As an American I have no problem following your language. Love it actually. I first saw your video about cooking a roast chicken. Laughed my ass off . Now I am hooked . Good job and keep trying to cook over a fire . I've been cooking over a camp fire for years and it gets easier as you learn . All the best Gail .
just love ya vids and if thats been sensible KEEP IT UP ha ha ha , looked like a cracking spot, oh and I see ya have learned about the horned beast sign lol lol keep the vids coming mate ATB Richie.
I've camped in many such places myself , over the years , , it always seems that I could hear the whispers of those ancient ones that were there before , their laughter and maybe the voices of those rejoicing in the eating of fresh meat , , but I never heard a banjo playing . .
This lovely bushcraft channel and the video he's makes amazing way to learn about education lessons and experience bushcraft learning and I am personally glad to support this amazing man and his exciting bushcraft channel and this man British man born and raised 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I used to see those crags from the road heading north on the A696 and wondered what they were. There is a lot of history asscociated with that area, ancient settlements, old drover's road, cave, devils punch bowl and medieval village.
Great stuff Damian. Looked a good laugh :) Those rock formations looked really interesting and some did indeed look like they'd been carved into faces, which wouldn't surprise us by the sounds of the history of the place. Love places with lots of history as it gives that lovely mystical feeling to the place, especially at sunset. Looking forward to the next one! All the best, Gareth&Zoe Wildcamps
beautiful spot! and loving your imagination running away with you.. sweet! oh i think you're right about those pittings especially the more modified ones.. probably used to grind down wheat or whatnot.. like a giant mortar and pestle ( like modern day positioning of sinks with a window for a view).. and what a view.
Besides the wind and chill, you guys looked like you were having fun, that's what it's all about! Haha. I'm already looking forward to the next video! Thanks for sharing with us Damien. My best to you both...Cheers, Bibsoutdoors
Brilliant, Made my day, plenty shite gettin talked. Good to see the Yeti on form, shame he never got a sheep for humpin, never mind maybe next time hahaha The smaller holes in the sandstone are caused by pebbles and larger stones, over the years the surface wears away and the pebbles become visible, it does not take long for the weather to get into them, and the frost eventually pops them, or they come naturally loose The big hole has definitely come from a mallet and chisel, keep them coming guys, better than TV by the way the Yeti would be just as well on the tabs, his inhalers never oot o he's gob haha
I remember you from the good old guidepost days. Used do some wild camping but stopped because of family/kids. Came across your vids ,loved them and now im back into wild camping and some bush craft, so thanks. if or when its possible to do so could you tell us where you park to get to the various places ,i know its not always possible. Anyway keep up the great work, Ill say hi if i see you about .
I use google earth street view to find places to go camping and parking spots. For Shaftoe Crags there is a layby just past Belsay on the A696.If there is any particular place you want to go I'll tell you where I park
If you had went a little more north closer to that farm (where the postman was going) their is a nice craggy shelter with flat ground. It would have been a better night mate.
A canny video and definitely not a waste of my TH-cam time lol, a place with beautiful views, shame about the wind lads. I like the yeti's knife the one worn on his belt horizontal?? Atb Mark
As a fellow northerner and accentologist, albeit it north western not north eastern hook, I have no problems understanding you, but southern shandy drinkers and yanky doodles might struggle a bit 😂
Hi James, the location is Shaftoe Crags which is in Northumberland UK. It was actually quite cold for June and haven't had much of a summer here. Thanks for watching.. atb
Yes I think a good external mice with a " dead cat " - get a great Aussie mic made here in Australia - ( All Rode microphones are manufactured in Australia to the highest international standards and come with a 10 year warranty. ) - best regards from Philip pommy ex pat !!!
Funny you mention about the person who asked you to speak English......I ran into a young Brit at the top of Mount Washington on Vancouver Island a week ago. When I asked where he was from, he told me he had been accused of being an Aussie but I could tell he was from Yorkshire, then when he asked me, I had to tell him that I'm no Brit - born in South Shields - his response was immediate......."that is correct, you're no Brit"......howay the Geordies !
