More Bad News (Patreon Paused)
Added 2024-06-21 16:35:27 +0000 UTC
I'm really sorry folks, I'm starting the feel like main stream news at the moment with all the less than pleasant shit going on, which is the reason why I've decided to pause Patreon until things have improved over here.
I must stress no Patreon payments will be taken at the end of this month nor in the period until I have some content to share with you again. You'll still have full access to Patreon and the back catalogue of videos.
Thank you for your understanding during this rough patch.
C.J
Take care mate , get back on the road and get your head clear ✌🏼❤️

Take your time and remember we love you you two so much.
Thank you for everything you have ever done for us. We are here if you need us.

Hi mate. This sort of stuff is always really hard, but when so much of your life is lived in public it must be so much worse. Dunno if Emma can see this somehow, but we all wish her the best too. Most folks have said it, please consider letting us chip in for future content and none somehow to help get you through.
As much as your life online has it's costs, there are also potential benefits you haven't discovered yet. You could reach out to the unknown followers for support. Visit some of our towns / homes etc, either for content or for human contact that no-one need never hear about. There's a lot of love for you. Life is tough. For all the noisy keyboard wankers, the silent majority just want to see others living their best life and sharing the journey. Stay strong.

No worries mate. Take your time to get your head straight. If you feel like talking, some of us will always be here. Reach out, talk, hell.. even cry on our shoulders if needs be.. we'll be around. Stay strong, mate. It hurts, but it too will pass.. *bro hug*

Thank you for this - I’m another one who will still be hanging around whatever happens 💙🐾♥️. This and a few other moments in your videos reminds me of Tony in AB Camping - he does “cigar time” in his. The main resemblance is his authenticity and bravery - recently his young dog Bruno died and his video sharing that news https://youtu.be/cwHNV_LI2sk?feature=shared He’s a New Zealander. It is a tough watch.

Take care, chin up. Feeling for you. You are a great film maker and have a great outlook on life. Things will improve with time, it’s a great healer. We all have ups and downs in life and as they said on the film Jerry McGuire, you just have to roll with the punches as tomorrow is another day ( or something like that 🤔). You have slot of support on hear and looking at the number of views on YouTube, you certainly have a good following. Take care and hope things sort out for you soon. 👍

I wish you peace and calm and serenity. This too shall pass.
With a little time, perhaps the land can be the bolt hole again, but if not, then we will mentally roll where your wheels do.
Internet can suck for many women, which is sad and blows my mind how some people just cannot behave appropriately. :(
I wish you both the best and look forward to when you're feeling able to bring us along your journeys, you and Ash got me through some really tough times when I was sick in bed for months with Covid. Thank you <3

Hang in there CJ. Sometimes when sh1t happens, it results in us going on a new adventure and doing things to which we had been risk averse. I speak as someone who has also had a few difficulties. We all admire you CJ, and you'll come through this stronger.

CJ, so sorry to hear but thank you for letting us know. That must have been so hard to do in such a sad and stressful time.
Please take your time to return, I for one will be here when you return. Also I am not arguing with you but (as others have said) I am happy for you not to pause the contributions. Just sayin’
Anyway, take care of yourself and Lance see you when you’re back.

Connor ,I am a lot older than you, life sometimes sucks and relationships come and go. Some you can think what did I do wrong, others it doesn’t matter what you did wrong or right , it just happens
. I have enjoyed immensely watching you live your best life.
I don’t wish to be you…. Too old ,been there, done that, but still you have given me the opportunity to enjoy the experience of a different life.
We will be here again soon enough
Mike and Cath.

Hi CJ, long time watcher but rarely comment - but this one caught me. In January my wife of 13 years ended our marriage and that has been particularly hard on me as we have three kids, the youngest of which is not even 2 yet. I’ve been to some real dark places multiple times whilst going through this, but time has been a genuinely good healer - I’ve a long way to go but things have got better for me, and easier, so trust that this will be the case for you too. Keep yourself occupied, keep that chin up and worry about yourself and Lance. I’m just a name on the web to you, but free to DM me (if that’s a thing on Patreon) if you want to talk more personally/openly - I did the same with a relative stranger with an objective view and it really helped me. Good luck buddy.

Bugger, I’d rather still continue the financial support, but I will still be here when you return. Your meanderings and general babbling is what keeps me going and I look forward to the weeks news from Portugal.

