Freddie Campbell

Hiking, camping and kit

I'll be giving you guided walks of some of some of the most beautiful places in the UK with downloadable maps, so you can take a look and then experience them for yourself.

Along the way we'll be having chats about kit, cooking recipes and camping experiences. Flow, my black Lab, will almost certainly be featuring in everything.

The reason I started this channel was that I was getting old, fat and stressed out by modern life. I had heart surgery, I was in therapy, I was on anti depressants and had become a recluse. Something had to change.

In an attempt to get healthy and regain my sanity, I went back to my first experience of peace and calm - hiking in the countryside. My goal is to have no goal, no targets, no charts or measurements - just to live life better.

Come and join me on the journey, it will be fun.

Freddie

    I am going to be Truly honest, I don't believe I could ever put my Fur Babies to sleep if something were to happen, I would just leave it in God's hands! ALL the dogs God gave me died at home. I feel the pain of many and am crying while watching, death is Truly the saddest thing one can experience and the Tears flow, yet we find solace in God and those around us. I have hope one day I will see my Fur Babies in heaven! God Bless You ALL!

    Do cats count as your best friend? Because I have a loving cat who loves to follow me everywhere I go and is a big foodie😁 I can’t bear if anything happens to him and if this time comes, I’ll probably be crying just like Freddy.

I lost my little buddy in february it broke me but once he started collapsing and wouldnt eat i knew it was time, he had heart problems and medication had been working well for 3 years, i miss him so much but i had 13 good years with him and lots of memories.

    I just put mine down on 7/8/24. She was 15 years old and had kidney disease which was diagnosed in March. I commend you for being there. I was inches from her face while she panted and had no cares in the world. Like she used to. I watched the injection go in. Not processing that this was it. I kept it together and because she was blind and deaf at this point, I took my thumb and place it on her tongue while she panted. Then I blew softly in her face so she could smell me. Her nose had crusted one nostril shut but she took the time to sniff the air I was blowing. Then I watched her head slowly fall towards the table. With the tip of her tongue hanging out. I held her head with one hand and guided it softly to the table. The vet and her assistant rolled my baby girl onto her side and I stood opposite of the vet with my hand on my girl’s side. I felt no breathing. Vet listened for heartbeat and after about 20 seconds she looked at me and said she was gone. I kissed my girl on her neck, where I’ve done it many times before, and started to head out. I turned back around and saw her opened eyes. I reached down again and kissed on the bridge of her nose saying, “Thank you for being such a good girl.” That was two days ago for me and I’m stuck in grief. She loved people. She loved engaging with them. Playing. Pets. Treats. If you were somebody new, she loved you until you gave her a reason not to. And nobody did that. She didn’t love anything anymore when I made the decision. Only treats. I know it was the time but it still sucks. Watching this video, I’m right there with you. My heart goes out to you and let me know how you are currently doing. What did you do to cope?

