I've never watched any of this guys videos but after reading this thread have just watched pt. 1, very enjoyable I thought and I will now watch more of his stuff. Cracking mirror he caught too

Really enjoyed parts 1&2. Something a little different to the majority of films that are put out. Does it really matter if some of it isnt,( or appears ) quite as 'off grid' as it actually is? It's a format I haven't seen before and consequently more enjoyable....anyhow,arnt these films a big of escapism for many of us? If they inspire one or two carpers to follow suit, then fair play to Samir/House of Nash!!

I really enjoyed these, I think his editing has come on a lot, at first it was more just vlog style, now much more than that. His talking to camera bits are better too, less repetitive and clearer language.
In particular in these film I thought the soundtrack was excellent and really matched the vibe of the films.
Also the drone shots (often coinciding with the good music) obviously actually suit the theme well with the biking parts but also the asthetic of the scenery, with it being a river you get that view of a linear element going off into the distance with the bike follwing it. Better than just token overhead lake shots.

IMO he hold the rod in that way just to have the tip as high as possible out off dangerous underwater snags close to the bank. I did it when I'm in that situation as well (not that I fish with 6ft rods, obviously ) when there's something dangerous under the rod tip it's natural to lift the rod as high as possible.
That rods seems to me more than a toy that a fishing rod I saw it struggle in a lot of situations during the film. In that adventure they did their job for what they are designed.
The film is very enjoyable, as almost all he have done, the footage are well edited and the quality is high and full of drama as in his style.

Just started part 2, Pt 1 was tremendous, really authentic I thought. If you listen to the nash podcast, his back story about the bike element is quite interesting, he was also a bike mechanic.
Most Nash films I cannot watch, but these are up there as good as anything I have watched.
EDIT: I've sent an email to Nash BTW, to get them to sort out the way he holds his rod.

He's holding the rod handle so low so he can get better video of the rod and reel, its all about the product 
Great videos from Deirdre's toy boy

Yes lads who race MX use drones like this.

I see. Very clever. I suppose it won’t be long before Gash bring out a scope trail bike now.

Modern drones have GPS and 'follow' modes. Those shots of him driving away will likely be the drone on the floor, that then follows him keeping him in center of shot. It's all proper clever stuff these days.

Oh yeah I agree. I'm just countering the peolle in this thread that seem to think he HAD to do it on the bike. He chose the bike because its different, and makes interesting viewing. He absolutely could have fished 10x more effectively using a different mode of transport.

Was he travelling alone ? Some of those drone shots of him on his bike, how does that work ? I haven’t watched it all so there might be an answer that I’m not aware of.

It's his job at the end of the day. Each video needs to be a bit more "extreem" and more of an adventure than the last. He really could have just done it in a car, but it wouldn't look anywhere near as exciting.
I know your not 'having it' and I agree re the car but he did actually say why he was doing it and I say full credit to him. He's injected some excitement into what he was finding to be 'just his job' but more than that, on a personal level he wants to keep himself entertained so his love of fishing doesn't get stale...quite refreshing to be honest.
He managed to combine rekindling his love of bikes with refreshing his love of fishing and he took us along, what's not to like, hats off to him 
and the only cost to you... a bit of your time and some electricity.

Naaa. I'm not having it.
I'm naturally sceptical, but especially when it comes to television amd media like this. It's always going to be spun to make a good story. They're trying to sell you something at the end of the day,
If he was there to catch fish, A car, so he could carry proper sized rods would have been able to get where I've seen so far. And anywhere else could be accessed by boat, like he does in his other videos.
Don't get me wrong it's great viewing, but it's clearly playing to the cameras and trying to create a video, rather than trying to have an adventure.
Its like, we know bear Grylls didn't really sleep in a camel all night, and survive only on his own pee and snake eyeballs, but we still enjoy watching it. It's entertainment.

From what I saw some of the spots were totally inaccessible by car and he would likely have had to carry/push his gear for miles in order to get to the spots and do a hell of a lot of walking just to check out if there is access to the water, which a lot of the time there wasn't.

