The PROS & CONS of filming our lives | What would we change ?

[@karenchaney652]

Hi nick and Leigh I know it’s a huge cost but we need you guys to take your sister and the girls back to America been a long time x

[@Janet-w2m]

Not sure what I will do if you guys stop vlogging. I am captivated by you both. Nothing is boring. You make everything interesting, even making tea. Love Nick's snide remarks. You are both genuine. ❤ from SE Georgia! See you on the next vlog😊

[@lindaoconnor8298]

Love anything you two show on your vlogs, I feel very privileged to be able to enjoy your adventures 😊

[@janeobrochta8033]

I love you guys and the day to day common things are nice to watch as well as your travels. I would miss the coffee making , walks you take, meals you fix, shopping etc

[@TheLodgeGuys]

ohh coffee might put one on now

[@deborahderbidge2971]

I watch all your vlogs, and so does my husband and my two girls, who are 11 and 9. We enjoy the travel ones, but the everyday life ones are just as brill.

[@christineoneill9190]

I have I to let you know that in one of those person that LOVE to just watch your day to day life vlogs. I have been watching your videos for 5 years, since before covid and at this point your videos have become a part of my life. I don't find it boron repetitive to watch you make your tea, or Chan the lodge. I love watching you struggle to pack your bags lol, or shop for groceries. The travel Vlogs are fantastic and I love to see the new places that you go to and experience them with you, but I would really miss your regular day to day vlogs.

[@Bombabingbong66]

You are nearly at 40K 🎉🎉🎉 Just do what works best for you and follow the path. You have created such rich and varied content for years, time to put yourselves first. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@paulamorris9497]

If you buy candles with lids just put lid back on and it puts them out don't get any bit blowing on rugs ect then

[@stevenpluff6481]

Here's what I like about the videos y'all share: they do not contain every personal detail of your lives. Some vloggers have to share every waking moment of their lives and I mean every moment. Y'all take us on fun adventures and share some good recipes. And y'all know when to stop filming when y'all are with family and friends. Other vloggers won't stop even when you tell them you don't want to be filmed

[@julieirvine8506]

I'm one of the people who would miss lodge vlogs and family vlogs 😂 love seeing the trips also but do love seeing how well yous entertain family and friends at the lodge and also love a wee breakfast start to the day ❤

[@lucindasumner3080]

We love watching day to day lodge life! We also enjoy when you do filming locations in the uk and abroad ☺️ x

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thanks so much 😊

[@LesleyJames-g7u]

Love to watch your day to day lives, but also nicks diy, coz he gets so involved and is such a perfectionist.

[@susanhunt5944]

I love your day to day stuff as well as your travel vlogs you could never be boring xxxx

[@jadehewitt5538]

I’ve watched you for 5 years now (what!! 😨) and to see how you/your vlogs have changed has been such a journey. Like you say you move, you evolve as people, priorities change etc. but I honestly think that the majority of regular viewers watch you both for you rather than what you’re doing - yeah they might prefer some vlogs to others but ultimately it’s your personalities that bring it all to life. I can 100% say that your community changed my life 10 fold - made friends for life and I’m so so grateful for that. I also think your community has remained personable enough for everyone to feel involved; you’ve both always remained down to earth and that’s why you’ve got so many people who’ve watched for a long time. Anyway, enough blowing smoke up your backsides. byeeeeee 😂😂

[@deborahjohnson8015]

Love your videos and your everyday life !! I'm excited to hear about your Florida trip and what you thought about my hometown of Winter Garden , Florida !! Stay safe with this hurricane coming but I think we will be fine in Central Florida !!

[@eileenrose6595]

You have been a huge part of my life since 2019. During Covid you were a constant for me and you really helped me get through every day. Thank you for being so down to earth. I live in the states and you have taught me quite a bit about life in the UK! Thank you!

