The End Of An Era !!! What next for 2024?

[@barthonhoff5547]

Thanks!

[@TheRetroShack]

Wow!!!! Thank you SO much!

[@stephengow]

Hope you and Mrs Shack have a great adventure. Looking forward to hearing all about it.

[@jimcabezola3051]

Enjoy your sabbatical from "The Retro Shack." As an OAP myself, I concur that doing all your planned travel whilst you're still ABLE to do so is extremely wise. Happy travels! Aloha!

[@matthewwright2598]

Good luck and well done both for having the courage to do what you are doing.....

[@TheRetroShack]

Thanks Matthew! Things will settle down into a nice routine soon enough :)

[@1997flakey]

All the best to you and Mrs Retro Shack. Life has these points where one chapter stops and another one starts. Stay safe and will be here when you are more settled and secure.

[@daveb1930]

Happy travels to the both of you! I'll be looking forward to your uploads as and when they appear. Stay warm!

[@horusfalcon]

Retired about 15 days ago, so I can definitely relate. Give it time, adapt slowly if you can, quickly if you must, and you'll do fine. Enjoy traveling around and being together. That stuff's important, man.

[@Rcking1110]

Wish you the best. I can't wait to see how wonderful it'll be moving forward from here

[@jamesmelody]

Thanks for everything so far and all the best in this adventure

[@merman1974]

Safe travels and look forward to the future of the channel.

[@bazza5699]

aww nice one.. congrats on the 30k, and good luck on the life changing journey you're both about to embark on.. maybe a temporary name change from retro-shack to retro-van.. wishing you all the best for 2024..

[@vaughantruelove1757]

All the best on your new adventure. Looking forward to "The 'Ret-Ro'ad Shack" . Enjoy yourselves and we are here for you - whatever and wherever you go.

[@reaper378]

Good man we are only here for a short time make the most of it !

[@Colin_Ames]

I wish you the best of luck with the adventure, and look forward to future videos when you get around to making them. My wife wanted to sell our house and go full time RVing, but I’m afraid I wasn’t up for it.

[@cicero44bc]

Best of luck to you both in your new adventure, exciting times ahead!

[@crowbiker4462]

Thanks for your honesty - you have to do whats best for you - all the very best in this new season for you & yours...

[@charlesandrews2419]

Looking forward to share a bit of your adventurous exploits. Shout out to your partner and her patience.

[@The_Dee_Jay]

Love all your content & wish there was more to digest each month but not as much as I wish you & Mrs Retro Shack all the best on your adventures now that you’ve become empty-nesters - have fun & I look forward to all future videos!

[@tawpgk]

Super decision. Doing it now while you're still young and physically mobile will allow you to make the max out of the Adventure. My dad wanted to do a lot of traveling when he retired and ended up never being able due to the health of both of them at different times.

[@LeoBerardino]

Great to know the face behind the voice and this great channel. Congrats for your content. It is very good.

[@mrroobarb]

Brilliant - enjoy every moment!😀

[@DouglasTitchmarsh]

Glad to hear the videos will keep coming. I look forward to them.

[@emorelama]

Cheer up with the changes. Don't worry about the channel, but thanks for explaining it.

[@eazyliving]

Great! You're living MY! dream :) Youngest is 10 but... Wish you all the luck and fun!

[@mortenpedersen6149]

Best of luck to both of you 🙏🏻 and good decision because it is your decision! I am looking forward to more content on the channel again 👍🏻 Enjoy your new life 😃

[@TheOriginalCoda]

Good for you. I think you sold up just in time before the housing market totally crashes. I raise a glass to you both!

[@bblblp]

Good luck to you both!

[@another3997]

You go and enjoy yourselves, don't think about us... we can get by, sat in our cellars and padded cells whilst you go gallivanting around and enjoying yourselves. We're not jealous in the slightest. 😂 Best of luck, and enjoy your travels. Oh, and may your caravan and all your showers be warm. 😉

[@K.F-R]

Congratulations. Good decision. Enjoy!

[@smarty7662]

Brilliant news. We retired over 2 years ago and bought a motorhome. Never had so much fun. Enjoy your adventures.

[@Rydbjerg]

All the best to you and mrs. Shack. I love the projects you show us here. If you at some point stumble upon the ZX Baremulator print for the ZX Spectrum case, please consider me.

