Lovely video, thanks for.sharing. Yes, traveling with no expectations often brings the most enjoyable experiences.

[@3rubberboats]

You are a very joyful person with a great sense of humor and a most beautiful smile. Thank you for sharing this adventure. Have a most extra wonderful day.

[@Davidsdigitalmemories]

Hi. I'm a regular haze outdoors watcher and found your channel through one of his videos. I am so glad I did. You are fantastic to watch. I really enjoy your content and videos are so well put together. I watched your Cape wrath trail and now working through these. Thank you for my escape.

[@TalesofAdventure]

Such beautiful scenery!! 😍😍

[@rhondavedder8896]

So inspiring! Thanks for sharing.

[@ianjames1179]

These videos are getting better and better, and more and more professional. What a beautiful enchanting video. Congratulations on this highly successful Channel Becky.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you so much, its nice to hear that

[@ElizabethGaddPhotography]

Discovered your videos last month and have been loving them so much! Thank you for sharing these calming, peaceful camping trip vibes. Feeling super inspired by your adventures! And what a BEAUTIFUL way to explore the Scottish highlands by packraft, the scenery is absolutely stunning!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you so much! x

[@someusername1]

This was utterly stunning. How beautiful. I am envious of your trip there.

[@jimrollins4857]

Howdy from Oklahoma, very peaceful there, much better than being in the city, thanks for sharing your adventures. God bless ya!

[@barriereid9244]

The West coast has some of the most dangerous waters in the UK. The Clyde Fjord (Firth of Clyde) is demanding for its many underwater currents, tidal surges and no end of ferries to paddle around. Even though I know these waters there are still anomalies that throw me, especially when bad weather and Atlantic storms weigh in. As well as my last list of necessaries, a helmet too given the hidden rocks along the coast. A handheld VHF will keep you in touch with Belfast Coastguard for the individual weather systems in that neck of the woods. 08:08 and 20:08 usually is fine for forward planning. Take care Rebecca. P.S. Deadlines are a moot point when you are travelling by sea. Your point of arrival is always further away than you think. As a rule of thumb I paddle around 5km/hour...much the same as I walk...and underwater currents and wind driven surface currents can throw your calculations.

Amazing video Becky...my mum was born in a little village called Bonawe at other end of loch...they moved to Glasgow when she was ten years old.

[@christopheverstappen2559]

Becky, again a great film to watch, thank you very much, keep up doing great things like this

[@user-David-Alan]

What an amazing place. Thank you for sharing. Be safe and stay well.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you! You too!

[@clactonmassive]

Got me looking at pack rafts now !.........Wife is well happy !........What amazing scenery. ❤

[@GirlOutdoors]

Haha love that!

[@Laylit]

Unbelievable how fast your Channel grows. You deserve every bit of it! The work you do put into your videos is crazy, always heavy stuff with masses of beautiful landscapes. Rock on! 🤝

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aww thank you, always appreciate your support!

[@stevenconnor4221]

Nice, looks like a good trip. Scotland is best under 10deg to avoid midges lol. Even if it's hot I would always have a smoky fire nearby the wee buggers dont like smoke and E45 cream or vinegar and water washdown to take the sting out of those bites.

[@smittylite02]

Love the smoke bath to keep the midgees away. Your videography has improved immensely over the past year, keep it up👍. Beautiful landscapes in this one have my heart longing to return to Scotland.

[@jimwilliams2753]

another amazing vlog, love your channel

[@DartyD]

Cracking Becky Ep2. Been looking forward to this. Scotland is just epic the last wilderness in the UK

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you! It sure is :)

[@petelumley1578]

In years to come you will look back on these adventures with pride, and rightly so. Keep them up for as long as you can. Happy travels

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Pete!

[@mrnoisy4883]

Becky you should try the walk from Bridge of Orchy down through Glen Kinglass to Loch Etive then to Taynuilt. Great 2 day walk.

as allways top video girl lov it i lov a bit of wild camping to get out of east london blessing davey

[@bryanbadger6841]

So if the wind is the prevailing wind, then my advice would be to wait for it to die down if you have the time. If you think you're better off going out with outgoing tide, it's worse. Wind against tide produces a very lumpy sea. Tough going in your little craft. Your call. You must have written a few journals since you started "Girl Outdoors." Just a thought...why not put your entries into book form. Yes it takes time, and yes there are a few similar books on the market now. But speaking for myself, I'd buy it. And the next, and the next and so on. Until next time, take care. Atb from down here in Nz.

