What’s Stopping You Going on Outdoor Adventures? - Overcome the Obstacles

[@LordMelbury1953]

Well I have a disability so that stops me, but I can live vicariously through yours and others videos. The more people you can inspire could lead to more KZbin videos to watch for those of us unable to do what you do.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Hi Kevin - it’s great we can share the outdoors on u tube, and I hope you enjoy watching. I think more and more people are filming now too and making better videos.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Many of us are planning new adventures in the new year so I thought why not share a few thoughts to hopefully encourage us all to get out more. Hope it helps someone. Please do share your tips to get out the front door 👍

[@h.bsfaithfulservant4136]

Great advice on getting outdoors Richard 👍…. although looking at how muddy Xiwang got I couldn’t help wondering how you managed to get back indoors …😳😁😉

[@DayTripperAdventures]

😆It was full bath for him as soon as he home

[@Behindstage]

I agree with all this, just do it, don’t feel embarrassed..get out the house as often as possible, staying at home is nothing but a mental health disaster,my adventure is with photography,walking miles and cycling for miles, find what you enjoy and do it.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Nick you’re right no point in worrying too much just do a bit of prep and get out the front door 👍

[@John-fq7uo]

I just finished an improptu stealth camp in minus zero {F}. -40 F was the low one night. I certainly apperciate what Steve Wallis goes through. Great video Richard!!!!

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Well done John that sounds very adventurous, I hope you had the best warm kit

[@SQWIB]

Richard, if this isn't motivation to get outdoors, I don't know what is. Being prepared for the conditions you will be in is important, but at the same time, "Don't pack your Fears", a lot of folks will pack the kitchen sink. My main motivation is watching others on their adventures like Richard from Day tripper. 😊 I'm sure this video will inspire folks to #getoutdoors 👍 Thanks for sharing and congrats again on the Christmas challenge win.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks so much SQWIB you are an inspiration to me, we encourage each other. The media encourages everyone to cower in fear at home. We have to rise up and fight for our freedom and get out more 👍

[@SQWIB]

@@DayTripperAdventures well said my friend 👍

[@HiddenHammock]

Get motivated🔥

[@DayTripperAdventures]

It can be tough sometimes Josh, but each time you get through the front door 🚪 is always worth it

[@circusoddity1]

As of the end of December my father had a stroke. I was planning on going out we're just waiting for one Amazon delivery of my second wool blanket and I was going to head out on an overnighter the next weekend however, 3 days before the delivery. My dad had a stroke. I now can't do it. He is showing so e improvement so hopefully I will still go however it will be a few months now. Sometimes that's how it goes.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Sorry to hear that, life is tough things happen and come from nowhere. Some things are more important but glad he is getting better. There will hopefully better weather by the time you go out

#GETOUTDOORS

[@tweedyoutdoors]

Thanks for posting this, it's an important discussion to have. For me the biggest hurdle to overcome is the bit you got to at the end there - the guilt of abandoning my family. Neither my wife nor my daughter are outdoorsy types. So it's always solo expeditions for me - which I don't mind, apart from the guilt about the dereliction of duty! As you say though, a caring family ought to understand that stuff like this is good for all round wellbeing!

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks yes it’s important to agree in the family how long and how often works being away. I stated out by getting up very early Saturday mornings and hiking somewhere for around 4 hours getting back for lunchtime hopefully but as you know these hikes always take longer than the think when you get lost etc. another thought is how present are we when we are all together at home? With all the phones, TV and distractions. I try to build up credit in my family account by making sure there are outings together of other sorts. It’s finding a balance. Great video on Dartmoor issue by the way I saw it this morning 👍

[@torquewrench7]

Great video. Very well put across. You are very inspirational.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Paul hopefully it helps people get out more

[@vincebdaniel5324]

A good New Years message. Experience has taught me too that the most difficult part of the journey is the first step. Fear is paralyzing like the boogeyman in the dark. Often you find in reality he's a puffed-up nothing like the fear of what others think.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

That’s right the mind plays tricks on us and makes everything frightening but as soon as you get out it’s fine

[@HardyTempestsWildCampsandWalks]

