Winter Camping and How to Behave Outdoors

[@catherinegowan1362]

Beautiful video again. Thanks for. A very hot perth 35c

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thank you Catherine, makes me sweat just thinking about 35c!

[@Adventuristic89]

Wonderful looking spot bud. I sometimes carry a wee fire brick from the shops & stick it in the firebox just for the vibe. Dreamy looking river. 👌👌

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching! That's a good idea 👍

[@cookievan7639]

Another amazing video, good job. It looks beautiful up there I can’t wait to visit. And thank you for recommending the rewild podcast I’ll give it a listen. But thank you again for uploading such a great video and I can’t believe how far the Chanel has come, well done.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for the continued support, really does make a difference. Feshie is definitely one of my favourite spots up here. Hope you enjoy the podcast 👍

[@muffinman2889]

Enjoying your videos mate 👍 like the info you share keep it up 😎

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thank you, really appreciate that 😁👍

Thank you Anthony 😁👍

[@haggishunteroutdoors]

Good video mate I'm hoping to get up that way this year for a camp. That's a cracking location ATB. Sam

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for watching, appreciate it! Hope you manage to get a visit up here 👍

[@mattsmindfulmeals5981]

Did you see any badgers, I saw a few last time I was there even a ginger one, honest!

[@HighlandWoodsman]

I can't tell if you are winding me up or not 😂

[@mattsmindfulmeals5981]

@@HighlandWoodsman nope I’m not, being honest. There’s a few around Rothiemurcas too

[@HighlandWoodsman]

There is definitely plenty of diggable ground in Feshie from the movement of the river wouldn't be surprised if there are quite a few in there!

[@pawoutdoors9290]

Beautiful scenery. Great film. Lucky you don’t get off road vehicle damage their. In our area it’s a disgrace what they do to the ground.

[@pawoutdoors9290]

There. Not their. Ugh.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

We do have issues in other areas but there's only really one way into Feshie for vehicles and it's right through the estate grounds 😂 I don't think you would get very far! Thanks for watching.

[@RootsLion]

ok Q the keyring thermometer thingy got a link? n coudla shown it chukle

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for watching, it's the Coghlan's Zipper Pull Thermometer

[@RootsLion]

@@HighlandWoodsman ta will look

[@mcready]

Is there a website/forum with recommendations for camping spots?

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Do you mean just in general in Scotland? I'm sure there must be but I don't use them. Maybe the WalkHighlands website?

[@keeperofthegood]

Leaving no trace is well overblown into the realms of Gary and Karen. The better approach is just not sweat it. Pack it in pack it out best you can sure, but don't take before and after photos and think you are going to make yourself as if you never were (like those silly people of the Dark Ages that many people today WISH they left a trace) or just leave it laying around like the other 150,000 years of human history. I am always reminded of an episode of Time Team where they were able to uncover a fire pit made and used by a single party of people all of one time ~10,000 years ago. The sadder reality of peoples lives today, turn the power off and they stop existing. No writings, no paintings, no great works remain once the battery runs out. This video, your conversation, your expressions all vanish when youtube goes dark. "Great Great Grandpa was an outdoorsman but we dont know what he looked like I think he was blond with blue eyes like your mom and at least 5 feet tall like your sister."

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for watching 👍 I think I understand where you are coming from, I'm pretty sure with a bit of knowledge and common sense we could leave a respectful trace.

[@keeperofthegood]

@@HighlandWoodsman Exactly! Respect your space and enjoy it. I grew up on hike trails here, our big one is called the Bruce Trail. It is very sad to see tires and chairs and empty bottles/cans etc dumped in our natural spaces (heck, our cities have that in streets bad too). I have no issues with fire pit rings or with stumps cut for chairs etc, those really don't matter. There is even traditions of leaving a stack of cut wood at a place you camped for the next person that will camp there, its considered a respectful sharing.

[@danieltoalmedia]

How’s the fishing on the River Feshie and do you know if you need a permit to fish it?

[@HighlandWoodsman]

I'll be honest I'm not a fisherman but I've heard it's pretty good for trout and improving for salmon. I think fishing is restricted to guests of the estate but don't quote me on it 👍

[@danieltoalmedia]

@@HighlandWoodsman I had a feeling it could be private fishing, looks too good to be free! Thanks for replying though. I’m really enjoying your videos, looking forward to the next one 👍🏼

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thank you Daniel, appreciate that 👍

[@edpikestone6800]

I think I need to get to Glen Feshie. Great video. That said I think I will stop watching your channel as my 4yo daughter said that you are good looking! There will be less of that before there is more! 😅

[@HighlandWoodsman]

😂 thanks as always Ed 👍
