DayZ hyperfixation

Ah, the digital realm of YouTube – a place I've explored with fervour! For those who are acquainted with me, it's no secret that I harbour a deep fondness for this platform. Flashback to the early-mid 2010s, and you'll find me immersed in the world of recording "let's plays" – a delightful stint that left me yearning for more. The allure of returning to this creative endeavor tugs at me, though crafting a new system for the purpose is a step I must take to continue. I'm thrilled to introduce you to a league of extraordinary YouTube content creators in the realm of DayZ – (If you have not heard of this one it is an open-world survival video game that has been around for the last decade, where players navigate a post-apocalyptic landscape, scavenging for resources, interacting with others, and battling both zombies and fellow survivors. Its immersive environment, realistic survival mechanics, and player-driven interactions create an intense and unpredictable gameplay experience.)

Now, if these names don't ring a bell, it's high time you give them a virtual visit. Trust me, your face is in for a smiley treat! 😄

• TheRunningManZ's Channel
• SourSweet's Channel
• LottieTwitch's Channel
• FRANKIEonPCin1080p's Channel (A classic, but the player is focusing on being a Lawyer nowadays)
• SadaPlays channel

These luminaries of DayZ have mastered the art of crafting content that's both captivating and grin-inducing. So, if you're seeking a quick escape to a world of virtual adventures, I implore you to venture forth into these digital realms.

As the saying goes, "The journey of a thousand videos begins with a single click." Okay, maybe I slightly adapted that, but you catch my drift! Without further ado, hit that play button and let the magic unfold.

Until next time! 🙋‍♂️

 

New hobby unlocked: Hiking and Wild Camping

My ongoing journey of adulting has led me to some delightful areas that seem to resurrect mnay parts of my childhood. Who would have guessed that the world of hiking and wild camping would capture my heart? It all began with a curious twist of fate when I joined a medieval reenactment group (More on that in a future post!). My quest for knowledge about crafting bows pulled me down the YouTube rabbit hole, unveiling a treasure trove of bushcraft and wild camping videos. Memories of my youthful escapades in the outdoors, hitting the Lochs and rivers , fishing rod in hand, or walking home with friends through woodland pretending to be Rangers from Dungeons and Dragons, or Baldur's Gate.

In this digital wilderness, I chanced upon a band of exceptional YouTube adventurers whose content I feel compelled to share with you:

• WildBeare's Channel
• MyLifeOutdoors' Channel
• FitforAdventure's Channel
• HazeOutdoors' Channel

Yet among this band of intrepid content creators, a particular spark ignited my enthusiasm like no other – WildBeare. Her videos have an uncanny ability to plaster a grin across my face, no matter the circumstances. 😄

So, let's talk about the recent escapades that have infused my summer with the spirit of adventure. Picture this: traversing the Scottish North Coast 500, my trusty campsite a wild patch of heaven; or nestled within Wales' Snowdonia National Park, the very essence of nature's majesty surrounding me; and just this past weekend, finding myself beneath the open skies in the embrace of the Ochill mountain range near Stirling, Scotland.

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. So, without further ado, allow me to share a few snapshots from my summer adventures:

My journey into the realm of adulthood has become an enchanting tapestry woven with threads of nostalgia and newfound passions. Stay tuned for more tales of adventure, as I continue to explore the wonders of the world around us. Until then, remember to embrace your inner adventurer and let your spirit roam free! 🌄🏞️🏕️