Number 6! Biggest stumbling block for my adventures, feel such guilt and selfishness when I take that time. Know in my heart that I need that time to be strong for everyone. Thanks, great video. Hardy

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Hardy it’s finding a balance somehow. I don’t feel too bad if it’s say a Friday night and I get back early ish on Saturday morning. In winter it’s more difficult

[@markhitchman8700]

Great video pal, you have said what a lot of people think, and what stops people just going out and giving it a try, love your vids, keep em coming.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Mark it’s challenging sometimes but worth the effort getting outdoors

[@BourneOutside]

Good little video to help others new, get their heads around what we do and, encourage them to get out too. We must arrange something again, Richard. May have a good place 😉👍🏼

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Tim. Walking the dog is a good time to make a video. I just thought there are things we can share to hopefully help people get outdoors more. Send me some dates I’m there

[@ACE19688]

Good advice. you're an inspiration to me.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks BLS

[@rollingstrongwithrazo1915]

Well said and very inspirational words. I’m looking forward to your 2023 videos. God bless you. 😎❤️🇬🇧🇵🇭

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Dad 👍❤️🇬🇧😄

[@Tracer3]

What a great video TY and expressing your thoughts. Absolutely my intention for 2023 is more outdoor adventures. Ty for your motivation.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Tracer I’m pleased it helped

[@jackkat8825]

Awesome chat. You have a beautiful soul and spirit. Ty for encouragement.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Jack

[@sipapito]

The guilt of leaving the family while I'm having fun, It takes a long time to get stuff ready, then pack, plan your route, gather all your thoughts, and actually go out the front door, the problem is I go through the front door only to forget something and have to come back feeling worse😂

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Yes it can be tough and those last minute things are the worst. It’s best to have a list as there are so many items east to forget

[@sipapito]

@@DayTripperAdventures You right I got to start doing a list maybe you should do a video how you go about that.

[@grantswheelstohills]

Thanks Richard, always Interested In hearing your houghts. I've made a few changes riding to and from work as much as I can between 5-22 miles depending on if I use a train. Its a way getting outside during the week. Off to the lakes Monday for a belated Christmas break break ( as I worked a lot of it). So I have a few ideas for this year. Catch up soon. Atb Grant.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Hi Grant, that’s the best if you can make part of your routine. Enjoy the lakes hope weather improves take care in the mountains. Yes we must catch up soon

[@annenewton5403]

All great advice , sounds and getting use to them are important. Go to a campsite for the first time.Yes you learn by mistakes.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Hopefully helps someone somewhere get out more

[@Upinthills68]

Brilliant vid talking about all the things we have to bear in mind, I have a supportive wife luckily my only bug bear is full time employment , however I still get out hiking at the weekends. Thanks again Richard 👍

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Hi Richard, I know what you mean about full time work stresses, but for me I think getting out where possible at weekends brings a good balance. If I was out camping all the time it would not be as special

[@hArtyTruffle]

I forgot there are campsites in London. Great idea for a 1st practice run. Thanks Richard 👍🏼 Very cute dog 🫶🏻

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Yes I think there are three campsite. Those Happy Days recently van camped at a couple they looked good

[@hArtyTruffle]

@@DayTripperAdventures yes, that’s where I first saw campsites in London… then completely forgot. I think it’s because I associated them with vans… I’m not too far from any of the London campsites so I will certainly do my practice runs this year at a campsite 👍🏼

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Sounds good

[@littleBIGGRiggs]

Nice hike & very motivating. Love your dog

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thank you he is the star of the channel 👍

[@paulhoughton5266]

Hi Richard, extremely well put. Will be forwarding your video to a few people as you put it across better than I could. I have a sense of adventure that was triggered by my Father getting a job with Aur Canada in the early 80s and I could get free travel on them. At 18 I went to LA from London via Toronto on my own and went travelling all over Southwest USA, the adventure bug was born. Planning on cycling The Hebridean Way in May

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Paul I think when you have traveled at younger age it opens your mind to experience new things and never leaves you. Hebridean way sounds awesome

[@Jay-N-Night]

Thank you for doing this video. I'm pretty sure most if not all of us has delt with one of these obstacles you've mentioned. It was watching you tube videos that got me motivated to get out. Great video Tripper!!

