Return To The Galloway - 3 Day Bushcraft Wild Camp, Heavy Rains & Flash Flooding

#bushcraft #scotland #flood
I'm back in the Galloway National Park in Scotland for a very wet 3 Day Wild Camp with a good friend Josh. We came here 6 years ago to film the second video on my channel and decided to come back as a memoir of the trip.
The woodland surrounding this Loch is one of Scotlands last temperate rainforest and the weather came in true to it's name, extremely wet and even caused us to move camp multiple times due to flash flooding.

Great trip, despite the weather, good to camp with a good friend too, Scotland its either wet and windy or hot and midge'y Cheers🙏🌦

[@PrimalNomad]

Absolutely! It's always one or the other haha. Thanks so much for watching, really glad you enjoyed it.

[@hartmutcallsen7235]

you guys are really tough and always positive thinking.

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks! We try to keep positive despite the hardships the weather can throw at us haha 🙏🔥

Hi Liam, excellent video, yes Scotland is a beautiful country to roam. Been all over Scotland from Glasgow to Nairn and a lot of places in between when our two were younger, now their adults Lou and I will definitely be revisiting. Rough wild camping in Scotland is best done with a Hammock, the 4x3 is the perfect size tarp and you gain the use of all the covered ground space under it, and well done highlighting the damage done by irresponsible ignorant fool's disrespecting nature. Oh and take a few bin liners for the wet tarp and other gear. All the best to you and yours mate.

[@PrimalNomad]

A hammock is a definitive must for my next trip, especially in midge season haha! I really appreciate your kind words and hope that the responsible party see the advice and take it on the chin, unfortunately we loose too much access down to these things. Stay safe buddy 🙏

[@paulliddle8008]

Loved this Liam, we had a really hard time processing our timber over this weekend too, soooo wet. Agree about dd pegs, the wind simply ripped them out so made longer stick ones and all was good. Lovely views bud, really enjoyed the video. 👍🏻🔥🤙

[@PrimalNomad]

It's always a challenge in the wet but well worth the prep for a warm bite to eat hey! Thanks so much for watching & really glad you got out recentlynand had a good camp 🙏

[@j.radventures6654]

Man what a wicked trip love watching looks like wonderful place to go

[@PrimalNomad]

It's honestly amazing! Thanks so much for watching 🙏

[@ArielleViking]

Great trip in spite of the weather. Relaxing and enjoying watching this adventure. 👍

[@PrimalNomad]

It rewlly was a wet trip, but how could it not grace us with it's presence 😂 thanks for watching! 🙏🔥

[@batzpfsaddict2806]

Great video mate. The first video you done there is one of my faves. Its was the first time i had seen a millbank bag

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks buddy, I really had hoped we could have gone back to the same spot but the forestry works stopped that. So glad you enjoyed it 🙏🔥

[@danpowell101]

Awesome trip. Well done for keeping morale up in such conditions. Think I’ll be packing my ground setup and also the hammock for that potential situation for lakeside Scotland. Looking forward to the next video 🤙

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks! It's a hard thing sometimes but spirits were kept high and a great time was had as a result! A hammock is a solid shout 🙏😅. Appreciate you watching 🔥

[@GAKINZO]

Love it mate! Some lovely footage with a cracking edit too! Keep it up chap 🎉

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it 🙏🔥

[@GAKINZO]

No worries pal! Give us a shout if ya ever down south. I’ll hop out for an overnight pal! I bet you’ve got some cracking campfire stories geez 🫡🔥

[@BackGardenBushcraft]

Great video mate. Loved it. Stunning scenes - think I love Scotland - we need to go together soon! Also those Thornhill pouches are straight fire in realtree. Good call on moving the tarp bro

[@BackGardenBushcraft]

Also great job pointing out that shameful damage to those trees. Some people 🤬

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks so much buddy, I definitely agree. We'd have the best time there. Let's book it!! What kind of people do that in such a lovely place 😂 it's crazy! Thanks for watching my man ❤️