Good stuff Damien. Great craic funny chat. Loving the area. Good bivvi spots indeed. Might need to have a visit. See the lone wind turbine there. I tested the concrete foundation. Had to drive into the field. The fungi is birch polypore it makes excellent tinder. There may be Cup and ring markings up there. Looks a likely spot. Or somewhere for yetis to rest their cans in. 🍻 great video as per. Made us laugh out loud at times. It's all about the laughs. Ye shouldn't do the horns mind 🤘🤘
Andy whats the keyboard shortcut for the horns, I have to copy and paste from a separate file to make it work. I've learned that the round depression on top of the rock is called the devils punch bowl, amazing place to visit. I'll send you info on the Bosnian pyramids and ancient concrete thats the strongest in the world and thousands of years old. ATB
I think you have to have a Geordie accent to say "Shaftoe Crags" properly. Great views mate, i think the lines and holes are glacial wear and tear Damo. Cheers Moose. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks for the info Moose, I had a good look at the rocks and there were tiny pebbles within the stone so must have been part of a river of sea bed millions of years ago. A fascinating place to visit. ATB
Those circular depressions are probably where millstones have been cut from the rock, Have you two been on Gordon's mushrooms. This is where its at - ATB
X C Lent guys, when you two go out camping there is never a dull moment that is for sure bro. It is a fun way to learn more about your country. No sheep to have their couple of minutes of fame on ewetube but oh well the views made up for it. All the best to you both
Them holes in the rocks collect water & wildlife gets used to it & can be trapped there. I suspect some are used to grind food like sedge seed or nuts down.
What you are seeing with sedimentary rock is ancient sea bed from millions of years ago. With plate tectonics, what was once sea bed could be raised to become mountains with ancient sea fossils in the rock. At Shaftoe Crags the boulders are probably left like that at the end of the ice age when the ice melted and the glazier retreated, leaving large boulders in the positions they are now.
I like hammocking but it takes me a while to set up and I prefer a simpler way of just rolling out a bivy. I have used it occasionally, just haven't been filming, thanks for watching
I use Premiere Pro for editing and taught myself by starting off with the basic software such as windows movie maker, then progressing onto Premiere Pro which is more difficult and a steep learning curve. Watching TH-cam tutorials is a great learning tool for just about anything. Thanks for your comment, atb.
Got the phantom 3 professional from maplin, was the last one in the shop and they are slowly phasing them out. Got it for £699 so not a bad price. There isn't that much difference from the phantom 4 and you would pay a hell of a lot more.
From what i understand there is a connection with the families this land belonged to bobby shaftoes uncle william shafto but lost the property after the jacobites rebellion. The land was restored to the family through the marriage of bobby shafto and his wife anne. Im maybe wrong please correct me if im wrong. Its hard to understand when so many shaftos have the same names throught there family line. Lol and has never changed my father up to my great grandfather are all named thomas 😂 Im still learning in hopes of finding my connection of relations to the shafto family.
There is a layby on the A696 at NZ 05031 80986, we parked there overnight but people have mentioned there is more to see if we had gone in the back way to Shaftoe Crags from the path at Bolam West Houses. Its further to walk and parking may be limited as it is a small country lane
Fell Wanderer that vid made me laugh ,I've watched most of your vids now and find them very inspiring so much so I've been and bought some kit and intend to get out there very soon ,keep at it mate and many thanks !!!
I have some foam stuck on the camera which isn't perfect as it has an internal mic, it usually works but the wind was strong on that camp, a Rhode external mic or similar would have been a better choice with a dead cat like you suggested, ATB
I think the cave and rock shelters in that area have been used many times over thousands of years. Its a nice spot with decent views of the surrounding countryside.
Its a hand gesture that some people on TH-cam do. I dont give it any kind if religious meaning, just like the OK sign isn't about white supremacy or the swastika which has been around for thousands of years isn't just a Nazi symbol. In future, I will be careful how to shake someones hand, in case I get called a freemason or part of some cult.
@@Fell_Wanderer good cause you wouldn’t want to be associated with scum like Freemasons. If you knew what those people are responsible for, you’d want nothing to do with their symbology or esoteric occultism. There are energies and subconscious meanings to these mantric hand gestures and symbols that are demoralising and sensitising to evil. Thanks for the reply Damien mate.

