- WILD CAMPING and SWIM
Loving life’s journey reflecting and introspecting utilising nature. I’m constantly intrigued by the psychology of people and learning about myself. I thoroughly enjoy the process and love self growth and understanding. It’s a short life and I’m making mine count. Own it!

Wow this video start was like looking and listening in the mirror. I am burnt out with TH-cam. Iv tried so hard and got nowhere. I am single and def a Sigma Male. Decided to have a month off as well, the amount of effort it takes and the lack of success affects me badly. So this video start was just like me. I prefer to be alone but at 51 I know clock is ticking, and finding a slim attractive girl who enjoys the great out doors is nigh on impossible. Hopefully I feel the same way you do after a month off. Not sure if I even want to carry on, hoping it would change my life.. nope youtube has made me miserable. I thinking of the Helliberg Soluo. Subbed.
Well only a Sigma Male will truly understand a Sigma Male👊. I never really mention being Sigma but I feel so lucky to be the human I am and I am thankful to my parents for bringing me up well and trauma free. I’ve always said I have happy blood and being Sigma is a massive part of it. Being able to introspect and move on in life growing positively, regardless of any external negativity/abuse, is definitely a gift. Sometimes, as you know, you just need that time to understand yourself and other people to recalibrate. I thoroughly love the process and moving on stronger and wiser is as I said… freeing and liberating! Keep going my friend.
I'm subbed to both of you and have often thought you 2 doing a video together would be good. I understand you both like to do things solo but you appear to have a lot in common.
Does she have to be 'slim and attractive' though? Maybe just stretch the scale a little to include fun, engaging, able to hold an intelligent conversation...? As you get older you realise that slim and attractive isn't the be all to end all, it helps for sure to hope we can all find ourselves an Henry Cavill or Angelina Jolie (sorry, not sure what men see as attractive these days), but at some point reality has to set in, we have to start looking at the Gollums.... or we have to accept singledom until the end. 😜
Sorry, didn't mean to barg in and interrupt the sigma bonding.... I'll be off now. 🤣
@@CaroleFrenchFox You can't help what your drawn too. My friend likes large over weight girls, nobody would ever comment of his tastes, we all like different things, I prefer brunettes, he likes blondes.
.
Iv always thought there has to be some attraction other wise the eyes drift.
.
I will not be with a girl who has tons of fake tan, huge eyelashes and is obsessed with insta and likes. They are never faithful.
I would rather be alone as I have been for 12 years. Can't remember what a woman feels like !
@@CaroleFrenchFoxtotally agree. I’ve been blessed to have had two wonderful women in my my first the mother two my three now grown up boys we were together for about 27 years, still on extremely good terms. Now with my new partner. Although we don’t share all the same hobbies both have been very understanding of many of my no doubt shortfalls. I do need to remind myself sometimes how lucky I have been.
To answer your question, as no-one else seems to have done 🙂. Yes, native bluebells are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981), from being dug up or removed from the countryside, and the bulbs and seeds of wild bluebells can’t be traded. So camping on top of them is not illegal but it is a bad idea as they can take years to recover from being trampled on or crushed. If the leaves get damaged they can’t photosynthesise and that has knock-on effects for the future health of the plant, reproduction etc. This only applies to native bluebells , not the Spanish ones or hybrids of the two, that are increasingly common in our countryside and look a bit different to our own species. Aside from that, good to see you both back in the game and in the outdoors, carry on camping!👍
Awesome thank you for the info👊
Since losing my job 2-months ago due to no support empathy from work when my dear mum was diagnosed with cancer this has caused and changed my happy lifestyle in the outdoors and sadly the things that made me feel alive has been taken away due to lack of funds and care for my mum. I spent every bit of spare time out in the Lake District mountains and Scotland mountains ect all this has gone now what made me feel
Alive. However, all is not lost as I can come here and watch Bushman and Blue do the things that I used to love with a passion I just hope the depression doesn’t creep in not being able to get out into the mountains and nature. 2-months ago my last mountain was Bowfell up the Climbers Transverse stunning climb and location. Thanks so much Alan for all your amazing videos very much appreciated. Sadly my life and outdoor activities has come to an end at this time with lack of funds and care for my mum. Although, can still enjoy your incredible videos…👍👍👍 kindest regards 🐶🐶🐶
I’m sorry to hear that but you should be proud of yourself for being kind and selfless. We all need some help in life at times and I’m sure your mum has given plenty in her life. One thing I would say though you must look after yourself mentally and physically because if you fail then you are useless to anyone else! So try make some time to get out and enjoy the outdoors.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Things have got much better Alan mate got my stealth camper van now after buying and selling so things are good and can now go to Scotland tour in my new camper van its got everything inside. my Dear Sister is looking after mum so now I can go back into the mountains mate and got job interview tomorrow. I'm an engineer. I have sorted my life out mate, new camper van conversion sorted... Yarhoo!!! life is crazy one month it falls apart next it amazing...