[@richardwilliamson3624]

Great video Liam. I see you were blessed with the liquid sunshine. I’ve always thought that anyone wanting to perfect their bushcraft skills should come up to Scotland and particularly the west coast. If you can thrive here with rain, damp ground, wet wood and midges then bush rafting further south would be a breeze 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks Richard! It was a wet old trip for sure but so good to test some of those skills and get to work on some proper bushcraft. I totally agree with you and love the challenge it brings. Appreciate you watching 💪🔥🙏

[@tourcheverybridge]

i hope the person who disrespected that tree watch this and feel ashamed!!

[@PrimalNomad]

Absolutely! Thanks so much for watching 🙏

[@Gunslinger-1962-martin]

Definitely a challenging one Liam & Josh 🌧 how many coats / jackets did you take liam 🙈 Good advice to the numpties that throw axes at a live tree 😤 i actually came across a bench today that had been screwed and nailed to a live tree 🤷‍♂️ 👏👏🤙👍

[@PrimalNomad]

Only the one jacket so I was prioritising keeping it as dry as I could haha, luckily it only got soaked on the last night. Some people don't realise the damage they are doing when they do these things unfortunately. Really appreciate you watching!

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Enjoyed that ! New sub here , keep it up 🏕 love the galloway , my favourite place

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks so much for subbing! It's a stunning place hey 🙏👌🔥

[@OUTDOORALLY]

@@PrimalNomad i was camping down there 2 or 3 weeks ago and lost my lavalier mic , was gutted 😁 but yeah great place to get lost in 👍🏻🏕

[@lonewolf352]

Awesome mate excelant video, so sorry about the trees no respect for nature at all. Nice to see josh as well.

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks mate! I know it's crazy how people act sometimes 🤯

[@BillyBigBollocks.]

I found the font quite hard to read. Closed captions over the top would be a suggestion from me for future to help those with crap eyesight like myself!

[@PrimalNomad]

I'll make sure to do that for you! I'll also use a different font in the future, thanks for watching! 🙏🔥

[@freddyoutdoors]

Really good watch dude shame about the bad damage just crazy what some people do but them Mres are great tho beautiful views their

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks dude! It really was but hopefully they see the error of their ways 🙏. I do love a good MRE, especially sat in such a wonderful vista! Appreciate you watching mate

[@haggishunteroutdoors]

Great video Liam I remember your video from Scotland a few years ago it was the video that I subbed to you. That was a cracking camp a shame for the amount of rain yous had. I'm gutted to see the trees that got damaged by idiots the right to roam is going to get took off us if that keeps up . Any way I can't believe you took a shaving kit with you as us Scots would say "on yersel lad" lol great video mate ATB. Sam

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks Sam! It really is a special place, for the channel and the atmosphere. I will always be heading back to this area, that's for sure. You can't beat a nice hot shave on a wet trip, somehow it brightens up the mood! 😂 Thanks for watching 🙏

Sick vid bud looks mega mate

[@PrimalNomad]

Cheers dude! It was 🔥🙏

[@Nofixedabode859]

Hi m8 nice video, isn’t long ago I was watching your last trip there, is josh still rocking the same sleeping system? And are you using the def1 or4? Thx m8

[@PrimalNomad]

That's amazing dude! I'm fairly certain his is the same system minus a may change. Mine is the carinthia def 4 for this trip as it was a bit cooler when filming this but I could maybe have used the def1 🙏

[@offsetsam]

How have you found the alton mats r value , true 4 ? Ive just received mine and looking forward to getting out on it , just hoping it will be good for winter to

[@PrimalNomad]

Honestly, I haven't used it enough to fully comment but when I have used it I've been extremely warm and haven't felt any cool spots or chills in the back. It's build quality it impeccable and competes with the thermarest range easily! Thanks for watching 🔥🙏

[@offsetsam]
