3 Days Solo Camping in Scotland's Wilderness - It Broke Me

[@JeffIP3]

Super video, and a brilliant attitude throughout. :-)) A small niggle / suggestion. In Scotland, as in many other wild places, you should 'leave absolutely no trace' of your presence. That means, for example, not lighting fires on grass - as that would leave a scorch mark (and damage the flora). Light your fire right beside the river on a load of stones and there'll be far less damage to anything. Keep camping though, and keep enjoying your super adventures.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thank you! Agree re leave no trace! The firepit was already there and established so thought it would be best to use that instead of damage a new area.. in hindsight I could've done better

[@RobbC.]

Mate, you are one of the strongest guys I know. It takes a greater strength to know when to change the plan than to follow the crazy brain and get in to trouble. Congrats on making it that far. The mountains will still be there next year, for the next adventure. Keep up the great work!

[@EzeAdventurer]

So kind my man, really appreciate it!!

[@MaverickSage]

One of the most comforting videos to watch on the bed or the couch even though you're literally working your ass off to survive in the wilderness. Please keep them coming. Love it.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thank you!!!

[@2Gundogs]

Totally the right decision! Midges are a nightmare… I can’t do Scotland in midge season as I react so badly to them. And the mountains will always be there! It’s a wise man that lives to fight another day. Your videos get better and better. It’s refreshing to see someone as honest, humble and strong as you making videos that aren’t “bought to you by this weeks sponsor (insert name of crap overpriced gear de jour!)” And I don’t think someone who’s canoed the Yukon can ever be accused of being weak!

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much my friend I really appreciate the kind words of encouragement !!

[@MrDroldo]

Really enjoyed this video man. Stumbled upon your channel some time ago and kinda binged a lot of videos haha. What I really apreciate is that you are like the ‘normal hiker’ kinda man. No 1000 dollar tents, no crazy ass long distances. Just a normal man, enjoying some time off in nature, doing some adventures. Looking forward to next trips! All the best, Sam.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks Sam! Yeah gotta keep it real eh? I appreciate your comment, glad you like the content matey

[@Neile-13579]

Another great adventure Eze. Turning back when things turn to crap mentally, physically or due to conditions is not failure. It is the smartest choice. Keep up the adventures Eze, we really enjoy watching them.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much appreciate it!

[@thomasrevell1]

Another awesome adventure that’s well captured and documented! Something I always like is saying the word “pivot” (in the classic friends sofa scene voice of course) whenever an adventure doesn’t go to plan I remind myself to pivot and use what I have and go in the new direction with the same focus and intent as the original plan. Also great addition of the new mic set up, adds some nice voiceovers.

[@EzeAdventurer]

PIVOTTTT.... PIVOTTTT!!!! LOL!!! Gotta love Ross. Totally agree man!!! I was a little disheartened but once I embraced the situation it turned out beautifully! Glad you noticed the mic set up, it's a bit of a faff but definitely makes better audio.

[@jacqueline7118]

Be in the now, very wise words. I think you are plenty strong. I have done some brutal backpacking trips in my day but over a longer period than some people. I didn't view myself as not strong, I just didn't want to be rushed through them. I went on these trips for a few reasons. A challenge is one but it didn't have to be on a timeline because I am also there to enjoy my surroundings and just be in my happy place. No shame in not being able to complete your route. It takes more strength to turn around than to keep going and risk injury. It was a very demanding route and just may take more time than you first planned. Thanks for sharing. As always, looking forward to your next adventure. :) :)

You did the right thing Eze, if you're not feeling it don't do it. Good effort though, that first mountain was brutal...almost as brutal as the midges

[@EzeAdventurer]

Lol I think the midges felt like a holiday compared to that first mountain!

[@aspireroaming]

If it always went smooth or to plan or you knew exactly what you were going to do and see. It wouldn't be a real adventure. It would mainly be a routine outing. These adventures takes courage to do , to go outside of your comfort zone and sometimes your ability is tested to the max. It's how we adapt and overcome the situation that makes the person an adventurer rather than a tourist. If it was easy .everyone would be doing it but they don't. So it takes the strong willed to take such tasks on and a even stronger willed person when to call it. Great video always bud .

Eze , you should Make mosquito spray. 1 Full Tablespoon Lemon Eucalyptus 1 Tablespoon Castle Soap (liquid) 1 Tablespoon witch hazel If you can’t find Castel soap you can use 2 tablespoons of witch hazel. Use a “glass” spray bottle And keep Repeating mixture until bottle is full. Shake extremely well before using, otherwise it will not work. The castel soap really helps it mix well. Hope you give it a try and it helps!

you did great. if you get tired enough to worry about decisions and focus, head for home. doing anything in this terrain without a path, is about fifty times harder. i once spent 90 minutes crossing some land about 500m..... just outside glasgow, the cliffs at kilpatrick, an ancient boulder field covered with voids and long grass and brambles, felt lucky to get out alive.

"last wilderness" is a bit of a questionable title, given that you will hear that exact title also given to Knoydart, a peninsula further south on the west coast. In fact, neither of them are true wildernesses, as both were deforested at some point in their history and were more populated before the clearances. It is still a beautiful area nonetheless.

[@TerraNova1967]

There's a word to describe walking up hills and mountains in Scotland without paths and making your own way. It's called sprackling, and the verb is to sprackle. Sprackling in Scotland is very tough, the terrain is very tough. Your speed and the amount of distance you could cover is not a surprise to me, and is not an indication that you are not as tough or as strong as you thought you were. The Scottish terrain is far tougher than you thought it was, not you. Well done for a great adventure and making good decisions.

I loved the scenery as always in your videos of Scotland, but did from the start worry about the size of your trip and time allowed. Unlike you I would not have walked around barefoot in the caca at the first campsite and I would have expected and prepared better for the midges. Note - they are smaller than mesh of most tents which are likely designed for mosquitoes. Well done for your honesty in admitting defeat and taking a safe route out. Your trip was still wonderful to watch even though shorter than planned.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much!! Yeah was little bit of a stretch, especially when filming, things take a lot longer, packs are heavier, and more energy is expensed. The mesh in the tent stops the midges 100% :-)

[@EzeAdventurer]

Next time will be ferrorod ! :-). Bugs way worse than bears agreed

[@michaelbroyer3918]

Your videos are very good. Some thoughts: nothing wrong with changing your route. The Mountains will continue to be there. There are no real forests in the UK, so don't skip bringing a backpacking stove. Two words: Bug repellant. You are a FOOL not to bring. Every backpacker worth his/her salt has failed to execute a route. It happens. Do not be hard on yourself. Plan your routes for you, not KZbin. Keep exploring. I have backpacked all over the planet so I have some simple knowledge. Peace. Looking forward to your next adventure.

Thanks for the comment! Appreciate you taking the time!

Mam made me stand out side and then hosed the literal shit off my whole body. Because it used to be up to my waste.

Cheers mate

Another great Eze adventure, even if it didn't go according to plan. 50km for normal folks, 70km for youtubers back and forth to get the camera. I see you've found a formula for sharing amazing places but keeping people away and from overrunning the place. Show all the bugs. These last two adventures are definitely not for me with all of those annoying biting bugs.

[@EzeAdventurer]

haha yeah the protectors of the land were in full force on this one!!

[@AlamTerkembang]

You really now believers. There is life after for that 'now'

[@garyboyle695]

You only fail if you never try anything.

[@EzeAdventurer]

100% right on man!
