Cheers Ross its one of the best little bothies i have stayed at, i could sit at that window for days looking out at all the changing weather. A really interesting place and fantastic views. Thanks again for the comments. Steve 👍
Our remote bothies have to be protected mostly and some bothies do need protection, care less bothy visitors leaving trash, graffiti, reckless damage, etc spoil it for other more serious hikers but safety n respect for the blessing of remote bothies matters wherever you go. Could save lives. Great video. 🏴👣💙🙏
Hello Elizabeth thanks for reaching out, I do agree and is a shame people leave a mess its not difficult to take it away so its down to education and behaviour. There are a few private bothies they you need to book or not let on where they are. Damage and rubbish stands out more than the scenery which is such a shame but fingers crossed that can and will change. Thanks again for the comment Steve
Protection of our Highland Bothy Shelters isn't a bad thing. Bothies are a Blessing and could save lives. Any serious hiker would understand the need for geographic privacy. 👣💙🏴
That the original and historical use for them and long may that continue. I very serious weather its a welcome sight and been in them shoes a couple of times so they are a vital place of shelter and warmth. Steve
Thanks for liking the videos, scroll through them and make use of the places i have been and maybe you might get to one or two of them in time when you feel ready. Its not a race and there is no rush, take your time and do it for you and what you need to get peace in wild camping or a bothy for that matter. Steve 👍
Nice one thank you for stopping by. i haven't done a podcast for a while. it just take a bit of time to do and sort but i will get back to it. You can kind of relate the podcast to the videos. Steve 👍
Hi Steve, wow, what a magical place, it certainly was a wild one. That little Bothy must have felt like it was going to take off. 🤣 I’ve seen that Bothy on a couple of videos, it is just amazing. I’m sure you had a great time with your brother catching up on things, and what a great place to do it. Thank you as always for sharing mate, all the very best Dave 😀🥾⛰🏕️🏴🏴
Thanks Dave yeah a lovely place and great to do less talking haha. Good catch up with my brother and just good to get away and explore yet another hidden place. Steve 👍
Thanks Douglas it was such a nice one to film and for a change do less talking and as i said let the footage do the work. Maybe inspired me to do further ones like that. Steve 👍
Oh thanks for the reply buddy I look forward to seeing your new video. I have been watching some bothy videos from other channels and watched some about the Grwyne Fawr bothy. I guess it's the U.K.'s smallest bothy. It looks really cool though and has a wood burning stove. The scenery is really nice around it. It has a small upstairs room. One guy said you might be able to fit 7 in it if you know each other well that was funny. I'm doing fine I'm a pretty tuff guy who has seen a lot in my life. You might have heard of this bothy.
Sweet! Love the music and that low light drone video, awesome! Good to see you both out together, does Paul have a channel? I've almost been there for a rece but ran out of time, one day.
Hello Davie yeah all the music id from Epidemic Sound which is the place i go to. A great outing adventure, good to explore that coast line and found a few caves to which were awesome. Paul doesn't have a channel, her does have instagram you can find him through mine if you haven't already. Get yourself back up to that spot you would love that place and not a bad walk either to it.
Hi stev wish l cud go there l up in killin now and loving it be safe my frend letitia from londen but l am a Scottish lady 😅😅😅 want to move back ho.e and still relly wantto try tbe bothes to
Enjoy your time up here Letitia the weather is improving. Killin is a beautiful area, i have been a few times before. Get out and explore when you can. Steve 👍
Hey great videos buddy. I'm a guy from California and watched your videos yesterday almost all of them. I saw the one where you were talking about mental health. I love camping but have also struggled with the same stuff you have like going out again. The prices of things have become way out of hand I admit. I mean in the U.S. is probably even worse. We also have a lot of violence problems here. Many guns are getting in the wrong hands and we have a lot of gang problems also. I'm turning 40 in August which is going to be a shock. The time has gone by quickly. Many people are scared to go to certain places here like big crowds or other places because some idiot might cause a mass shooting or something. I am not scared buddy you can't live life in fear like that.
Thanks for the very eye opening and reality comment my friend. Its extremely difficult for many people and sad to hear about all the violence and gun crime its a very sticky one regarding the laws over there. Mental health is a top priority for all and needs tackled, getting out for starters will do the world of good to get away from the house and set foot in different surrounding, a big deal for those who struggle but the weight that leaves you is huge and the benefits that you get are as equal. I have to say we are lucky here in Scotland and the UK, we do have a lot more freedom to get out and don't have the same issues for violence and gun crime and wouldn't know how i would cope with that. I hope you find some peace and quiet in the countryside areas. Things will improve and if you make a plan and small goals and they work for you then thats all that matters. Thank you for watching the videos, that means a lot and hope you get something from them and put them to use over there. All the best Steve 👍
Nothing special its just good old Duck tape, the metal under the original rubber is pretty thin so duck tape gave it that little body of grip. It could still melt i guess but i always keep an eye on it now lol Steve 👍
I would agree but since its not run or maintained by the Mountain Bothies Association its not seen as a priority. Its more a private bothy, so would be up to that owner to sort that. Cheers for the comment Steve 👍
Love the videos, but have to say I do find it irritating when you tubers share bids, and try to keep the location a secret. What's the big deal, it's not just your goodself BTW. It's very common amongst youtubers. Just a tad selfish in my view. But I do like the vids.
The owners of this particular bothy have requested that people don’t publicly disclose the name or location as it is not owned or mentioned by the MBA.
Thanks for the comment, yeah it can be annoying in cases, the reason i didn't say where it was because i have seen others there and they didn't disclose where it was so kept that as a Curtis thing. I do understand where you are coming from so no offence taken. There are so many private bothies about, some you have to ask the owner for the key some you have to book in advance and others are just locked. They types of owners like to keep things low key. Cheers Steve 👍

what was the tape you used on your pot handles?
Nothing special its just good old Duck tape, the metal under the original rubber is pretty thin so duck tape gave it that little body of grip. It could still melt i guess but i always keep an eye on it now lol
Steve 👍
that fire looks less than safe....
I would agree but since its not run or maintained by the Mountain Bothies Association its not seen as a priority. Its more a private bothy, so would be up to that owner to sort that.
Cheers for the comment

Love the videos, but have to say I do find it irritating when you tubers share bids, and try to keep the location a secret. What's the big deal, it's not just your goodself BTW. It's very common amongst youtubers. Just a tad selfish in my view. But I do like the vids.
