It's so good to see someone share the outdoors with their dog. I had 14 years of enjoyment like that with mine. He preferred my wool blankets and quilt to his own bed, though. No fun when he was damp or wet. Nor did he agree that the pile of kindling was for MY use. He'd transfer them piece by piece to "his" preferred spot and lay a foreleg over them. I'd tease them from his "protection" for the fire, and he'd be horrified. What is wrong with you??? Why are you burning sticks??? Laugh a minute. Excellent video, thanks.

[@letitiamccann1317]

Wat fun yous must have had brot smile thank you for sharing

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching Liam and your dog sounds like quite a character. It's just not the same without them!

[@eastkentuckyexplorer5448]

My favorite channel by far. You do a amazing job capturing the moments in all of your videos.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for much 😄👍🏻

[@KyleDurocher]

Gorgeous drone footage. Thanks for sharing your adventures and all the best from Canada!

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for watching Kyle!

[@sams5049]

Brilliant, Rothiemurchus is an amazing place to spend a few nights, and you couldn’t of asked for better conditions. Great video mate, liking the new tent!

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching 😄👍🏻

[@BooniesPeaks]

Really enjoyed this ! ive been looking more and more into bushcraft camping this winter and this ticked all the boxes. The weather and light was amazing for shooting the video !

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching 👍🏻

[@catherinegowan1362]

Beautiful scenery. Very cosy in the tent I bet. Great to see you and Darach again. Look forward to your next. From a very sunny and warm 30C Perth west australia. Hope you enjoy the festive season, good food, a few friends and perhaps a nip or 2🥃❤

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much as always Catherine, glad you enjoyed it. All the best for the festive to you too.

[@neillovell9003]

Brilliant vid again mate, beautiful weather and light. Me n the Mrs were sat in awe.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much Neil, glad you both enjoyed it 😄👍🏻

[@obiblooze5902]

Great vlog, spectacular place, shame the aurora didn't appear but hope you can capture it another time. Darach is lovely 🥰

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thank you so much 😄

[@artyfartyart2839]

thanks so much for the calming beautiful drone shots/music and details about your lovely quality new tent etc...fab vid.....i hve just progressed to a one tigris tarp and wee nice quality wee firebox/grill ..enjoyed some hot dogs and rolls n butter and some pure rain water from the sides of the tarp (thou had it on a slight slope /note to self lol for cooking).....for a wee rainy day camp and my old wproof tarp n coat n fleece to keep warmer.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching and sounds like you've got a great setup going on 😄👍🏻

[@edpikestone6800]

Great video and very jealous of the weather- nothing but rain in Ireland!!!! I think this has to have been your best production to date. With your Osprey pack, don’t forget the Almighty guarantee that comes with it. If the pack gets damaged Osprey will repair or replace the pack for free. All you have to do is pay for the postage. I have just got my Aether 65 back and it is like new again.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thank you Ed! I genuinely didn't know that about the Osprey guarantee, that's very good to know! 👍🏻

[@Graham_Barker]

Another great video Sam. Have a great Christmas & New Year all the best for 2024 🎉😊

[@robertw4265]

Sublime location in superb weather conditions, Sam. Keen to hear you say Mhurchais as evidence of your Caledonian authenticity, but I must have missed it. Judging by better-known Gaelic names, I expect there'll have been a v at the start and an -ish at the end, with a violently rolled r and throat-clearing ch in the middle. Was actually waylaid by the absolutely mesmerising drone shots. In fact, you must by now have enough footage to make a self-standing video collage of Highland forests (or lack of them) from the air. Music-enhanced, of course. With the main topographical features captioned. And free of bla-bla-bla! Easy to tell I've never produced anything like this myself, isn't it? The work you put in is very much appreciated and enjoyed, though. As the folk below demonstrate. Well, all except the muttonhead - but you despatch him effectively ...