    I am so sorry for your loss. I understand the pain 100% and my heart hurts with you. They are so much more than pets, they are family and that makes them loved ones too. There are no words that can be spoken or actions that can be taken to stop the pain, only time. We NEVER get “over it” as some people have said. We will never forget or get over their loss, we only learn to live with the pain and emptiness as time goes on. In time, you will smile when thinking of the fond memories and funny antics. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that death is NOT the end, it's the beginning for both human and animals!! I know this because the bible tells us: ALL innocent creatures go to be with our creator God the Father upon death and that includes the animals! Only humans have sinned, all animals are innocent. Human's have a choice but not animals, they live and function on instinct. Just as people receive new bodies the animals do as well. Their bodies will be those that were before the fall of creation. When Adam and Eve ate of the fruit, everything fell from perfection. Birds even began singing in a different key! The breath of life that God breathed into Adam and Eve is the same breath of life that God breathed into the animals, except God breathed into the animals first! Genesis 2:19-25 - God created animals first and Adam named every living creature or beasts of the field! The animals were important to God. When God breathed a spirit into Adam’s body, Adam became nephesh: “living being” or “soul”. The same Hebrew word “nephesh” is used for both animals and people! Genesis 1:30; 7:15, 22 Genesis 2:7 that animals and man have the same breath of life! The bible also talks of a child placing his/her hand into the hole of an Asp (deadly snake). The animals also spoke before the fall of creation! Remember the serpent spoke in the Garden of Eden Numbers 22:28 - The donkey spoke, through God, the donkey’s tongue was loosened. The donkey could also see the angel, this shows intelligence. Are the animals closer to God than man? Yes, for they are totally innocent and know no sin! They also were a substitute until the birth of Jesus. In the book of Enoch, which is one of the lost books of the bible, Enoch speaks of the animals testifying against man at the great white throne judgment! Those who are born-again and have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will spend eternity with our loved ones who went first and that includes the animals! Romans 8:21: That the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Luke 12:7 - God provides for animals just as for man. He knows when a sparrow falls, none are forgotten before God. Joel 1:20 - The animals cry unto God just as mankind does. Jesus loves the animals! Imagine our love on earth. Jesus has perfect love (agape love), after all he suffered and died an agonizing death on the cross for us. His love for the animals and his creation is perfect and as humans we cannot begin to understand. Proverbs 12:10 - The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but even the kindness of godless men is cruel”. Animals aren’t created in God’s image nor are they equal to humans, however we are their caretakers. Nevertheless, there is biblical evidence animals have non-human souls. Nephesh and psyche are translated “soul” for mankind, but these are also used with animals. God made certain the animals were saved from the flood, and we know from scripture they most certainly are going to be on the refreshed, new earth. When Moses and the Hebrews left Egypt, their animals went too. We need to see that animals and man share something special - we are both living beings. Something one must remember is that Adam and the animals lived happily in the Garden before the fall and will again. Don't forget, when God cursed the 2 people, the animals and whole earth fell under that same curse! That is why some animals now have a “less than loving” nature. Once we’re enjoying the new earth, they will be as they were in the Garden of Eden! Proverbs 12:12 (NLT) - We are to be stewards of animals. We are caretakers, but they belong to God, not us. For all the animals of the forest are mine, and I own the cattle on a thousand hills. Every bird of the mountains and all animals of the field belong to me Psalm 50:10-11, Psalm 148:10-13, Revelation 4:8-9; 5:13 Animals also praise God. We fail to zero in on scripture that says the “living creatures” that cry out “holy, holy, holy” are animals dwelling in God’s presence. Our Lord Jesus Christ in Revelation 21:5 proclaims “I am making all things new”. Revelation 5:13 - Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praised and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” Romans 8 - Creation itself will be free from its bondage, the whole creation has been groaning. Man sinned, animals did not but they were still brought down by human sin. That is a terrible truth of sin; it effects both the innocent and guilty. Romans 8:21 - Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. I am so thankful my mother and I were able to do this study, she died shortly after. Being human, we are selfish and want to keep our loved ones with us forever. As long as I/we are on earth, I will always miss her and wish she had not left us. I can't wish her back here out of heaven, that would be the ultimate act of selfishness!! I would not want her to suffer further because now, she is free of all her pain and is in paradise with Jesus (Luke 23:43). My mother was born-again and so am I, so I will see her again. Most of all we will spend eternity in heaven with Jesus. I look forward to that day.

    Hello. I'm Dan from Tennessee, USA. Thank you for putting together this series of videos. I am facing this impossibly hard decision myself with my angel shepherd, Heidi. She has stage 3 terminal cancer. For now her quality of life is good, and for me quality of life is more important than quantity of days. I'd much rather have ten amazing days with her than 6 months of chemo, and misery, and agony. You're video has helped put all this into perspective for me. Thank you for that. And please accept my condolences for your devastating loss. God bless you in your future. 🙏

    I can never understand why it’s ok to put an animal to sleep but it’s not ok for a human to be euthanised after all a dog can’t ask to be put to sleep it’s already been decided by others and I don’t believe it’s right for a vet to take the decision to put an animal at least a human can decide.
