Solo Wild Camp | Forest | Winter

[@GeoffGreenawayOutdoors]

Nice one Fraser. I see nothing wrong with the footage mate, I get sometimes you want to show off the place but me personally sometimes I like straight into the camping. Fair play for a doing a forest camp, I’ve only done one and still feel creeped out by it 😂. Keep going as long as you can 👍

[@cowalexplorer]

@@GeoffGreenawayOutdoors cheers mate. There were some strange noises in the woods. There’s a lot of wind blown trees about, heard a few small branches break, hope it was just movement, but wasn’t that windy 😂 Will see what the next few weeks bring. On standby next week so deffo no camping for me. 🥲

[@BryanFitzpatrick-vo4sj]

All good Fraz keep going man , why not ehh 🤙🤙🤙

[@cowalexplorer]

@@BryanFitzpatrick-vo4sj might need to take a street light with me ! 😂

[@RossInTheWild]

Great video! Just had that same twig stove for my birthday, too. Can wait to try it out 👍🏼.

[@cowalexplorer]

@@RossInTheWild cheers, get it lit. I’ve used fire logs a few times. Burn well and don’t spark. Can always add wood but a good starting point to get things going.

[@RossInTheWild]

@cowalexplorer I hope to when I've got bloody time 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️. Does seem a good bit of kit 👍🏼

[@cowalexplorer]

@@RossInTheWild gets filthy when using it , nightmare to pack away and keep its wee envelope clean. I’ve started to take lightweight gloves or kitchen roll to give it a clean. Nothing worse than soot 😂

[@RossInTheWild]

@cowalexplorer yeah I've heard it gets extremely sooty so I'll make sure to take my cow hide gloves with me because like you said, you don't want that soot going everywhere 👍🏼

[@DazzOutdoors-UK1]

Nice setup 👍 I have the same titanium stove & also have the Bobcat

[@cowalexplorer]

@@DazzOutdoors-UK1 thanks for watching. I really like the Bobcat, got it for 45 quid, used once. It’s been my go to tent for my short trips.

[@nigellack2576]

Ir's worth it. Carry on camping!

[@cowalexplorer]

@@nigellack2576 cheers. Think I’m gonna need better lighting ! The GoPro doesn’t like dusk , really need some light element to record without being grainy. I’ll do what I can. Thanks for watching 👍🍺

19:35 19:36 Yaaasss fraser didn't give up the Tues night camps lol. Good video as always. That first beer always goes down well, not as well as you on a bog though 😂 I think fireworks are a waste of money, and an unnecessary evil for a lot of pets. Not against an organised display but don't see the point in "domestic" fireworks. Keep the vids coming even if it's still in the dark, I enjoy seeing you around loch eck. It's one of my favourite places. Enjoyed that, cheers 👍🏻

[@cowalexplorer]

@@CraigLinton. cheers Craig. Was good to get out, just need to stay away from the forests 😂 definitely need some kind of view. Loch Eck has a lot to offer , love the place. Aye the fireworks are a nightmare , organised displays only. See someone was letting off fireworks at 8am this morning. Not fair on the animals. There also been a lost dog due to in bolting due to fireworks. Thanks shin for watching and comment 👍🍺

[@CraigLinton.]

@cowalexplorer that sucks, hope the owners find it soon. Poor thing must be bricking it

[@catherinewatt4394]

Think fireworks should only be used in displays and not for public sale. As for footage in the dark, those forests are dark during the day because the trees are so close, I know the area enough to imagine your surroundings and I'm stunned you managed to find somewhere flat enough to pitch a tent - well done on that alone 😂 and thanks for sharing your "micro adventure" 👍

[@cowalexplorer]

@@catherinewatt4394 thanks. Not many flat areas about here that are free of rock, tussocks or trees ! 😂 Aye, fireworks for organised displays only. thanks for watching.

[@haggishunteroutdoors]

Nice bit of forest there mate. It does get hard to record good content in the winter its good fpr getting star timelapse if the sky is clear

[@cowalexplorer]

@@haggishunteroutdoors next camp will be out in the open 😂 shoreside or summit.

[@thenoworriesnomad]

As always Fraser..👍👍

[@cowalexplorer]

@@thenoworriesnomad cheers for watching yet again. I’m out the now on a wee summit. Baltic but at least I can see something 😂

[@thenoworriesnomad]

@ LOL.. always like watching your videos mate, enjoy it..

[@Moffatmountainadventures]

It does get a touch uninspiring when your trying to think of places to go knowing it’s gonna be dark. I haven’t had one of them videos yet but it will be coming, I’ll listen to my own advice and say if it’s your free night for a camp just get out anyway. You know you’ll always feel better for it.

[@cowalexplorer]

@@Moffatmountainadventures cheers Robert. Think I’d still go out, it’s just the footage. Gonna look for a light for top of GoPro that’ll help with some in camp footage and perhaps an additional ground light for use about camp. The GoPro doesn’t like dusk or beyond unless subject/area is illuminated, ends up really grainy. On call for a week now, so no camping next week.

[@Moffatmountainadventures]

@ aye that’s a good shout. I’ve been using my head torch on the tripod when I want to be seen in the dark

[@cowalexplorer]

@ just been watching your premier there. What a morning you got.

[@Moffatmountainadventures]

@ tried to avoid using much music so you can capture the feels more but even still, it’s impossible to really get across what a morning that was

[@IvanDP1967]

"is it worth it?"..... If it benefits you then absolutely! The fact you bring us along too is a bonus. Keep doing what you enjoy, and we'll keep enjoying watching your videos 👍

[@cowalexplorer]

@@IvanDP1967 ah cheers, was just thinking that the darkness gives less content or gets boring. It’ll be hot tent season soon. Will upload as much as I can 👍 thanks for watching.

[@ervinslens]

Thumbnail is absolutely amazing my friend. Outstanding content 🔥🔥

[@cowalexplorer]

@@ervinslens cheers, the iPhone helps with the longer exposure, enhances the light. 👍

[@DazzOutdoors-UK1]

Just subbed u 👍

[@cowalexplorer]

@@DazzOutdoors-UK1 ah cheers, much appreciated 👍🍺

[@dpaterson710]

I for one still enjoyed the video. Keep doing them whatever way you can 👍

[@cowalexplorer]

@@dpaterson710 cheers. I’ll try my best, maybe just not in a forest 😂 Thanks for watching and commenting.
