Love the way you follow your heart in the mountains. Simply love all the mountains. So calm. Nice even light with the clouds. Loved hearing the cuckoo calling in the morning.

[@alasdairmacdonald6730]

Another excellent adventure. The "not a gear review" gear review was brilliant. I hope the knee is continuing to improve.

[@davids9549]

In an act of shameless homage to you Murray, I just bought a Scarp 1 - only had it out for a couple of trips but it's won me over. Congratulations on those excellent new trousers - is it too much to hope we've seen the last of the yellow version? Sphagnum Moss, btw, has many uses, not least of which is God's Toilet Roll. Great to see you out and about Murray. Your pack weighs heavier than most on account of the extra equipment carried to record your peerless footage for our delight.

[@geedee4]

Hi Murray, thankyou for yet another enjoyable video. I’m sure there are many of us who appreciate the effort that goes into making these. I find it hugely enjoyable to see the hills and glens of my native Scotland ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Despite higher, more majestic mountains on my doorstep (the Lyngen Alps), Scotland will forever be in my heart

[@runt8243]

Brilliant video as usual. Your character is so inspiring.

Glad you are being sensible with your knee, and so glad its moving in the right direction, i am sure if you do some things on a lower level they will be has entertaining has ever, esp with Gerry and Scotland has amasing lochs and woodland, all good Murray once again thank you so much for the vidoe,s keep then coming

Very inspiring video Murray, Iam 68 pulled a Ham string about 6 years ago and lost my fitness somewhat, I was tabbing up to Pen Y Fan a couple of years ago, Going up no probs, going down I was struggling with my knees, I was deffistated, and didn't do anything until a few Months back, and have been doing knee exercises and getting stronger, and my confidence is coming back, I plan to do a wild camp on Dartmoor...Well done Murray, Hope your knees get sorted.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Roy, hope your knee gets better. I think the physio exercises I have been doing have really helped strengthen the muscles around my knee, so my main focus is now keeping on doing them on a regular basis (easier said than done!lol) Hope you get out and about in the hils and mountains soon and the knee is ok Take care and thanks for watching Murray

Really good film Murray. As always. Totally agree about solitude. And we've stayed in that Glen before, camping by the river, before they cut the trees down to the south. Will need to try the hills tops next. 👍

[@ScotlandsMountains]

It’s a lovely area - I’ll be back soon too hopefully 👍 Take care and thanks for watching Murray

That was a really relaxing video. One of the first videos I watched of yours was camping on a mountain in the fall after a hike and the glow of your tent and the stars at night got me hooked! It was a nice explanation of your backpack. I'm always impressed with the size of camping gear now Take care…until the next video🇨🇦❤️

Nice to see you back out camping, lost with the walks.

[@klooncidful]

So glad to see you wild camping again, such a beautiful spot! I'm trying to work out where it is (as always!). Without revealing your secret location can you give us a clue? Is the river in the Glen named after a nut?

[@ScotlandsMountains]

that maybe a very good clue ;) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@jeg569]

Great chilled video, great news about your knee recovery. Thought it was Glenlyon till you said half hour from home, was it Auchnafree🤔 The new pack looked good, first time I have noticed any of your packs with the load lifting straps above your shoulders. Also liked the tent packed vertically. Looking forward to lugging my Osprey AG65 to Sandwood in a few weeks.

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Murray, great video mate. Totally agree with you about the rain covers, total waste of time, I just put stuff in dry bags!

[@pshearduk]

Brilliant camp Murray! Sleeping mat, sleeping bag and backpack all look and sound like brilliant pieces of kit. safe travels amigo

I was wild camping in the Lakes last week and enjoyed a tipple of Bruichladdich in the evening. One thing to try - Jaffa Cakes and Whisky. Honestly an unbeatable combination! Cracking video, Murray. So pleased you’ve been seeing the physio and I really look forward to hearing more about what they said/what you’ve done since getting injured etc. I posted my experience and some advice about a similar knee injury on one of your previous videos, so I’ll be interested to see how yours compares.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Jaffa cakes and whisky - I’ll need to try that on the next adventure when I take a wee tipple on a wild camp - never tried it before ! Knee is doing ok but just having to do physio and stretching every day - don’t think it’ll ever go back to what it was before (but it was never as good as it was before my first surgery in my early 20’s - just getting old and some wear and tear unfortunately 😭😭

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Nice one Murray. Great to see the old knee is doing ok👍. I feel the same about reviews. “ Don’t give a monkeys” 🤷‍♂️🙈 😁 ATB - Dave

[@ScotlandsMountains]

😂 afraid I am the same - the only time I seem to buy gear is when I can’t get into the mountains ! Lol so covid and when my knee was playing up I spent far too much on gear I wasn’t using !!

[@nickname6747]

Super wee video, Murray. Glad to hear the knee held up. Fingers crossed it stays on the mend. Like you say, never take The Highlands for granted, but why does there always have to be a cuckoo nearby? Kept awake by one in Fisherfield a couple of months back. Anywho, rant over, thanks again for uploading. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛰👍

Always a Cuckoo making a noise in the morning on camps!!lol Take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@Charlie-sr6dv]

Wonderful video of your wild camp. What a lovely spot! So glad your knee has passed another important test on your road back to full recovery. I liked that you talked about your rucksack and the reasons you bought it, what you like about it etc. You clearly have a vast wealth of experience that guides your clothing and equipment choices and I found what you had to say both helpful and interesting.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Charlie - very much appreciated , it was a fantastic wild camp albeit not too far from home which was an added bonus :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Julian - it was a fine location for the wild camp with the Brucey bonus of not being very far from home :) Catch up soon Murray

[@natalieminnis]

A beautiful location. I did a mountain camp at Stob Binnein last week, inspired by one of your videos, and it's just a shame I didn't have a good camera with me as the views were magical. And I had the whole mountain to myself. I was also carrying a new Osprey backpack, a 47L Kite, which felt very light and comfortable. Hope your knee recovers soon.

What make and model is that red and black tripod attached to your rucksack? You always seem to get steady footage, even when its windy. I struggle with a cheap tripod in wind, and lots of footage that's shaky, especially if zoomed in. I mistakenly bought a huge tripod to sort the issue but it's too big to lug around the hills. Would you recommend the red and black one?

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Hi Ed, its a K F concept tripod cost about £100 (I think). Its ok but the ball head ditatched from the tripod legs on my last trip so i would struggle to recommend it TBH!! Might looks for another one, but my cheap Hamna one is still going so I recon I'll go back to using that - its much cheaper and still going strong years later!!lol Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
