You should be very proud of what you have accomplished here… Always love your content - such high quality and planning from someone who is clearly knows what they are doing. Wish you and your kids the very best for 2023!
Great channel. Always good honest content. I will be 71 this next month and after being away from camping for over 30 years, yours and other channels like TOGR have got me out there once again. Thanks again and Happy New Year!
i still don't think its quite hit home for him yet people.... Chris theres hundreds or even thousands of us that don't just watch you for entertainment, thats what other camping channels are for... we are here because we give a large amount of shit about you and your well being. Your are a very grounded and honest feeling man and you have inspired many. THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything you do... You and the fellas are a proper great load of lads..... I believe i speak for many in saying we are here to Physically help when you fall on the hardest of times, just like you have for us probably without even knowing it... Thank you good sir
A few years ago I wanted to buy the vango tempest tent. I found your review and it helped me decide to buy it. Then your videos popped up and I subbed and watched the back catalog. I enjoyed watching them and still do. I found places local to me thanks to you and the others. I've walked the moors, the woods and pendle hill and stayed out the night thanks to your videos. I've taken the kids out multi times and shown them these places too. Your FB group is hands down the best community group I've been a part of and I'm glad all from a tent review I've now got you all subbed. Each member of mcm during the last few years has helped me get out and about. Shown me new things and the videos aren't click bait or try hard styles. Happy New year Chris, hope 2023 is a good year for you!
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you for your excellent videos. I started following you in 2022 and found your videos very helpful and informative in giving me the confidence to start solo wild camping. Hope you’re sorted in your private life and I would like to wish u all the very best for 2023. Keep up the excellent work 👍
I wouldn't apologise for a lack of videos mate I have just out of interest looked back and you did about 70 odd videos in 2021 and 40 odd in 2022 that's one hell of an effort mate . Every video I have watched is always great too
Thanks for the videos you posted mate, your channel and some others like Bushman etc have helped me get through the last three years of what I suspect was a similar situation to yours. They provided some escapism and although Im not out wild camping yet I hope to get started next year. Hope things continue to improve for you and yours.
Its physically visible how much happier you are! Good on you and long may it continue. First camping channel I started watching in 2016. Still here and look forward to more 👍 ATB mate 👍
Great video mate and glad you are enjoying life a lot more now doing what you love as well as having very happy little ones. Keep up the good work and ATB matey for 2023. Take care pal
Someone will come along one day from a most unexpected direction, keep you chin up. You are not on your own, been there. ATB have a healthy happy New Year. 🍻Cheers
I always say (sorry if I have said it before) that you have to endure bad times to fully appreciate good times and real nice that the wheel has tuned and you are fully enjoying life now. I am a big fan of army surplus, yes big bulky and heavy but real good gear. Great tips of the novice camper and the not so novice as well. Happy 2023 to you all, and loved the Blues outro, cheers Alan
Great video as usual and content, I have picked up a few good tips watching your videos, I don't wild camp as I am 68 but I do get to Sykeside a few times in the year and a few walks up in the lakes and places, got my camping booked again for the TT races so that's something to look forward to 🏕️, Happy New year Chris and I hope you have a good en. 🍻
Yes peace and nature are great self healing for the soul switching off from the modern world to focus on life well that's my take on it ,even few hours walking in woods and to sit in nature awhile
Had some unforgettable camps this year chris cheers for being a part of that marra, roll on 2023 good days ahead, The worst part for me is your mackem/geordie accent but we'll work on that 🤣🤣👍cheers chris all the best to you and the family see you in 23 😃🍻👍🏕
I enjoy the tails from the tent buddy. Glad your back on track my man. Yiu know you can count on your mates any time, any place and anywhere buddy. Some top tips for beginner cold weather camping on this one Chris. All the very best and ill cya soon pal 👍
Cheers for all the vid's Chris - i've enjoyed watching loads of the back catalogue stuff you made. Glad to hear you are more sorted now, life can throw a spanner every now and then can't it (putting it politely...) I even bought a 2nd hand tent off e-bay off one of your recommendations! Just so you know if it turns out to be shite or collapses I will do the whole Liam Neeson thing on yo' ass!!🤜🤣😂
Yes Chris you've had a bit of a time of it I think we all realised that and you've come through it that's the main thing, you and the lads have been an inspiration to many, keep positive mate 👍
Nice one Chris really happy to hear ul have less time to make content, it comes as a relief to many longterm viewers ;) ...... hang on, doesnt sound quite right but u know what i mean lol .... ATB to u and urs for 2023
I've been there mate, exactly the same scenario as you....... I'm probably a couple of years ahead of where you are now, and believe me when I say this, and yes, it's a cliché, but it does get better. The relationship I have with my ex & the kids is better than it has been for a long, long time...... It's different, but far better than it was. I think the one thing we have in common is that we did our therapy in the Great Outdoors, the Healing Power of Nature. Good on you mate, you've put out some cracking content this year, I'm sure that 2023 will be better for us all. ATB
Mate my dad (god rest his soul) drank red wine cold. So wrong! Listen if you ever fancy a bottle (at my expense) we could meet maybe at spoons on Lime St. Throw me a text if your up for it. 🍷🍷🍷
Great to hear things are looking up for you 😊 The tips are well worth remembering too!!! I had a very close call last night almost getting stuck/lost in very bad weather conditions on top of Old Man of Coniston, it can be very dangerous and death CAN happen in extreme circumstance, be careful!
