Congratz on the first wild camp, try higher up next. i dont know why but i always sleep better higher up. Unfortunately the down side to improve your sleep and experience and weight of bag is more expensive gear. Light weight but good quality gear will make the journey better. Just acquire over time or buy second hand. Try the outdoor shops in the local areas. so much competition that there is always a huge sale on somewhere haha! Smashed it though mate and the cooking was top notch! Keep it up, the views get even better.

Wild camping is just normal pretty much just camping to me.

If anyone else is tempted to buy a little pump or just blow it up - your breath has water vapour in it. It can easily lead to mould on the inside of your sleeping pad

Your lovely wish you was my girlfriend. I am female just lovely chilled video x

Your lovely. And nice relaxed channel..be watching again. Be my girlfriend haha x

Thanks for another great video fantastic views as always.. I think I would prefer the ride down it looked much more fun than the slog up ❤❤❤

I did the Glen Finglas loop a couple of weeks ago and can confirm it's a tough climb up to the top. Well done 👍

Nice video but you should use gloves, if you fall off you put your hands out and they take a lot of damage on the gravel or my case road.

At 63 I wild camped last weekend off the back of a motorbike, near Glenshee. At 1200ft up, it was a cold night, and I was lucky to catch an infrequent breeze to take the midges away for a few seconds relief. But I kept my helmet on! I use Autan bug spray, and it stop s them biting. They still drive me insane though. One wee tip; midges love black clothing. Wear white and leave a black bag or something a few yards away, and see the difference! Oh, and I rely on chocolate, mixed fruit and nuts, and am confident in drinking water from small burns, and rivers and even the lochs, as long as there’s not a town upstream. Go for a wild swim instead of a shower!?

You really, really don't have to worry about needing to filter water - as long as the water is from a burn or loch away from arable farms it will be fine. So many folks get caught up in the fearbased thinking of needing to filter water in case they get a disease or illness... I & all wild campers/hikers I know always drink straight from the burns or waterfalls. Never been ill after 30yrs+ doing the same. Commercial companies sell all kinds of filter gizmo's to make money out folks... Totally unnecessary imo, the only areas I would not drink 'wild au fresco' h2o would be lowland areas with fields of crops which have had chemicals sprayed onto them or fertilizers ploughed into the soils... Water is heavy - no need to carry it in when its all around you 👍

I keep it to the bearest minimal ..tent , sleeping bag , food and water , lighters , phone , ..and my rab puffer jacket which doubles as a pillow, and i think can survive for a bit , oh! And my bank card aswell ..never leave home without that .

Great video and what a great location 👍

Nice one pal great wee video the views were amazing, keep up the good work new sub here. Atb Wullie ✊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great video as always you were blessed with some amazing weather and views really enjoyable video thank you for posting

Its funny that you call a 700m hill a mountain 😁 Looking forward for my first time being in Scotland to do the WHW in September. Hope the bugs won't be too bad 🥲

It's lovely making decent coffee up a mountain, for a day hike like that your set-up is fine but for longer trips or wild camps you'll probably want to make it much lighter and more compact, and a cafetiere isn't very easy to clean if you want to make multiple brews. My go-to is an AeroPress as they're really light and there's a travel version with a cup too (I just use a standard one though), also clean up is very easy with the coffee pucks they produce meaning a quick rinse and they're ready to go again and again.

Just got back from my first ever solo hike / camp. Used by puffy coat as my warm layer and pillow abd padding for my bag straps because they made me want to cry ... also walked 20 miles in hours which was way too much for a first time so now crying with sore feet 😂😂 looking forward to watching how yours and future one's went

Looking forward to some pointing with walking poles! I feel cheated 🤣

Thank you Sophie that was a lovely hike, I really enjoyed it watching from my chair 🤣😂😆. But man they were Epic views up on top! Just stunning! Wow! 🤩 🙌💚

Mega chilled out viewing, Sophie. Your positivity and spirit are very uplifting. Thanks for sharing!

