Here is my first episode of my packrafting trip that I recently did in the Scottish Highlands, this was my first proper trip with this great piece of kit! I had such a amazing, chilled week exploring a little bit more of this beautiful landscape, this time by foot and raft.

I can’t stop watching what you do it’s brilliant. Your family must be very proud of you living the life you do. Your Mum and Dad have brought you up to love nature and the Great Outdoors. You can’t beat it. All the very best. Thank you 😊
Becky, I cannot tell you how impressed I am. You are one remarkable young woman!! I'm 73, and I've spent a LOT of time outdoors over the last 60 years.
Folks, those of you who have not spent any time camping in the conditions Becky endured will never understand, or appreciate, the "TRUE GRIT" this young woman has.
Becky is one TOUGH gal and an inspiration to not just other young women, but to ANYone who has ever set foot in the Great Outdoors. 👍👍✌✌💖🌹🌹😎😎
I don't know ANYONE who could SMILE that wonderful "quick smile" of Becky's while paddling a pack raft in the pouring rain, wind, and getting eaten alive by midges.
I've been to NW Scotland's highlands and to Alaska when I was a kid. Becky, you are a gal that was born for an Alaskan adventure.
I am looking forward to your future outdoor adventures. Well done Becky!!👍👍🌹👌✌✌
Aw thank you so so much for this lovely comment Pete, it really means a lot ❤️ made my day! Also thank you for transferring some money via PayPal that’s so kind :) I appreciate that you think that I would suit Alaska - I hope to one day see it! Take care x
Wonderful series. Being able to get out on the water adds another dimension to the outdoor/hiking experience, including the spiritual one. You were obviously moved by your experience and it is inspiring. Such a shame about the human waste. Some people just don't give a damn. Hard to imagine why someone can't be bothered to dig a small hole and bury it, and carrying food in but not carrying the packaging out, only a fraction of the weight. Thanks, keep up the good work!
Loved tuning in to your videos, was also good to catch up on a upto date video, I've been looking at a lot of your videos trying to catch up, you show off how beautiful Scotland is, makes me proud to be SCOTTISH 🏴👍
Thank you so much Becky for this series. I’ve loved watching every minute of them. Scotland Is my favourite place in the world....its my spiritual home and where my Dad came from. I can’t get there at the moment so your series has made me very happy and I’m so glad you have had a great adventure on this trip.
An amazing trip Becky. Hopefully your next Scottish adventure will be when midge season is over, they are torture. Although you are leaving Scotland behind you, now a part of it is in you and it will never let you go. I am sure you will understand where that fierce Scottish spirit is born out of this harsh and unforgiving landscape and likewise where that kind hospitality arrives, to come in out of the rain and wind and share warmth, food and comfort with kin. Haste ye back. 😀
Well said! The 3 weeks I spent in NW Scotland back in 1997 were simply spectacular. And the people of Scotland are just the BEST.
Aw thank you for your lovely comment! Means so much ❤️
I now live in Tucson AZ. However was born and raised in the Allegany region of the Appalachian Mts. Of the US. I was raised in the woods and taught wilderness survival, bushcraft, and taught to love and respect nature. Becky I have watched many of your bush craft and adventure videos. You are a natural and truly will be remembered as one of the best in this subculture. I give props to you and who influenced and taught you. Proper job. And thank you.
Becky we have a great wilderness adventure group here in AZ. If you ever wish to experiance the wonders and beauty of the Sonaran Desert wilds and learn desert bush craft. You are forever welcome. We have it all. High mountain ranges with winter snow, abundance of diverse landscape teaming with wildlife. We have Elk, Prong Horn (Antelope) white tail Deer, Mule Deer, Ring Tails, Jack Rabbits, Desert Cotton Tail, Coyote, Jahvelina (Pecary), Montain Lions, Bobcats, And now sightings of Jaguars, Black Bears, many reptiles, birds, etc.... etc.... Oh, and Mexican Gray Wolves are making a comeback I'm told.
I hope you paddled back and got your camera…😉
Loved the series Becky. Reminded me of the time I walked from Bridge of Orchy to Ardmaddy where I called. The midges were the worst ever. Then walked up the other side of the loch to the head where I got picked up. A lovely remote spot.
The 'Got my waterproofs on just in time, WOO' bit is my absolute fave. The epitome of loving mother nature from all sides
Hahaa aw thanks Jess x
Gonna miss this little uplifting series. What an adventure from our favourite adventurer. Thanks for bringing us along Becky.
