Sounds a good idea Hoss.....thanks Pat

I really do appreciate your work Pat. I've enjoyed it for years. I understand completely about your energy level. I have my loadout down to 28 lbs. with consumable's, for a two-nighter, (3 seasons), and that is still too heavy. Enjoy the break, and smell the roses. Life is moving far too fast for me as well. I'll be waiting here to watch when you return to making your wonderful videos. Thanks, Pat.

Hi Doug and yes thank you for your comments over all these years, quite scary how fast time is moving, the more you do the faster it goes. We all strive for a lightweight pack, but I like my comfort as well, just have to meet in the middle somewhere, see you later....... thanks Pat