[@erinsalarun1090]

Beautiful video Becky !! Makes me realise how little of Scotland I actually got to enjoy when I lived there years ago!!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Erin! Take care :)

[@glennholdom7005]

Another great video, Becky featuring Loch Oban and the Scottish Highlands. Thank you. Some wonderful scenery.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Glenn!

[@michaelatkinson8291]

Isn't it wonderful to be in a place where the silence is absolute ? The world is so noisy so when you find conditions like that it is priceless. Do you like me find the midge net a little claustrophobic ? It is necessary though when those little devils come out. Fantastic video again Becks xx

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Becky looked a bit like a beekeeper in that gear! Good thing she had it...

[@GirlOutdoors]

Yess it was lush! I don't like wearing the net all the time but I would rather that than having midges everywhere aha! Thank you x

[@GirlOutdoors]

hehe! :)

[@aaronlbuchanan9861]

Nice video Becky, thank you for sharing. Beautiful country, great scenery.

[@javirodriguez8379]

Wow, beautiful peaceful place, i love scotland Woods, nice, cheers

[@peterjackson4132]

Great video Becky, thanks. Stay safe on the water reminds me of that time you lost all your gear on the river and had to finish your film at home way back

[@JuliaJulia007]

So beautiful. I did tear up a little when your music began as you walked the shoreline.

[@GirlOutdoors]

aww thank you x

[@joekelly9369]

Woooow hats off to you Becks And a biiiig hug for being a tough cookie . I took my daughter Sòph, kayaking loch lomond for a week. Big inflatable crap paddle .. i had to rush buy what i could in the short time her work holidays had allowed us , we paddled this barge around for a week ..got blown all over . Pretty mentally soul destroying twenty paddles to the left one to the right .. repeat repeat ,,,,,,, good fun when the wind stopped though . We did that loch 3 times .once to get a take away 😀😀😀 well worth it . It still feels like i have motorbike gloves on. Hands are that swolen . Anything air filled is a chor to steer and controll . you get hero status in my book x NO MATTER how hard the stay how bad the weather you always feel the place tugging at your soul to have another go

[@GirlOutdoors]

Ah love that! bet you had a brilliant trip :) I completely agree with your last sentence! Thank you and take care Joe

[@johndavidson6867]

Loved the video Becky, its good to be able to just go for your own enjoyment with no expectations to impress anyone but yourself. Looking forward to seeing more like this, Becky just being Becky, it is, to me inspirational. Take care Becky, and continue to enjoy life.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you so much John, that really means a lot! Take care my friend x

Its always amazing to me to see wear you started as a silly kid and thru the years on you tube I ve watched you grow in a young woman with a wonderful soul. Keep going into the wild Becky. Your friend in ohio Joe

[@craigellitson6511]

love this thinking of taking my self out next year for this sort of thing

[@GirlOutdoors]

Definitely! :)

[@FloridaPete1948]

Really, REALLY nice video Becky! I admire your guts and determination. The scenery is spectacular and I remember it well. The last time I went to Scotland, I did exactly what you talked about in your video. I flew over to Glasgow, rented a car, and spent three weeks in NW Scotland--with NO PLAN 😎👍👍 I just drove all over NW Scotland. Becky, you need to make more trips to Scotland, especially the far NW part around Kinlochewe. Keep up the good work. pete

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you for your comment Peter, appreciate it! :) sounds great

[@damiandbg]

Inspirational ❤😄

[@moe_1886]

I could've sat there floating in that silence the whole day... so peaceful! 😊 I think I would have gone mental long ago with those midges! I don't know how you've managed to stay sane... although underwear hanging up next to your head and a bag of white powder does make me wonder! 🤭 Such a lovely adventure you're having Becky.

[@rajaneeshat2081]

Wow nice place 🤗 enjoy and take care of your self

New subscriber here. Love the videos so far. You are very inspirational to others! I'm sat here whilst recovering from a knee operation so it is keeping me going. Just downloaded the Grounded book you recommended too.

