Keep doing what comes naturally to you Dave. Don't do stuff, drink & cooking because you feel you have to. You ARE a proper KZbinr, I watch you because of who you are and what you do.😊Thanks.

What does it matter what other people think, we waste too much collective energy on something that at the end of the day doesn't mean a jot to oneself , as I once said to a colleague at work who was grinding my gears, " Your opinion of me or what I do is of no business of mine!" Keep doing what you're one of the best at Dave,all your true followers love you for that! Loved the sarcasm in this vid, and your dry northern humour it's precisely that which sets you apart from the rest of the camping fraternity. Keep at it you Ol'Darwener. ATB Michael. 😊🏕🥾👊

Cracking video mate! Nice chilled out camp, personally I think your one of the best KZbinrs for this there is, too many try and copy each other and come up with the same stuff where yours is unique and for a full hour I can sit and watch and enjoy it as though I was out on a camp too. Keep them coming mate

[@colinboxall2692]

You had me at the Peroni 🥰 and lost me at the boiled egg 😂. Gastro level cooking skills. You do you and don’t worry about others. Stick what makes you happy. You don’t need another tent 😂. I picked up three plastic bottles last Sunday along the same ridge line. It’s that time of year; those leave every tracers and the muppets on tour driving around the Lakes. Two cars can fit over skelwith bridge but not if you are in the middle bridge. Another 3 weeks and it’ll will be back to you and the Fells. (And all of us locals !). Those car bills sound expensive but having my youngest back from Uni and living with us in the Lakes is just as expensive!!! Till next time. Your cover page needs a headline like “Solo the Dead Reckoning Part” loads of YT views. Also, the infinity pools, you do know someone did fall last week ? Went to grab his partner who had slipped and took a tumble. Bring back the Rioja wine. Not long and brew with a view will be back 👍

Big thanks Colin 🙏🏻

Hi Dave, I've only recently discovered your channel so you have at least one new subscriber! Personally i find it very easy to watch and haven't thought “He’s not a youtuber”, so keep it going the way you have been/want to. Its a 👍 from me 😎

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Awesome, thank you Andrew 🙏🏻

[@ireneboston7953]

Hilarious, Dave, great stuff! It's a cracking ridge.... once you get up there after what seems an endless slog. Jamie Oliver eat your heart out! Although never mind getting a bit adventurous with a boiled egg, get stocked up with dark chocolate Bounty Bars and then you're talking! LOL I agree with the serious message though, about people ruining places, partly because they don't know what they're doing and don't care about the countryside and think it's okay for other people to clear up after them. I like your idea about an 'easy' one... as you head up a vertical ghyll side! 🤣

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Dave, I thought I was watching an episode of Masterchef there. Excellent mate, and what a pitch, when that clag lifted those views was immense. I was out for a wild camp on Friday evening. Unfortunately I didn’t get the same views as you did in the morning, but it was still great to be out. All the best mate. 😀🥾⛰🏕️

Hi Dave. What a video! A fantastic beer review and as for the cooking, it was simply amazing what you showed that you can conjure up on a stove! 😂🤣 Seriously though, I love your videos for the hiking, camping and views. In "proper youtubers" videos where they review beers, cook and stuff, I often just fast forward through those bits, not really bothered about it! Personally I just take a dehydrated meal, plenty of snacks and brews, can't be bothered with all that cooking malarkey, would rather just take the time to chill and enjoy my surroundings 😊

Hi Dave, as said many times before, don’t stop what you’re doing! The old faithful of us who have been watching for years need you to continue without any changes. Although having said that, I’m wondering if you would take up a very specific challenge. Poached egg? After all, you’ve still one egg left!

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Haha 🤣. Much appreciated David 🙏🏻

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

😂👍 proper KZbinr ✅. I have always really enjoyed your channel for the hikes and the views. To be honest, I don’t watch channels that all do the same thing. When I think of a proper KZbinr I think of someone who produces a quality video every week because it’s how they actually make their living. Which seems near impossible to me 😂. Especially if you want to continue loving what you do. However, KZbin can be a fun hobby! Always enjoy your uploads. ATB

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Very true pal. ATB 🙏🏻

[@thedaftestnameicouldthinko8233]

Got to agree with everybody else. Do what you want to do. Your content is entertaining and a lot of us enjoy it. As far as views are concerned, there’s many people doing summit camps. As a viewer, there are times when I feel I’ve seen enough. There’s also a lot of people walking along talking to their camera. I’m not a fan. I prefer seeing people in a landscape, which does, I realise, require a lot of covering the same ground three times. When you walk and talk, you do at least keep your head to the side of the shot so that we can see the landscape. One “proper” KZbinr, who catches a lot of flack for some reason, clearly thinks what he wants to say before speaking. I like that, being concise. The thing I really enjoy, though, is journeys. Back, half a life time ago, when I was out every weekend, I camped on Friday night after a short walk, had a long walk to a second pitch on Saturday and then a half day walking back to the transport on Sunday. If you get a properly free weekend, that kind of trip, done in your own inimitable style, could be top notch viewing. Sharing your gas with a stranger - brilliant. You’re a real gent.

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Much appreciated 🙏🏻

Lol, boil the egg for 1 minute, turn gas off, and leave it in the water with lid on for 7 minutes (soft) or 10 minutes (hard). Hardly any gas used. Try it at home, works every time.

[@isobelsimpson7369]

Thanks for sharing Dave. Another great video. Your channel is a proper KZbin channel. No gimmicks, just you being your normal self..you just get on with things and tell us how it is. Perhaps a title of “ I fell off the top of a waterfall and broke both my legs” or “ My tent pole broke...so I called Mountain Rescue” would get more views but this just isn’t you. Both the above have happened in The Lake District in the last 2 weeks...some absolute bone heads around at the moment 😂

[@buzzandselunsupervised649]

🤣🤣🤣 Great viewing for a Friday night. Being a real KZbinr.... Nailed the cooking and beer revue but more work needed on your wind speeds. Looked and sounded at least 80 miles per hour 🤣🤣😇. Put the egg, the beer and 70 mile an hour winds in your film description and thumbnail and your in. We do look for solitude and find it but the message I got from this film was the sharing and help and support given to someone in need. That is special, fair play Dave. You have built a great channel and both me and Tracey love it. We are out next week trying a different route on Birker Fell area. Maybe copying you from another film 🥰🙏.

We have folks reviewing electric bikes or stealth camping on a traffic roundabout or behind ASDA.You've gotta keep ahead of the curve Dave.

I think Dave the decline in views may be to do with quite a lot of chopping and changing in the type of videos that you’ve been putting out over the past year or so, which is in one sense absolutely fine because it’s linked to a very positive change in your circumstances, which is fantastic. However, consistency means people know better what to expect. I was drawn to your channel originally by the technical/challenging nature of camps such as the Napes Needle one in the Soloist and some of those winter camps. Having said all that I think many You Tubers are struggling in a saturated market at the moment and at the same time the Covid boom in interest in the outdoors is perhaps waning a little. Just some of my thoughts that’s all.

Totally get where you’re coming from. It’s probably a combination of all the stuff you mention. People expect to “entertained” these days. Lots of clickbait titles and messing about. Fortunately my regular viewers like to just sit, watch and chill. Thanks for watching and ATB