Kindest regards mate.
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why liers and murderers feel good while righteous persons are persecuted.
That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
Wishing your Mum Well 🙏
This brightened up my day- especially when you say ‘Mornin’ flowers!’- my mom passed away in April after a long 88 years. So hard to believe because I would talk to her every day! And such a lovely, young looking strong lady with a beautiful smile! So this video made me feel so good that we can all take a moment to claim our lives and be who we are really meant to be!
That’s definitely it claiming our lives back. Sorry about your mum but she did well at 88. Memories over money.
Good morning, flowers, that's what I love most.
Glad you're okay and Blue's still so fit.
I wish you one or more people to grow old with you, just like we do.
Thank you for your lovely moments!
I’ll keep sharing those moments 😬. Thanks bud
'Morning Flowers' should be available as an alarm clock choice, to start each boring day in the office, with a bit of Allen's sunshine mood 🌞 .
how did u do that with your handle
Was my birthday on the 10th, and it totally bombed, and been in an 'orrible "meurgh" mood since, UNTIL I kicked myself up the arse and went out for my first ever wild camp in the local forest Friday night, and am currently processing some of the wide field astro shots I took, all because I remembered your mantra about getting outside into nature, because it helps with one's mental health. It really did make the world of difference. Am definitely looking at other places to do another wild camp locally :)
Happy birthday for tomorrow! The Super Hero pose - I watched something ages ago, it was aimed at women and helping build confidence. It talked about the Wonder Woman pose, elbows bent and fists on hips, and consciously breathing deeply for around 30 seconds. There was research to show it helped calm you plus the fists on hips opened the chest so your breathing was more efficient. I have actually used it in times I was nervous and, of course, for job interviews. It helps reduce anxiety and does give you a boost, well for me anyway :)
There we go there is method in my madness😂. I truly believe in it 😬
Herman Hess in his book Stepping Wolf once made this assertion…..‘It’s better to have a really good day or a really bad day as compared to a string of Grey days. That’s what makes you really fell Alive! Cheers !!
I agree. Spice over grey every time👌
you and blue have really lifted me thank to you both
Great to have you back Al! And of course the beautiful Blue! Brightened up my weekend 👍👍👍⛺️⛰️
Nowt better than getting out into nature...always there for you when times get tough. Cheers for the vids mate 👍
yayyyyyy!!! Al and Blue back at last! Ive watched three years of your videos back to back since I found your channel a year ago. I'm so glad you are both back and can't wait to see your new adventures. absolute respect and Happy Birthday🙏- Kenny
Welcome back, you and Blue!!!❤❤❤❤✌️✌️✌️
Cheers Kenny mate. I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos👊
So glad to see you back, and fully refreshed Al, and of course so nice to see Blue again
Wonderful to have you and Blue back❤ happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good to see you back stronger than ever blue, and still bringing that lovable human along with you.
Oh my goodness!! Yeah so glad you're both back!! It's great to hear you're so happy too!! Looking forward to seeing all your future adventures, welcome back both!! 🩵🩵 xxxx
So delighted to wish you a happy birthday and so many more to come! So lucky for you to have Blue! (I lost my Belgian Tervueren shepherd 30 years ago, and I miss her everyday.) - Enjoy each and every moment of each day PERIOD. A hug to you and a paw to Blue thanks for an awesome calm site post.Regards, 'keep-a-going-"
Dogs are definitely special to us humans. Strange to think it was only about 17,000 years ago we started to befriend wild dogs. Thanks
Just wow!! That video was Ace. You and me should drink some Belgium beers together Al. Would love to see you do a collab with BLOT on some stealth camping adventures
Great to see you and Blue back. I am 58 and was a keen cyclist, I could still 100 miles non stop in 6 hours but Covid hit me like a train, twice in two years. But its not stopped me, I changed direction slightly and got stuck into new skills. I've got stuck into the hiking and camping which has got my health and well being back on track.
