Damien lad! Brilliant to see you out! Sick of hanging around the house. Couple of months ago you inspired me to get out and do an 'adventure' at least once a week. I was living the dream. Mega long hikes, kayaking, wild camping, camp fires and wood stoves, all gone to s**t now! Keep doing what you are doing......... its keeping us going! Cheers Duane.
Hopefully the lockdown will end soon, thanks for your comment. Damian.
Great to see you Damian. We all need cheering up just now and you're just the job for that. God bless you mate great video.
It really makes sense to go on a bicycle. You can go farther and see more. I used to bike all over when I was younger. I camped with the bike rides as well. Had so much fun. Good Video.
Lmao o my god , them looks you give us makes me cry with laughter,
You’re just what any good doctor would have ordered in times such as these. I was so glad to see the notification pop up of this most recent vlog. I picked up some more useful tips as well as enjoyed seeing a man well within his elements, just being himself. Bless you and may the road continue to rise up to you, Damien.
Finally, someone does a bikefishing video right! For a test run, your kit was very impressive. It took me awhile to get it boiled down to almost the same things you have there. You made a good case for the fuel tabs too. It's so humid here I may switch out my bushbox style stove for the tabs. Would work better than trying to pre-dry tinder in my jacket in wet/humid conditions. Hope to see more of these videos....funny stuff man! Keep up the good work for us housebound gumbies!
What A Wonderful post* Loved every minute. Thanks for taking the time & effort to share* You never fail to make me smile/giggle with the wee funny expression you pull :-) Just love it*
Good to see a video from you again... Hope all is well.. Stay Safe... Cheers from Texas 🇺🇲
Bloody helll not seen you in yonks.....hope you and the family are good.......video, f....n brilliant glad to see you your still in the land of the living yah wee bugger....to long sir. Stay safe and healthy bud. 👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
great adventure...lovely setting by the river...bet you slept like a baby to that sound of running water.
i thought about the sun newspaper when you said use a rag for wiping. great video by the way, i do a lot of bike packing.
I am really loving your channel mate. Keep up the great work 👍
Great video, you always give me a giggle. 👍
Those expressions from 0.56- 1.04 make me laugh all the time...lol
Despite the fact that I've lived a few miles away in Newbiggin since 2014, I've never been in to Bothal woods. It looks like a good spot for a wild camp. Great video.
Another great vid as always. Really enjoy the campfire time. Stay safe and keep the vids coming
Can't believe how much stuff you had packed away, great vid 👍
enjoy your blogs so much , great seeing you out doing a bit of wild camping , we knows it makes sense
Really appreciate your awesome video.Thank you ,I've been looking to wild camp for ages .I will be going to Bothal asap looks lovely Damian x
Glad I was helpful, thanks for watching.
Thanks" brother, I needed that, you cheered me up. I totally enjoyed the video.
Come across your Channel whilst on lockdown and have now binged watched all your videos. Have to say .... class act mate, good on you. You've made a shitty situation into a really enjoyable one, some great tips, hints, and reviews along with some awesome campouts all done with humour, honesty and a genuine love out the outdoors ..... keep on making the videos you don't realise what difference they make in peoples lives who can't get out about like would want too. After all this is over I'm sure more people will get out and do some wild camping because you know it makes sense ;)
Thank you for watching and the kind words, it means alot.
Great to see you back champ. Stay safe.
What a lovely place to have close to home for camping. Those bags looked a great bargain. Thanks for sharing your exploits, just what is needed when I can't get out. Starting to get frustrated at not being able to get out into the countryside, but I know it's for the greater good. I'll just have to suck it up for a while longer yet, as we all will. Atb and stay safe. Shaun
We are all in the same boat dude so not alone. Thanks for commenting and stay safe also.
Great video damien. Loved it, keep em coming.
Great bike set up you have there. Surprising how little you need to take. Very good idea with the water bottle and hanging hook. Really enjoyed watching. Stay save. Steve.
Good to see you out and about again, lovely spot
So those elusive toilet roll head for the woods to do a bit of wild camping, who knew. Great video bro ya looking well. Stay safe up your way
Good to see your film on your camp trip again, welcome while the lockdown is in force.

Hi mate, hope you and your family are all safe and well. Looking forward to more videos when this is over.
Regards Wayne

Great to see you and that your able to get here in New Jersey they just shut down all the trails so I can’t even hike now! Crazy times we are in stay safe cheers!
We are now restricted in getting out, hopefully it will end soon. Thanks for watching.
Thought the opening sequence was the start of a new 70s bushcraft cop show, Geordie and hutch ,bloody fantastic,
Love a bike packing video thanks for sharing mate stay safe out there. 👍👌🚴♂️🏕🔥
Nice wild camp mate! I got a cheap used bike not too long ago to be able to go a bit further with out the car and do a bit of camping. You found some of that white gold I see, lucky bugger!