😁

Great drone use there with the DJI 3. I have one too, but any sign of wind and I'm bottling it!

I love your videos, always so cheery and adventurous 🎉❤ it makes me happy to see other people just like me doing the same things as me. Solo adventures are amazing!

Great hike/mountain well done ⛰️👏

Nice wee video and the views are lovely up there, it's a lovely location..... One pointer for you, Loch Katrine is Kat'rin not Ka'treen :) Oh, and at 14:18 the tiny wee loch that's to the south of Venachar is called Drunkie and, yup, it's pronounced as you'd expect.

Great video. That's a very elaborate set up for a summit cuppa. Makes me grateful that I'm a tea drinker. 😊

Looks like a great hike, quiet too was this a weekday?

how are things?. nice !

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Awesome video Sophie. Can't beat a mountain up a coffee!

Take a tarp and set it out over your door. Then you can heat water up and wash etc.

Hi. Well done you on your first solo. First night out sleeping in always a bit strange, I have found that getting your pitch setup and staying there for a second night much more relaxing, just sit about or explore for a day and learn to relax. Cheers from Jim, 70+ and still wild camper. Ps other comment re ear plugs😢, listen to nature!

I wild camped on the shore of loch lochy 3 weeks ago it was awesome

Great video and well done on your first wild camp 💪

Hard ass chick ❤️✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏕️

Spiders are unacceptable, i hope you ended them. I find jungle formula helps with midges and other flying horror stories.

Why would you say a london bus , to anyone in Scotland that has ever been on a double decker bus please at your own convenience reply to this obvious misconception that london is not the only place on the british isles that you can get a double decker bus , ffs

Nice video, have a cool adventure

Great content new sub and I also do lot of wild camping around Loch Lomond three lochs Callander etc can't beat it all the best on Your travels👍🏻

Im new to wild camping but my understanding the definition is when you camp somewhere other than camp grounds?

Im very jealous of being able to discover wild camping for the first time and starting on the journey! Those very first bits of kit you pick up and always have a soft spot for. In terms of sleep, ear plugs and eye masks are great. You identified some better spots to camp, Id avoid dirt or mud and go for grass or moss whenever possible. Obviously you want as flat as possible, but can put your empty bag under one end of your mat if there's a slight slope. Better sleeping bags and mats can be expensive the more comfort you want, but I would prioritize the mat if you're spring/summer camping and decided to get into it more seriously. In terms of bag weight, its just a case of whittling things down. Look at what you took home with you food and drink wise, unused clothes, without sacrificing warmth or waterproof layers. You could try cutting out next time. Generally making things smaller and lighter if you can do it cheaply. Like you mentioned, regular toothbrush instead of electric, (or you can get specific camping ones that fold up too). Its always nice to cook proper food, but if the pack is still heavy maybe considering a dehydrated meal like 'summit to eat' After that its really down to lighter equipment again, which costs more money. Most people I know have used their basic gear for 2 or 3 years and then begun slowly upgrading kit one piece at a time. Ive been wild camping about 12 years now and I've almost completed my perfect 3.5season kit, (minus a Hilleberg) so there's really no need to rush out getting the best and lightest stuff. Hygiene, as a male, doesn't really bother me (Im playing n the woods!)... I take some roll on deodrant, wet wipes and hand sani, and have a dip in pool or lake if the opportunity arises...

Hello,,, Take your time no hurry. Plan for the future you shall see many beautiful places as you go. Weather sometimes become a factor when your out sometimes it pays to look on the both sides of the weather. Try not to take with you so much that it makes you uncomfortable when it is carried. I plan ahead when i go out wild cooking so i lay out what i have and only take what i need. Talk to you soon and you have fun in all your doing and the places you go to,,,,,, Regards Mick,,,,,,,, Chef-on-the-wild-side,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