The time lapses you used to do were cracking mate, coming to the time for some wicked sunsets/rises again.
Im scots and I understand you fine boss and love your videos.
Never commented on your videos before but been watching them for a while. Absolutely loved this one. Brilliant stuff
I can understand you, I'm part Geordie but Sunderland then South Shields... love your work. Cheers, Lee

great video, getting some great ideas of spots, 20 years up the north east and still surprised how good it is

Great camera work and I always like that you give a bit of history around the area your camping or hiking in. Many thanks

Great video guys thumbs up from south coast (Sussex) 👍
Great vid, been meaning to camp here for ages. P.s. Think the circular depression is the 'Devils Punchbowl', a widened-by-man natural depression
Other people have said the same about the devils punch bowl so must be true. Thanks for the comment, atb
Besides the wind and chill, you guys looked like you were having fun, that's what it's all about! Haha. I'm already looking forward to the next video! Thanks for sharing with us Damien. My best to you both...Cheers, Bibsoutdoors
Fantastic filming mate, really enjoyed watching.
Take care

Great crack ,small talk ,and some very informative stuff anorl .keep it gannin 👍
Another great wild camping video. I live in Newbiggin by the Sea, so I'll have to try Shaftoe Crags.
Brilliant video again bud.
Good views again...
"You know where its at"
Thanks bud.

Bobby Shafto's looking out,
All his ribbons flew about,
All the ladies gave a shout,
Hey for Boy Shafto!
man I've been gagging for one of your vids and yet again never disappointed with the quality and humour
Really enjoyed watching and you're right, we are one family. 💎

I haven't explored the northern part of Shaftoe Crags but will hopefully soon, thanks for your comment.
A canny video and definitely not a waste of my TH-cam time lol, a place with beautiful views, shame about the wind lads. I like the yeti's knife the one worn on his belt horizontal?? Atb Mark
Great vid Damo and great banter, really enjoyed it.
Glad to see you two back out again. Best double act going :-) always crack me up. But besides that between the jokes you are a mine of information :-)
You found the Devils Punch Bowl. Love Shaftoe Crags. Always there with the dogs. Ok. You talked me into it> I'm heading there now for a walk. :0)
As a fellow northerner and accentologist, albeit it north western not north eastern hook, I have no problems understanding you, but southern shandy drinkers and yanky doodles might struggle a bit 😂
Every video is an education. You lead and we will follow.
Alway a good laugh watching your videos and listening to the waffle mate.☺
Fell Wander is a Legend!
Good craic Damien.. northeast timeteam.. lol... time lapse's A1 as usual.. TFS pal.. ATB.. R&D :) :)
Love your shows where are you with a coat on in August James Lane always your friend Kansas City Missouri
Hi James, the location is Shaftoe Crags which is in Northumberland UK. It was actually quite cold for June and haven't had much of a summer here. Thanks for watching.. atb
Cracking video mate.
Whatever you do Damien, NEVER, EVER , stop taking your medication!! (fol)
Yes I think a good external mice with a " dead cat " - get a great Aussie mic made here in Australia - ( All Rode microphones are manufactured in Australia to the highest international standards and come with a 10 year warranty. ) - best regards from Philip pommy ex pat !!!
What a smashing place to explore and camp!
Fascinating spot mate...great video
Great video very entertaining ..love the crack!!
I do a lot of sea fishing off rocks in north wales, them rocks are the same type of rock sea erosion you see by the coast.
I think its sedimentary sandstone rock which is ancient seabed
If there was someone camping near you they would`ve heard strange screams during the night and thought it was Bigfoot !
I know people who have camped in that area and heard strange noises. I've heard noises I can't explain but seen nothing yet
Funny you mention about the person who asked you to speak English......I ran into a young Brit at the top of Mount Washington on Vancouver Island a week ago.

