West Coast of Scotland Wild Camp: Helm Compact 1 in wind and rain. #wildcamping #scotland
Another mid week break! Was a late start after eventually finishing work, picking up wife's car from garage and putting diesel in it !! No
talking in this one, was in too much of a hurry to set up before the rain started, which i almost did. Drone up in the morning once the weather improved, managed to dodge the showers.

Wild Camping in an unchecked £20 Charity Shop Tent in the wind and rain ! #wildcamping #scotland

Splashed out on a £20 unseen and unchecked charity shop tent. How bad could it be ? The wind and rain never helped ! Easy approach with the bike and also got the drone airborne in the morning. #scotland #wildcamping #contentcreator #campfire #forest #drone #dji

Another mid week wild camp. New location, new toy. Not remote by any standard but felt it ! Perfect pitch for a quick fix bit of camping. Used the Helm 1 compact again, really like it and it performed well in the rain. Good to capture some drone footage, will definitely be using it more in the future. #scotland #wildcamping #contentcreator #campfire #forest #drone #dji

Killing an hour or so waiting for the family. No better than a short hike and some drone flying ! Definitely one for a visit once the bracken id down.

A brief trial. Just checking out settings and seeing how they turn out, drone tracked well with some adjustments along the way. Did a wee walk too and a brief flight to re-visit the road I travelled.

My first flight, taking to the skies ! Boring to watch, but have to start somewhere. Maybe over the water wasn't the best idea on a narrow beach, but the drone made it back ! Didn't do the scenery justice !!

Nope...The footage and content was just fine, so keep doing what you're doing..👍👍
@@thenoworriesnomad cheers. Trying to make each camp slightly different 😂
Great wee buy 🤟🤟
@@BryanFitzpatrick-vo4sj that’ll be you soon then head down to Holy Loch 👍
@@cowalexplorer oooo yeee
Good work , looks good now ehh
@@BryanFitzpatrick-vo4sj aye. Never put it back on the pickup yet 😂
@@cowalexplorer great peace of kit , great idea especially if u lived somewhere that all the animals want to eat u
@@BryanFitzpatrick-vo4sj 😂
Brilliant fraser mate ive had that beach saved on google maps for awhile if its where i think it is. Good drone footage nice and chilled video i like it similar to my video that will be up on friday not really talking i like they type of videos. ATB mate. Sam
@@haggishunteroutdoors cheers Sam. I was late getting out and was gonna chuck it down, so I didn’t mess about too much. I did a few winter vids with no talking, just zoning in on the surroundings and set up. I was gonna make all vids without talking, but it’s good give a commentary and to share your thoughts…..sometimes 😂 See your on that FB page with Willie, give us a message on there, I posted on there earlier.
@@cowalexplorer i think im going to try out the no talking for a couple of vids. Yea im a moderator mate wullies a good mate of mine hes been a face in a couple of my videos. I will drop you a messege mate !!
@@haggishunteroutdoors I think the no talking ones can be better as you’re not telling folk what you’re doing if that makes sense, people don’t know what to expect. If there no talking it’s universal , ha. Deffo worth doing a mix of talking/ no talking. I was going to do one of those voice over things, but if I did it at the house it’s just be kids fighting in the background 😂
You have a good charity shop near by then 😅 I've an old tesco tent in the back yard I'm tempted to use for shits and giggles as they say 😂
@@BareBonesCamping there is plenty of charity shops here, the bigger ones and local cause ones. I’ve started checking ones in Ft William etc when I’m up, the outdoors capital. I remember years ago the Red Cross shop had a terra nova tent, but it was a big one, no use to me. Aye, get the bargain tent out. Worth it just to be different. Just subscribed to you channel. Will watch your bivi vid later.
@@cowalexplorer not so bad then, charity shops near me charging more than Primark 😅
Great video lad, very well filmed!
@@BareBonesCamping cheers. Wasn’t the best, pushed for time. Maybe no talking is the future 😂 Thanks for watching
Nice one av actually not been there before
@@BryanFitzpatrick-vo4sj whit, you must have been ! 😳
Brilliant mate, braw effort and stunning spot to camp. It is some beach. Will defo be back to camp one day 🤟
@@ScotlandandMe yet yourself down for an overnighter 👍🏕️
Nice one Fraser, the simple sights and sounds of camping, I love it. A big thumbs up for the steaks 👍. It looks a nice beach going by the drones.
@@GeoffGreenawayOutdoors cheers Geoff. Aye, no talking in this one. Was that late getting there I just got on with it. Let the scenery be the host 😂 Thankfully the weather window in morning let me get the drone up. It’s a great beach, the weather didn’t do it justice. The Isle of Arran is in the distance, not that you’d know it 😂👍
Our favourite beach! Always thought the group of trees to the left as you come onto the sand would be a good hammock spot but I see the house is now occupied again so perhaps a bit close? Thanks for another fab video
@@toottheterrible thanks for watching, aye that crop looks good for a hammock. I stayed as far away as possible. The first pitch I went to was windier so moved a wee bit along. In a hollow there so out of site. Got there about 7pm back at car for 7am.
Nutter😂
😂
I can't work out for the life of me where this is! I'm mainly talking about the wee abandoned shack. Would like to see it for myself. Is it over the bridge at Benmore then a right turn?
nice one 👍
@@toffee7247 need some practice, but at least it worked 👍
Love it mate, great video, sounds and music. Well put together 👏 keep on camping and lnt
@@Steve-Quinn-YC-GaSC cheers. I’ve been out a few times since. Not long till the winter gear is back out 👍❄️
@@cowalexplorer I can't wait for hot tenting again tbh
@@Steve-Quinn-YC-GaSC aye, summer has been a non event ! Hopefully get some nice clear calm nights in the winter. Maybe snow ❄️ 👍
@24:27 great again,,,,,,,but,,,,,,,,your poor bike alll alone with no cover !!!!
@@mattlast4093 that bike has seen worse. Loaded with coal for Bothy trips. Thrown down cliffs, left out in snow, dragged over hills 😂 Probably happy to get a wash.
@@cowalexplorer ohhh nooooo...poor bike ! give it a bath and a neck massage !!
@@mattlast4093 it’s needing replaced. Forks are pitted, brakes are knackered, despite new pads and rotors. 🥲
@1:30 what a GREAT location !!!
@@mattlast4093 one of my favourite spots and it’s local to me. Thanks for watching 👍
I still canny believe you got that from a charity shop. That’s a tidy wee tent. Our schools aren’t back for a few more days. Cracking spot that. I’ve got a couple of those style local pitches too. Handy to have them when you want a camp without drama
@@Moffatmountainadventures aye turned out ok. Mixed pegs, needs a wash and the wee hole on the door panel but survived the night of wind and rain. That’s my default spot, not too hard to get to, either by hike,bike or kayak. There’s a few good spots on the west side. Thanks for watching 👍 Cheers Fraser.
great video not a bad find for £20 great camp🙃
@@user-vk1kp6fp8d aye, it all worked out ok. Even the weather eventually! Thanks for watching again 👍
@@cowalexplorer always
998 now, only 2 to go Woop ! Drone adds Quality , those mountain forests it captured was awesome. Some mixed veg and a fried yoky egg 🥚 would of made that meal look rich 🤫
@@George-gg1ny thanks very much for watching, subscribing and your comment. Aye, the drone is great, ads another dimension and shows the surroundings so much better, new to flying so probably not the best footage. I don’t like eggs 😂 Thanks again, Cheers, Fraser.
Now Fraser eat those eggs all up or the Russian Orks will get you 🤣
Nice video and wild camp. Thank you for sharing 😊
@@NorwayHikesTrails thanks for your comment and watching. It’s one of my favourite spots, any weather, any season.
Superb wee camping spot, and well done getting out midweek, with work the next day!
@@nigellack2576 cheers and thanks for watching. Most of my nights are mid week, hardly sleep at the best of times so camping doesn’t make much difference 😂
I hardly sleep either so I need to get out camping more! Cheers
@@nigellack2576 aye, here to make time count, not count time. Get out, even the small adventures can be epic.
Mind we went up , even hit a trig 🤣🤟🤟🤟

