Hello everyone,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
In this episode we head north to Loch Arkaig where we spend a few nights enjoying the calm conditions on the loch. The fog was a bit heavy after the first day so we stayed by the car for most of our time on the loch. We were lucky enough to spot a pair of sea eagles and either a young eagle or a golden eagle perched in a tree, I found out later that there were both nesting sea and golden eagles on the loch this year and there is an eagle viewing hut on the south shore in the hills.
Thanks for watching and stay tuned for part 2,
All the best for the new year,
Ben.

Love your videos! Always giving me inspiration! And costing me a fortune on new equipment 🤣 after that video I was looking at fjallraven jackets ha ! Keep up the amazing work
Cheers! Once you start looking a Fjallraven jackets there's no way back 😂👍
Beer reviews from 28:35 onwards deserve their own channel! Lovely video.
Nice production and appreciate you and Trish sharing your camping trip. Your fortunate to have a partner that is willing to participate in the camping trips. Cheers from the States 😎😊
Really enjoyed watching that and what you both got up to, Thanks for sharing.
I haven't hot tent canoe camped for a long time. I love the amount of space and the fact you can warm up your tent, cook and chill during the cold days and evenings. I have an old Moskotelkatan Arran 5 and a Kifaru stove that's been stored away for the last ten years. Your lovely wee film has inspired me to dust them both off and put them into good use again. Looking forward to watching your next upload, cheers Fred
Cheers Fred, I'd definitely get your hot tent gear out. The kifaru box stoves are cool, I think they were the original collapsible stove and probably still the best. 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors They probably were as I don't recall coming across any others that were collapsible back in the early 00's. There's so many to choose from these days and I'm amazed by the various types of hot tents available in UK.
Thanks for another great video. Hope you have a great new year, and some great adventures. All the best Mally
Really enjoy your videos especially the canoeing ones.
Happy new year to you both and keep the videos coming in 2022.
Lovely video@channel,have a amazing 2022! and stay safe debs xx
Along Loch Arkaig... one of my favourite places in Scotland. Drove along the small road on the motorbike to the parking place at the end of the Loch.(Last October). Thanks for the beautiful pictures and bringing back the memories... All the best for the New Year.Best regards from Belgium.
Health and happiness to you both look forward to the new year 👍👍🏴
Cheers Kevin 👍
Great video, great time to be up there i bet. Beer reviews get better and better!
Thanks mate 🍺
Awesome show thanks
Hi Ben / Tris Happy new year to you both ! Not much to say except I absolutely love your videos! You have a really good honest approach. And you take us to amazing places... and I'm rambling as usual ! Cheers guys !
Cheers Martyn! All the best 👍
Hi Ben & Tris, HYN to you both and thanks for posting this video of peace and tranquility to see us into the new year. Look forward to part 2. All the best, Paul 🙏🏻
Cheers Paul 👍
Great video mate. Glad you got some clear weather
I’m a massive fan of Canadian canoes 🛶 and hot tents. ( my little girl came in and went we do that dad lol)
Loving the north water spray deck. ( very Jim Baird) great in our crappy rainy climate I bet.
Tiny burn holes part of the hot tent experience lolz. Tear aid, clear tape is what you need. Invisible tougher than original tent. Avoid pine wood spits and the resin will gum your flu up.
Atb & happy new year to you & your mrs 🤙
Cheers mate! It was an enjoyable trip, I'll definitely have to tape the tent up a bit for the next trip 😂👍. All the best 🍻
Hello Ben and Tris Happy New Year to you both hope your having a wonderful time out in the wilderness in Scotland .
Hi ben & tris happy new year 👌 loved the relaxed pace of this paddle n camp 🛶👍 shame about the burn holes as you've only just bought it 😟 looking forward to part 2 🥂👍
Cheers Martin 👍
LMAO "what a time to be alive" awesome...
Really enjoyed that. Great pace and great production. I start to forget sometimes you’re filming this, a sure sign it’s well done if a viewer starts to think he is there on the lake.
Thanks mate 👍
Yes a goldens do have the white patch at base of tail.
Another great video, that Loch looks fantastic. When hot tenting I use the tentipi Safir or the red tent company Baker tent no problems with sparks. If you ever want to try them I own a private woodland near a great journeying river. Have a great New Year.
Thanks Kevin . I think canvas tents are much better, they just weigh a lot more than these new nylon tents, I think I'll eventually end up with a Tentipi......just need to start saving up! Atb 👍
Sweet :)
Happy New Year to both of you. Great content, enjoying sharing your camp. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to video what you are doing. G
Thanks mate 👍
Something about mist and fog on the water that I really love. Don't want to venture too far into it as you may encounter the Jabberwocky . Brilliant seeing the eaglesz They're magnificent birds aren't they? Hope the burn holes in the tent don't get any worse, anything you can do to the spark arrestor to help with that? Looking forward to the next part. Cheers!