Hi Becks...great vlog as usual..so lucky you are to be spending time in Scotland...just a quick point to help you with your weather and rafting with the rain usually means a drop in air temp and a change in air pressure and will affecting your raft pressure..so may not mean you have a slow leak in the raft...good luck with the rest of your adventures you are making me homesick.....
Loved this series, I really liked what you said about appreciating things around you in everyday life, people spend life trying to better themselves earn more money, get on in life, which is the way I have always been, in the last few months I have decided to live my best life and experience things like never before and this series has inspired me to actually do it thank you so much
Amazing!! Well bloody done, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this from end to end ☺️. I recognise the Loch too but I won’t name it as I didn’t hear you name it 😉. The 2 geezers at the end were comedy gold 😂. Keep up the good work 👍 from Captain Landslide 😉👍
The scenic views are fantastic. Bear would be impressed by your survival skills 🌧️☀️👍
The beauty of a dry suit is that one stays dry. I spent three days last year during my two months on the Clyde Fjord wearing and sleeping in my suit because it poured from the heavens, streams and rivers in spate. It was all I could do to cook using my folding umbrella. Everything stayed in my kayak hatches.
Awesome video Becky, I don't think there is anything better than being out like you have been, with no pressure as to time or other expectations other than your own. As to Alaska, I actually preferred the Yukon, but thats just me. Hopefully we will be able to see you enjoying other lands as you broaden your experiences. Wishing you a great fall and winter season, may all your dreams come true.
Amazing place to explore really exited to see, nice job and thanks a lot becky
What a great series, becky you should be so proud, can't wait for next adventure
Hi Becky love ❤️ the scenery you are the Best in kayaking 😊
I travelled to Scotland a month ago with the family from the south coast....its a really beautiful place,very overwhelming with the scenery. Will definitely be going back I want to climb ben nevis :)
A tear was shed with you, you could see what that moment meant too you.
Stunning series! Your filming, narration and editing has moved forward so far over the years.
Keep them coming hun.
So beautiful! The land as well. Thank you for sharing this huge experience!
“What sets a canoeing expedition apart is that it purifies you more rapidly and inescapably than any other travel. Travel a thousand miles by train and you are a brute; pedal five hundred miles on a bicycle and you remain basically a bourgeois; paddle a hundred in a canoe and you are already a child of nature.”
-- Pierre Trudeau
Incredible, thank you , you inspire me so much 😊
Hi Becky here is a tip when it rain at dusk just getting dark you have bate with flashlight you can see the worms come up And there’s fishing bate Now tip 2 bate don’t be scared ok If you turn rock slowly you will get a crayfish don’t grab the front get it by the tail the way I hook it up from the front and back it will look in water a life bass Northern Pike and pike walleye large mouth bass small bass it’s giving them like steak and eggs 😊❤
Thank you Becky, for sharing your adventure with us. Have a great day.
Miss Becky you did it again, another great video!!! I do believe your part duck 🤣🤣🥰..thanks for sharing this excellent trip. I always look forward to seeing you. ❤🌹 from Texas.
Becky , I love this video it's beautiful and peaceful and quiet except for the Stag. You were at ease in the wilderness. You have come a long way Baby Girl and it is a absolute pleasure to join you on your adventure. PS I couldn't understand the Scots!
Beautiful area. Thank you for sharing. You are an amazing young lady. Stay well and be safe.
Yet another great video Becky...well done, and great scenery!
Hi Becky. This was a fantastic and enjoyable series. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure.
Thank you Andy!
Hi Becks. Brilliant series, enjoyed it as much as your West Highland Way series. Any trip done solo has it's highs & lows; it's what makes us who we are. Get some cream on them bites ! xx
I love camping in the rain. Keeps all the weekenders away. Being alone really helps you to slow down and reflect on things
Another amazing video Becky ! 😁🤙🏽❤️
Great fun watching this series. Well done!
wow, i need to get myself one of those rafts. Great video! makes me wanna get away again
Wonderful, beautiful trip! Thanks for bringing us along on such a lovely trip.
Great to meet you today Becky walking onto Sandwood Bay! Hope you enjoy this special place as much as we do! Enjoy your last day! Yvonne & Fritz xx
Thank you Yvonne abs Fritz! Lovely meeting you both too xx
Greetings Becky, Every episode was stunningly beautiful. Being alone in the great outdoors gives one time to think about life in general. You have done very well and are learning new things. So crack on and enjoy life to its fullest. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day.
