I’m a house dweller but I always zigzag and hope my neighbours don’t talk to me

Hats off to you both! You both look happy, rested, and overall content with your choice to live surrounded by nature. Most people are surrounded by concrete and look unhappy, chronically tired, and generally miserable and with terrible Health.
Myself, I chose to live in a small cottage and maintain an acre of fruit and olive trees on the Southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada in Granada, Spain. The day we moved in, I cut off the TV cable. It's not easy taking care of the land but it's been an adventure. We keep bees, recently adopted a cat that turned up one day, and are currently getting set up for keeping chickens for eggs. I could never live in a town or city. A a natural life is the best life. 😊

When I was younger I used to do loads of carp fishing at night and you learnt how to speak quietly, see better in the dark, walk quietly even in woodland, hide lights at night etc, these days when in walk in the dark with friends (on the way home from the pub!) they are amazed how I walk and can disappear in woodland. It's practice and eventually it all comes together.

I've been homeless a few times due to mental health and paranoia. The worst thing about surviving outside is that your health will decline. It doesnt matter how much soap and bottle water you have, trying to have a proper full body wash outside in the cold is nigh on impossible. This effects your hygiene and your mental state. Without good hygiene your health will decline, without a good diet and hot food and drinks your body will start to suffer. After a few weeks of living like this depression starts to set in and life can become thoroughly miserable. Society will leave you alone because you start to look a bit ragged and smell a bit funky. And so you end up being lonely very quickly. When I was younger and before my mental health became very bad I had good well paid jobs that allowed me to live in beautiful homes in the countryside, and when you are homeless you pass by homes like this and the regret of past choices and your current position can be incredibly debilitating. That sense that you have lost everything and can never be happy again is crippling. If you are living outside for fun or for an experiment then brilliant, you will learn a lot about yourself and the countryside. But if you are living outside because of circumstances, be very careful and try to get a roof over your head as soon as possible, in the summer it can be fun, but in winter months it can be terrible, so bad that I've considered suicide many times. When you have nothing left in life and no one left to love or be loved by it soon becomes obvious that your ending will have very little or no impact on society whatsoever, and so you wonder why are you putting yourself through this misery. Please be careful out there, please look after each other, and if mental health is a problem for you, please try and get help as soon as possible. MERRY Christmas everyone and remember that there are people out there in a lot worse position than you no matter how bad you think your problems are. ❤

I remember when I was a little boy, my parents took us to live in New Romney in Kent. ( 1973 to 1975 ). I spent ages crawling through the coastal vegetation behind the beaches. There were established paths and I never understood what created them. It was a dream world to me. I was a 7 year old Australian boy who hated the way the beach was shingle instead of sand but I found a compensating feature just behind the beaches. You have reminded me how wonderful and varied the British countryside is. I also appreciate the varied ways of thinking one finds in Britain. Thanks for the video and opening my eyes once again.

Hi from Devil's Elbow, Missouri in the Midwest USA all your points are spot on congrats and I learned a few tricks too thanks .

[OlgasBritishFells]

Zig-zagging tip is brilliant. I'll try it at work tomorrow.

[clives]

What courage you both have shown to break the rules…Respect to you both from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[danflowers]

Most excellent video and advice. Much thanks to the both of you. I was ex military but brought my son up teaching him these things just in case he needs the knowledge one day. You earned a subscriber :) Cheers.

[corblimeytrousers]

You are evidently very seasoned " woodpeople" Great tips here. Thanks for sharing your knowledge so generously...best wishes to you both!

[peterwill]

Good on these two, it seems from smile lines in the eyes that they are proper happy being nomadic and living out in nature and they seem to respect people and the land. Sensible advice too.

[chrislesse]

I don’t know why YouTube put this in my recommendations but I like it!👍

I used to hitchhike a lot around France, Spain and the UK. I would often sleep outside and always found cemeteries to be the safest place. After all, it’s not the dead you need to worry about

[johngranger]

Loved the video, as a kid I used to love camping and being outdoors, but modern life and family life has put a stop to that. I think it’s a natural urge in all of us to live a life like yours, it’s in our DNA to be more at home with nature and live in it. The Government the population being independent, they would hate even if a small percentage of the populace did this. Good for you guys ❤

[clives]

Never even thought people would even look. Really Good tips would never have given this any thought.

You two are Experts - Brilliant!!

Hope you remain undetected

First time here, I subscribed. Good honest people sharing their knowledge and experience. Keep the videos coming !

Been doing this kind of thing for over 50 years. No fire and watching your tracks and trails are important. Out of sight and out of mind is a must. Game trails are good but people tend to follow them as well so not good to camp near them. All large animals tend to avoid thickets so you can use them as a barrier. Trails tend to enter clearings at a corner, so that's also a high traffic area. I tend to walk along trotten paths rather than on them. I also learned as a boy to walk from the side of my feet inward rather than stomping flat.
I really like your video and it's always good to see kindred spirits.

[theredkitesepiceverything]

Just subscribed from here in London.Brilliant! I do a wild camp once a month, on an island in the middle of a field in the middle of Hertfordshire.My way to leave this crazy world😉

[NeilBarratt]

I used to do long hitch hiking trips when I was young. One of my favourite places to sleep was on a largish roundabout, because no one goes there apart from occasional maintenance crews who work "Office " hours.
This video appeared randomly on my feed but it's a sparked a long dormant interest. I'll watch more.

[samsonsilverhand]
