Ex Sniper camps on a roundabout next to a Police Station.

- Hello everyone,
Something a little different this week!
I ve been loving getting out riding the Electric Eleglide T1 Trekking Bike :
eleglide.com/products/removab...
Ive wanted to camp on a roundabout for ages now and decided to do it with a little more risk to it... i camped about 200m from a Police station.
This roundabout is one of the busiest ways into town and doesn't offer much cover so i thought it would be a great place to do a proper "stealth camp".
I packed light and made my way into town through the beautiful Suffolk back roads. Passing farmers fieldds and train lines before stopping off at Sainsbury's for my food and ale.
I love wild camping and i really love camping in some of these "out of the box" places that offer a little bit of a buzz by way of increased risk of being spotted the the law or the general public.

Even if they saw you they wouldn't do anything about it! I was a cop there for 9 years and we would do welfare visits on people sleeping in the woods, and other places...you're not breaking the law. Love your work! If you want somewhere legit but private to camp, let me know, I have 8 acres in Norfolk. Free as a bird!!
8 acres mate that’s awesome !! Cheers for the comment mate 👏🔥
Haha is the offer for East only haha
Please may i come and live there !!!!!!!!
@@EastAnglianBushcraft You look a bit like Bobby Sands.
8 acres your so lucky 😊
I am a U.S. combat vet who also has PTSD so I appreciate you doing a little education about it. I really your videos, especially your coastal and paddling trips.
Thanks Ben mate 👊🤙🔥🫡
You absolute legend camping on a roundabout, remember position, shape, shadow, texture, colour, tone, movement, shine and of course wear orange trousers.
Epic !
Lmao Orange trousers top comment
I'm 38 and I've been jumping out aircraft since I was 22 and BASE jumping since 23. I got seriously injured (multiple broken bones) and camping has given me that "present" feeling I need. Everyone should camp, wild swim, drink, be merry and just forget life for a few days.
Couldn’t agree more mate 👊👊
I’m a 43 yr old rock climber and a landscaper, and that present feeling you talk of absolutely nailed it. All the best ;)
My favourite wild camp was on a Norfolk beach and the 3 of us dropped some mushrooms 🤣
We were sat in the dunes just crying with laughter at the thought of us being like the fellowship of the ring. When we woke up we seen our footprints and how far we actually walked that night, it wasn't far at all and my mate shit his pants in his sleep while his dog ate it.
I don't advocate drugs either, only tripped a few times in my life. But fuck me, we still laugh about that night.
do you ever come up to Scotland?
@@macduff1699 both my parents are Glaswegian, BASE jumped all over the world but not in Scotland.
As a veteran of Afghanistan myself I fully support anyone who supports the mental health of ex and serving armed forces people. I was lucky enough to come out of the army after 7 years and two tours of Afghanistan not suffering any PTSD, but I know so many who didn’t. I have a mate of mine who served in 9 para and after trying to kill himself in his flat, which included the police literally kicking his front door down and having to be tasered by the police, because he thought they were Taliban as he was hallucinating due too his severe mental health. He was sectioned under the mental health act, and thanks to the great work from veteran charities he got the help he needed and now is living a happy, content life. But he came so close and it could of been a different outcome had we not checked on him and called the police for a welfare check when we did. Well done on supporting mental health especially for our boys and girls who’ve served Queen and country. Just one life saved makes it all worth it🙂👍🏻
Worked with a guy that was a Para in Falklands war. He was so care free and happy go lucky. Sadly a bad relationship and life got to him and no doubt all the hidden trauma. They found him in his flat having taken his own life. Very sad! Still think of him often and what they gave. You are all heroes!
@@enigma7791 yes unfortunately a all too familiar story. My mate Keith came very close to being another statistic.
@@enigma7791
No we ain’t.
No glory in turkey shoots in foreign lands.
My son, a US Marine came back from Afghanistan with horrible PTSD with aggressive anger and easily triggered. He wanted to fight me multiple times. I kept telling him I loved him and would never fight him. Thankfully he got the help he needed and is living his best life. I was never scared of him until that point. He says he doesn't remember any of it.
@@joeh4295 that good to hear your son is now doing better. Sounds like he had a rough time.