[@rachelhalse8471]

Thanks for another vlog. Hope you are both well and enjoying your time on holiday. I have to say, I do love your day to day vlogs more than your travel vlogs but this is just my personal preference. Your van trip vlogs were definitely more of a interesting watch to your normal Florida trips. We do like Florida and Disney/universal but they can become very much the same after a while....will never stop watching you both though as love to see what your getting up to.❤ Xx

[@donnalee2983]

I will be lost if you stop vlogging. I do enjoy the travel and your social interactions. I have found other channel because of you both xx

[@LordandLordettes]

Bit heavy on the adverts lads! Was every few minutes. I love all your vlogs, lodge ones and travel. I edit all my vlogs but love it if you ever need some help! 😉 I am self taught with my editing. I know what you mean with filming similar things and worrying about being too same old, but my subscribers seem to love it like yours do! 😂❤

[@heathertonovic585]

Another great vlog,as always. You both love your families so much😊😊 it's so good to see. I can't understand how families break up. Family is such a huge support in our lives😊 I was one of nine children & we still have such love for each other, even though we have our differences & of course it's not perfect, But we respect each other & our different beliefs. Keep loving your family & friends the way you do

[@stephmcghie8732]

We always enjoy what you guy's get up to whether it's your day to day lives or on your travels 😊

[@clairedavies-wm1me]

Love your travel vlogs and the places around the uk you visit. I also love the food you share you make that is your version of something you have loved like the truffle pasta. You make our evening so entertaining. Thank you!

[@pablomufc8595]

Found it a bit sad when you was talking about the cons, but totally appreciate it. Always love watching you do the mundane day to day life but can totally understand your point of view on it. I have thought for a while you may do less overall vlogs like 1 a week or something as the time you put towards it must be astronomical. As a side note, really looking forward to Florida vlogs and thereafter seasonal videos 👍👍

[@TheLodgeGuys]

👍❤️

[@andrewwisker6918]

Keep vlogging you making your tea every morning 😀😀😀 love that bits of the vlog

[@nickolagray8859]

I agree about President butter Nick! They have it in the Hotel Cheyenne in Disneyland Paris. Blooming beautiful!

[@TheLodgeGuys]

I'm craving it now

[@sparkleypegs8350]

I enjoy watching you cook in the van and just basically vids inside the van.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

we need to show more of inside the van

[@eleanorwhite8548]

You guys are very entertaining,no matter what you vlog,it’s like watching a daily TV show,so whatever you decide to do,I will still follow & enjoy! 🇨🇦

[@lindajames8082]

I love watching you guys no matter what it is, dont change anything.

[@cynthiaandrews7636]

I hope you never stop vlogging my husband and I so enjoy your videos and it’s been a part of our week for a while now

[@TheLodgeGuys]

thanks xx

[@Wethreetravelers]

We think you have the right balance of lifestyle and holiday vlogs, but only you know what's right for you, and 7 years is a long time, but we hope you don't stop lol 😂❤. I would love to do you editing lol I think that would be awesome lol I have some pretty good skills on Davinci Resolve lol my cv is our channel lol x

[@lindawilliams5062]

I absolutely love watching all of your vlogs I find you both so funny the way you interact with each other makes me laugh and brightens my day out of all the people I watch you are my favourites ❤

[@hazelross4256]

Stunning views on the beach. I love any of your vlogs. Will you ever get rid of the apartment as you don’t seem to spend much time there ?

[@Nik_kkii]

Awwww I hope you don't stop the 3 x week vlogs ❤❤

[@maryogilvie9513]

Where do you buy President butter please?

[@Chrissyhappy]

I get mine in Waitrose, but Tesco sell it too.😊. Got hooked when we did a road trip through France about 20 years ago 😂. It’s more expensive but so nice!😊

[@maryogilvie9513]

Your every day happenings are interesting as your comments and events are funny and just part of your company is worth keeping xo

[@TC-rf3tu]

Hi guys! I totally understand the negatives you mentioned about non-travel vlogging. And you’re both so right that change is often inevitable. I do hope you continue Vlogmas, though! 🎅🏻. Thanks!

