Meet the Sunderland YouTuber who camps in the strangest places imaginable and has 30k subscribers

What does a roundabout, a police station, a McDonald's drive-thru and a burnt-out car have in common? This Sunderland YouTuber has used them all as campsites.

Chris Young has developed a loyal following on the video site by combining his passions for camping in odd places and whiskey drinking. The 45-year-old originally set up his YouTube channel - Blot Outdoors - around three years ago as a way to look back on some of his hiking trips he shared with his mates.

But the channel soon started taking off when Chris began doing whiskey reviews, with viewers immediately taking to his no-nonsense sense of humour and unpretentious opinions. The channel gained even more followers when Chris began to pitch his tent in some of the most random places imaginable.