Good to see you back!
Good one Damo, can't wait to get out for a wild camp! Might have to make do with the back garden though for now..
Take care bud, Mark
Great to see you back again mate
I'm new to your videos just wanted to say I really enjoy them! The craic be's good too!! Im really interested in Starting to Wild Camping! I have a couple of Tarps to start just need to get the rest! Keep the videos coming
Brilliant mate. Long time sub first time commenting. I've been really toying with the idea of a bike upgrade, mine is 20 year old and heavy AF. You've cemented my mind on it. Anyway, great to see you just cracking on in these tough times. You know it makes sense.
You can get some decent bikes mail order from the likes of Wiggle and Chain Reaction cycles. I got my Vitus Sentier from Wiggle, it was cheap, just before the new model came out and got it for a good price. Thanks for watching.
@@Fell_Wanderer haha mate im watching bike reviews right this second. not sure about an electric bike cos o the price. wish io could test run one to see how much weight (gear) it can take. Thanks dude im gonna check them stores out
Another great one ceep them coming m8
He's back, areet Damien, cheers for the video mate, stay healthy 👍
Loved it mate ive just got a DD frontline hammock did a overnighter a few days ago right next to the viaduct few cheese burgers cooked on a small fire was mint pal when this lockdown is over we need to have a one nighter mate ..
Nice to see you out and and about Damian, I couldn't belive all the gear you could get in your three bags you think of everything, I've been in my local woods scouting about looking at tree and unusual branch breaks I was inspired by your Wildman investigations, nice find by the way some of the white stuff 🤣🤣🤣🚲❤
I will have to use one sheet at a time with one side for each trip to the toilet to make the roll last longer, its too valuable to waste. Thanks for watching.
@@Fell_Wanderer 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤ stay safe you and your family 🙏🙏
Looking forward to more of your vids.
Cracking video Damien mate nice set up on the bike pmsl you finding a toilet roll 🤣🤣🤣good to see you back out stay safe atvb Jimmy 😎😎
Thanks Jimmy, I try to bring something different to the channel with each video. Atb, Damian.
Gave me great ideas there and another good funny video. Hope you and the family are all okay. This weekend the police are out looking for the Toilet role Yetti and fines will be given!!!! Take care until the next one.
Brilliant ,beautiful spot, could have used the river bidet 🤣, your kit is a great minimalist setup , dragon gel a bit less smelly 👍first time bikepack too! , bikepackin is top of my to do list this year too , hopefully south downs way , better on me hips !cheers 👍😀
Enjoyed this
Great to see another video from you.
Thanks Damien, the world is OK again now that fellwanderer is out and about all be it in pre lock footage, so glad that you bivied well. All the best Harry
Been a while... Good to have you back brother
That look you give always makes me laugh.
Safe camping lad.
Ive bought all 3 too and fit nice on my road bike..not sure if i will do bike packing yet (just may use them to commute to work for overnighters) but the front bag will also be handy for attaching extra to a ruck sack on normal camps..Saddle bag be great for doing bike events in future Nice what you have got into all 3.... See the Lidl sleeping mat is still holding up well after a few camps too. ATB Mark
They are excellent value so couldn't resist buying all three. The air mat is still a pain to deflate but is comfortable and still works well. Thanks for watching.
Man thats a sweet bike, total ripper. You done good choosing that one. Hope you can get out and enjoy yourself.
I met half the neighborhood out on quads and snowmobiles at the weekend, all drunk as fuck :D
Camping season soon here, thanks for uploading.
excellent vid mate
Hahahaha, that look is hilarious. I like your style mate, looks like you're living the dream. It doesn't look like you're taking any notice of lockdown but Hey who are you gonna harm out there on ya tod? Stay safe.
That video was just prior to lockdown, I will be out soon though, as the Wanderer is allowed out again, thanks for watching.
Entertaining as usual. It makes sense.😀
Brill video mate 🤟
great video, Its good to experiment.
Great video Damien, lovely spot too, unbelievable amount of stuff you got packed away. Even room for a monkeys blood in there hahaha you might even find one next time out, stay safe
Canny video mate ,
thanks for sharing mate
ATB Jimmy
I just found your channel last night and Im currently binge watching your videos backwards. It turns out my mate watches your videos as I remember him telling me about you sleeping at Midford castle a night before we went to it on a dog walk. Good content mate keep up the good work. Oh and TH-cam did recommend this video to me so I know google is spying on my Strava app haha.
Nice one Damian enjoyed that to short need more. atb Chris
I could have made it longer but I cut out most of the waffling, thanks for watching Chris, atb.
