I have some questions about the Slaughter videos. Is it actually supposed to be an arg?

A suggestion for those who insist upon trekking in the mud is to carry a walking stick with you. If you get stuck in the mud take the stick and insert it next to the boot and then move it back and forth alongside the boot. This will help to break the vacuum the mud has created and allow easier extraction of the appendage. Great video Shrimp!

Alternately you can go the aussie way and just be barefoot and put up with a whole bunch of cuts on your feet. Haha, When you're barefoot it's much easier to get unstuck... But that said Koorie mates of mine have lost toes from mudcrabs... So it's possibly not a good idea to do this stuff barefooted...

Sometimes, walking in the mud is not an option. If I wanted to gather some marsh samphire (Salicorna europaea) then out on the mud I go. Yes, I could buy a really expensive little punnet from a supermarket, but it's usually come an horrific distance - usually from, of all places, Egypt. It doesn't taste of a lot. Getting muddy means I can get a good amount of Glasswort, for free, from less than five miles away, which I can eat as I pick it, and which tastes superb.

These videos are such a treat for me. I grew up near the sea but the Black Sea doesn't have high and low tides to such an extent, the water moves maybe a couple of centimeters at most. I know that low tides exist but I've never actually seen one. It makes me ever so slightly uneasy because I'm so used to the shore line being a constant, and the seabed something hidden not a place for walks.

There's something oddly satisfying about the crunching sound of gravel beneath the feet as he travels across the beach.

I’m new to this channel and I can’t explain why, but I really like your intro. Like it just brings a smile to my face for such a simple-ish intro. Makes me a bit hype for the video

As an American I find the ancient history of your country particularly fascinating. Keep it up!

Great as always Sir Mike! My tale of stinky and sinky estuary mud(warning: there's no exciting ending): In college as part of a marine biology course, I assisted with taking core samples In Delaware marshes not far from Rehoboth Beach. The study was focusing on the biological productivity of the marshes. Getting from site to site, we frequently had to get out of the boat to push because the water would only be a few inches deep. It was difficult, because you would usually sink nearly waist deep, or even waist deep, and had an unsettling feeling that you might not stop sinking. Then when we'd get to the sites where we were taking core samples, sites with spartina and/or phragmites grasses, we had to count on the roots so keep us up while we took the samples with what was basically a 20 cm diameter pipe with teeth and handles. You could usually find yourself breaking through the root structure and sinking once again. (Of course we were trying to impact the ecosystem as little as possible, so you basically had to sink vs disturbing a wider area).That was way back and I was in excellent physical shape, and it was the most exhausting thing I've ever done. The fun part was several fish jumping into the boat at one point. A great experience, but you have to be prepared. And in areas with great tidal changes, even moreso.

I am not one to find your nature walks all that relaxing, the way many do, judging by the comments. This time though, the slow walk through a sleepy English town, at the end there, I discover works much in that way on me. 🙂 Happy you included it!🙂

Your video brought back vivid memories of my childhood. As a child, in the 1950s, I lived in Portchester and our house was literally about 100 yards from the shoreline you were walking along. At the time I never knew of anyone successfully walking across to Pewit Island so I look forward to watching your next video when you succeeded. That part of Portsmouth Harbour seems to have changed very little although there used to be a factory called Plucrop where glue used to be manufactured out of animal carcasses; the smell was indescribably awful. Thankfully it has long been closed. Anyway I have earmarked your next video which I will watch later on today.

I really like your exploration content... i.e. hikes, walks, historical sites, etc.

Thank you so much for taking us with you on your adventure. And for taking the time and lengthening your walk to share parts of that beautiful and humorous castle!

My nan & grandad lived in Portchester, that path you took at the end is the path I used to take with my brother and sister to visit and play in the castle all day long. I haven't been there since the 90s but it's still my favourite place in the world. It's not even close. There's a 'Roman' path from roughly The Royal Oak across to Hayling Island which is supposed to be walkable at low tide. I never managed it though. I suspect it's not Roman at all, but built by fishermen. I can't imagine the Romans bothering to make a road just 6' wide

Yes, get to shade/cooling area. I hate the heat, and I grew up with it. The first thing I bought when I started working was an air conditioner for my bedroom. I loved the walk around the castle and grounds. I can imagine the smells and wind thru the portcullis on an early summer day. 35 yrs ago I traveled to southern England, absolutely loved it. Thank you for the trip.

Portchester is only a few minutes drive away from where I live, so I've visited the castle and surrounding area many times. I consider myself very lucky to be able to see this ancient marvel whenever I like. It's impressive now, but what a sight it must have been in it's heyday! There's also a lovely long walk/bike ride from Portchester Castle all the away along the shoreline to Cams Hall at Fareham.

I have been doing a lot of self reflection on why I like these videos/whole channel so much. I tend to consume most video essays on media. But the general nature of this content is not normally something I would pick first to watch. I think it's the authenticity of it all. Just a guy trying to walk to the island for the sake of doing. A guy trying vegan foods just for the sake of trying it. Having a cooking challenge just to challenge yourself and doing it. We should all be more like this, stretching out bounds and trying new things and growing as people.

