Our van life in Portugal adventures continue and you join us in Nazare on the west coast. Todays van life travel vlog is a little different as we unfortunately make a stupid mistake and delete all of our content… A travel vloggers nightmare! After 4 years of creating videos, this is the first time we’ve done this and we worked so hard filming and editing after a week of doing lots of cool things ready to share with everyone…. But the show must go on and we manage to salvage a few clips and show everyone that life isn’t always great when working and living in a van as YouTubers…. We share some clips from a great van hangout in Peniche before heading to the Medieval market in Obidos, both amazing places to visit in a campervan whilst travelling Portugal.

Really enjoyed the video shame you lost the footage,the drone footage looked stunning thanks for sharing take care xx
I used to subscribe to maybe a dozen travel/van life channels but yours is the only one I continue to follow BECAUSE you keep it real. I much prefer your refreshing honest and grounded approach to your adventures. I love your pups, van, humor, vegie recipes, beautiful photos and videos and, of course, the realistic lifestyle that feels like something we can all relate to. NO NEED to apologize for anything. <3
I assume you have googled how to retrieve deleted folders or files ?
I am getting more of these telegram msges – just to let you know – I am not techy!! but they come up via the yooootooob
Love your video's, I am sorry to hear you lost some footage although it's forever etched in you hearts and souls this journey is still fun to be apart of, thank you for all the fun and adventures. Super adorable. Sending much love and peace from BC Canada.
Hi guys just watching this vlog. Another bit of freeware that might help is 'Undelete' don't know how it compares to what you are using but it's helped me several times over the years. Anyway thanks for the vlogs, please don't stop.
Woz n Loz x
Still a good vid guys 👍👍
Hi guys I think if you go to right places there might be somewhere you can get your deleted stuff back im sure there something you can do lv you guys hope safe and well but gutted if its all gone .lv from the u.k
No worries, this happens, just finished watching, some great places. We've just made some pancakes having seen yours! Just tucking in and now watching Those happy Days.
No worries!
Frustrating. Always back up your content on an SSD exturnal hardrive and have iCloud. Have a strong drink and make sure you have several backup systems in place from now on.
Sorry about the film footage loss but accidents happen. Your channel is still great!
How frustrating loosing your footage. I lost my old fb account last week to Hackers, 10 years of family pics/vids all gone. The footage you got back tho is tunning. X
When I read 'lot' , I thought that you had found land and lost the bid or something… 😅
Have you emptied the bin yet?
Many times, it will be out of sight, but not completely gone.
I had trouble with storage on the phone, and by searching around, there was actually a file where all my deleted stuff where laying around, waiting to be thrown out for good.
Same on the computer, you throw it in the "bin" but then you have to empty the bin, for it to actually be deleted.
So I would go for a little deep dive in the files, you might actually be able to find it there. 😉
really sorry for you guys. I know exactly the feeling of looking for files that are just not there anymore… but don't worry too much! s@#t happens 😉
Morning….we really want to do this….but if you don't mind me asking..how do you finance travels…it must cost a lot…I think it looks amazing..is it purely vllog/blog…sorry you had a bad time…your dogs are awesome🌻🌻🌻🌻
The medieval show looked superb! Don't be hard on yourselves, your vlogs are always Brill. Xx
I love your videos and your positive attitude’s. Please keep it up!!
It may matter to you guys a lot that you lost your footage, but it’s not all about the lovely and funny footage you post for us every week to watch, it’s about you 4 all staying fit and healthy and letting us share your world ( life) honest there is only one each of you all and there is more than one bit of footage to see from now on, hope you understand what I am meaning to say , and basically that is there will always be more than one piece of footage but there will only every be one each of you guys, you make our Thursday a day to look forward to so please don’t think you have let us down because you never will ,nick I am sure some one out there in internet tech land who would know a way to help you get footage back soon I hope they contact you, and Sara you give your hat you shrunk to a local baby as I am sure it would fit them , ha ha,everyone has a bad and off day and yours has been now so you will have months of stress free from now. Take care all and keep smiling and posting because you make us smile on a Thursday ,love to you all, and look forward to next week all the best from Jim and Deb
This is actually a very important video. You stated the importance of not walking, shaving or using heavy equipment before having your morning coffee. The dangers of coffeelessness can not be over stated.
Awww you guys are champs! just sooo thankful that you are all safe and well that’s the main thing, we are mostly an understanding bunch out here viewing the vlogs and snap shots of your van life, you guys unselfishly share with us the real deal and you haven’t given up, you continued to put this together even though it wasn’t your original plan, this is a classic example of why you guys in particular have such a large following, your authenticity is your biggest pulling power! (along side the odd fab location thrown in 😂) Love ya!💕
Still love you despite the lost footage. 💚🍀💚🍀💚😺😺
Was the file deleted in Windows 10? I assume you could restore from previous versions, have you tried that? Nothing is ever completely deleted think of how the police are able to retrieve images that have been deleted. It will still be on your computer but hidden. Are you using windows back up to back up your files? You should be able to restore the file from a backup. So to restore from backup:
*Open backup and restore by clicking START>CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM & MAINTENANCE and then click BACKUP & RESTORE.
* Select RESTORE MY FILES then follow the steps in the wizzard.
If restoring from previous versions:
* Click START and then COMPUTER
* Navigate to the folder that used to contain the files, right click and select previous versions. You can retore from a drive too fof example C:, right click the drive and then select RESTORE PREVIOYS VERSIONS
You should then see previous versions of the file or folder. Hope you find it all but also remember that video's may have backed up to a different folder independent to the file it was initially stored in. Hope you find it all😊
I nearly choked on my lunch when I heard shaving in the bathroom area. I thought at first it was a euphemism!
Still a great video.
If I may offer a bit of wisdom….I have lost at least half a dozen hard drives, only one of them included ALL of my data. It wasn't a matter of accidentally deleting the data, the drives actually failed. The latest one was just a few weeks ago. So, let me offer a bit of advice…Always, always, always copy your data to an external hard drive. Every single time I do something with a file, I back it up to my external hard drive. I will tell you that this last time, since all of my data was backed up to an external drive, I just had to install the software and copy from my external drive. I have seen several YouTube creators who lost files because they relied only on SD cards or a computer to have all of the data. Speaking from many, many years of experience, don't do that. Always make a copy of the files you don't want to lose.
By the way Sarah, the berry pancake looked AMAZING! It made me want to stop the video and go make one.
Dont Be devastated About Losing Your Footage No Matter What Is In your Vlogs I Love To See Them They Or So Good And Full Of Info Its Good Just To See What You Two And The Two Dogs Get Up to Day By Day You Or So Down To Earth And Full Of Life Well By For Now Take Care And Be Safe XX