Hey I'm not putting him down for it or slating him he can do what he likes each to their own and all that, listening to the podcast with Hassan it sounded like there were a few at HQ that were not happy with his last big pushing the boundaries video with the Jet-ski idea (still a great video in my book even if the jet skis were a failure), I think this one was why he probably choose a solo adventure.
I noticed one little edit failure in from episode one finishing and early in episode two, not so much a journey along its path to the end but a bit of returning to the same spot on the other bank after a few days with not a lot to show but I get it hes got to produce a film.
I take my hat off to his ambition and enthusiasm but I do like a bit of continuity when its all put together.

Fair play to him, I'd rather look to be making angling easier as I get older and the longer I've been doing it but whatever floats his boat I guess, he's like one of those sex addicts that's pushed it as far as he can go and looking for the next big kink to get him off, he's reached the upper level now and pushing the boundries travelling to Tokyo for some Jap shatting whilst I'm still looking at local Thai massage parlors with a happy ending.

I think some of the comments a bit laughable in this thread
FFS !!! the guy is following a frigging river some parts have a good road and access and he try`s a couple of days in them
while other sections difficult or impossible to reach with a car
so this is where his bike comes into play he is trying to find and try these spots
but he aint gonna drive past a good looking spot thats got good access is he ? the main goal is to catch some fish isnt it ?
all in all he shows everything the good and bad and his video`s are a breath of fresh air
a very likable chap and a bloody good angler too

I actually find him more watchable than his Mrs tbh despite her assets, her accent grates on me. Another decent film/two films, and I like the way he's always fishing off piste to an extent.

I have just done 9 nights on a big barrage and longed for the sound of my Nash alarms!

Also, the sound of those nash alarms. My god, how awful. I had no idea they were like that, sounds like some kind of Japanese arcade machine.
Good to know its not just me thinking that!

Watched the first one last night.
Looks like a mega adventure, certainly not one I would want to do alone. It's not a complaint....but I feel its been edited slightly to make it look like he's exploring untouched virgin land that has never seen a human. But it all looks well trodden and well fished. In fact, I've not seen any reason yet why he wouldn't have used a car. But that's media, they have to spin a story to make it a bit more exciting.

Watched them last night, fishing, motorbikes, bit of rough camping what’s not to like for me. Looked like hard work that with an overloaded bike, but that is what you call an adventure if you like that sort of thing

Sorry but its got to be said
you are some sort of tool mate ?
telling people there is a right way or wrong way to hold a rod ?? get a life grow up

In reply to Post #14
I guess if he finds it comfortable for him then why wouldn't he keep doing it that way, whos to judge how any of us hold our rod? oh er Mrs!  At the end of the day it isn't affecting his catch rate

In reply to Post #13
It isn’t isolated to this film, He is regularly seen holding the rod below the reel seat.

In reply to Post #12
Decent enough viewing but will someone teach him how to hold a fishing rod.
Its likely that he isn't holding it "properly" because those rods are only 6ft and likely have a VERY different action to a standard 12ft rod, can you imagine trying to play a 60lb carp on a 6ft rod and not holding it differently to a normal rod?

I thought it was very good,
Samir comes across very well, totally natural and very refreshingly uses very few **** words, no “buzzin” or “zones” just down to earth says it as it is

I absolutely love him and Clare, they are so down to earth, entertaining and clearly have such a great relationship. I always smile all the way through any of their stuff!... and this latest adventure of Samir took so much planning and effort its a big achievement. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this one.

I see what you mean but it was a welcome change from the normal videos on you tube and fair play to him for picking up crap left by other idiots,I also like the Jacob worth(I think that’s his last name) the lad who does the urban carping them are worth watching as well
|
|
|

While I enjoyed it and get his reasons for doing it, some of it did make me wonder. Part of the freedom of the bike was to get to places other anglers weren't but near every place he went was a obviously well used swim.
I'm glad he took us along though, maybe not the picking up of litter bit though :-x
