...@Fell Wanderer not all things go according to plan my friend thinking on the feet is the skill youll almost certainly need to survive the wilderness and great outdoors...However an word of caution for novices/beginners is in order especially as those Kayaks are cheap plentifull and easily obtained from supermarket shelves these days unlike owning an traditional Canoe which would probably mean you have some kind of proffesional training which incidentally i do have...Never ever enter an water course without an life jacket since it costs next to nothing but will prevent even the poorest of swimmers from the threat of drowning...Also personally i would never recommend beaching an inflatable on an remote island with the risk of puncture and if youd like to Kayak as i have with open sea experience then get real proffesional training because not only could it save your life but will prevent the lives of others to be put at risk should you need an rescue...There really is nothing more treacherous than water respect it and then you can really enjoy its experience...!!

Hi, great video, good that you respected the wildlife. I was at the very spot you camped on Tuesday. Kate and I spent a few happy hours in the 'cove' I was fishing but the only bite I had was of Kates delicious sandwiches. It was from seeing your video that I worked out where this spot is located on Ullswater. Also using Google earth. I was looking for a place with rocks I could cast into deep water.This place is ideal even though no fish. It was flat calm at dusk really beautiful. So.. thanks for highlighting this place. Recently moved to live in Kendal am looking forward to more adventures. I meant to take some pics of the 'cove' to post here, but forgot. Cheers man. jB

Parky :)
@Fell_Wanderer10 жыл бұрын
Its a little more than just taking footage, a bit of video techniques/ skills, editing, content and other things, think of it as telling a story, plan and write ideas down on paper, things you want to say and want to film, if I have an idea about something that might be interesting I jot it down so I don't forget. Break the trip down into parts or scenes (remember your telling a story), a day in the woods could be broken down into something like, the arrival, activities and packing up/leaving. this is just an example and may sound obvious and simplistic but its handy for organizing clips into sequences for editing on a computer. I try and keep clips short, its helps to keep the story flowing without people getting to bored with whats going on, do a rough edit then trim it down making it more polished and refined. Always be on the lookout for interesting things to happen so you can film it like wildlife or a good sunset etc.. I'm no expert and my way might not be the best way but these are the things I think of, also look at other peoples videos, you dont have to copy them but they might use an interesting filming technique you wanna use in your videos like a timelaspe or transitions then search youtube for a tutorial, that's how I learned, a little music at the end can really transform your work into something special but dont have it too loud, what music you like might piss someone else off if its loud and distracts from other content in the video but that depends whether you made the video for you or others first. Hope I've given you some helpful hints, atb Damian.

Fell Walker The knife is the TBS Boar Bushcraft and I did a video review about 12 months ago on this channel. The sheath came with the knife and although I didn't like it at first and planned to change it I've now warmed to it, although not as well finished and refined as some knives, it does offer good value for money for only £150 delivered which included a firesteel and DC4 sharpening stone. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a decent bushcraft knife costing half to what some knives are going for.

It was a shame but the guilt would have got to me, the wind did pick up in the night so would have been a little exposed in the middle of Ullswater on Cherry Holm Island, Thanks for you comment.

just getting into wild camping do u ask the land owners permission or just camp n hope they don't spot u?
@mudwavessky35028 жыл бұрын
wild camping in my experience is best to set up late an pack up early leaving no trace that you were ever there. if you ask, they could always say no! if it's somewhere local that you will be returning to often it's a good idea to get friendly with the landowner though

How did you have footage of yourself leaving the first island from a camera still on that island? Then footage of you arriving on the second island from a camera already placed on that island?
@Fell_Wanderer4 жыл бұрын
I filmed myself leaving from the first island then went back for the camera. On the second island I arrived and setup the camera, then returned to the water and filmed my arrival. If the editing is done right you don't see behind the scenes, it all looks seemless from a viewers prospective, thanks for watching.