You calling me out, up the ante, everybody knows a roundabout next to a McDonald's is more risky than a police station. Haha. Well done mate nice one.
Haha I did give you a shoutout for the inspiration lad 👊👊👊💚
@@EastAnglianBushcraft I know mate I seen. Thank you.
@@offcamping Billy I expect to see you on the roof of a police station in the next one....hang on... Didn't you camp outside a barracks? 🤔
you two will have to have a callab that would be funny
Player 2 has entered the game! I am subscribed to you both, keep up the fun content. Cheers from the US.
Hello mate , I saw paddy's mention about mental health after his bout, the phrase " I'd rather have you crying on my shoulder than me crying at your funeral " struck home. A young lad, only 19 and a family friend took his life two years ago ( also in East anglia, Lincolnshire) and its ripped his family apart. As an older man I have had brushes with oth depression and suicidal thoughts, but made it through by talking to my wife and children, well so far at least!. Stay well and keep up the excellent channel 👍
Thanks for speaking about mental health. Too often men feel that talking with someone is a sign of weakness. I didn't serve in the military but I have been a 911 emergency dispatcher for 15+ years and the stress takes a toll.
Thanks for the mental health tips! I have PTSD too, although not from any war, but from an accident and from some abuses I've experienced in my life. I struggle the most with hyper vigilance too. Sometimes all I sit and do at my stealth camps is look through the woods with my binoculars trying to see what that sound was.
It doesn't help that the time before last, I was at my fort and a police helicopter came over, circled my exact location, said over the PA to not grab the rifle. Even though I don't even own a rifle, I was worried that they might think one of the branches I had cut maybe looked like one. Then they said to walk towards the train tracks and I literally did consider doing exactly that but decided that no matter what I did, the cops were probably going to shoot me so I decided to make them come into the woods to find me. It was only when they said to put your hands on your head and walk backwards towards the officers that I realized they were after someone else. That scared the shit out of me!
As much as I know that police helicopter was flying directly over my fort while I had a fire in my Dakota fire pit looking for someone in the area and yet they did not see me, I still feel like my fort is the most obvious thing ever. I realize that it doesn't matter how many cop helicopters fly over or how many people walk within a few feet of my location, I'm always going to struggle with feeling completely exposed just because of how my mind is right now. At the same time, there's something exciting about it when you have someone walk by so close that you can easily see their faces and yet they walk by as if what you've built is just another pile of brush near some trees instead of a fort with a person inside it even. I guess it's a love-hate relationship with anxiety. I don't know. I'm really not fond of the police flying overhead though.
Thanks my friend for highlighting super vigilance it took me a while to get control of this aspect of PTSD. Thankyou for what you do on you tube it helps. Greatest respect I could never get in front of a camera.
👊👊👊
Keep at it, PTSD takes time, I'm almost free from this mental issues, but sometimes just go backwards. Talking with friends and non friends openly about it has helped me alot, along with meditation, smoking and drinking has managed to reduce it in moderation also. Hope this maby helps any one who reads it!
@@LewisRhymes keep at it it does impr9ove
@@DAVESLINGER thanks 👌✌️
I can’t switch my brain off, so no sleep and I’m beyond knackered. I can’t work atm, I’m trying but it’s not going well, works running out of patience. But reading these comments feels good, because I’m obviously not going mad! Iv just got some shit to sort out. My heart goes out to all those with this and worse.👊❤️
Hope I sleep tonight🤞
Nice one bro.
I don't know who you served with, but good on you I served for 22 years.
I don't go into my military service on any social media platforms, however it was an interesting couple of decades and I know your particular trade that you were involved in within the military very well..
Keep doing what you are doing brother and respect to you.
⚔️🇬🇧⚔️
I just want to say that beautiful seeing you talk about mental health. Hearing your thoughtful words has helped me deal with some of my own deamons and reminds me that we are all on this journy thogether. United through our struggles, our pain, our joy and our wisdom. Your a good bloke and I have a lot of resect for you. Keep up the good work!
❤️❤️❤️
Very nice video. I liked it a lot.
During my then-compulsory military service in Sweden, we practiced reconnaissance a lot. Dogs and horses were the hardest to hide from. People never noticed we were there, not even when their dogs started barking and investigating the hideout. Horses got scared and ran away with the rider.
