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.

Imagine all of the different types of people through the many ages, who've passed through, camped, fought bloody battles, hid from Romans or Vikings (or Picts), and all tho souls who have met violent ends in those very spooky wooded areas. Lots of dark vibes ...I would not venture there at night in any woods. I did that camping thing in the hills in Spain, and I did not have very good nights there...all kinds of spirit activity through the nights...I am too traumitized to even recall those old memories so long ago.

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 !
