@ObsidianUrbex Sadly, it's the internet so you only get a picture of cake

Yay thanks so much! I was apprehensive, but I definitely feel it was the best decision. Not too many hitches, and looking forward to connecting with the wider fediverse again 💃

@ObsidianUrbex how many secret bases do you have?

@MachineLordZero
I believe it's important to maintain a global network of secret bases, stocked with snacks and coffee. And seal plushie. However, I am unable to publicly disclose how many exactly🙏🏻☺️

Did you ever get any interiors of the Twin Odeon in Bradford before it got renovated to become Bradford Live?

@ObsidianUrbex I love your work. How do you figure out where to go? Is it difficult to sustain your lifestyle of traveling and taking photos?

@trevdev
Thanks Trev! The key to it all, both aspects, is planning! I plan 3-4 trips abroad a year, but also most weeks I go out at least once to visit and get more content (or, a few days away). Nearly always researching spots or making road plans, it never evens 🤣

Also started to make simple video shorts as well, which is exciting!

I am a big wild campe dan, so I am usually hanging out in a forest in my hammock at night. Saves a lot on hotels 😅

@ObsidianUrbex housing has got to be one of the biggest blockers. If you're roughing it people often get in the way! I had a neighbor taking creepy photos of a camper van with some dude clearly down on his luck trying to fix it and move on.

Maybe you've got tips for how to stay free and discreet!

I'd love to see the shorts wherever they end up

Ah I have never had much issues to be honest, mostly I even solo camp!

When wild camping I hike a short way to not be easily discoverable.

My hammock I cover with a tarp to nearly floor level, I keep lights and cooking equipment low and stealthy. I opt to pitch later, at dusk and also to leave very early. Always moving on every morning. Photo is my typical set up, with my mid-season tarp which is shorter.