I think when super fit you feel the effects of covid more on that top end performance level. It definitely made me lose my last gear in my lungs
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I've lost about 50% of my hearing in one ear, it's great with the wife 😁
Lovely to see you so happy.
Happy birthday, hope you have had a great day x
Good for you Al! Great to see you back, you were missed. 🌄
Nice to see you back with Blue! The most important thing is to take care of yourself. I am also an introvert and going to an outdoor adventure always works for me to recover from that busy and somewhat noisy life. Best Regards from Canada !
Yes I love social interactions but I definitely like my time alone to recover from it😂
As a TH-cam creator myself, I must say sometimes is good to have a break and get out and meet up with real people, great to see you back old friend.
Strangely I’ve actually adventured even more and met more people too 👊
Once your down the you tube rabbit hole there ain't no getting out. The trueman show continues
Welcome back buddy & happy birthday !
Just fantastic to see you back, you too Al 😀
I’ll keep you company lol. In u do have an awesome body. You finally put back on ya swim trunks😊😊. Thanks handsome ❤❤❤
Girl I was waiting on ya comment lmaoooo. As😮 soon as I seen his thumb nail. I thought of u.
@@IsabellaLucia56 I’m watching now. I didn’t get to that part yet. But he knew what he was doing with those underwear on 😂😂. But I do like his content. He just happens to be attractive.
Thank you ☺️. I’m glad you appreciate my ‘swim trunks’ 😂
Happy Birthday, good to see you back 💕
Good to see you both back, wishing you a very happy birthday
Thanks Debs🥰
Happy Birthday for tomorrow, it's mine today! You don't look47 neither! Love to you both! xx
46 tomorrow but I think being fit and active keeps you young😬
Nice to see you back, all the best Yorke 😊
So thrilled to see you and Blue again. Happy birthday to you! My birthday is the 18th, but my great nephew was born on the same day - I have turned it totally over to him! Hope your birthday is as special as you are - just a joy to all who watch your videos. Many thanks! Becky W.
Thanks Becky🥰 and happy birthday to you this week.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Can't wait for a new video
Great simple video, happy birthday Al
Looking refreshed and ready to roll, bring on the summer! Big respect for acknowledging when you need time off to breathe and recalibrate, we're always looking forward to your videos mate and will still be here when you return 👍
Yes I definitely appreciate my time and won’t allow anything in life to get on top of me. Life’s too short to waste👌
Great to see you back. Look forward to the next
Awesome mate, truly awesome.
Love, Jeanians
Yet another skill....a superhero poet! Great waffle - as always. Have a great birthday!
Thanks Emma 😂. Super hero pose works wonders😬
Good to see you back pal 👍🏻👍🏻
Welcome back 🎉🎉great video as always. I love watching your adventures. Happy birthday!
Great to see you again! Have a good birthday 🎉 Good to hear taking some time for yourself has helped you❤
😊thank you.
Good to have you back again, mate!🤙🏼 Also, great to hear (and see) that you are in the right state of mind. Once more into the breach👊🏼
Cheers from Sweden🇸🇪
Cheers mate👊. I enjoy the breach😬
Great to see u back bud 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Mr Yorkshire.
Great to see the gang at NEC with the solo Summiteer.
It was lovely meeting so many of you all. Had some great conversations 😊
I really like that you are honest about your gear. It is not.common to see someone on youtube say "this product, I don't like it."
Definitely. Otherwise I’d be wasting other people’s money as well as my own. 👊
Have a great Birthday tomorrow, good to have you back
Lovely to see you and Bluey dog back and belated happy birthday wishes!
Not surprised you needed some time out. YT seems like it can be very intense and must be a lot to juggle with a job and then other life gubbins on top. Sounds like you did some awesome stuff with your time off though!
I’ve actually had a blast over the last couple months and made the most of it all. Gubbins is definitely a word I use and love 😬. Thanks Rach.
