Solo Packrafting Adventure | EP4

[@FloridaPete1948]

Becky, I cannot tell you how impressed I am. You are one remarkable young woman!! I'm 73, and I've spent a LOT of time outdoors over the last 60 years. Folks, those of you who have not spent any time camping in the conditions Becky endured will never understand, or appreciate, the "TRUE GRIT" this young woman has. Becky is one TOUGH gal and an inspiration to not just other young women, but to ANYone who has ever set foot in the Great Outdoors. 👍👍✌✌💖🌹🌹😎😎 I don't know ANYONE who could SMILE that wonderful "quick smile" of Becky's while paddling a pack raft in the pouring rain, wind, and getting eaten alive by midges. I've been to NW Scotland's highlands and to Alaska when I was a kid. Becky, you are a gal that was born for an Alaskan adventure. I am looking forward to your future outdoor adventures. Well done Becky!!👍👍🌹👌✌✌

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you so so much for this lovely comment Pete, it really means a lot ❤️ made my day! Also thank you for transferring some money via PayPal that’s so kind :) I appreciate that you think that I would suit Alaska - I hope to one day see it! Take care x

[@davidian107]

I can’t stop watching what you do it’s brilliant. Your family must be very proud of you living the life you do. Your Mum and Dad have brought you up to love nature and the Great Outdoors. You can’t beat it. All the very best. Thank you 😊

[@charlesbrown1528]

I now live in Tucson AZ. However was born and raised in the Allegany region of the Appalachian Mts. Of the US. I was raised in the woods and taught wilderness survival, bushcraft, and taught to love and respect nature. Becky I have watched many of your bush craft and adventure videos. You are a natural and truly will be remembered as one of the best in this subculture. I give props to you and who influenced and taught you. Proper job. And thank you.

[@charlesbrown1528]

Becky we have a great wilderness adventure group here in AZ. If you ever wish to experiance the wonders and beauty of the Sonaran Desert wilds and learn desert bush craft. You are forever welcome. We have it all. High mountain ranges with winter snow, abundance of diverse landscape teaming with wildlife. We have Elk, Prong Horn (Antelope) white tail Deer, Mule Deer, Ring Tails, Jack Rabbits, Desert Cotton Tail, Coyote, Jahvelina (Pecary), Montain Lions, Bobcats, And now sightings of Jaguars, Black Bears, many reptiles, birds, etc.... etc.... Oh, and Mexican Gray Wolves are making a comeback I'm told.

[@SirPrancelot1]

Wonderful series. Being able to get out on the water adds another dimension to the outdoor/hiking experience, including the spiritual one. You were obviously moved by your experience and it is inspiring. Such a shame about the human waste. Some people just don't give a damn. Hard to imagine why someone can't be bothered to dig a small hole and bury it, and carrying food in but not carrying the packaging out, only a fraction of the weight. Thanks, keep up the good work!

[@stephenreie9847]

Loved tuning in to your videos, was also good to catch up on a upto date video, I've been looking at a lot of your videos trying to catch up, you show off how beautiful Scotland is, makes me proud to be SCOTTISH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@robjopling1573]

Loved the series Becky. Reminded me of the time I walked from Bridge of Orchy to Ardmaddy where I called. The midges were the worst ever. Then walked up the other side of the loch to the head where I got picked up. A lovely remote spot.

[@ReneVandyk]

Hi Becky love ❤️ the scenery you are the Best in kayaking 😊

[@UrbanGrrl69]

An amazing trip Becky. Hopefully your next Scottish adventure will be when midge season is over, they are torture. Although you are leaving Scotland behind you, now a part of it is in you and it will never let you go. I am sure you will understand where that fierce Scottish spirit is born out of this harsh and unforgiving landscape and likewise where that kind hospitality arrives, to come in out of the rain and wind and share warmth, food and comfort with kin. Haste ye back. 😀

[@FloridaPete1948]

Well said! The 3 weeks I spent in NW Scotland back in 1997 were simply spectacular. And the people of Scotland are just the BEST.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you for your lovely comment! Means so much ❤️

[@alexclark3764]

The scenic views are fantastic. Bear would be impressed by your survival skills 🌧️☀️👍

[@martincampbell3024]

Hi Becks...great vlog as usual..so lucky you are to be spending time in Scotland...just a quick point to help you with your weather and rafting with the rain usually means a drop in air temp and a change in air pressure and will affecting your raft pressure..so may not mean you have a slow leak in the raft...good luck with the rest of your adventures you are making me homesick.....

