The great thing about this video is that you show how to do things with cheap gear and supplies. I think that's the best way for people new to camping, prepping, and survival that gets overlooked. Your going to make a few mistakes along the way as you learn. Accidents can happen. You'll feel a lot better knowing it's not going to cost much to replace something than you will when you ruin something that cost you a substantial investment. As you learn and get better, then it's a good idea to upgrade. Keep up the great work and videos. Every Sunday is a treat thanks to you.

Back in '72, as a young 22 year old Gold Mining Learner Official, I recall a conversation I had with my then Mining Training Instructor, Alan Taylor, a Welshman. We were talking about the Annual Winter Migration of Hobos from chilly Johannesburg on the South African Highveld down to the warmer Coastal City of Durban. Having grown up in Durban, I had been privy to this migration .. our City Centre, Beaches, Parks, Woodlands, etc showing an increased presence of this migratory species over the balmy winter period. Ok .. now where is this is going. Alan in humour, referred to these Gentlemen as 'Knight's of the Road' 😊 .. I can still hear it being said in his unique 'Welsh Lilt'. I'm sure that those Knight's of the Road (and us, your viewers) would have (do) appreciated your practical advice on no-nonsense 'getting it done'. Thanks Shaun, for the Posting .. and the fond Memories that it dug up .. Alan, his 'Knights of the Road' and more from that period in time .. 👍. Take care .. Tommy
