Oh my, Kevin, the last few minutes of this episode are just hilarious! And you even laughed (or at least, chuckled) at yourself! Simply perfect. For a while you were 18 years old on a camping trip. From the not-so-free solo motorcycle parking to the sacrificed fresh salmon sandwich to the pot noodles! Loved it! And there you were worried about going off script. Glad you didn’t edit out those scenes! Good job, sir. 😂

Loving your Scottish expedition Kevin. That parking issue would have wound me up no end. The coffee booth is clearly parked on the motorcycle bay so I would have done exactly the same and told her what to do with the coffee and sandwich I was going to buy 😂 that cold pot noodle had me in stitches. The imminent cold Baxter’s soup soon sobered me up. Must have been like eating the end result of a heavy night out 😂

Oh Kevin, You and your pot noodle had me laughing so much it brought tears to my eyes! However, it was a beautiful campsite, despite the weather. I was once caught in a hail shower, and boy, did it sting! I loved the light and shade on the hills as you were travelling along. I often look out my lounge window and see the same on the hills beyond Portree. Scotland is an ancient, wild and beautiful country which I am pleased to call home.

I've been giving his dilemma some thought... cold cuts need to be kept cold & a loaf of bread is bulky. I grew up camping & my mom packed Ritz crackers (don't know if they have them in the UK, but any cracker will work), applesauce pouch, potted meat (I know, blah, but my mom loved potted ham) and PEANUT BUTTER - great protein & very filling. Also some small cans of juice -- all shelf stable & not too bulky. Ritz comes in sealed portions so no box to pack. I really hope he doesn't need to go through this again. I really wanted to hand him a hot latte.

Mad--in a good way LOL. Took a bus from Craignure to Fionnphort 40 years ago. When I purchased the tickets in Oban, the nice guy selling the ticket corrected my pronunciation. "It's Finnefert" (accent on first syllable). Who knew? Anyway, one of the best bus trips ever. My 6-year-old at the time giggled the whole way because she was getting bounced around so much. Anyway, thanks for taking me on a wonderful trip down memory land.

I so love your videos and am very much enjoying this special trip. As others have commented, your "it's raining outside the tent, and I'm eating crunchy noodles inside it" soliloquy left me laughing! Absolutely wonderful! I do sometimes hope (although it is a part of what makes you you) that you'll reconsider your the "most people aren't worth much" references. I observe that you've met quite a few fundamentally decent people...just in the years' worth of your videos that I've enjoyed. And I'll offer up my lived experiences which, while often challenging, have taught me something different. At any rate, these "travel docs" are wonderful and the vistas on the trip are stunning. Seeing some of the Scottish islands is on my bucket list, and it isn't in the cards just now, so your unique motorcycle view is a real treat! Like others, I look forward to the next one. Peace! Thank you! And blessings on the journey!

What the hail. Eh? Ouch! Funny when you were talking about how rugged and self sufficient one would have to be to live out there. Then you ran smack dab into a tourist trap with dated signage in two places as to steel horse parking. Once parked in the designated spot you were promptly told your bike would be demolished if you left it there. I'll just bet the "fresh" salmon sandwiches were anything but that. I am with you on getting to know people along your travels and agree with the eight out of ten pain ratio. Location dependent.

Yep it doesn't take much for one person to alter your enthusiasm for something. Was quite looking forward to a decent sandwich (so I'd been told).

Thanks Kevin, for taking us along on this wonderful bike adventure but I must say that you are a Hero, I thought that through thick and thin I've been able to avoid starvation by using my noggin, a bit of ingenuity but I think you've just beat me. The "Bad Boy" is just about edible due to the very hot sauce so maybe you did yourself a favour by using cold water, lol. Take care and all the best. Stevie

Thanks for taking us on your journey. Couldn't you have asked the van next to you for some hot water? As a motorhomer, I would have happily boiled a kettle for your Bombay Bad Boy.

Back when, I was In basic training for the USAF, ( 1976 )we had a confidence course trading day and our lunch was a 1945 “ C “ ration , cold roast beef in a can , a peanut butter cracker thingy, and a pall mall cigarette in a wax tube . Some salt pepper and a bit of chewing gum. So I can feel your pain on a cold meal when necessary.

The stove is a Coleman 533 multi fuel. It burns unleaded petrol, so gives off carbon monoxide. I didn't buy from the seafood bar as I was unable to park (the premises occupy the bike parking spaces). 🙂