[@aaronlbuchanan9861]

Thank you Becky, for sharing your adventure with us. Have a great day.

[@fuzzle9392]

You should go for a wander into the likes of Knoydart; the Fisherfield Forest; Glen Affric; Torridon; the Cairngorms... All these and quite a few others are highly recommended areas for you to explore and experience the differing forms of landscape and style of mountains. They all have their unique personalities dependent on where you go. And of course presenting yourself as a meal to the various tribes of midges, clegs and ticks. There are many really interesting places to go and spend a whole lot of time on in Scotland, on top of it all is the rich history of the various areas.

[@captainlandslide9874]

Amazing!! Well bloody done, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this from end to end ☺️. I recognise the Loch too but I won’t name it as I didn’t hear you name it 😉. The 2 geezers at the end were comedy gold 😂. Keep up the good work 👍 from Captain Landslide 😉👍

[@joebeatty4405]

Gonna miss this little uplifting series. What an adventure from our favourite adventurer. Thanks for bringing us along Becky.

[@andywilliment581]

Hi Becky. This was a fantastic and enjoyable series. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Andy!

[@3rubberboats]

Greetings Becky, Every episode was stunningly beautiful. Being alone in the great outdoors gives one time to think about life in general. You have done very well and are learning new things. So crack on and enjoy life to its fullest. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thanks so much Moses, much appreciated:)))

[@ReneVandyk]

Hi Becky here is a tip when it rain at dusk just getting dark you have bate with flashlight you can see the worms come up And there’s fishing bate Now tip 2 bate don’t be scared ok If you turn rock slowly you will get a crayfish don’t grab the front get it by the tail the way I hook it up from the front and back it will look in water a life bass Northern Pike and pike walleye large mouth bass small bass it’s giving them like steak and eggs 😊❤

[@davidvaughn7752]

Nice! Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@user-David-Alan]

Beautiful area. Thank you for sharing. You are an amazing young lady. Stay well and be safe.

[@johndavidson6867]

Awesome video Becky, I don't think there is anything better than being out like you have been, with no pressure as to time or other expectations other than your own. As to Alaska, I actually preferred the Yukon, but thats just me. Hopefully we will be able to see you enjoying other lands as you broaden your experiences. Wishing you a great fall and winter season, may all your dreams come true.

[@markfoyle6236]

I travelled to Scotland a month ago with the family from the south coast....its a really beautiful place,very overwhelming with the scenery. Will definitely be going back I want to climb ben nevis :)

[@michaelatkinson8291]

Hi Becks. Brilliant series, enjoyed it as much as your West Highland Way series. Any trip done solo has it's highs & lows; it's what makes us who we are. Get some cream on them bites ! xx

[@denihendayana5775]

Amazing place to explore really exited to see, nice job and thanks a lot becky

[@therealmccoy8310]

Becky , I love this video it's beautiful and peaceful and quiet except for the Stag. You were at ease in the wilderness. You have come a long way Baby Girl and it is a absolute pleasure to join you on your adventure. PS I couldn't understand the Scots!

[@pamelabartlett6352]

Thank you so much Becky for this series. I’ve loved watching every minute of them. Scotland Is my favourite place in the world....its my spiritual home and where my Dad came from. I can’t get there at the moment so your series has made me very happy and I’m so glad you have had a great adventure on this trip.

[@ianbrown4308]

That was brilliant Becky,the whole adventure was great to watch.Your a real trooper even continued filming in that rain storm.Can see how much this means to you,and how much you enjoy it.Hopefully you can make it back up to Scotland soon for some more adventures.Take care and very best wishes.Regards Ian.

Yet another great video Becky...well done, and great scenery!

[@brngrofdeth]

So beautiful! The land as well. Thank you for sharing this huge experience!

[@jonmusgrave7670]

Loved this series, I really liked what you said about appreciating things around you in everyday life, people spend life trying to better themselves earn more money, get on in life, which is the way I have always been, in the last few months I have decided to live my best life and experience things like never before and this series has inspired me to actually do it thank you so much

[@christopheverstappen2559]

It is always a pleasure to watch your films, keep up the great adventures

[@allancrawford9979]

Awesome again ! To cope with a week in the West Highlands in the summer is no mean feat between rain and midges but you thrive, you should check out fly fishing great for back packing trips.