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks as always Robert and it sounds like you have the pronunciation spot on 👍🏻 The drone definitely opens up more possibilities for content 👍🏻

[@Davidsdigitalmemories]

Great video. You definitely look your happiest in this weather. The tent looked fab, really like how it opened up on the side too. Would like to see it on a ridge line. May hold its shape better. Thankyou.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

I think I will try the ridge line next time! Thanks for watching 😄👍🏻

[@PAWSontheTRAILwithme]

Just a beautiful video! Edited so nicely. Gorgeous forest blanketed with snow and your setup was great. Been watching your videos for awhile now and I always enjoy them. I love your pup too. Drone footage was excellent. Thank you for the hard work you've put into the channel. Take care and look forward to more videos. 💯👍🐾🏕️🌳🌲

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thank you so much for this comment it's much appreciated 😄👍🏻

What a beautiful place! Thank you for enduring the cold temperatures so we could enjoy the beautiful scenery! The walk you took us on really displayed the beauty of green and white contrasts. The music you chose for that part was so lovely!! We're still waiting for winter proper here so we really enjoyed yours! Thanks again - from Michigan USA!

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it. We are back to +12c here now…hopefully we'll get another taste of winter soon 😄

Wow that was gorgeous, thank you for the amazing drone footage. Darach is adorable hiding in the blankets and following you like a shadow 😊 Could I ask.. is Rata Mhurchais another name for the area?

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching 😄 Rata Mhurchais is the Gaelic name.

What a magical trip! Seen this tent elsewhere, looks like a really good option for a short walk in. What sleeping bag you using for the dog? Our lab is lean and really feels the cold.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much 👍🏻 sleeping bag is the Harris from Bark and Ride Sports. This one is size Large

Awesome winter camp. Cold weather camping is always better with a hot blooded fur buddy to snuggle up to. I am sure you gave him some of that steak ....

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thank you! Yes he definitely got some 😄

[@haggishunteroutdoors]

Nice one mate cracking camp and location. Thats my dream location there or glen feshie is on my list to go. Good looking hot tent i would love to do it saving up for one so hopefully next year. Great vid mate ATB.sam

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching Sam 👍🏻

[@Kerry-ONeill]

Great video. A pleasure to watch. Beautiful drone views. I was wondering, how long of a hike in to your spot? Thanks

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching Kerry, it was about 7km walk in.

[@davidhudson7590]

Very versatile tent luxury camp but in this weather beats huddled into sleeping bag by 5pm 😂I'm new but finding processing wood very relaxing rather than hardwork and the campfire brings out the inner child in us all calming relaxing and tranquil great vid jotted down dog gear to order as gets cramped me and 2 bull terriers in sleeping bag😂

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Yeah it's just no fun without some kind of campfire or woodstove to focus on at this time of year 😄👍🏻

[@petergreen540]

Hi pal awesome video. Only thing missing is first aid for you and dog. Very helpful video.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching! I didn't show it but I did mention I had a first aid kit in the top pouch of my bag 👍🏻

[@madcat1007]

Cracking video as always. Thanks. Just out of interest how much did all that gear weigh and how far did you have to hike with that on your back?

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching! It was about 15kg on my back and a couple more for the woodstove and I walked in for about 7km 👍🏻

[@craigrobertson4994]

Yeah absolutely stunning mate a wee bit cold for me though lol 👍✌️

What are the estate regulations for fires and burning of wood?

[@HighlandWoodsman]

I'm guessing you are referring to Rothiemurchus Estate. I'm not on their ground but as with most private estates they try to discourage people having fires but it shouldn't be a problem if you are following SOAC.

[@Timmyjg2004]

When the fire goes out and your going to bed, do you close the front valve air thing? Thanks

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Not all the way or the fire won't have enough air to keep burning but I'll reduce it as much as possible for a slow burn.

[@Davidsdigitalmemories]

Great trip and footage. How do you rate the sleeping bag? Cheers 🥃

Thank you 😄👍🏻 pleased with the bag, very warm for little weight and no cold spots anywhere. It's not the most spacious though a little on the narrow side once completely zipped up.