When I was at college, I did an Art Piece based on my experiences inside a roundabout, it was an amazing experience, so weird being so near so much activity but with nobody knowing I was there, the artwork produced was amazing as a result, your video has reminded me thanks, brilliant video, it has got my imagination going
👌👌🔥💯
My dad was a sapper (Royal Engineers) during WW2. He served in North Africa and Italy for the duration, making several beach landings at Sicily and Salerno. When the war ended he stayed on for 3 years taking up minefields in the Adriatic. After he died in 1990 my mother told me he used to wake up at night shouting out and panicking. Of course in those days PTSD didn't have a name and my dad was never the type to make a fuss anyway.
PTSD has been known as "shell shock" and "combat fatigue" in various military branches.
Rip to your da 💯💯💯💯
I'd imagine my late Grandad going through similar. He went to Italy and North Africa during WW2. He rarely spoke of it. Can't have been easy
They used to call it shell shock.
Yeah my dad did the same thing when he came back from Korea, he was a sniper in the 1st battalion Yorks and lancs, and was on the Imjin River with the Glosters when they were attacked, he was awarded a Military Medal but wouldn't even look at it.
After leaving the army he went to sea on trawlers from Hull where we live and became a chief engineer, he died of cancer at the age of 39 and my dear mam had to raise 7 kids on her own, she did a great job of it as well.
Recently came across this video by accident and got really inspired by what you do. I served for 20yrs in the infantry roll with many tours under my belt from Bosnia 1994 all the way upto Afgan 2010 and plenty in between. I always thought I never suffered PTSD however, from this video I now understand more and very much relate
Hoping to rough camp myself sometime, keep up the content mate
Really cool dude. I love your self challenges. I love camping but never done a round about. Respect to your service m8.
I’ve just subscribed to your channel Craig. Your videos peaked my interest as I used to have to regularly travel for work to Stowmarket and Bury St. Edmunds to an office the company I worked for has there.
Since then I’ve been hooked, and been binging on your videos.
Great content from an honest and down to earth guy. Keep up the brilliant work, can’t wait for more videos. 👍🏻
Great video. Done a bit of stealth camping here in the states. Have had a few tense moments. And I definitely empathize with you about the hypervigilance. For me it's the worst part of PTSD. But camping and spending time out in the woods , as well as talking to others has been my therapy. Doing better each and every day. Stay positive.
Absolutely Excellent! Love all the camps you do around East Anglia being raised in West Norfolk myself! Props for all your mental health shout outs! I have contact with loads of people who suffer with PTSD through my work as a charity ambassador for Mental Health Motorbike! #getoutdostuff #leavenotrace
Loving all your vids now that I've found them Craig! I'm twice your age, so only half as daring these days haha. Massive respect for all the support you give to mental health mate... even civvies like me can suffer from PTSD for one reason or another. Big respect mate from a Pompey Boy in Cornwall
💚💚💚
Really enjoyed your vid. A veteran myself from the seventies. Keep doing what your doing and stay safe. Good luck.
Cheers dude 👊🔥
Bless you bro, thank you for all you have done for our country. Really enjoyed this vlog as it makes me feel I’m with you. Take care out there and keep up the great work.
👊👊👊
The best part about all this has to be that it is simply harmless fun. Nobody is getting made fun of, there isn't any malice in it, just some good fun.
Just found your channel and great to see. Good work and thanks for sharing your adventures. I used to live in King's Lynn and latterly Tilney cum Islington. Great memories of Norfolk and many of the places you go are familiar to me. I look forward to seeing more.
I think we are living in times where it is good to be hyper vigilant, don't be scared, be prepared. Sometimes the people who are said to have mental issues are actually the ones who are sane, the whole world is burying it's head in the sand and walking straight into economic Armageddon. I got wiped out in 2008 and do everything I can to make sure it isn't going to happen again, having no debt is the best starting point.
Great words there mate 👊👊👊. I agree with you … it’s just a shame we are never really free from
The bs the government like to throw at everyone
If you are expecting economic armageddon (I'm assuming that means a complete collapse of the financial system), then isn't it better to load up on all the debt you can possible get?