Oh nice! Right on time for my Mother’s Day quiet time! Happy to see my favorite TH-cam dog, Blue and his master , Allen. Edit: Happy Birthday!
Thanks. Always enjoy that peaceful time 😬
A very Happy Birthday Al, really good to have you back. Thank you and the beautiful Blue for making my days so much brighter. I am Cumbrian and live in a small town beneath Dent Fell near Ennerdale Water. The Mountains and Fells are in my blood and I could never live anywhere else. Delighted you and Blue are happy when you come here.😊😊😊😊
It’s amazing how the fells can make you feel so happy. Many never understand
Great to see you back mate, glad to hear you have come through the hard times and got it all figured out. Hope to see you on the mountains someday. All the best.
I run in to subscribers all the time so I’m sure we will meet😉👊
As long as your able, do not worry about age. I am close to 60 and still camping! I like the way you enjoy life, it's an inspiration.
Age doesn’t bother me but I definitely want to make sure I increase my chances of having a good working body for longer. 😉👊
Welcome back! “Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experiences that reveal the human spirits”. - E.E. Cummings Happy upcoming birthday. All the best… and thank you for another great video
I love it! I’m definitely all about self belief. Thank you😊
It’s great to see you two out and about again ☺️ Lovely video. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉 Have a good one 🎉 🎂
😊 thank you
You never grow in your comfort zone. Amazing advice that as im growing older i really do relate too. Thanks Al
Definitely keep stretching that comfort zone 😉👊
Actually watching on the 13th - so happy 46th Al! I hope you're having an ace day!🎉Great to see you back and thank you for another joyous video! All the best 😊
I have watched you from the beginning and do find you very inspirational. Blue is adorable I'm glad you decided to take some time for yourself. I suffer from bad mental health issues and have done for over 30 years and the reset button is healthy and great. Glad your back x
Keep accepting, learning and moving forward. Always cut the toxic energy suckers out of your life👌
Another great inspiring video! Happy birthday for tomorrow! 🎉
Cheers Nick👊
Awww you stopped it just before Blue appeared to be about to jump in and swim over to you. Great Vid and I liked that tent.
He just paddles at best😂
Happy birthday, also mine today . My partner and I are walking the moorlands in St John’s chapel . No better way to spend a birthday, few beers in the locals. Glorious countryside this neck of the woods .
Great channel , always enjoy the watch 👍👍
Happy birthday 👊
Brilliant Al, Sue and I follow your exploits with great interest & affection. This will be our show for tonight. Best regards from the NSW south coast.
Thanks Pete and it’s great you can watch together 🥰
Great to see you and Blue back :) Have a wonderful birthday tomorrow Al!!!! 🍻
Thanks 🥰
Great to see you and Blue back Al. Best regards from Invercargill NZ.
Yay! Missed you and Blue! Watching you from Western Pennsylvania!
Greetings from eastern Pennsylvania
Glad your recharged mate.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow 🙌
Thanks mate👊
No cuppa! That's ultimate survival camping. Pleased you survived it👍
😂😂😂 I can’t believe I made it through the night 😂
Glad to see you’re back and recharged.
Doing Helvellyn again in two weeks with the nephew from Canada.
Swirls route. Bridges of doom, path of terror, summit of fear and descent of despair. Watching too many Andy Wardle blogs.
At the end of June going to do part of the Apex Everest route from Legburthwaite. If you are registered let me know and I’ll check the betting.😂
Recently found an old Harvey map: The Gerry Charnley Round. He was my old instructor for orienteering. First outing hiking wasn’t The Latrigg or Catbells. No, first Striding Edge then Jack’s Rake. Your videos still bring back memories.
The Charnley Round is mainly based in Langdale . 38 mile clover leaf challenge. You’ve probably already done it. If not look it up.
Geoff.
Happy birthday dear Allen❤
Great to see you back Al. Looking forward to what’s to come next.
Can’t beat starting the day with some cold water. Spent this week in Glencoe and the first task of the day was a swim in the river next to the campsite. Fantastic way to start the day.
Happy birthday mate and if I’d of known that this afternoon, the brew would have been on me.
Next time 👍
😂 it’s okay mate I’m not one for celebrating my birthday.