Hello mate Ive been looking forward to this, hope your well bud
DAvie
Those circular depressions are probably where millstones have been cut from the rock, Have you two been on Gordon's mushrooms. This is where its at - ATB
I thought that, originally, but it's sandstone - no use as a millstone.
great video can u make one in Scottish thank u
I love this channel!
X C Lent guys, when you two go out camping there is never a dull moment that is for sure bro. It is a fun way to learn more about your country. No sheep to have their couple of minutes of fame on ewetube but oh well the views made up for it. All the best to you both
Canny vid bonny lad, all the best. Liam
I really enjoy the vids with davey!
Them holes in the rocks collect water & wildlife gets used to it & can be trapped there.
I suspect some are used to grind food like sedge seed or nuts down.
What about a giveaway comp for your up coming 10,000 subscribers, a night with you dressed as a woolley sheep 🐑
I love the idea of Damian dressed as a Woolley sheep
I think he would tip 15,000 subs in reality, but he's more the black sheep lol
Them rocks. thats sea erosion, but why is it so high up. Thats crazy.
What you are seeing with sedimentary rock is ancient sea bed from millions of years ago. With plate tectonics, what was once sea bed could be raised to become mountains with ancient sea fossils in the rock. At Shaftoe Crags the boulders are probably left like that at the end of the ice age when the ice melted and the glazier retreated, leaving large boulders in the positions they are now.
Very good
Great vid, you should walk in from the other side next time. Alot more things to see.
Loved the video mate, but wondering when you'll be getting the old hammock out for an airing, or has that been assigned to the attic permanently?
I like hammocking but it takes me a while to set up and I prefer a simpler way of just rolling out a bivy. I have used it occasionally, just haven't been filming, thanks for watching
I wander if them rocks a same level of the sphynix.
They are a left over from the ice age, when the glacial ice retreated
Damian what editing software do you use? Are you self taught in film making? Very impressive.
I use Premiere Pro for editing and taught myself by starting off with the basic software such as windows movie maker, then progressing onto Premiere Pro which is more difficult and a steep learning curve. Watching TH-cam tutorials is a great learning tool for just about anything. Thanks for your comment, atb.
@@Fell_Wanderer
Thank you for your reply. I will look into this. Take care love your videos.
That Fungi looks like Birch Polypore, hard to say from the vid.
Other's have said the same. I've heard of it but never seen any till now, atb
You,yes you know...it....
Makes sense..
Looked a canny spot mate you been getting a new camera? Quality looked good
Got the phantom 3 professional from maplin, was the last one in the shop and they are slowly phasing them out. Got it for £699 so not a bad price. There isn't that much difference from the phantom 4 and you would pay a hell of a lot more.
sorry thought you were talking about the drone, its the same camera I'm using, I colour grade in post to get a better picture
I watched it through my new tv reason why I asked wasn't sure if it was the tv or you had a new camera good stuff quality looks sweet
great.
Nice video thank you - Hey you're edging 10K subs - well done.atb.snack.
🤘
I wonder if that song about bobby shaftoe has owt to do with this area :)
I have no idea, been a while since I've heard that song, atb
From what i understand there is a connection with the families this land belonged to bobby shaftoes uncle william shafto but lost the property after the jacobites rebellion.

Damien, where do you park to get to shaftoecrag?
There is a layby on the A696 at NZ 05031 80986, we parked there
overnight but people have mentioned there is more to see if we had gone
in the back way to Shaftoe Crags from the path at Bolam West Houses. Its
further to walk and parking may be limited as it is a small country
lane
Where did you park mater on the a696
There is a layby 600m south on the A696, grid ref: NZ 05016 80989
Mind they doggers ...... You know that makes sense lol
Thanks, they aren't hard to spot. They have mattresses on their backs or are in remote carparks after dark flashing lights at each other.
Fell Wanderer that vid made me laugh ,I've watched most of your vids now and find them very inspiring so much so I've been and bought some kit and intend to get out there very soon ,keep at it mate and many thanks !!!
Where you been hiding?
Been on holiday as the kids are off school so a bit behind with editing
11:40 can someone link me to this
I don't have a link, just Google Finding Bigfoot UK, there will be footage somewhere
Windy - put a sock over the mic !!
I have some foam stuck on the camera which isn't perfect as it has an
internal mic, it usually works but the wind was strong on that camp, a
Rhode external mic or similar would have been a better choice with a
dead cat like you suggested, ATB
Sorry to say I prefer you being sensible.
atb t ..
put the kettle on
Hey bro
hi.
i'v bivvied in that cave last yr, was great
I think the cave and rock shelters in that area have been used many times over thousands of years. Its a nice spot with decent views of the surrounding countryside.
get out n do abit of cave camping, u know it makes sense lol
Green portal to Hell i think he is reet
only one race the human race like the video
keep away from my sheeps
I'm a baaaad laaaaad and mutton do it again lol