Thanks so much Moses, much appreciated:)))
I have enjoyed each and every episode of your solo trip. You are showing me a part of the world I only wish to visit one day. Thanks for the views!
What a spot, and quite the adventure for sure! Appreciate ya giving us the tour!
Thanks, Becky. I really enjoyed this series. 👍🙂🚣♂️
That was brilliant Becky,the whole adventure was great to watch.Your a real trooper even continued filming in that rain storm.Can see how much this means to you,and how much you enjoy it.Hopefully you can make it back up to Scotland soon for some more adventures.Take care and very best wishes.Regards Ian.
It is always a pleasure to watch your films, keep up the great adventures
You should go for a wander into the likes of Knoydart; the Fisherfield Forest; Glen Affric; Torridon; the Cairngorms... All these and quite a few others are highly recommended areas for you to explore and experience the differing forms of landscape and style of mountains. They all have their unique personalities dependent on where you go. And of course presenting yourself as a meal to the various tribes of midges, clegs and ticks.
There are many really interesting places to go and spend a whole lot of time on in Scotland, on top of it all is the rich history of the various areas.
Nice! Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video . Brilliant scenery and find them very interesting .reminds me what i used to do years ago . Bet you really enjoyed yourself getting away from the rat race .
Fantastic x
Watching these videos of you in Scotland are just making me wish that I lived there. Absolutely beautiful scenery Becky. Cheers lass love you. 😘🫂
Awesome again ! To cope with a week in the West Highlands in the summer is no mean feat between rain and midges but you thrive, you should check out fly fishing great for back packing trips.
Real outdoor videos. Thank you BECKYYYYYYY : )
Great video thanks. ✌️👊
Fantastic video… I know how you feel it’s hard to leave a place that’s so beautiful !! I loved this adventure as well…take care and safe safe !!
If you go to Alaska you have to give yourself enough time . It is a giant place. Very wild. Yes watch out for the bears and moose. and you think Scotland's got biting insects you should go to Alaska Take care
Thanks for the lovely video Becky! That was a great series. You have a beautiful boat! I wish you many years of awesome adventures in it.
Thank you so much Todd ☺️
You see Becks, another advantage of fly fishing is that the bait doesn't fight back! Superb series, you get better and better, thanks!
Lived in Alaska a few years... You will LOVE it 👍❤🇺🇸🗻
Yeah perfect day in the mountains .. awesome stuff Becks. Funny how you get on with the stuff we call bad weather and midges south of the border , it all just melds into days you wouldnt swap for anything , get out the (skin so soft ) i found a spot and stayed for months . It was just - right .. you might get that , most people dont ..keep up the good stuff Becks always a pleasure . Youl always get good water around the edge of sea loch's after rain , look for natural run offs
Great video Becky. My advice is just keep on going girl.you’ll never run out of adventures and places to go.x😀
I enjoyed the whole series. Onward and upward ;-)
You’ve become one of my favourite vlogger- we literally have the same equipment! From the packraft (except mine is forest green) paddle, backpack and almost the same pfd! Look forward to every new episode and thoroughly enjoy each one- thank you Becky for sharing your awesome adventures! Love from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 😘👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍
Aw thank you James! Love that we’re marching haha :) Ay love to see Canada
@@GirlOutdoors If you ever make your way to Vancouver, B.C. my family and I would love to show you around! ;-)
Beautiful work on the editing. I enjoyed the entire series. Thanks for sharing.
Hey becky . Hope your well . Thankyou for including me into your video . It was a great day at glencoe and it was great meeting you having a chat and sharing a beers together and also teaching you how to fish . P.s my mate Bert who ran into the water to catch his bag of beers is still drying out hahaha x thanks for the memories
Aw hey Colin! Glad you found the video :) was great meeting you both - had a right laugh! Thanks man and take care x
Brilliant, great adventure and inspirational look forward to seeing more thanks
I love sharing in your adventures, Becky!!! Love from the 🇺🇸
Lovely trip Becky. Such a beautiful area you showed us. I loved seeing the mist rolling in, so moody. Just your luck that you found the freshwater river towards the end! 😂 At least you'll know for next time. Thanks for a lovely series Becky.
I really enjoyed this series, you are such an inspiration for anyone thinking of trying this. Can't wait for your next adventure.
