In his latest video, Alex demonstrates how he plans to sleep in his VW Polo. We are also taken on a road trip to Halfords Car Park and he spends a night outside an Airport waiting for a flight!
The lad sure is living the dream!

It's hard to watch ... I honestly believe he's struggling mentally.
I'm sure I'm not the only one .

If that´s the case, then those closest to him should reach out and offer some support, because going it alone is an uphill battle without support
Genuinely hope that isn´t the case, and just needs to get his knob polished.

Not that it particularly affects me, but doing a travel style vlog with reach out to a bigger audience on YouTube, and I suppose bigger audiences equals bigger paydays
There are quite a few YouTubers,who do and have done this sort of alternative content or for some it becomes a lifestyle..
I mentioned many times on here,I do fishing without rods,ie survivalist, bushcraft, bike packing etc..it's a way of temporarily removing ones self from mankind and all the rubbish that comes with modern living, for a short while you can 'drop out'
In fact ,in the woods,nearby someone has done just that,they've had enough and now lives in tent ,by a stream,complete with solar charger..,filters etc..
As for Alex ,good luck..

Some of my best memories were made living out of a hatchback. You could argue that people knocking a young bloke doing what he enjoys and monetising it in favour of a normal 9 to 5 actually want their heads testing.
If he did, however, have mental health issues then giggling about it on social media is really going to be big help.
Grow up ffs. His new fishing partner has boobs, he has a giiiiirlfriend..
Get a life, but don't record and broadcast it because somebody with little else on and a small appendage will probably ridicule it

Me and my girlfriend traveled all over the west coast of America in her Kia. We'd sleep I there most nights and camp on others then treat ourselves to a motel every now and again. We did it for months and it was a brilliant experience.
Maybe people are jumping to conclusions here. The bloke might just fancy it.

Who?
“ Then getting in the car and driving to Scotland made me think of (Alan partridge) when he suffered a mental breakdown and drove to Aberdeen with no shoes on and whilst eating toblerones
“
That would be you.
You probably don't know anybody who's suffered mental health issues or acted on suicidal thoughts, not saying it's the case here as I don't know these lads or their videos. But that sort of public ridicule wouldn't help or be amusing

Thing that surprises me is that nowadays, it´s so easy to publicly ridicule someone on social media, without even taking the time to think about the devastating effect and consequences it can cause to one´s mental degradation.
Social media has taken another turn for the worse, with online bullying increasing exponentially. Sometimes with direct intent or indirect, but the target in question, if not in a stable state of mind, can suffer drastically.
Social media is a "forum for free speech" for constructive criticism and discussion, and not schoolyard bullying.
Not referring to anyone directly, in this thread, but just a general thought, that everyone should at some stage, take a step back and filter their thoughts, before hammering away at the keyboard.
Unfortunately, not everyone is mentally equipped to withstand a barrage of negative attacks to one´s pysche. Others might brush it off as abit of harmless banter, but others might experience the exact opposite. Rant over
Back to Carl & Alex
Alex, wish you the best mate, with your future endeavours 
Sometimes you just need to get away from it all I usually take a long walk in the forest, find an old oak tree & give it hug Keeps me grounded

I think people are reading far too much into all of this.He wants to do his own thing,he has lived and worked with his brother and that must get hard regardless how close you are.He loves his outdoor pursuits and has met a girl and has been travelling back and forth to Austria.He might be in he happiest place he has been in for a long time,doing his own thing with a new partner to do it with.Good luck to him 👍

I agree.
I'm an identical twin and while we get on like a house on fire we got to a certain age and we had to go our separate ways to avoid killing each other. Best thing we ever did, we're best mates to this day.
I'd expect Alex just wants to be Alex and not Carl & Alex. Being thought of as a pair does your head in after a while. Fair play to the guy. Best of luck to him.

Going on a few trips to do a little soul searching just shows they were raised right and have a positive view of this ****t1 world we live in at the moment... there are so many "kids" these days just doing all sorts of deviant things in their neighborhoods, drink, smoke all kinds of sh1t and kill each other with a knife... Really wish more kids would go on a trip like that...