@@BryanFitzpatrick-vo4sj it was the kids pocket money I was playing with 😂
Nice one, great wee tent for £20, like you say a good wee clean up and it’s a bargain. Brilliant going on the subscribers, up to 997 👍.
@@GeoffGreenawayOutdoors aye, couldn’t go wrong at £20. Need to get to 1000 just to upset my eldest daughter 😂 Thanks for tuning in again Geoff 👍 Cheers, Fraser.
@@cowalexplorer 😂 😂 all the best with that, always a good reason 😂.
@@GeoffGreenawayOutdoors she said I was too old for TH-cam, Then set me up a TikTok account 😂 Then she uses my account to buy makeup for TikTok shop 😂
wow, what part of scotland is this place located in? Is it Puck's Glen? I remember visiting it but I think I did the path in the opposite direction of the video.
@@MVMV69 yes, Pucks Glen. Have some other videos of the glen on my channel. 👍 Well spotted.
@@cowalexplorer Thanks for the info, I was looking at videos of places to camp and spend a few days in nature in Scotland and your channel came across me. I usually go on several camping trips a year, in regions like North America and South America and also in various areas of Siberia. I was looking for places where it wouldn't be too difficult to spend the night because a friend wants to come with me, but since it's a new experience for him I don't want it to be hard. Your videos have been very helpful to me, thanks!
@@MVMV69 that’s great to hear. I was just camping at Loch Eck last night. Just north of Pucks Glen 👍
Cool , merci pour ce bon moment..... Bonjour de France....
@@user-pt2zu2fj5d Je suis ravi que vous ayez apprécié la vidéo. Merci d'avoir regardé #googletranslate
@@cowalexplorer J'aime camper aussi et me retrouver seul en forêt pour communier avec la nature👍👍👍👍❤❤❤☺☺😀😀.....
Now I know what to do with mine. Given how respected the brand Karcher is, you would think they'd make their products a wee bit more reliable! Anyhow, thank you for the video. Absolute magic.
@@Fluteboy hopefully this is your issue and you can repair it cheaply. Seems a common fault going my the feedback and views of this video. Hope you’re back to washing soon.
Cracking spot mate, wheres that. Great shots with the drone, it just adds to the videos doesn't it. 🤟
@@ScotlandandMe aye. Really like the drone shots, keep forgetting to take photos as too busy bricking it I’ll ditch the drone. It’s near Portavadie, message me for more detail if you want 👍
