[@anniejones1839]

I wouldnt have slept a wink, the wind is a formidable force. Glad you were safe

[@FatBoyBald-45]

@@anniejones1839 It certainly is Annie, I made sure I remained as safe as I could though, but it was great to watch close up, mother nature flex her muscles a little.

What a fantastic atmosphere man! This episode is simply incredible!

[@FatBoyBald-45]

[@FatBoyBald-45]

Thank you TeaOutdoor, you stay safe too buddy.

[@HudsonOC]

Well done on surviving the storm and the disturbances. You're braver than me. It was great to see you over the weekend

[@FatBoyBald-45]

Thanks, it was a great weekend and the storm was awesome.

[@UrbanKiwiana]

Good evening mate, You're tent did so much better then mine when I ended up in 24 hours of torrential rain 😂, I dont like when rowdy people show up close to a camp site it makes me super uncomfortable and I cant sleep , She was proper blowing wasnt it holy moly. Have an amazing rest of your week.

[@FatBoyBald-45]

@@UrbanKiwiana Well hello again, yes I was a little on edge when they all turned up qnd started walking around. Strange behaviour on such a storm night. Hope your resting well after your last 400km trip.

[@UrbanKiwiana]

@FatBoyBald-45 +I bet mate..I'd be the same., And kinda, spent today swimming and enjoying nature with my sister..and spending time with me mum. Definitely catching up on sleep because I 100 percent don't sleep that well on the road still. 🌞🍻

[@FatBoyBald-45]

@@UrbanKiwiana Glad to hear it, making memories with the family is what its all about. I also don't sleep well when on a night out, partly lack of comfort lol partly always wondering if your going to get moved on. Look forward to hearing more of your journey mate, stay safe.

[@UrbanKiwiana]

@FatBoyBald-45 +Always my friend I lived 14 hours away so couldn't afford to see my family much so the walk was in part for that reason and my mums such a beautiful kind soul. And yeah mines definitely due to comfort, my sleeping mat is horrendous lol, definitely need to upgrade it. And thanks mate I only upload once a week 🙏

[@FatBoyBald-45]

Hi all, sorry first technical error on the channel lol. I accidentally scheduled the video a day early :D oh well, hope you enjoy it a day early !!! Have a beautiful day !

[@UrbanKiwiana]

+😂 gotta love when that happens aye..much love mate

[@nicsculinaryadventure]

Wow yet again another great episode challenging yourself - who would have thought the most scariest part would have been the company 🤣🤣🤣

[@FatBoyBald-45]

@@nicsculinaryadventure I know it was quite freaky for a while, don't know what they were all up to in that storm but they were there for way into the night before disappearing. Its all part of the experience lol. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@jag4762]

Great news. Most steaks 🥩 I see cooked on or near camp fires are burnt to a crisp or raw. Maybe cooking the steak in some foil in the embers of a fire might be the way to go. After all you don’t want a blazing fire at night if you’re wild camping as you’ll probably have unwanted visitors. Looking forward to the weigh in Saturday. Best wishes. Charlie.

[@FatBoyBald-45]

@@jag4762 Don't worry I like my steak rare so no burning to a crisp lol. You to Charlie, best wishes.

[@bensouthwell1339]

Talk about "Rough and Ready" and a fifty quid tent, you put the Pro's on here to shame kidda because that was some bastard of a storm.

[@FatBoyBald-45]

@@bensouthwell1339 Yes mate it was pretty rough but you would never guess that with the tent as it was barely moving, however it was tied down really tight so not surprised. Thanks for your kind words.

[@leeH-89]

Can not believe the tent was only 50q .. I seen more expensive tents, do a lot worse, in that kind of wind... I tell ya , it always hair rasing when people show up in the middle of the night... But to be honest, I'm always a bit more nervous, when it just a person, and their not making any sound 😮 Again really enjoyed the video/ show, as always.. I'll stop waffling/ Rambling on ... Take care, and GOD BLESS!! Oh , you already don't look like you did in the first video/ show .. Already look like two different people, I'm sure you already feel different as well... Keep up the Great work... Ok I'll really stop waffling/ Rambling this time... Again, take care and, GOD BLESS!

[@FatBoyBald-45]

Hey there Lee, don't apologies for waffling lol. It's always really nice to hear from you. Yes mate the weight loss has made a huge difference already. I feel lighter, I can move better, I can walk longer, my knees hurt less than before and of course I am starting to look a little like the old me again :). Glad you enjoyed this episode, take care, best wishes.

[@FatBoyBald-45]

In this episode I really push my kit (especially tent) to the limit, will it survive or will i have to double down in my bivvy bag? :D

[@stevegregson4357]

Never camp under trees in a storm wales list 20 000 trees in this storm

[@FatBoyBald-45]

@@stevegregson4357 Totally agree mate, that's why I decided not to in the end and slept among the bushes.

[@nicsculinaryadventure]

Hi FBB, Just wanted to ask how the sleeping bag is holding out in the PROPER weather lol - you are challenging yourself so much and I'm finding it absolutely amazing how you are able to persevere through these wild conditions and most of all enjoy them 😂😂😂 xx

[@FatBoyBald-45]

@@nicsculinaryadventure Hi there. Sleeping bag is doing amazing, these winter nights would not have been possible without it. But then the tent is proving to be better than expected, so feeling lucky and blessed.

[@nicsculinaryadventure]

@@FatBoyBald-45 Cannot believe how excited you appear to be wild camping in a storm 😀

[@jag4762]

Hi be careful with that wind. It might be the Ketogenic diet. 😂 Why is there no more ☕️ coffee drinking, also when are we going to see a nice juicy steak 🐂 being cooked on a campfire?

[@FatBoyBald-45]

@@jag4762 Hi there. I do have coffee again now but usually only 1 or 2 early in the morning. I had to cut down my caffeine. Yes a nice steak would be nice, I will save it for a special occasion 😋
