What Outdoors YouTubers Don't Tell You.

[@craiggadd772]

Your honesty is wonderful and a delight to hear. A breath of fresh air one might say, but I feel that would be inappropriate given the video… 😅

[@liamgoggs3665]

The thing i enjoy most about you, Paul, (other than being a top notch British bloke) Is you're transparent, brutally honest, and you make a laugh out of what would otherwise be a frustrating situation. It's probably why I learn so much from you. Stay safe, Paul!

[@pamelaklemp5615]

Well said. 💯 agree.

[@BellaVista1470]

I like your honesty Paul. One of the problems with KZbin is the tendency to always show the fun and successful things, but in reality life throws us curveballs all the time, and we have to learn how to cope

[@xjessukx]

I don't blame I've taken the day off work to have a walk-up kinder. I'm still sitting at home drinking tea

[@nickmunoz9703]

Top shelf of the fridge took me by surprise 🤣🤣🤣

[@simond4106]

Love it, your honesty made it well worth watching

[@DamianBloodstone]

Honest about mistakes is how we all grow. If you didn't have mistakes, you wouldn't be real. Don't be down or upset about it. It is real life. Besides, you showed some great views. Thanks. Take Care and Stay Safe.

[@aspectratio6580]

I bought a cloud peak last year drove to thirlmere to camp harrop tarn, looked at the rain and thought i fancy putting the fire on so went home, i didnt even get out of the car😂. Sometimes you just know its not going to be a nice night. I didnt want my first night in a new tent to be a nightmare camp. Great videos paul.

[@chaseladdersltd]

Well done Paul - good video even if you did leave the content at home (well some of it 😂)keep up the good work- brightened my day

[@dcaudwell]

Keeping it real! That's why we keep coming back.

[@Gareth769]

You made me laugh with this ! Cheers for all your (continued) great content ! 👍

[@glynburden1813]

Glad it's not just me paul, makes me feel normal now, thanks mate

[@nickarter]

Walked over Great Links Tor on Sunday, Winds of 30mph, chill of 1.6, but sunny and clear, it was fab! I love the wild weather!

[@buck197]

The advantage on a rough day is less folk are out and I love the challenge of battling the conditions, Dartmoor never disappoints.

[@kevgoes]

I was filming a snowy winter camp in the woods last year. It didn't work out so I packed up and came home. After an hour drive I realized I left my new mic clipped to a tree and had to drive all the way back the next morning. Haha. Sorry you for got your food...lol

[@samwhite7197]

You're in good company - on a sea kayaking trip, my adventuring mate only found out that he had forgot his paddle when we were fully kitted up and about to push the kayaks into the surf!. Went all the way to the Swiss Alps and only found out on the mountain that we had left the tent poles behind! Ho hum!

[@WarrenKimpel]

another nice video THANKS showing the reality of video making is good

[@maxlutz3674]

That´s a very honest video. Occassionally there are videos where they forgot their cuttlery and/ or extra plates. But as the food is already cooked, a way to consumed it is found. It happens to the best of us that items are packed, put in a ready position and then forgotten. I added a bullet point "loaded into vehicle" to some of my check lists to reduce the odds of forgetting a checked pack.

[@WildIrishman]

At least you made it out of the house Paul😂 the last video I put up was terrible. I didn’t feel like recording. Maybe I shouldn’t have uploaded. I make it as far as my front door and then just change my mind about going anywhere. Love the honesty Paul at least you got a video out about it😂

[@nevetsre7001]

I went to Higher Tor and Stanage in July 2023, parked at Upper Barbage Bridge. I guess the deluge driving up should given it away and maybe the waterfall running down the south edge of Stanage. I braved the wind and horizontal rain until the trig point, couched behind a rock to eat my chicken butties. The dog didn't seem keen. Then the lightening started playing across the great ridge with the weather headed our direction. I got down off the edge and trudged sodden by the road back to the car. The light was just fading as I rejoined the M1 at Chesterfield. So much for a night out wild camping.

[@polarbear109p2]

There’s been many a time I’ve sat in that car before a hill walk in bad weather asking myself what I’m doing. I’m usually fine after about a half hour in.

[@manuelh.4147]

Last weekend I cut a hike short, because the weather was miserable. Wind, light rain. So this isn't a YT thing. But outdoor KZbinrs also love to show when things go bad.