@@jc-fy1wl - Years ago I'd have agreed with you to a point, however with the possibility we are all going to be moved to crypto currencies and given social credit scores it might not be that simple this time around. I went bankrupt in 2010 after the GFC and although I've had no loans and a credit card I pay every month in full since, I have recently had my past affecting things like car insurance. One company said they can't insure anyone who has ever been bankrupt without explanation when I called them. I pay my premiums in full in a single payment every year and up until this year never had a problem getting insured with any company. I've noticed that when you apply for jobs now they want information on your student loans and to do a credit check so my gut feeling is taking on debt when you don't have too is a really bad idea.
In the short term loading up and defaulting might work but in the long run it could be financial and social suicide when what ever economic calamity is coming has calmed down. If you have the stomach for appearing in front of a judge and managing without a bank account (was about a year for me) it might work out, but it is major hassle when creditors send collection agents knocking. If you make that bed you will have to lay in it, money disappears during bad times way faster than debt. You will need good friends to help you out. For me even though I got my debts written off, overall it wasn't worth it and I'd rather have not had the items I bought, or the debt and the hassles that came with it.

Just found your channel, you seem like a class fella, was happy to see you talk so much about mental health, i hope your journey with your own is healing and thank you for reaching out to others through your content. Keep up the good work, great content
First timer here from Alberta Canada. Great stuff. Yes UFC follower and love Paddy the Baddy. Thank you for your service and the honesty. Blessings
I drove around that round about yesterday; not once in all the years I have lived in Suffolk have I given that place a 2nd glance, but yesterday, I did, you really can't see in passed the vegetation. Nice vlog and I like that e-bike as well, might be tempted to get one. Cheers, Simon
Thanks Simon mate 🤙🤙👊 🫖
what a nice geezer, entirely new to me but ill be watching lots more.cheers mucka!
Honestly what a cool life you seen to have mate served your country in one of arguably the most badass roles possible and now travel around doing what you love, living the absolute dream 🤟
Absolutely awesome, absolutely love all your videos. Totally pissed off that I can't get out as much as I want to. Your posts keep me sane & give me hope that I can get a good night out...soon!
All the best mate and Thankyou 🤙👊👊
It's good that you're open and honest about your MH struggles. It's foremost on my mind with regards to my son, who as an infantry soldier in this ever increasingly crazy world could quite possibly be faced with the same issues in the future. I hope it settles down but I'm not confident for the future. As for the roundabout, I know it's all the rage at the moment but I don't reckon it's for me🤔 Kudos for pulling it off though👍 That copper deffo saw you btw😂
The copper deffo didn’t see me he was looking at the road around haha worst case he saw the camera but I was in the bush 👊🔥 sorry for your Son mate all you can do is be there for him ❤️💚
Dug, if they know that they may develope ptsd or maimed, why do they sign up?
You're fighting for W Bushes revenge on Saddam, Haliburton shares, etc. Our own greedy bxxxxxds have directorships, share options etc.
The fighting in Ukraine is about making a former soviet country full of russian speakers western & in the EU/NATO. Putin isn"t having western missiles in the field opposite the border the sane way the US wasn't having Russian missiles on Cuba.
It's just games... and now all those Ukrainian families are hurt, scattered, homeless! Smh
Strongly discouraged my son from applying for army when he was due to leave school based on institutionalisation and MH issues and being dumped to get on with life himself when he left army. Post Afghanistan, I understand things are a little better than back then but still very glad he listened. Gave the example of Spanish Armada veterans who were left to rot and not allowed to return to shore so they didn't get paid. Also the Kipling poem about Tommy Atkins cheered off the war but ignored when he returned home.
Recently discovered you and your channel and I think its great. In one of your videos you say if there's anything we would like to see etc. I'd love for you to tell the full story of joining the Military and going through sniper school. I spent just over seven years with the Royal Engineers serving in Uk, Germany and Canada. I'd love to hear all about it. I know what you mean regarding PTSD, my room mate was burned alive in Bosnia, we lost 4 guys in a horrific vehicle smash in Germany and in another instance whilst out on Soltau plain in high winds a tree fell and crushed a lad to death. But you know what it's like, the powers that be just expect you to crack on. My wife worries about my mental state sometimes too. I'm obsessed with security, driving different routes home or to work, always checking my arcs. Instinct I think, I don't know. Anyway keep up with the amazing venture and content brother, respect
I think you're very brave doing what you do while having hypervigilenst. Nice to see you're not hiding away at home. Love your videos and the fact that you talk about mental health issues. You're definitely helping more people than you think. All the best from Mick in Australia.
