Winter Camping | Hot Tent | Scottish Highlands

[@moniqueb.1534]

You had a great time in the forest, no people around, enjoying the silence and the atmosphere...fantastic! 👌

[@HighlandWoodsman]

It was a really nice time, thanks so much for watching :)

[@barcacampnou7850]

Supberb video Darach l enjoyed it very much, as someone who suffers badly from mental health problems this kind of video just calms me down, l am also suffering and l do mean suffering from self believe. l lived in the same Flat in Aberdeen for 26 years and for the last 18 months l haven't been able to function at all, it got so bad l did some mad things really stupid things too embarrassing to mention there was so so many. Just in the last 3 days l decided l couldn't take it anymore so l decided to just go to Inverurie to get away from what l consider the madness that Aberdeen has become. l tried asking a local Newton Dee place if l could stay there but was refused, l think due to my age, l'll be 60 on Saturday this week, but could also be because someone at Newton Dee pat a long resident, l thought l was consoling him but the look this young man , who resides at Newton Dee was something to behold. l am getting help from Support Staff, they have been a real God send, don't know what l would have done without them probably not be here to write this down. l find it really theraputic to get it off my chest, hope l haven't bored everyone to tears getting my baggage off my back

[@HighlandWoodsman]

You haven't bored anyone at all, and I really appreciate your comment! When I started all this video making I didn't really think it would make an impact or that any one would watch. But over the last couple of years I've had quite a few messages saying my videos help to relax or it's like a nice escape for their mind. Never thought that would be the case but it's always nice to hear from those people and gives me encouragement to keep making them.

We love the way the dog thinks such a task as putting up a tent is nothing but FUN!🐶

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for watching Ian 👍

[@stuartdurning4236]

Very nice video mate,noticed the tree you cut down which you said was dead actually was not,hence the green needles,but i would have done the same,good work mate

[@HighlandWoodsman]

I can assure you it was very much dead. The greenish colour you can see is the lichen on the branches. Thanks for watching 👍

[@ingogerlach7176]

Thank you for this Video.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thank you for watching 😁

[@robbiesoutdooradventures9]

Great video I enjoyed this . I want to do exactly what your doing. It looks so peacefull.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks Robbie, you should try it if you can 😄👍

[@TranceHeed]

Brilliant. I need to get my arse out and do some wild camping! Love these videos. Also from Scotland here.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for watching 😁👍 longer days and better weather (maybe) soon will make it easier!

[@stefanoutside]

Hi Sam, a brilliant Hot Tent Overnighter in the dreamlike winter forest. I think your dog didn't really want to get out of the warm car at first 😂😂 I'm looking forward to more videos from you. Best regards Stefan

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much Stefan! He will always follow me if I have food 🤣 Thanks so much for watching!

California, this is going to be sooooio nice!

[@HighlandWoodsman]

😁👍

[@davebrown9707]

This looks amazing iv been looking into hot tent camping but other than a farmer I know there is no were around here to do it. I'll have to get my bearings on the farmers land and then come up to the Highlands for a holiday.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Would definitely recommend it Dave!

[@gerardjones7881]

I thought a hot tent is over kill but then saw that its scotland...in winter. I live north of the bay of fundy but a winter trip in scotland was brutal.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

I can get a bit chilly here from time to time 😄👍

[@JeongTranquil]

Nice video x

[@catherinegowan1362]

Really enjoyed your adventure. From a very hot +40c Perth West Australia

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching Catherine! I've never experienced weather that hot 😁

[@DarioFerrari23]

Brilliant video! Great wee set up you had going on there, can I ask where you bought that stove?

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for watching Dario, the stove is from 3F UL Gear 👍

[@Wildbert]

Awsome Adventure Bro🤯🤯🤯

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@offtheplanetagain]

Hey mate saw your video, loved it...where did you get your pack down wood burner? That bit of kit looks great...cheers.

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Hey! Thanks for watching! This is the tribe 2.0 woodstove from 3F UL Gear. It's a Chinese company and it felt like a good deal at the time but it hasn't really lasted as well as I'd hoped. Quite alot of warping and the weld on the spark arrestor inside has failed. So I wouldn't recommend not buying it but I would recommend spending a bit more for some quality if you know what I mean.