[@doylemontgomery9912]

Miss Becky you did it again, another great video!!! I do believe your part duck 🤣🤣🥰..thanks for sharing this excellent trip. I always look forward to seeing you. ❤🌹 from Texas.

You see Becks, another advantage of fly fishing is that the bait doesn't fight back! Superb series, you get better and better, thanks!

Another great video . Brilliant scenery and find them very interesting .reminds me what i used to do years ago . Bet you really enjoyed yourself getting away from the rat race . Fantastic x

[@MiscMitz]

I love camping in the rain. Keeps all the weekenders away. Being alone really helps you to slow down and reflect on things

[@joekelly9369]

Yeah perfect day in the mountains .. awesome stuff Becks. Funny how you get on with the stuff we call bad weather and midges south of the border , it all just melds into days you wouldnt swap for anything , get out the (skin so soft ) i found a spot and stayed for months . It was just - right .. you might get that , most people dont ..keep up the good stuff Becks always a pleasure . Youl always get good water around the edge of sea loch's after rain , look for natural run offs

[@jayspot4]

You’ve become one of my favourite vlogger- we literally have the same equipment! From the packraft (except mine is forest green) paddle, backpack and almost the same pfd! Look forward to every new episode and thoroughly enjoy each one- thank you Becky for sharing your awesome adventures! Love from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 😘👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍

few things, your voice is so calming mixed with the sounds of the things around you. i dig how you just throw your hair up to get it out the way, shows youre real gorgeous scenery great series this was

[@davereckoning9530]

Hi Becky and Everyone, Having used more traditional canoes for journeys in Scotland (The Tay, The Great Glen and others), my usual canoeing style is using a single-blade paddle and kneeling (which I find more comfortable), rather than sitting. I'm inspired by your travels to look at getting a packraft for use on future journeys, and I wonder if you could advise how viable it would be to kneel and use a single-blade paddle in a packraft, and particularly with the Alpacka Caribou? Many thanks for any views or advice. And a big "thank you" to you Becky, for your videos and journeys - One Life, Live it, Girl!

Lovely trip Becky. Such a beautiful area you showed us. I loved seeing the mist rolling in, so moody. Just your luck that you found the freshwater river towards the end! 😂 At least you'll know for next time. Thanks for a lovely series Becky.

Well done Becky you knew, it was at 21:00 min it was a sachcwat you were brave and clever be careful of them though they can be dangerous! I've seen a few of them and lots of different dinosaurs I've lost count! Again well done. Be careful out there because they have eaten people!

[@christianjimbomb8204]

If you go to Alaska you have to give yourself enough time . It is a giant place. Very wild. Yes watch out for the bears and moose. and you think Scotland's got biting insects you should go to Alaska Take care

[@barriereid9244]

The beauty of a dry suit is that one stays dry. I spent three days last year during my two months on the Clyde Fjord wearing and sleeping in my suit because it poured from the heavens, streams and rivers in spate. It was all I could do to cook using my folding umbrella. Everything stayed in my kayak hatches.

[@captfeijoa]

Loved everything about this series! Big thank you Becky, your content is so wholesome, I became a big fan over the last year. I'm excited to get my two Girl Outdoors hoodies, should be on the way right now. Sending hugs from New Zealand! ♡

[@jayhickman2436]

Absolutely lovely scenery, and love the remoteness of that place. I can see why you didn't want to leave. Hope you get to take your trip to Alaska some day. Just keep in mind that there is a lot more, bigger and sometimes aggressive wildlife to deal with there. So some type of protection is advisable. But this and all the videos you have done on this trip were spectacular. Can't wait for the next one. Stay safe and healthy.

You are one tough lady, smiling at the camera and making light of the fact that two ticks have taken up residence in your inner thigh. If that were me I would have put down that camera and grabbed that casstrom neck knife. Soon after two things would have been true that weren’t true when I started. First there would have been no ticks shacking up in my epidermis and second, my thigh would have looked like a well used fire drill board. I like those two robust lads that were fishing. It looks like their maggots are mixed with tomato sauce; we know where those maggots were going if the fish did not bite. You punched out a really good video GO.
