As a young fella, I stayed in a spot called fladda lighthouse off the coast of an island called Luing just south of Oban. My Aunt was a kayaker who died quite young and this was close to where her cairn was placed. I was quite apprehensive but in reality, I felt nothing untoward, more like she was around and looking after us. enjoyed your video mate. Subbed too.

Couldn't stop smiling at your fear of being in a Bothy without a lock on the door. Over here in NZ, we have over 1000 hut and shelters in our forests and mountains, all have no locks. The more that you get out and use them the fear will dissipate, and you will start to enjoy it more. So far this year I've done 50 tramps (hikes) most of them solo, taught bushcraft and was a mountain guide. so, most of my life has been in the mountains and in that time have seen students go from scared to, able, and confident in a very short time. Tramping is our national pastime, so most people start young. In my local forest there are 52 huts and shelters, and the forest is 80k long and 30k wide and rises to 1600M and the bush line goes up to 1200M, so you can get truly away from it all and not be worried about 'mad axe men' coming after you. enjoyed the video. ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ 😊😊

There's no lock on the door but if you were camping you wouldn't have a lock on your tent would you! Bothies are only scary if you tell yourself that they are scary, otherwise it's a stone tent. Oh and people can and sometimes do arrive a bothies hours after dark so you need to be prepared for that too, I still love a night in a bothy but I'd have to admit that it's much more fun when there's a few of you.

Sorry - didn't mean to dump on you. I have backpacked in many soggy locations. Just returned from a backcountry trip to Alaska. The trick I use to start fires in wet conditions is to sprinkle some Coleman fuel on the wood. I noticed you carried some in for your stove. Works every time. Obviously start with some lighter gauge wood strips. If you have a hatchet you can peel off strips to get into the dry interior of the logs and branches which will help enormously. Good luck !