[@offtheplanetagain]

@@HighlandWoodsman apreciate you getting back to me thank you fir the info.

[@nicholashughes8214]

The dog is looking out at the cold wet snow and thinking how come we never get to do tenting videos in Fiji or Tahiti ??

[@HighlandWoodsman]

😂 don't think either of us would handle the heat very well

[@AlexMcGrottyPhotographyandFilm]

Awesome vid. Can I ask, how much weight are you carrying? I’m guessing quite a bit with the stove etc which is what puts me off buying this kind of setup for multi day hikes, but it also looked like you trekked for quite a while with it all to your chosen site so maybe not as heavy as it looks?

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Hi Alex, thanks for watching. I think I was carrying about 13kg here which is everything apart from food. I didn't actually walk too far just a couple of km. Yeah I'm not sure I would go for this setup for multiple days on the move but it is entirely possible. I guess if I was somewhere with actual winter I might reconsider but not worth it in the UK. But I supposed if I was somewhere with a proper winter I would probably be able to use a sledge for gear 👍

[@gt3972]

Looks brilliant what tent do you have mate ?

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for watching! This is the SmokeyHut from OneTigris 👍

[@cookievan7639]

Awesome vid, absolutely fantastic. But I was wondering what the name of that foldable wood stove you used in your tent. Love the channel btw

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching! The stove is the Folding Tribe Wood Stove 2.0 from 3F UL Gear 😁👍

[@dot.J678]

Just starting to watch your posts as you mix bushcraft and hiking, which I both love, especially in Sweden. Only camped at the Höga Kusten, such an amazing place. What sort of mat are you using for starting your fire? Enjoy creating your posts, I’ll continue watching them!

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks again 😄 the mat I'm using is a little helper from Hultsfors. Works really well especially in wet weather!

[@meghlaa]

Great video... refreshing! Which stove do you use?

[@HighlandWoodsman]

This stove is from 3F UL Gear. It's been ok but I would recommend it. It hasn't lasted very well, lots of warping. I'm hoping to buy a polmoly stove this winter 😄

[@meghlaa]

Thanks for responding!

[@DaveDoesOutdoors]

Nice one mate - good to see you on the tube I gave you a shout out on my last vid ( still to be uploaded ) Keep putting them up - although a lot of work is involved . Hope the snow comes soon!! Atb 👍🏽

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching Dave and for the shout out, I'll look forward to watching. It is a lot of work and I have much respect for you guys that have been doing for sometime but I do enjoy being creative too! Cheers!

[@Woodlanders]

Nice video budy 🔥🔥😁

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for watching! 😁

[@nobob268]

Is this a good tent? I have no idea which one to get. Might make a tipi from cheap tarps

[@HighlandWoodsman]

It's not a bad tent for the price but it does suffer with condensation as the vents aren't the best especially when used as a hot tent.

[@staffbullchris]

Hello Sam my friend a very successful Walden time 🌲🔥🏕 Greetings Chris 👊

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much for watching Chris! 😀👍

[@MrWiLDAPEMAN]

Great channel, really enjoying your videos. Is that the ridgeline balistic hoodie you are wearing?

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks so much Rory. It's definitely Ridgeline 😄 Ballistic Hoodie sounds right but I can't quite remember sorry.

[@rumpelstiltskin9729]

What tent is that? It’s not on your gear list

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Hi this is the Smokey Hut from OneTigris but they don't appear to make them any more.

[@SuzanTisdaleCheekyWench]

Love this video. Quick question: why do you not lay a tarp down on the ground inside the tent?

[@HighlandWoodsman]

Thanks for watching Suzan! I guess I just haven't found a need for it. As you are coming in and out it tends to get wet and muddy and just becomes a hassle. I do have a small footprint under my sleep system though to protect it and keep it dry 😊

[@rjf-p5l]

Absolutely loved this vid. THE DOG lol what’s his name?

Unlike England with its draconian law's Scottish law's mean you can wild camp all year round?so I'm lead to believe?