[@jayhickman2436]

Another great video. If you carry rubbing alcohol with you it works good on the itching from the bites. I wonder if those citronella candles would help kee6the midges out of your tent. The small ones that you can put in the little lantern holders you could hang in your tent. That area of Scotland you are in is absolutely beautiful. And I love the quiet also. Stay strong and safe.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Jay, appreciate it!

thank youuu!

[@moegardner1]

When they were building the bridge over to Skye I talked to some of the workers who were staying at the same hostel as I was, and they said the midges got so bad they would use the grease that they have in those lube guns they have to smear it all exposed skin. I remember walking from Broadford and when I approached the sea the midges felt like fire .

[@PeterKNoone]

Great trip! Looking forward to more.

Going on my first 1 night wild camp in 2 weeks thanks to finding this channel, thank you.

[@GirlOutdoors]

aw so nice to hear!

[@paullindberg6219]

Hi! I have had the same tent as you and unfortunately I had problems with the midges being able to get through the net. The only tents that can handle midges are Hilleberg. The best is the yellow label series. The black net is woven and this makes it absolutely tight. I really like your movies. Greetings from Sweden! 🇸🇪

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Paul! They are great tents nether the less - great stuff comes from Sweden! Lovely country :)

[@mrgravyman]

That noise of rain on the tent is so therapeutic, I hope everything goes smooth. You heard of Sealskins? They're very waterproof but kind of pricey socks. This trip was more of a chill vibe for you but just they've been a game changer for me!

[@GirlOutdoors]

It was lovely! Yes I own a pair of sealskinz but I didn't see the point when my feet are wet all day :)

[@mrgravyman]

[@joejones9520]

really amazing when you consider England is only the size of the US state Alabama and the entire UK including Ireland is just the size of Oregon. The variety of terrain and climate in such a small area amazes me. The comparable-in-size states do not have anywhere near as much variety.

[@nigelmitchell5726]

[@spincitynyc809]

Get a battery operated bug zapper for the tent. That's what I use when the bugs are pesky. Light weight and easy to pack.

[@tomlatenite8348]

Ahh, what a beautiful area. I thought I saw the Loch Ness monster behind you one time, or maybe not. There’s always a drawback to a beautiful area, like those pesky bugs. Love the raft, but have you seen the Oru Kayak that folds up? Thanks for the beautiful video!!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you! No I haven't heard of that kayak. Means a lot x

[@ArcticExploring]

Scotland looks really beautiful, def a place I want to travel to 🙂

There's a road/track to the houses although the caretaker often comes up by boat from Taynuilt

[@Adam_Outdoors]

Is this loch Etive?

[@markhunter2244]

The midges are a real menace at this time of year, but it’s a small price to pay for such a beautiful landscape and great place to reflect on life. (Are you sure the seals weren’t Selkies). Looking forward to the next one 🤓

[@andyblack5687]

I love how the smoke from the morning camp fire was going nowhere except right in your face. 😅 Glad I’m not the only one that happens to.

[@stevetaylor8446]

That first dip looked far too fresh for me lol....second one, at least the sun was shining. Those midges were unreal. Last week when I was out, I got bitten on the instep of my left foot by one mosquito. There were two, thought I'd got them both and was wrong lol. Still trying not to scratch now! Beautiful sceneries over there for sure

[@GirlOutdoors]

Hahaa! Thanks for your comment Steve :)

[@Vibrantaiprints]

Citronella candles work to fight off mosquitos. Do they work against midges? If they do it seems 1 candle inside the tent near the door should help keep them out. Great Video...cheers!

[@andrewskowronski6283]

In the Himalayas mountaineers hang prayer flags, to appease the Gods for a safe journey and climb. Becky hangs her underwear, and talcs her feet, saying loudly here I am, no pretense. The Gods were probably howling with laughter, along with us other viewers. No doubt they enjoy a good sense of humor, and will miss you as well. Cheers!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you for your comment Andrew :)

[@Stariana19]

I enjoyed watching this outdoor adventure and wonderful experience you had. The only thing I disliked was I wanted to see more of it! Perhaps you could talk your sister into going with you next time. Did you like your Alpacka raft or did you find it to be a bit of a nuisance to have it deflate everytime you needed to get your gear out? I have a ridgid kayak, its a Swifty Deluxe, but I like the portablity that your inflatable Alpacka raft allows. Thanks.

[@sbc1t]

You should take your boat to Loch Maree and camp there.