[@OnlyVansGuru]

That gives me hope . I drove for an hour today to Dartmoor only to realise I'd left my drone at a friend's (sheltered there over the weekend from the storm). Turned round, picked it up and got the shot I wanted 😊 . You still delivered some usual Messner views though Paul.

[@paulhannan9739]

Outdoorsie KZbin Guy: Right! Let's get OUTDOORS! Opens car door Outdoorsie KZbin Guy: Bloodie HELL, it's freezzzzzzing! Let's get back to the car! Brilliant! Keep up the great work Paul. I really enjoyed this one. 😁👍

[@NottinghamshireMadness]

Brilliant, first vlog I've seen in 5 weeks, takes me 5 hours to upload a 3 minute video from China

[@AndyWragg]

At least you made it to the car park. Apart from cook the Sunday 'dinner' yesterday, I've done the square root of sweet FA for the last couple of days since doing the gym on Thursday. This weather's gash.

[@alanclarke2503]

You know something Paul , sometimes your great , other times your brilliant, just love these videos , love your honesty, guess what , even though your a top bloke , your just human , we all make these mistakes.

[@summitupmark5615]

School boy error Paul - and to think we all look at you as an expert 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@janedoe-ch4hv]

More like this, absolutely hilarious vid mate - what else goes wrong haha

[@Martycycleman]

What a load of twaddle left the food in the fridge, ye OK. Get yer sen outside lad.😊 Cheers Paul for all you do.

[@JoshTyldesley]

Thanks for showing this side paul. The amount of times I've gone out.more so recently and not ended up doing it or filming is crazy it's difficult sometimes

[@mattsmountainmadness]

Thanks! I hear ya!

[@rodoutdoors]

I like these relatable videos. My backpack is fully packed for a trip but I'm still here. 😂 I make mistakes all the time like forgetting food. I put it in the video anyway.

[@colinowen1191]

Sometimes things are meant to happen!! 😂😂😂😂😂👍😎😀

[@glennfoster5431]

Thanks for your humanistic approach to your videos! Very inspiring 😊 I'd like to try a few video takes here in Australia and when travelling

[@scotbotvideos]

Humanistic? What, as opposed to being religious about it? 😜

[@alpinaCD]

So many things we forget. Today I went for an 8 mile walk to keep my fitness up for the New Year hike, hadn't hiked (properly) in ages, and the walk was very puddly and muddy and I panicked because I hadn't thought about my shoes, walking shoes but very old, and there were some ankle high puddles, they survived but I could have ended up cold and wet, (especially if I had slipped 😮) and because it was sunny I had not taken any extra clothes. Luckily I wasn't far from civilisation, but it was a reminder. Even on nice days, go prepared. 😂

[@paulcooper9187]

I feel much better, at least I know I am not alone on these things 😂 Appreciate the honesty

[@davem0udb]

The weather where i live just hasn’t been safe to go out in, glad it’s improved

[@pjgtech]

Thanx mate, even videos where its all gone wrong are still entertaining for us.... Lol. Keep on keeping on guv.... 8-)

[@WalkWithWallace]

Good to see the Freelander is still going strong 💪

[@shaunhutchison4049]

I agree, it's miserable today. Currently up at Midhopestones sat in the van eating mi pack up looking at the sideways rain. Being a gardener at this time of year isn't much fun! If I was you, I'd go home and do some planning/editing etc.

[@davebirds5667]

Haha 😂 brilliant, first thing I need to remember….🤔 the food 🫣 Never mind mate. Thanks for sharing this though, made me chuckle 😂 ATB

[@matthewbarlow1668]

omg thanks for the giggles, yup sort of thing I would do😂. The hardest part is always getting out the door so at least you thought you had a reason to get out therr 😂

[@RedHarman]

Your microphone is amazing! Considering the wind, could hear you perfectly. Can I ask What microphone/ system do you use? Thanks

[@IvanDP1967]

Weather been absolutely pants all weekend (typical when I'm off work though lol) I finally dragged myself out earlier for an hour or so and now feel much better. I think forgetting your food has to be one of your best "cock ups" 🤣 Thanks for sharing though, definitely put a smile on my face.

[@andrew-ij1or]

Weather has been so awful. Been in the local park! ❤😂

[@g.w.moorman3887]

'What a GOOF I am!' would be my response if I had forgotten the food. Did it once years ago climbing Mt. Marcy (the highest peak in New York state, U.S.) Kept thinking... can't wait to roast hotdogs over the open fire.... Oops.. left the dogs in the car!!