[@MatthewJohnCrittenden]

Safe and happy travels!

[@RussellBaker]

Fantastic choice! I'm at that stage where I am mulling over similar options, near the top of the list I guess is Starlink gotta have that high speed upload & download. Good luck with your travels!

[@martinh4982]

Well good luck with your (late) mid-life crisis. I had one myself. Bought a sports car. Drove it at high speed into a wall. I was ok after a few months. Hope yours goes better.

[@mazdabits6065]

Come to beautiful Northern Ireland, house prices are better. May God bless you all as you embark on this next part of your life's journey. In my prayers.

[@NEOGEOJunkie]

Good luck and God speed 👌

[@byronneedham529]

Go for it 👍 Good luck with the channel in the future, look forward to new content when it comes from the mobile Retro Shack 🕹️

[@nickolasgaspar9660]

The mobile retro shack! That sounds good! Enjoy your lives mate!

[@dugmeister65]

Have a fabulous time. We are planning something similar. Starlink is your friend when it comes to internet if you can justify the relatively high monthly fee…

[@mrtnsnp]

Good luck. Sounds exciting.

[@chrisrobson8540]

I wish you both well on your adventures......as long as you know where your tea towels are! You could slip in the odd cheeky stealth camp video from a random aldi car park LOL

[@magicknight8412]

Good luck with it all !

[@AS-ly3jp]

Enjoy the ride!

[@richardpowell8198]

Good luck 👍 we will be waiting 😁

[@britinindy4255]

Good luck and much fun to you both on your new adventures. Love Dad 🙂.

[@blitzerblazinoah6838]

You're not his dad?

[@Lucretia9000]

Politically, this country is just fekked, I'm trying to work out how to escape here too.

[@natsterjam]

The whole world has it's problems where ever you go my friend, it's how you live where you are, or where ever you go, and how much you let the bullshit effect you that counts in my humble opinion and experience.

[@darkstatehk]

Loving the "Ih0nCfivCQ1" poster.

[@bobfish7699]

Wow - that sounds fun. Enjoy - frozen pipes and all..

[@cdl0]

The thing I am worried about after seeing this video is the tea-towels. 🙂

[@TUSIP]

Hello, I have a question. My zx spectrum doesn't load from tape. It stucks at a grey loading screen and finds nothing.

[@medes5597]

I can help, if you give me some more details? Specifically: which model spectrum? Is it 16k, 48k or 128k? Secondly - how are you loading games? Via a tape recorder, a SSD tape emulator or via an mp3 on your phone? I know you said tapes, but people do use that term to mean "things that were on a tape" so I'm just checking. Let me know and I think I can help track the issue.

[@TUSIP]

@@medes5597 it's a original 48k, I'm using mp3 files from my phone, I use zx tape player app.

[@gary909]

You could also make travel videos... I'd watch those as well. If you have an older camper the channel name would still fit!

[@Florin76]

For the internet, just take a Starlink! I saw there are some conversions kits to install it on the roof of the caravan. Maybe doing more streaming while settle your retro corner in the caravan?

[@medes5597]

Starlink is very patchy in the UK, although we will be getting vastly improved service in August 2024 according to their representatives. So good idea but probably not worth it at this moment. Later on, definitely.

[@pauleyc6264]

That was certainly unexpected - but have fun and best of luck! 🙂

[@UKNeGuy]

Sounds great have fun

[@Brett_is_Veng]

ive seen a bunch of people do this in the last few years, my best friend of 30 years was one of them. Selling up and touring seeems attractive but it always seems to end up the same, with disappointment and with no money left and no assets left and once you are out of the housing ladder as your years clock up its almost impossible to buy in again unless you acquire a lot of cash. I hope it works out for you but the move isnt very compatible with the channels content so it will be interesting to see if you can continue. Ive enjoyed a lot of your builds and restorations and the research and care that goes in to the voice over info which has taught me quite a lot about machines i grew up with.

[@luisrodrigues7162]

Best luck.

[@mikechappell4156]

Good luck

[@aco2468]

Enjoy!!!!!!!

[@fredsmith1970]

The Retro Campervan ??

[@P5ychoFox]

Good luck! Enjoy your shower.
