Hello everyone,
In part 2 we head to Glen Affric and spend a couple of nights camped on Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin before bailing out on the last night as a storm was on the way. The loch revealed some crazy reflections as we paddled through and I try a flat earth ale 🍺
Thanks for watching!

Ben, I agree with what you where saying about the advantages of taking a small axe given the size of the hand saw for processing wood, I swear by my Gransfors Bruks outdoors axe, light weight and ideal for splitting wood and general camp tasks, great channel and look forward to this years videos
Thanks Darren 👍 The GB Outdoors axe is probably the perfect trekking axe, I'm really tempted to buy one as I think the extra length in the handle would make it more versatile than the hand hatchet. Not sure if I have room for another axe though! 😂
good combo axe and saw!
Clunes is where Charles Kennedy, the former Whisky loving SNP leader, is burried. Burrial site is on a hill a few hundred meters west of Clunes on the south side of the river. The Camerons on one side and the Kennedys on other side.
What I dident know this was a thing I wish our. Winter was a little milder and we could do this thanks for the great video guys!
👍
Mora knives are great and very affordable, just file the spine flat and it’ll make great sparks.
Hi Ben I am loving your vlog you and trish should visit loch Quick you would love it with your canoe
Those photos were amazing. Lord of the rings meets Game of thrones. Great video mate.
Wow! That mirroring gave really awesome patterns! Looket like warriors, gods, a bear gead and alot of cool thing. Magic! Beautiful video and trip my friend! Beer testing and gear ideas. Enjoyed this video very much.
Cheers Mattias, the reflections were very strange indeed. All the best 👍🍺
@@Adventure-Outdoors Are You planning any trips to Scandinavia again?
@@Braapncamp hopefully this year if all goes well, I’ll just see how this pandemic plays out over the next couple of months. It’s been over 2 years since our last trip so we’re really looking forward to returning 👍
Great vid. Classic face when you read the flat earth beer can!!
Atmosphere is great my friend
Your so lucky to have Trish my wife would not contemplate any think like that 👍👍🏴 happy new year to you both
Thanks Kevin, aye she's a good sport! All the best 👍
you guys look as tho you had an amazing time
Absolutely loved the video, Glen Affric is one of my favourite places on the planet.
Cheers mate 👍
Beautiful footage of the kaleidoscope effect of the reflections against the water ben 👏👏👌 could I ask ben , did you and tris get those jumpers from Sweden 🤔 And as you say why chop down an obvious live tree 😤 or stick a knife in just for a photo shot 🙄 A very enjoyable video ben & triss 🛶🔥🥂
Cheers Martin, I often find live trees hacked to bits for campfire wood, usually next to a fire pit full of unburned green wood. I have a collection of vintage wool jumpers, most of them I bought second hand for about £15. The one I was wearing was actually made in the USA 👍
Great wee vid, should get yourself down the westcoast of scotland, Argyll where I spent my youth before joining her majesties service, now local resident of sunny whitley bay..
Thanks Iain, ahh Whitley Bay, I used to go there when I was a kid in the summer holidays 👍
Great videos you two , Keep them up
Awesome video mate. What would you say is your favourite location in Scotland for camping ? Cheers
Thanks mate! Not sure where my favourite place is, probably Glen Affric but it's not that great for camping. The Cairngorms are a great place too, lots of opportunity to hike and wild camp up there 👍
This is the best thing i've seen on UA-cam so far. I love your wit (that flat earth thing was hilarious), and your appreciation for nature is like another person in your videos. Shame on the people that left that garbage at their site. That reflection stuff is what lifelong memories are made of, i had a similar amazing natural experience with the northern lights in Michigan's upper peninsula. Sheer luck to have been there and out in the open camping when it happened. No pics or video, it was before all the smart phone stuff, but i'll remember and appreciate it forever.
What's your take on that Winnerwell stove after a few uses, you expect that'll make it to your standard equipment pack when you canoe and overnight in the cold, or have you been unimpressed? How many times have you used it so far, does it seem like it holds up and will go the distance for you? Thanks for any feedback on it.
Thanks! Yes it was extraordinary to see those reflections, I probably won't see anything like it again.
Regarding the stove; it works really well. It is so light you barely know you're carrying it. The only down side I've found (apart from the price) is that it doesn't throw out the heat as well a steel stove would once you've got a good bed of coals. I found it needed to be loaded with wood regularly to keep the heat going. Obviously this is down to the stove being made of 1mm titanium, but it's a small price to pay for the convenience it offers. Hope that helps! 👍
Best chanel on You Tube. Real world wild camping. Love it.
Thanks mate 👍
Excellent as always. I often think the colours can be more impressive in winter, more varied anyway. Beautifully captured.
Thanks mate 👍
Can't beat the wee was got 1 myself
Great episode,love the canoe camping trips really inspiring cheers Ben.
Look forward to seeing more in the future.
Thanks mate! 👍
I read somewhere that the Flat Earth Society is growing in popularity and they now have members all around the globe! Great video as always ;)
😂 That made me laugh! Cheers mate 👍
Pemandangan alam yang sangat indah....danau yang membawa ketenangan..
Ini camping yang sangat menyenangkan... Pengen rasanya tinggal selamanya disana ..
Terima kasih teman 👍
Great video.
Glen affric is on my to do list for this year, canoe camping with my son and Boxer dog.
Ive paddled the Great Glen and many other Lochs around Scotland.
But ive been hoping to get up this area for a while now, my concern is where to leave the car as i wont have the luxury of going with someone else where we leave one veh at one end, and another further on.
If i get up there while winter is still on ill take my one tigris Smokey hut tipi tent and winnerwell stove for the trip.
All the best.
Geordie.
Hi Geordie, there's a few places to leave the car by the loch. I leave mine at the large lay by next to the dam, it's about 50 metres to the loch from there. There's also two official car parks along the loch. Last September we met a couple who'd parked where we had at the dam, they paddled down Loch Beinn a'Mheadhoin and then portaged into Loch Affric and then done the return journey back to the car; they left the car there for 7 days with no issues. Cheers mate 👍
Excellent! Those reflections on the water and the photos are well creepy, I can see faces! Almost like totem poles or some kind of sacrificial stuff. Looks amazing but with the stillness that would be freaking me out. Wouldn't want to be going to the loo in the night that's for sure! Thanks for the video, lucky with the weather!
Hi mate, I was freaked out big time by those reflections, after a few minutes I was trying not to look at them! 😂 Atb 👍
Awesome as always! Those water reflections looked amazing!
Thanks mate 👍
Thanks for taking us with you. Great video.
Thanks Richard, all the best 👍
anothe great adventure there you two, thanks for shareing
Cheers Nell 👍
Another great video... they get better and better. Being a fan of Scotland and its wildlife I really enjoy watching them during this winter period. Thanks !
Thanks mate, winter in Scotland is great, you don't have to worry about the midges! 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors never had any problems with them. Always went in April and/or October - November… almost no tourists and vacancies everywhere 👍👌👍
Amazing pics
Saw
Your episodes are always so well done, and thank you for sharing the awesome reflection photos.
I always look forward to your videos, Ben. As I think I said before, you should have millions of subscribers. Superb composition and editing, and very informative and watchable. I just wish my Mrs was amenable to camping and the outdoors!
Thanks Chris, all the best 👍
More great footage Ben! The reflections of the rock formations and trees and sky were other worldly, beautiful.
Thanks for that, I always look forward to you videos.
Cheers Paul, aye it was strange seeing those reflections.