[@4KPieEater]

Rewound your ‘this cooking video’ phrasing when you were out of the car several times. Just for clarity you understand 😂

[@MountainManJohnFilms]

😂😂😂.... Well. At least you got some fresh air 💪👌

[@steveb1972]

Paul, forgetting the food is your inner voice saying GO HOME!!!!!!😊

[@jamesdecross1035]

I'm sat here doing nothing, staring at my computer screen, waiting for an MoT. I don't feel quite so bad now!

[@browsman2328]

My Windburner will run in any weather but when the wind blows it over time to go home.

[@tequeena]

😂 maybe you jinxed yourself in the last video? But at least you didn't set fire to your tent 👍 keep warm, keep well 😊

[@80skidoutdoors-00]

I got up early to beat the crowds to Dovedale recently only to find that the car park ticket machines there were cash only and there were no shops for miles! It was a bad start, but luckily a local said I could park down the road in Thorpe 😅

[@shainewinfrow7355]

i campd in the wood below higger tor

[@markwhalebone751]

Glad you didn't go for a clickbait title " Absolute disaster out on the peaks" . 😜

[@carriehikes]

I'd still rather be out in those conditions than going to work! 🤣

[@craigelliott4338]

What was i saying not 2 days ago? I did, however, get out to Norfolk this weekend and had a blast in the storm.

[@songasport]

Aye right, you sneaked down to Outside for a cooked breakfast didn't you?!!

[@chrishomer]

Re motivation, give me a shout if you fancy joining me on a trip to Snowdonia or the Shropshire hills or something mate.

[@iainday]

Honestly Paul.! 😹What are you like..?? 😜 A great fun vid despite the obvious mistake...🍽 🤗

[@twiglet2214]

.....they don't tell you that they don't tell you about certain things until someone like Paul spills the beans or opens the jar on a can of worms that nobody talks about ( until Paul talks about it ! ) then we are privvy to the worm information and how big the can actually is - metaphorically speaking,of course.Is it about worms btw ?

[@papajeff5486]

Paul, your honesty and transparency demonstrate a solid character foundation, thank you for all of us…from an old fan, retired in the US, foothills of the east Tennessee, Smoky Mountains National Park.

[@Silverwidows]

Video title could have changed from "I try this camping stove" to "I blew away in the wind"

[@ukhikermarv]

Everytime i do a hiking video rarely does anything go my way or manage to stick to the path pmsl

[@howardpotts5763]

Classic 😂

[@leonardmcdermott7703]

Well done Paul, these honest uploads make for a genuine one to one. A nice change to some over the top videos on other channels.

[@davehumpleby3440]

Ha, ha! You're only human.

[@DHall-xz7ke]

Lack of video length gave it away. I feel like that everytime I take my dog out but 10 mins later you're warm as toast if you walk fast enough.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

Husband and I love you, you're so brilliantly human when you show your flaws 💕 and mishaps. It's a huge part of what makes you a genuinely true-life Legend.

[@eddyarundale1566]

[@antoniom.andersen6704]

Best laid plans. If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans. There are probably many more but yeah, things don't always go the way we want them to. Thanks for the beautiful views.

[@gordongault6886]

Don't put yourself in danger for the sake of a thumb up....

[@CristiNeagu]

Makes me think back to the video about the lack of forests. Of course, there's upsides and downsides. A forest means less to no wind. But it also means widowmaker branches.

[@WilliamPobjoy]

🎉🎉👍👍👍

[@Conflictofinterest902]

You’re still out mate, even if you didn’t leave the car. Better than sat on the sofa (actually it’s not as that’s exactly where I am now - my sofa, not yours lol)

[@TheBarnesLife-Sb]

What’s that hat of yours?

[@chrishomer]

Been having those 1 out of 10 motivation levels too. Might get out for an overnighter tomorrow. Maybe. Not a fan of wind

[@cwoollard1]

Hiking and camping should be enjoyable and fun. You don’t need to go out in stupid weather like Wildbeare does!

I went on a fortnight backpacking trip, and emptied my pack to find I’d forgotten all my socks - my feet were torn to ribbons by the second day. Another time I forgot my torch, doing a nature poo isn’t the same in absolute pitch darkness!!!