Damien i have seen all your vids m8 every time u make me laugh i must have mist the Glencoe one and seen it a cupple of weeks before the lockdown i had just Finnished nightshift and 4am i woke the hole house up laughing when u started going on about the blow up doll that really cracked me up . Stay safe m8
Nice one, those bike bags were like a Tardis...
Bargain those bags mate ..looking fwd to seeing more vlogs.👍
I've often thought of wild camping in Bothal Woods, as I live in Newbiggin by the Sea, but I keep thinking that I'd get caught. Great video.
Not many people come to the waters edge, you sometimes see a fisherman. You can camp further back up in the woods and noone will bother you.
Glad to see you sir
A while ago since i saw you as I was walking across America...
But am back in Holland and can lean back and see your adventures
FB kayak cobber
Anyway still raining in the UK!
Lidl?? I reckon you bought those bags on Gallifrey due to the amount of stuff inside!! At one point I thought you were going to pull the kitchen sink🤣🤣🤣
Another top vid from one of my fave wild campers👍
I've started using a toilet brush. If you want to keep the weight down, just cut the handle off. A bit rough, but it works a treat and keeps the piles at bay.
Nice one hope your safe and well what you doing on lock down 😎👍👍brew crew
I am able to get out for walks with the dog and exercise on the bike with my son, other than that I'm stuck in doing nothing much except watching youtube.
Nice one , great camp new subscriber
Thanks for subbing, atb, Damian.
Great video bring n the next one
Great stuff, good health to you. if you like red hot noodles i have some great Sichuan ones you can have mate.
brilliant idea Damien, let me share with you a story about Black gorilla gaffa tape. Had planned a long distance trip with my bike a few month back, got up nice and early to get off to a good start, opened the shed to find my bike had a flattie. i got the wheel of shit hot and brought it into the house, slung it up on the kitchen bench knocking bacon sarnies off the plates and all sorts. Got the tyre off and put a brand new innertube in. Was is that much of a rush i must of got the innertube caught under the beading of the tyre when started pumping it up it was loosing air as quick as i was pumping, took it all apart again and tried to patch it this time..... long story short after hour an half of messing about i had a lightbulb moment.... i remembered the gorilla tape adverts and thought fkn ell this stuff can do anything, so i used it as an innertube patch and it worked flawlessly no waiting about not fucking about pumped up a charm firsttime and hasnt went down yet in 4 month. touch wood mind, cause now ive said it il go look and itll be on the bastard rim
quick tip for any enthusiast bikepacker.... you can get another two innertubes on your bike without effecting the riding weight so much. Wrap the innertubes around the hubs of your wheels with zip ties,
Thanks for the tips, Gorilla tape is better than any other duct tape Ive used. I small 1" roll is in with my bike gear always. I like how it can be peeled off and reused, its so sticky.
Excellent 👍🏻
Love your vids that stupid look you give at the beginning cracks me up. Stay safe love from costa del sol Gateshead.😂😂😯😯
I stuck a rack and panniers on mine, carry tons of crap now :o
Bags look cracking and as yer say, Lidl and Aldi do brilliant stuff at down to Earth prices. 👍🏻
Superb and that face on the bike 🤣
Hopefully I may tag along with the other lads one night 👍
Had a mint camp Friday in the thunder and lightning ,nobody about 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Ha Ha nice one mate 🤘
Nice video, I ride those woods quite often, also on a Vitus :)
Vitus make some decent bikes for the money. I got mine from Wiggle just before the new model came out so was a bit cheaper. Bothal wood is a lovely place, wish it was bigger though. Thanks for watching.
Nice one mate.
Great video! Interesting choice of campsite though. Could get a bit wet in the wrong conditions. I picked up one of the handlebar bags from Lidl, I thought the roll bag was excellent but the carrier where it attaches on to the handlebar was a bit of a weak point. The stitching starting to show after only a few minutes use. I'll get the sewing kit out to strengthen it and hopefully it will do the job. Stay safe. YKIMS.
Mine seem ok so you may just have a defective bag. They might not take much weight and I onlyhave the light items on the bars for better handling. Thanks for watching and stay safe also, Damian.

My review on my blog. :) airdrierambler.wordpress.com/2020/05/04/crivit-handlebar-roll-bag/l
Nice one Damian. Thought you might've been getting an ebike when I first saw you whizzing along. Indomie noodles are lush, they come with about 3 packets of seasoning lol. ATB
Thanks I will have a look at them, dehydrated food is the way forward but need to taste nice, thanks for watching
I have the same inflatable matt they're a bit slim but good enough and good quality good buy for £14
Superb! Thank you - atb snack.
