SOLO WILD CAMPING STRUGGLES! | One Of My Hardest Wild Camping Trips!

On This trip I was taking by surprise on what I found to be a fairly difficult hiking route. I visited two Murno Peaks and one smaller top on a 22km route!

Beautiful scenery Gaz getting out in nature so good for our mental health too . Thank you for sharing

[@GazTheExplorer]

Thanks Debbie and I agree! Sometimes hard to get motivated for a camp but I’ll admit it’s helped my health over the last year when I’ve been out. ATB

[@LordHays]

I love your videos, Gaz. The way you chat and present the scenery etc really makes it feel like we’re all there with you. Your efforts are much appreciated, mate.

[@GazTheExplorer]

Thanks for watching. Always nice to show Scotlands scenery and happy that you enjoy watching. ATB Gaz

23:30 - Haha, my wife lost her phone while running through long grass once, and it was on silent. Man that was a pain. So anytime I am out in the wild now, notification sound is switched on but if I'm alone I turn the alarms on too in case I don't get any notifications and cannot call myself.

[@stonechat8123]

Ah, the two curses of UK outdoor life, Midges and Ticks! hats off to you for sticking it out🦟

[@GazTheExplorer]

Really looking forward to planning camps without the midges again. Ticks have been annoying this year too. Worth sticking it out for the views. Nice to chill out for the evening too. ATB Gaz

[@pshearduk]

A great effort Gaz, take it easy amigo

[@GazTheExplorer]

Cheers Paul. Did take a lot of effort for this trip. Always enjoyable though. ATB Gaz

[@dlite1972]

23:14 this had me checking my phone in complete confusion 😂

[@GazTheExplorer]

Even when I was editing this video I thought it was my phone going off in the room. Completely forgot about my phone going off on that specific clip. My idea of not losing the phone will probably help eventually. Thanks for watching, ATB Gaz

[@suszh8981]

Another great vid Gaz, the scenery is awesome, sorry to hear that you struggled a bit on this one, but you still managed to remain upbeat I commend you for carrying on with the damned midges, I really hate them.

[@GazTheExplorer]

Thanks Susz, great scenery for this camp and the Bridge of Orchy is always worth the drive. Thankfully the midges were only about for the first hour of the evening and the wind picked up enough. I really hate them too. ATB Gaz

[@nickywhyte4238]

The thing about the wind, canny live with it and canny live without it 😂. Another nice vid, raw and honest good work as always 👏

[@GazTheExplorer]

That’s true Nicky. Summer is as good as useless when the weather is like this. Thanks for watching Nicky, ATB Gaz

[@ervinslens]

Brilliant video bud, this looks amazing!

[@GazTheExplorer]

Cheers, the camping views were amazing. ATB Gaz

[@grahamscothern4319]

Stunning spot Gaz Without the Rain!🤦‍♂️ Cheers Graham

[@GazTheExplorer]

Thanks Graham, shame about the rain in the morning. ATB Gaz

[@fraserconnell21]

Great vid buddy😊. Put yourself ahead of all others! Great films brother 😊

[@GazTheExplorer]

Cheers Fraser! More videos to come. ATB Gaz.

[@MrSparkies]

Nice views and video again... You really need to try the Hotpack meals, save you carrying water for boiling the Wayfayer stuff.

[@GazTheExplorer]

Thanks Martyn, I’m sure someone has mentioned those hotpack meals before. I’m slowly heading in the direction of making my own meals likes I’ve done in previous wild camps. ATB Gaz

[@rooksfoot1184]

One of them camps that is better "looking back at it".. than it is "doing it" Nice one Cheers for the vid

[@GazTheExplorer]

Bang on with that pal. Actually enjoyed watching this video back now that I’ve finally edited it. Was impressed with the Lochan down below so maybe a revisit to the area for a winter camp. ATB Gaz

[@Kev_Russ]

Nice spot Gaz. I enjoyed these 2, but aye like your, took me by surprise. A long walk between the 2. Never looks that long oan the map 😁

[@GazTheExplorer]

The walk back from Beinn a’Chreachain was a long one too. I’m sure combining the 5 Munros in the area would be tough. ATB Gaz

[@paulstubbs1843]

😁 It’s amazing what you can lose in a one man tent isn’t it? New subscriber 👍

[@GazTheExplorer]

Yeah you’re Correct there Paul. I always lose stuff inside the tent but when it comes to the phone and wallet it is a nightmare. Thanks for subscribing to the channel. More to come throughout the winter especially. ATB Gaz

[@paulstubbs1843]

@@GazTheExplorer please check out my first wildcamp video... Its only a short one 👍 i generally just keep my card and a small amount of cash in my emergency bag.

[@robertmiller914]

Yaaaasssss

[@GazTheExplorer]

Cheers, ATB Gaz

[@leemorrison55]

Superb Gaz as always. F@&£ing midgies 😩😩 fair play to you. I’d have been off at first sighting of them 🤣🤣👍🏻👋👏

[@GazTheExplorer]

Thanks Lee, had a lot of camps that have not worked out over the years. Glad I managed to make something out of this trip. ATB Gaz

[@beaubrent]

For the other foreigners like me: "Munros are defined as Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet (914.4 m) in height, and which are on the Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") official list of Munros"

[@GazTheExplorer]

Good information and will probably help someone. Thanks, ATB Gaz

[@johnpatterson5744]

Aye me and the dog had to bail from the Galloway forest last week.first day was great,next morning midges 🦟 where out in their gazillions.stroll on autumn,winter and spring for camping.👍

[@GazTheExplorer]

I usually avoid low level camps at this time of the year to avoid disappointment and distractions with the midges. Only had one serious encounter with the midges at Geldie Lodge roughly this time last year and I’ll try not to repeat it. I agree with you, roll on the winter months for the camping. Thanks for watching, ATB Gaz