That was great Chris, I'm glad life is on the up for you 👍 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours. I'll keep watching your content as long as you make it. All the best 👍⛺⛰️
Happy new year Chris & may 2023 bring lots of happiness, health & red wine 🤣 and magical memories to look back on in years to come. Thanks again for your brilliant chanel and the content you continually put out for us lot,it's immensely appreciated. 🍻 🥾⛺️📸. ❄️☃️❄️.
I dont know what happened but have a good idea mate. I love your vids and happy to watch whatever you put out there! Always good content and in tune with the outdoors. Love it! And you have given me an idea for cheese and biccies on my next camp out. Bloody love Applewood! Happy New Year to you and yours xxx Thanks for all you do
Chris I would like to think I was at least there at the start of your Channel and on the whole everyone including myself has Noticed some of the Changes you have Had to Endure to get where you are Currently🙏 That said we all know your Private life is of course your own which may spill out on to your channel at some point whether on purpose or not as no one can deny when someone’s experiencing Pain and also Feeling depressed that will show in your Actions or Personality. You and your Channel have came on leaps and bounds which is Amazing but I always knew we would all be here with you after that growth. Nothing more to Say Chris other than just keep Doing what your Doing and Change for no one!!! Your not a Bad lad for a Scouser😜Geordies like me know the Genuine Article and your It Mate.👍🥾⛺️
Hi Chris. Great video as always. I have really enjoyed watching all of your videos over the last couple of years. You are a great guy. Hope 2023 will be a good year for you and your family. Happy New year. ATB ❤️😊🎊🎉👍🙏
Happy New Year! Thanks to watching videos by yourself, Bushman and Wildbeare I'm doing my first wild camp next year, can't wait. I especially love the Pendle videos, its my stomping ground, I'm so lucky. Anyhoo thanks for the inspiration, looking forward to watching more of your adventures next year.
Not easy to talk about things like that pal.We all have complex lives an us men keep that well hidden. Always enjoyed the channel I'm out for my first wild camp very soon still wondering how you keep the pack weight down with 18 cans in the pack can hardly get out the door. Can't do a wild camp in back garden in Wythenshawe especially how much I've spent have no clothes left on me back ha All the best Chris keep up the good work
I am really happy for you Chris because the world we currently live in dictates to us all in a fascist style and if we have opinions or alternative views and ideas or even have suggestions we are looked down upon and discredited by our peers and even underlings...we must obey or we get destroyed.I appreciated what you said about gear because in my era there was no comparison sites or even choice really...what was available even if it was good or bad or light or heavy our pocket money dictated what we could afford and we just made do with what we could afford and made it work , end of. .We all mucked in and shared and cared for each other as well as took the piss out of each other on a constant basis and we got through and had amazing times as well as epic horrible times and from that we created memories that live on 45 years later although i am the only one out of all my old mates who is still crazy enough to get out there in all weathers ...New Years Eve out on my tod in my tent is a priceless situation and the following week i will receive texts telling me that i am mad by my old mates who are obese and skint because they spend all their spare cash on getting drunk and eating shite and going on holiday for a week to some all inclusive shit hole eating and drinking the cheapest shite food that the hotel can get its hands on to maximise proffits . They spend more money following Manchester United than i do on Hillebergs but i am definitely the mad one who is not normal :) Thank god i am not normal ATB brother and God bless and have an awesome 23.
Cheers Olan - I'm lucky being single in that I can generally do what I want, when I want - I'd much rather be in a tent, enjoying the solitude than lying by a pool all day! All the best for 2023 pal. Chris
Been there myself Chris onwards and upwards for 2023. Positivity is the way forward 👍 ⛺️
Nice one John - all the best mate