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Jay yes it is not an easy hobby but worth staying with it. It would have been easy to quit after the first sleepless night but I still enjoyed that in a strange way

[@Hopped777]

For me it’s wild camping in the same spot each time. Often I’m too tired to think because of work pressure, so I’ve found a secluded spot and I know where to pitch, what log to sit on, where to safely park the car etc.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Sounds great GJ a secret escape. Beats a second home

[@BasicStealthcamping]

great motivation here, i know you will inspire people to get out there and spend time outside! some good advice here for myself too. cheers

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks I think there are a lot of factors to consider before embarking on this hobby as it needs preparation and support of family

[@drew4773]

Great advice brother .. looks like you have even inspired my other half to go out

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Wow that’s great Drew. I think it’s important to share each other’s interests if possible but it is n’t always possible. But maybe there is a compromise somewhere like when I took my wife to the shepherds hut 😆

[@markrichardson5701]

Excellent advice. Planning my next trip out soon, just finding the time, life is so busy these days.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Hi Mark, sometimes you just have to try shorter outings even a couple of hours but it gets easier in the spring with lighter mornings and evenings coming

[@adamreeves1207]

Perfect video mate thanks a lot for all the ones you do, defo gets me motivated to get out and about even on these dismal winter days 😅keep up the good work and happy new year 👍

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks Adam. It is harder this time of year but thankfully spring is coming so it’ll be easier

[@DaveGoodman1959]

That was brilliant Richard, very interesting. Happy hiking for 23. 👍🙏 I have lots of plans Richard if my knees and legs can take it. A couple of weeks hiking in Scotland in spring then Leicester to Somerset in summer and finish the Cambrian Way with my Son in law in the Autumn. Best wishes.

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Sounds great Dave. My knees are not as good after last years C2C and my fall but I’m ok but am trying to be more realistic with long hikes this year. I may do East Highland Way or something in Scotland. Maybe it’s not the long distance that is important but enjoying shorter sections

[@DaveGoodman1959]

@@DayTripperAdventures I have started walking regularly with a local group Leicestershire Footpath Association, they do about 6 miles with a pint and meal afterwards. Also I do the same with a cycling group but thats about 40 miles. They are much more about the social side of it which is really nice. I still have the big ambitions but I'm realistic so shall set out and see on those. Of course its not really about what you do, it could be anything as is somthing different for all. 🙏👍😊

[@stephenmansell9024]

Best video I’m planning to get out and about but just don’t know how this video is really helpful many thanks need to break my confusion and do it

Well done Richard. Thanks for the motivational thoughts. I’ve been working on my gear for the last three months. I think I’m all sorted now. Getting excited about getting back out. Cheers! ⛺️💫

Great - winter is a good time to prepare spring is coming

nice motivational video

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Thanks I hope you are motivated 👍😆

[@eugenedarvell8470]

Hi great video .I would like your view on the High Court ruling part of Dartmoor you know I have to get permission to old camp. Do you think this is the end of wild camping in the UK

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Hi Eugene thanks. No if they cant see you and you leave no trace then how would they find you. I think thermal blankets to stop thermal imaging drones finding you may be a good thing for us to look into. I think it’s just the beginning of more stealth camping 👍

[@jacobravenwood7968]

Extreme mobility and breathing issues from chronic incurable conditions So no I can't get out and stealth camp or even regular camping is out of the question unless I am going to hire and pay someone to carry all my gear for me and set it up Etc. That's why I live Vicariously throw you and other channels. I do go out with family members RV camping 2 or 3 times a year but that's my extent. 😏

[@DayTripperAdventures]

Hi Jacob, it’s great we can share adventures on you tube as we get to experience so many different adventures. It’s great you can go on RV adventures and you must be able to get to some beautiful places.

[@davidmitchell1379]

Want to watch stealth camping not taking doggy for a walk and talking to it for half video

[@DayTripperAdventures]

There will be more of that but this channel has always been about encouraging people to go outdoors more. Stealth camping is part of it but not every video

[@johnschannel449]

l watch your videos so l dont have to do it myself , l can feel like l am enjoying the outdoors from my couch. big screen high definition TV its just like being there with you

[@DayTripperAdventures]

An interactive experience 👍