Cheers Mick mate ! 👊
Thanks for the awesome video, Craig. It was lots of fun. Thanks for mentioning men's mental health again. Very helpful every time for us!! Hang in there yourself. You're an inspiration. Much love. Also, we so bad want to come to a camp with you but way too far across the pond for now. We're going camping next weekend on a disc golf course so we can wake up and play 18 holes!! Stay awesome! Until next vid. 💕
Enjoy mate !!!
You're adventures are so epic Chris. You're truly a legend. Cheers from Canada.
👊🤙👏👌😎
his name is Craig dude
@@EastAnglianBushcraft Sorry now I know you're real name Craig.
Wow, what a bizarre coincidence. A few weeks ago just before I had my brain hemorrhage I was thinking about using a roundabout for a secret garden. I thought that nobody else would think of going there.
Thanks for sharing 👍
At least now I know to be aware of crack heads frequenting roundabouts. There's quite a bit of woodland near my house so maybe I just need to put more effort into scoping out an alternative location.
This is the first time I've seen any of your videos, which is why it seems like an even bigger coincidence. I too love the idea of stealth/wild camping. However after what I've dealt with recently I need to rebuild my self confidence. Hopefully after I've seen a few more of your videos I will be able to gain more inspiration
😀
Love the videos mate, keep them coming, they are part of my chill time after work with a Hazy or 2
Wonderful bro, just wonderful👏👍Stuart Morgan-Ayrs dug me out of a deep hole 12 years ago. Hypervigilence was a byproduct of the shite I went through... He convinced me to view this as a strong, positive and 'protector' trait. My civvi pals understand this and our lass appreciates it🥰👌💪 Bless you for flagging this up. KTF🙏
Nice one brother 👊👊👊👏💚
Subbed to enjoy your life adventures. I dream of just getting out there and away from all the bull. You guys that have served have a different outlook on life and what really living is. Thank you for all you gave.
💚
Thank you for sharing your skills with us 😎 loved your content and subscribed 😎
Love your enthusiasm and naughtiness Craig. That video made me chuckle🤘

Mate your an absolute legend love your videos and im doing my first wild camp next weekend my mental health isn't so good your an inspiration my friend and you got me into brewdogs hazy Jane's there lovely keep it up thanks for your service to
legit skills applied to roundabout stealth camping. EPIC
I’ve never seen so much East Anglia, it looks a lot like Seattle, WA USA; except the signs look funny and everyone’s driving on the wrong side of the road.
Cheers for this man. Was really interesting and entertaining. I have PTSD also and didn't know the term hypervigilance. It makes it easier to explain to people which is often a bit of a challenge
Thanks mate
Sipping on a hazy Jane under a cam net...bliss mate. Great work mate
👊👊👊
Hi I've just found your channel and I'm mesmerised by it I can't believe what's possible when you have that kind of training and know what your doing.
You seem incredibly young to be a veteran but I don't doubt it for one moment.
How long were you in the forces for and what regiment did you serve with, sorry for all the questions but I'm fasinated, oh and by the way I've subscribed 😀
The horse rider dismount can also be seen on old buildings.
When I first saw one many years ago I thought who on earth would make steps on the side of an old building with no doorway 😂 . Then it occured to me it was a mount/dismount step .
It could also be a milk churn stand. In the days before milk tankers dairy farmers would load their full milk churns onto a cart, wagon or tractor and trailer and place them on a stand. The collector would then draw up next to the stand and transfer them to his wagon or cart. The elevated platform meant that the farmer only had to lift a heavy churn(s) once, onto the cart, trailer or wagon. He could transfer them to the stand with no more heavy lifting. Equally the collector could transfer the churns without having to lift them any significant distance. It helped save everyone's aching back.
On behalf of Gibraltar Trading Co. Cheers for the shoutout! Keep doing the good work and spreading the love bro! Also massive well done for highlighting mental health in men. The only way to make it as normal as it should be is to chat about it. Then people know they are ok to chat! Cheers bro!