Time heals wounds. 3/6/9/12 months, what ever the time scale you take all the time you need.
Go on your adventure, find the joy in travelling again and see what you we're planning to do. Film it or not, just take your time, reflect and make a new plan for 2025.
Until then, take care of yourself. We will be here when you are ready. X

I,m sorry you are clearly having a difficult time. I hope that you ,Lance and Emma are all ok. You need to be kind to yourself. Take a break. Do anything that you enjoy . For what it’s worth I think you should be proud of all the stuff you have done . I have really enjoyed watching your content,ups and downs included.
If you can possibly manage it ,don’t sell the land yet. It’s a base for you and in time you may feel like you an go forward with it.
Give yourself some space and time. .virtual hug sent .

Like others here i am happy to continue my pledge ( i know my meager contribution probably wont even buy you a coffee but i am still happy to pay)
I would suggest however that you do not take the cameras along with you on the trip , give it time to clear your head , no video , no social media etc
Will be here when you get back - take care CJ
TheDans34
2024-06-21 17:16:57 +0000 UTC
So sorry to hear this news CJ - take the time away from the camera to make the decisions you need to make. As so many others have said we’re not here to follow every single step you take - we just love supporting someone who’s taken brave decisions in life, works hard, has made stuff happen for himself and is an inspiration to us all. Be back whenever the time feels right. 🙂

2024-06-21 17:13:22 +0000 UTC
Sorry to hear about all this, but I'm glad to hear you've still got a friendship there.
I would never claim to know what someone struggling is going through, but some of the things you said sounded familiar to a degree. I've not long since got out of a relationship (first for a long time) which was very strained because of a lot of very difficult and extreme external factors. We had a trip planned and when we broke up I still went on it solo. It was difficult, but it also felt good to get out there doing things I'd not done in a while because of those external factors.
So I'd say get yourself on that trip if you're feeling up to it, and don't worry about the cameras. It can always be a few stories for the podcast later if interesting things happen.
Dale
2024-06-21 17:11:06 +0000 UTC
Mate having gone through a 35 year marriage break up I really feel for you. I have had a feeling in my water that this was coming but kept it to myself. As for the land, I understand but what a shame to give up all you have done creating what you have. As for the road trip please film it and hopefully bring us along. Even Ash has said having that interaction with his Patreon community has helped him get through some things, let us help you in that way. Also although I and others appreciate you pausing things, but at the end of the day this is your income and how long can you survive without it? Please at least keep in touch so we know that you are getting on OK! You and Lance take care young man!!!!
Chas House

And i dont walk away from your little community here😎😎 i fully understand your mindset, so take your time and we see ya back when the time is there for it.

2024-06-21 17:06:02 +0000 UTC
I'm really sorry to hear about your breakup and it coming with all the other shit you have going on. Your videos kept me going through many many sleepless nights with my newborn daughter back in the day so I hope the good wishes of probably thousands of us can at least give you a small reason to smile when it's all feeling bleak!
So I'm going to argue with you even though I was told not to, because, I'm a dickhead.
Don't pause, we have all been forewarned and can choose if we cancel / pause or not. You're not only making content when you put it out but every single time you pick up the camera regardless of whether you throw it away or not. I would rather my measly contribution per month buy you a beer than remain in my pocket.
I may be genuinely interested in the land, if you could DM me a rough idea on price I can research a little more from there. I can DM my number etc if you want to discuss further via WhatsApp or text or call.
In the words of Winston Churchill, if you're going through hell, keep going.
Rob
2024-06-21 17:02:17 +0000 UTC
Sorry to hear about the breakup dude. Surprised you are selling the land but understandable. I wish I had some really wise words but all can offer is, head down and keep going😁😁🫡🫡

It's videos like this that show why Facebook brought in "reactions" - clicking a heart to this message just doesn't feel right.
Your videos got me through when I was in a bad place, as I'm sure they'll have done for many others, and now it's our turn to return the favour if and when you need it.
You've a wonderful community here on Patreon that you can call upon for support, and I will certainly offer whatever I can.
For now, take the time for yourself and do whatever the hell you want, because you can.

2024-06-21 16:56:34 +0000 UTC
Ah man, that sucks. Sorry to hear. Taking a break is a good idea, taking a trip an even better one. And the Patreon bunch know the drill by now, so take your time and we’ll still be here when you’re out the other side of this, whenever that may be. Best of luck. Safe travels.
