[@carolynlewis1306]

Wow I totally admire you for doing this video. Hope your foot better by now. I was surprised no other homeless people about.

[@JDPJourneys]

I didn’t see anyone else homeless while in Rhyl but I may of been to the wrong locations.. if you check out the 24 hours homeless playlist on my channel there are more of these mate 💙

[@shanebrown6667]

I think you should try charity shops and see how much they help. I know in Blackpool there was a few shops that used to help a homeless guy and his dog

[@laurenceharvey6202]

Fair play..... respect 👍

[@Shockwave1134]

Yes you need a tent. Don’t suffer in misery mate, lots of homeless people have them and keeps the rain off your back. Goodluck

[@JojosNightmare]

Yes do a homeless challenge with a house that makes sense. 😂

[@Shockwave1134]

@@JojosNightmare I said a tent

[@TheWhippinpost]

This is very commendable, though I wish it highlighted some of the less obvious challenges people take for granted, such as cleanliness, washing clothes, going the loo for a tommy brick, wiping the ass, loneliness and sheer boredom, finding food, eating food etc., and doing this every single day, week-in, week-out. I'm glad there are people like you doing this though; much respect.

[@DiMiTri_Mushr00ms]

Well done for sticking it out dude. I think you should do 24hrs in Sunderland. Homeless or not you'll have an experience with them people 😉😂

[@gaffladd2003]

top video as always. JDP get yourself to manchester piccadilly an the train station and spend 24 hours round there

[@jimmyburkeirishgoodfella5720]

Come to Belfast bro you’ll see some crazy situations

[@andymeadows2768]

I would say don’t take your own tent or sleeping bag see who is out they there are many good people with a good heart including myself if I saw someone I would help your showing awareness & I thank you from the bottom of my heart your amazing man helping other people

[@JDPJourneys]

[@Shroomz_z1]

@jayne805 Well he named it a "challenge" and I think its a little unfair to plot in his old spots. I wish no harm. But boy,,,,,,,imagine the views he'd get if a single sole would let him film 🤣🤣. Plus when I asked him he musta known or googled it cos his reply was more or less no fkn way. Have a good one

[@KSB373]

Take my hat of to you JDP been homeless myself and wouldn’t want to go down that road again me and my partner are saving up so when Xmas comes we will be going round our local towns/city’s handing out warm coats, hat gloves etc to the homeless

[@richjones5432]

The whole thing is a set up. This is just click bait.

[@HillbillyYEEHAA]

Did you know you can use the post office or the job centre to be your place of correspondence? So you can try to claim and have your mail sent there.

[@paul1982100]

This is better fair play

[@brummybanters]

I don’t think there’s many holmless anymore as I went into brum looking for them with money clothes and.could only find romainians or snide ones so I think there in. Tents or squats but any way I did watch wish you the best bro Brummy b ❤

[@MrJamesmanu]

Brighton would be a good one

[@rolorolo6297]

Homelessness isnt that bad. I cant sleep due to stress of rent/bills etc. On the streets you can join a gym for 25 quid a month, haveca shower, workout every day with no stress. I cant wait to get kicked out as I owe 6 months rent (4 k) itll be a relief tbh 🙄

[@WoodyWanderer]

I’d deffo rather pay most of my wage for a house tbh . Can’t beat getting warm baths making cuppas sitting on warm Sofas . Comfy beds etc . You can’t just think living on the street is alright because it’s free 😂 what about all the weirdos putting your life in danger and the horrible weather for 9 months of the year . Plus you can’t get shit without proving your address so without one you won’t be able to sign up to gym etc

[@HillbillyYEEHAA]

What gym is that? Because rhyl doesn't have puregym ect

[@chrismcfc88]

I'm homeless in Rhyl at the moment. Having to stay at my ex's house for a short while because I'm working and need to provide for my little boy. It's easy to take life for granted until you hit rock bottom.

[@JDPJourneys]

Hope it all sorts itself out soon mate 💙

[@RealtalkManc]

Bit advice mate, you need to interview local people about what they think about the homeless problems, do they do any thing to help ? Etc etc. It will be more of interesting watch for us. Your doing a good job mate, and I watch all your vids. Just an idea for more views etc

[@JDPJourneys]

Thanks for thoughts mate 💙💯

[@smithben7620]

Get yourself a tent and sleeping bag mate another good thing for your phone so u can do content is a fox 27k wireless charger well done mate keep the content coming

[@PhillipplaistedPlaisted-qu7nc]

If i was you i would find somewhere a bit more out the way behind a building were its dry and but some cardboard down then get inside the sleeping bag and put a couple of jumpers on as well

[@jacquibuck8967]

I understand what your doing and fair play to you but the best person to speak to about the homeless in Rhyl is Richard Kendrick who works his butt off to help the homeless giving tents out to people sleeping bags etc he also helps homeless family’s stuck in a one roomed hotel

[@gavinjones2965]

6.10 mins through, boarded up window was Melvins gaff

Being from Rhyl it would be interesting to hear what you learnt about homeless in Rhyl. Did you expect to see more people on the streets etc?

[@scottedwards7173]

Ya should work on your introduction to videos, ya said at the beginning "this is 24 hours homeless in Rhyl hope you enjoy it" enjoy it?? Not something to enjoy watching people that are homeless ya know.

[@RealYourNightmare1193]

Wondering why your tagging Wendall & Billy , both Veterans of producing hopelessness vids , unless it's to compliment them. Note neither actually sleep out to bring awareness, but do Interview relevant people !

[@paullittle4137]

Nothing to do with homeless and took ur own sleeping bags keep up.the good work 😅

[@JojosNightmare]

You used the £5 on the last video to. I don't think anyone gave you the sleeping bag you obviously brought it with you.

I never used it in any of them actually mate and the sleeping bag was gifted by a kind stranger thanks for your thoughts tho 👍👍