How odd this appeared in my feed, I’m a rock climber/ boulderer and I had an urge to wild camp this weekend with a mate, just popped into my head. So we’re off up to the lakes, spot of climbing and camping..fresh coffee. Yes please.
Keep it up bud ;)
You legend, camping on a roundabout, wouldn't be me like! Still doing a Scotland group camp I hope!? Vids are great as always keep them coming man!
You need to make a cook book for all your lovely meals 👌✌️
Cheers Lewis lad !! 👏🔥👊
Brilliant - like a 12 yr old playing at Soldiers, the wheelies made me laugh out loud.
As small kids we loved playing on East End Bomb sites, late 50s early 60s often saw and (understandably) told to avoid the ex military Human Shrapnel souls that still frequented them.
Civilians were still struggling to get their own lives back together but we just had fun.
Although Support for our ex Military has improved greatly. I find it desperately sad, in a time when most of us have better safer lives because of those who stand up, fight and protect us, we have to beg or raise funds for the invisible souls needing help and support. I am forever grateful and humbled.
Thank you for your honesty, the entertaining vids and for giving back.
Thankyou mate !
This was the first time watching any of your videos, enjoyed it & found it very amusing.
Thank you 😁
As a man that lives in King Lynn and loves bushcraft I subscribed without even watching. Keep it going and looking forward to more content
Near Sainsbury's petrol station there's a guy living in a massive nest with a tent inside it... A few minutes up the path towards homebase, there's the remains of an enormous camp that must've been two or three big tree houses with generators,computers, carpets water tanks, the lot. Looks like it was all burned down about ten years ago. I would have liked to have seen pictures of people living there - must've been impressive.
Where is that ?? Sounds interesting
I feel like I've got the PTSD thing you have. I have CCTV and I'm always watching and waiting for something to happen. I've had a lot of things happen in the past.

I'm enjoying the game i am seeing play out of the challenges within the possibilities of camping undercover in that one might seek out difficulties in order to face them methodically and present this in a story on youtube. what a great joy to follow. thank you for your service to the community my bro

I often drive straight over round about's in my Landover. 🤟🏴
As a veteran myself I totally grok your takeon the term 'stealth camping'. Compared to what the average digger does every night in the field, most of what is shown on TH-cam is hardly truly stealthy camping. I have a camp planned tonight in a spot near my home that I am sure will work well so long as I don;t do anything dumb... but you never know and that is the appeal I guess. I understand about the hyper-vigilance you mentioned and luckily haven't experienced that for decades (I'm 60) but you are spot on that it helps to talk to someone who has been there and can empathise. I subbed.
👊👊👊
Nice on mate, slept right through on a roundabout! Brilliant.
Appreciated
Wow. Learn something new today Bro. As a Veteran myself, you like a Brother from another mother. SALUTE
do one where you sneak onto a traveller campsite and blend in...
Great video the officers on duty would never know they had extra protection overnight.
😂😂👏👏💚🔥
What a great adventure, thanks for giving me some inspiration, going to look at doing some stealth camping and cycle touring, planning a trip already, Buckinghamshire to Rendlesham forest with a couple of stops on the way, just need to convince a couple of mates now.
Love this 😀 what a legend , top work Graig.

Just a bit of warning mate: if your front wheel has a quick detach and you plan on going fast or on a long ride please check it during the ride. My stepdad had his come loose and he's still in physio for a mangled shoulder- broke in 6 or 7 different places
everything has an element of danger bud, a crash on the motorway has a high chance of life-changing injuries but millions of people do it.
@@jonjohnson2844 of course it does, I'm just spreading awareness for a piece most people don't check often bud
@@Slowhandinnawoods oh yeah totally get it mate, I've been riding bikes with quick release for about 25 years and just never had an issue...more worried about how easy they are to nick!
You should do more stealth camping right under people's noises. Most just camp in silly places , at least you did it right next to old bill. You should try right next to a army camp or in police grounds etc .
Love your camps . You are a good man to share with others . Best to ya .
Loved this mate, nice to see you use your skills for a stealthy one!