Hi Leigh, I've just finished treatment for tennis elbow. 3 months of exercises, which did nothing. Then 6 sessions of shock wave therapy at Clifton Park Hospital in York, completely cured so highly recommend 👌 xx

[@Dawn_Melvin_In_Tenerife]

School puddings were the best in the world. Chocolate sponge and chocolate sauce was my absolute favourite, closely followed by dead fly pie (current slice) with custard and toenail pie (cornflakes and jam in a pastry case) with custard. Puddings were my favourite part of my school dinners, but I can’t have many of them now as I’m dairy intolerant.

[@erinjones6889]

Hi Guys, really enjoyed the European van life and looking forward to your Florida trip. Would you ever consider selling the apartment and then splitting your time between the lodge and Taylor?

[@TheLodgeGuys]

nope the apartment is our pension pot

[@shirleywilliams4915]

I've just been off work for 3 months with tennis elbow. It became so painful & I couldn't use my arm at all. I was having physio twice weekly with band exercises & massage / acupuncture. I had to exercise my arm daily, I also have to wear a brace / grip when typing. It takes forever to heal but thankfully all good. You will need to exercise your arm.

Greetings from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! My family and I have been faithfully watching your videos for at least two years now. And hello there to all other subscribers! 🚨Comment below where are you from??!!!!

Do you think now you have the van you’ll sell the flat? Because you can travel when the lodge is shut now and you have another little home.😊. It’s so lovely to have the option of the motorhome. I loved mine.❤

I had tennis elbow a few years ago from mouse work on PC at work. Switching to an ergonomic mouse really helped, not had it again since.

Hi Leigh and Nick other great vlog I really enjoyed them looking forward to seeing more of them

[@czeshirecat6278]

You’ve still got a lot of interesting places to cover. I did make a mistake a couple of days ago for you to go to a place that I later realised wouldn’t be safe for you, but how about Japan for example? Ferry, train and city trips there for example. Plus it’s cheap right now due to low cost yen.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes there are still plenty of places in the world we havent been yet

[@lesliereynolds4492]

As an American I really do watching anything around there too.

[@janetovens756]

Leigh, when you’re editing the vlogs, your arms are meant to be supported. Can you add an extension to widen your desk to use for editing?

[@overpower3]

I love the travel vlogs the best

[@rachelnuttall9309]

It must get difficult for vloggers because you feel like you have to come up with fresh content all the time. I do love the travel vlogs. But like you said we just enjoy watching your day to day content at the lodge and the apartment. Your lockdown vlogs were some of my favourites, and really helped us all get through it. 🤗

I loved the van vlogs as you were in different places all the time, I also love your home vlogs though. As much as I love Florida I think you have been so many times they seem “samey” I like the normal home chatty vlogs 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@eldiarioofouradventures]

Vlogging is not easy at all! I have a KZbin channel where I document my trips with my family, and it takes me so long to edit the videos, add music, and add effects…. I have “voice dysphoria” (I don’t like the way my voice sounds on video), so I imagine that creating content and talking informatively to the viewer must be extremely challenging.

[@sharonsquires7877]

I love poking my nose into your lives everything you do is interesting you might be doing the same things but the conversations are always different

[@lukeashenden9362]

Why don't you sell the apartment now you have the van to stay in when the lodge is closed you don't really need it anymore

So you said in this video when your not vlogging you are working? What are your jobs? You are constantly on holidays for long durations so when are you working?, You have an apartment, Lodge, Campervan and Car, so Seems like you guys have a great life and i enjoy your videos, but does the revenue from youtube and patreon pay for all that?

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Gone are the days where KZbin pays $$$ for content creators KZbin is a hobby that pays a wage patreon covers some of the costs to make the videos, but we have other pots on the stove.

[@tallactordude]

I think possibly one of the reasons we like watching your day-to-day life in the lodge is because you’re called The Lodge Guys! But I can understand how it might be less interesting for you because it is your daily life, and I certainly know that I think my daily life would be pretty boring to watch. I personally like the variety of having day-to-day life in the lodge and when you visit other places in the UK and when you take trips like the ones to Florida or the van trips. And if one of those things doesn’t appeal to a viewer of the channel, the other things very well might. So it’s a bit like the weather - you stick around long enough, and eventually it’s going to change to something else.