On 3:57 you can clearly see how those islands is simple tops of underwater hills. Just a few more meters of water and there will be no island. Fascination and...scary.

Enjoying these island videos. Hope you continue with them.

I really loved this video, especially the castle bit. I’m sure i wouldn’t be the only one who’d enjoy a series of you going around different castles.

Thank you for a beautiful walk. I probably never would have seen those exact areas if not for this vid.

Very interesting yes. Thanks for showing the castle, love old castles

Another thoroughly enjoyable video I'm looking forward to the revisit

Seeing a castle in person is a bucket list item for me. It is so cool how you just live near them! I love these walking videos. I live next to a sandy beach, I never really imagined rocky ones existed. Kind of cool how deserted they are, very peaceful for you I bet

Thank you for the attempt and also the tour of the castle and lovely walk.

Amusingly, the captions of your closing comments seemed to think that 'Portchester' was 'Portugal'. Didn't matter that you couldn't get to the island, Mike; it was still a lovely video. You're a great companion to have on a 'wander'. Thank you.

I love that crunch squelch crunch gravel sound. I even love the wind noise on the microphone! I guess I'm strange, heh.

Lovely video! How interesting to see the castle! Here in New Zealand we dont really have any castles or visible historical sites like that.

These are becoming my favourite type of video lately

In Cairns, Australia, people walk on the mud banks using large discs to spread their weight and prevent them sinking into the mud. Imagine something the size of a large laser disk with a broom stick in the centre. The broom stick allows each disc to be lifted to a new position and progress to be made.

I love castles so that was a treat for me! Better than the island! You should add Portchester Castle to the video description!

❤️ very enjoyable - thank you ❤️

We've a few similar locations with regards islands around our own island (Anglesey) "church in the sea" and "Llandwyn" , the latter was a filming location for a TV series where the cast lived the life of early 19th century coastal residents, the name of the series escapes me at the moment. Llandwyn Island is causeway connected however the causeway has built up and rarely floods, only on extreme high tides. We also have "linked" islands such as South Stack linked by a bridge from holy island, which in itself is linked from Anglesey by a permanent embankment.

Love Portsmouth, southsea is lovely too.

What a fantastic video. :)

Thanks for this cool video. We have a castle like structure in our town. It was built less than a 100 years ago. lol

great video!

I've always liked Portchester castle probably one of the best preserved roman forts in England

England is such a fascinating place. With laws and rules that can easily date back to the medieval times possibly even roman times. I've seen various maps of foot paths. Then people would discover another one that is laid dormant for a while. Kind of cool if you ask me. You dont really get that kind of thing in the US. The paths we do is either claimed by emient domain or are in parks/wildlife areas, etc.

England has such a rich & long history. Americans don't know "old". I too found "an old bit of pot" today. A Sativa named "Lemon-Sweet-Skunk" is dated 8/31/21. The HORROR!

Thankyou for sharing.

The castle is very interesting , the southern side has clear elements of Roman construction in the lower courses. St Mary's is still a parish church where local folks worship and it's very pleasant to sit on the grass and watch cricket matches take place. From the top of the Norman castle you can make out the parch marks of a Tudor powder storage building. Oh, and Mr Shrimp. You need a bigger boot. 😂

Time and Tide wait for no Man. I lived near a tidal river when a boy, so many explorations of mangroves and oyster laden rocks

You used to find more pottery, glass, and pipes, up the other end by the common (if the common is still common).

Love the castle

Now I may be mis-remembering, but the paths across Portsmouth Harbour are called 'wades'. These were all man made causeways to get to islands like Pewitt or Horsea. Pewitt might still be a separate island, owned by the Wildlife Trust - but Horsea was extended to become part of Port Solent and the marina, fully accessible by land. But that is MoD, so the original island is out of bounds I guess.

Nice video ! Just wondering; ever walked to the wadden eilanden in Holland ? Something I've always wanted to to but never done yet

It seems odd that the sound of your steps on the gravel/mud is so incredibly loud. You must have an amazing microphone. I had to watch this with the sound off and CC enabled because that sound drives me mental, and it's not something I am able to 'ignore'. Anyway, the sound is so loud, that quite a few times, CC interpreted it as [applause]. Haha, just imagine, hoards of invisible people applauding you as you walk along the shore.

Holy Island really is stunning. The Pilgrim path is shorter than the road and is marked by posts hammered into the mud. There's only enough time to walk one way in each low tide so you either have to get dropped off or spend quite a long time on the island. My daughter and I walked a little way a couple of years ago. Very weird feeling to be walking in the middle of the sea!

I wonder how many spits/narrow peninsulas will become tidal Islands due to sea rise. I bet some tidal islands will become permanent islands and some new tidal islands will be formed