Happy birthday Al for tomorrow have a good one !
Loved the mind set and serenity of a new approach, HBD for the 13th matey🎉

@@BUSHMANandBLUE thank u Al ❤️
I've had a wechsel Exogen 1 for years and it's never let me down, cracking tents. Good to see you and bluey back out 👍
Yes I look forward to testing it more. I like the look of a few of their tents 👌
Happy Birthday, hope you had a lovely day xx 🎉❤
Yes Bluebells are a protected species in the UK under wildlife & Nature Act 1981.. we cannot dig up the bulb or plant & landowners are also prohibited from removing them from their land to sell. It’s against the law to intentionally pick, uproot or destroy bluebells, bluebell have soft leaves that are sensitive to being trodden on & can take years to recover from footfall damage. Hope this helps 🌱
Thank you ☺️ and thank you for the info.
Loved the opening view of Blue. It knows it's the star of this channel.
Warm Regards from far away Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
He definitely is 😂
Looks like a lovely wood, with the small pond in its midst.
Good to see you and Blue back again Allen, and Happy 46th Birthday! 😂
I do love the woods. Always so peaceful especially when full of life. Thanks Mike👍👍👍
Sending positive vibes, we have all been there. It starts with loving yourself. Have a hug from west oz 🫂
I agree. Thanks Julie from OZ
Love your videos, I often go camping myself ...love blue, thanks for all the videos and info on gear no stuff too. Life is for living 😊
Thanks James. Keep getting out there👊

Great ro see you back Al lad.. Nice tent, reminds me of my vango tempest 200.
I’ll definitely be testing out the tent as I like the design
The trek master and mutt is back! Yes❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Pleased for you and great to see you back....life is hard at times no doubt but it's great when you see the beauty shining through the grime.
I even see the beauty in the grime… always learning👌. Thanks Matt
Welcome back. Great video. That salad looked messy lol. Oh and happy birthday to a fellow 1970s outdoors person.
Messy but tasty😉
Fantastic to see you back and even better that you took some time out for you time. (And I can’t believe you’re going to 46!!! - No, I don’t think you look older 😊)
I’ll always be fit both mentally and physically. It keeps you young 😬
Glad to see you aggain ! Hard to regonize without snow, rain , ice, wind and rocks. 😉
😂 just plain and boring.
Good to see you and Blue out and about again. I hope that you have moved on from whatever has been going on, and you are entering a new chapter 👍
Happy Birthday for tomorrow, don't foget to save a bit of cake for Bluey Dog! 🤣
Cheers Trev. I just love learning along life’s journey 😬
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Take care Al, look forward to seeing your new adventures 👍
Good to see you both back. Love the super hero pose advice. Will be giving this a go. Have a good birthday. See ya next time.
You’ll definitely get what I mean with it😉. Thanks
Great video as usual,you look good,fit,strong.an inspiration as always,cant wait to see more
As I’ve said before… use your body whilst it works. Thanks Rob
Welcome back Bonnie lads, hope you had a well earned break & there is nowt wrong with being introverted. All power to you. Oh and Happy birthday 🎉
Yes I’ve always been very confident in myself and my abilities so thought I was more extrovert but about 15 years ago realised I am often introverted. I just love the psychology of people. Thanks Steve.
What a lovely surprise to see your latest video pop up. You sounding strong and nice to see beautiful Blue.
Thanks 😬
It's soooooo good to have you and Blue back, excellent video, Thank You 👍🐾
on a trip during that hot weather with the aurora etc, i slumped down to tired and hot to eat. decided i needed to force myself, dug out a boiled egg, peeled it, had a bite and thought i need salt, then i dug out a pack of cheese and onion crisps, (i open a little and squash the crisps down to almost dust, then roll up to seal) dipped the egg in the crisps, and took a bite......... this will be a standard camping meal for me from now on.
😂 there are loads of easy meals to make. Worth trying more than a boiled egg😂
Glad to see you back Al and have a wonderful birthday for tomorrow ❤. Great advice wrt " tomorrow is never promised". In your case 46 is only a number still super human. Look after yourself and get yourself over to North Wales. Best regards.
Yes life is short but it’s definitely about making the most of our time. Thanks mate.