Aw thank you 😊
Well done Becky you knew, it was at 21:00 min it was a sachcwat you were brave and clever be careful of them though they can be dangerous! I've seen a few of them and lots of different dinosaurs I've lost count! Again well done. Be careful out there because they have eaten people!
Loved watching this. I did something similar on Loch Awe a few years ago. Scotland is a magical place. Might have to get myself that midge hoodie - looks mint.
Thank you so much! Yes it’s great :)
Enjoyed watching this series so much!... Really looking forward to the next series you have upcoming!
Hope to see that lovely smile on the next one .keep it up girl
This was a beautiful series. Thank you Ms Becky :)
Beautiful series. Thanks for sharing your experiences. You've inspired me to do the West Highland Way, and i'm headed off next week! So excited!!
Hi Becky and Everyone, Having used more traditional canoes for journeys in Scotland (The Tay, The Great Glen and others), my usual canoeing style is using a single-blade paddle and kneeling (which I find more comfortable), rather than sitting. I'm inspired by your travels to look at getting a packraft for use on future journeys, and I wonder if you could advise how viable it would be to kneel and use a single-blade paddle in a packraft, and particularly with the Alpacka Caribou? Many thanks for any views or advice. And a big "thank you" to you Becky, for your videos and journeys - One Life, Live it, Girl!
few things, your voice is so calming mixed with the sounds of the things around you.
i dig how you just throw your hair up to get it out the way, shows youre real
gorgeous scenery
great series this was
The sceneries are stunning! Lots of love
Not seeing or talking to anyone all day sounds like bliss to me.
I enjoyed this series very much! Keep making amazing videos!!
Brilliant series, it’s a real pity it wasn’t longer. Already looking forward to the next adventure 👌
Really enjoyed your video Becky 💖
Great series Becky, well done
Loved everything about this series! Big thank you Becky, your content is so wholesome, I became a big fan over the last year. I'm excited to get my two Girl Outdoors hoodies, should be on the way right now. Sending hugs from New Zealand! ♡
Aww thank you so much!
Just what I need after a longs days graft. Some great evening entertainment. Cheers, Becky. 👍
Great Video as always. I am enjoying this series sharing your adventure and gaining knowledge and ideas from you for my own. ⛺🍖🛶 🔥
Well done Becks, loved every video.
Brave going on that Loch in that weather.
TC :-)
Your heart is in the highlands Becky....I can see the love in your eyes.Thanks for another wonderful video...the best on youtube.Btw have you not got a midge net...I'm sure you had one before. I think you will eventually move up here one day and by a highland cottage....big hugs from Glasgow....btw I don't know those two numpties haha. :-) Music was amazing!!
It’s been a great adventure. I look forward to the bothy vids now.
It's somethin gettin way out in the wild on your own. I take at least a couple weeks a year off in the bush on my own 😎👍🏻
Great series. And Collin needs subtitles.😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those Scottish midges are something else aren't they 😂😂 another great video Becky 👍
Brilliant series Becky. You have come such a long way in such a short time 😊
Aw thanks!
I've been to the lake district loads but now I've gotta get up to Scotland! Thanks for the amazing video. :)
Great vids, really enjoyed this series. Keep it up, great channel you've got here.
Hi Becky if you turn rocks you can do it on a dry day as well 😊
Quality Becky,respect to what you are doing
Thank you!!
Hi becky love hope you having a great time some of the places are beautiful defo gonna take a trip there in future hope to hear how you doing take care lv from dave sheffield.
Absolutely lovely scenery, and love the remoteness of that place. I can see why you didn't want to leave. Hope you get to take your trip to Alaska some day. Just keep in mind that there is a lot more, bigger and sometimes aggressive wildlife to deal with there. So some type of protection is advisable. But this and all the videos you have done on this trip were spectacular. Can't wait for the next one. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you Jay! Yes gotta be prepared for that backcountry
You are truly the BEST. 🥰💯
Really loved watching this series this morning. Can't wait to get over there myself. I even started my own channel, after being inspired by you and others. I have 200 subscribers hahaha! Can't wait to see your cape Wrath trip, something I hope to do too next year. Thanks Becky, you're a star!
Aw thank you! Yes the cape wrath trail is amazing, I’m sure you’ll love it! All the best x
@@GirlOutdoors Thanks! I need to get better at map reading I think before I go. Can't wait to watch your video! Take care 😁
I laughed so much, wonderful Vid!
Very inspiring. Thanks!