Ey up. Start of the vid with you on the bike and the wind in your hair had me rolling 🤣 Nice shout out to Paddy and mental health awareness, brother. 🤜🤛💚

Oh paddy the baddy
Well done on the roundabout camp.... would love to see you do a graveyard camp mate. All the best, legend.
Thanks mate and oh it’s coming 🤙
As adventurous as that sounds, it kinda disrespectfull don't you think?
@@niekpriest8046 probably if he slept on a grave, I'm suggesting a unoccupied area of a graveyard.
Top man great idea. Thoroughly enjoyed watching. Keep up the great documenting and education
Thanks mate
I forgot to mention that I have previously had a stroke, I have brain damage and also pseudo brain tumour / IH - the culprit (now I am kept alive my meds). What you did on the roundabout was gung-ho / 'out there' and the sort of thing that would make life magic for a day (or so for me)! It was brilliant. I also do off the wall things like that. It sometimes helps me deal with the sobriety of reality! PLEASE Keep it up, just BRILLIANT!!!!
This guy cooks a better meal on a roundabout than most of urban dudes cooking in their homes 😂
When I was 20 I was hitch hiking from Norwich to my folk in N. Wales. Around 11pm I’d been trying to thumb a lift from a roundabout on the A55 to do the last 40 miles. Gave up for the night and after looking around realised the middle of the of the roundabout was the only place with some thick bushes and plenty of cover. Had a good nights sleep under the foliage and got home in the morning.
I just came across your channel. I'm an Australian veteran with PTSD. I too have hyper vigilance. If it wasn't for my meds I wouldn't sleep at all. Subscribed.
Love how serious you looked when doing the interview after the bike race :D
Good effort on stealth camp on r/a cam and concealment all arcs of fire covered in your scratcher 😆 brings back memories from my days in the military very nostalgic also had problems with mental health love you yt channel helps to escape reality I've also taken to cycling alot and hiking now want to do the wild camping you are inspirational to watch pal keep up the good work buddy love to meet maybe one day and maybe by you a hazey 👍 👌 omg hypervigilance that sounds like me
Thanks Terry mate 👊👊👊💚
Love your videos Craig, but without wanting to be a killjoy this recent trend of camping on a roundabout is frought with danger. I'm ex plod and have lost count of the number of RTCs I attended where the driver has managed to drive through a roundabout - don't need to be a rocket scientist to work out the consequences for some poor soul camping there
The man's gotta good point, don't knock him. I met a police motorcyclist at a bike rally, was telling me how he he had to look for a bikers head that was separated from the body and still in the helmet. The old bill see loads of awful shit, and a dead or badly injured camper 'avin a bit of fun' on s roundabout is all they need
Nice stealth camp, just realised that’s the roundabout I go past on my way to work , love watching your videos, cheers David
Do you think you will ever do a video of the storys you had in the armed forces Love the content
To be honest with you lots of ex service men and women want to forget what they saw and done, if you talk about it you relive it and it doesn’t help your mental health at all.
He’s running around all stealth like…meanwhile hundreds of people driving round the roundabout “look at that nutter camping out on the roundabout haha”
Don't know why but I can't stop watching this video. Good one mate👍
One of my subs suggested I look at your channel so here I am. This looks right up my alley

Mate, I love you and your vids. Camping on roundabouts is dumb. It takes one drunk driver to turn that vlog into an obituary.
Yes you are super ninja sniper sensei trained, drivers are not.
Be careful bud, please 🙏
Il take the odds mate! But appreciate what your saying 💚🤙👊
Just came across your channel, absolutely class mate 👌 Best roundabout camp yet this one, I've just subbed so looking forward to more great videos 📹 👏 All the best Chris 👍
Big fan of Off Camping. Something strangely compelling about a roundabout. Cheers!

Hi mate. Absolutely love your video s man. Hope you r keeping well and looking forward to another shelter camp.
Great adventure to a local roundabout. Fantastic raising the issues around PTSD. I used to reside in East Anglia, now I am in Australia; you have a new sub.
Welcome to Australia mate, here's a cold one for ya' 🍺👍
Love this video. Well done, love it. I think your very inspiring. Awesome!
Nice to see someone else coping with their PTSD, don't feel so alone now opo, the hyper vigilance is the worst, only sleeping lightly never ever a deep sleep.
Cheers.