The Jabberwocky 😂, not sure what I can do about the spark arrestor, I reckon I'll just have to carry some of that tenacious tape with me and continually patch the tent. I hope your not getting sunburned in your part of the world mate! Atb 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors It's been lovely here the last week or so, 21c on average, lovely :-) There is a video on the spark arrestor issue where a fella has a mod for it and it seems to work well. Not sure if i can link here but the title is, Spark Arrestor Mod for a Camping Wood Burner Stove Chimney/Flue. Could maybe try that? He uses some really fine mesh and a metal ring and all looks good. Cheers, stay safe!
Cool video as always👍
Thanks mate 👍
To avoid condensation, damp inside, moisture etc you have to use canvas tents or at least cotton inner. The downside of course is weight, drying etc but still superior to the plastics, vinyls, nylons etc. Some tents are a mix with the nylons being the greater content, but not as good. I take my hat off to backpackers who use nylon in winter, then keep all vents open to avoid a soaking and have the wind howling through! 😊
All best for 22, nice vid and lovely scenery 👍
Thanks mate! We do have a 4m canvas bell tent; no issues with condensation but I reckon it would sink the canoe 😂. Atb 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors 🤣🤣🤣
Hi folks argaig is an amazing place it's a pity you didn't get a chance to visit invermally bothie it's on the far side of the loch.
Hi Harry, we camped on the same shore as Invermallie bothy during our summer canoe trip. I had no idea it was there but noticed lots of lights going back and forth during the night and we could hear voices until the early hours, I wondered what was going on! 😂. Next time I'm up that way I'll check it out 👍.
Hi Ben I used to look after it but the party and the Bucky brigade took over and that was enough for me.
Great video !!! Many amazing trips In new Year and many happy returns !!!
Thanks mate 👍
Always a cheery viewing time "The Fog of Death: The Mist of Doom... on a lighter note, this beer's nice" Absolutely brilliant! Then some nice happy viewing for the night too... Death Zone!
I will be watching that soon though, sounds brilliant.
Great stuff as always and a Happy New Year good sir. I look forward to seeing more outings this year.
On another note, what is this "Schnazzle Dazzle" and "Szhnizzle Dizzle" that you speak of.
Thanks mate! Ahh the beer review, I think the cold was getting to me 😂. I see you have a new channel, I'll go and check it out. All the best mate, I hope it's a year of adventures 👍
Ah yeah, @@Adventure-Outdoors I've basically moved all my bushcraft outings onto their own channel. I wanted to separate the hillwalking from it so my that's what that's all about.
When will part two of your Christmas-canoe-fog-of-doom adventure be out?
@@asobushcraft nice one, hopefully I'll get part 2 up tonight, the fog of doom followed us up to Glen Affric 😂.
Happy New Year, wishing you safe travels, always an inch of water under your keel and an inch of air under the diffs😉. As always, beautifully composed video, I'm still trying to get the hang of it.
I hope to see you guys out and about with the Hilux, that is of course, we can leave that crazy pandemic behind us...
All the best & cheers from Switzerland🍻
Arend
Thanks mate, hopefully we can get back out in the truck this year if the dust settles. All the best 👍
Looking good there mate another great video as usual. The weather is mad! 24c here in Spain on Christmas day!
Well that was a mixed bag, eagles and body parts hahaha. I think the Spanish would be muy contento with your estofado although the purists might gripe a bit.
Beautiful scenery there with or without the mist.
Enjoy yourselves and looking forward to Part 2.
Happy New Year to both of you.
Thanks Paul, aye it's way too mild even up here in the north of England, nowhere near 24c though! Atb mate 👍
Happy new year to you both….great video. I paddle a 16 prospector I use a voyager grey owl paddle but i know it gets a touch cold out on the water & when it does like you said it’s difficult to build body heat so what I do is switch to a double blade paddle & put in a bit of a shift for 10 minutes it works great..I know it’s not conventional with a canoe & the paddle isn’t all that efficient it can be a bit awkward although it does work & it does get you a bit of a heat 😁
Thanks mate. Yeah I use a double blade paddle with my 12ft pack canoe; it's definitely more of a work out! 👍
Thx for this video and have a shnissle dissle (???) 2022!
😂 Cheers mate 👍
Very happy boading river
Simply wonderful. Did you have to import the canoe deck cover or is there a place to get them over here in the UK?
Thanks! Yes I had to get it shipped over from Canada, it's a great addition to the canoe though, worth every penny 👍
Great video, going to sub, what brand is that cool smock you have!!! Never been to Scotland, maybe one day!!!
Thanks for the sub, I appreciate it 👍. The smock is by Fjallraven, it’s a ‘Gutulia’ smock which is now discontinued unfortunately, but they have updated versions available. Scotland is one of the finest countries on earth, I hope you get to visit one day!
@@Adventure-Outdoors Alas Fjallraven, unavailable here in Southern Africa. One of the best brands out there I believe.
Hi Ben, I've just come across you and I've subscribed, very enjoying video. Is that a Fjallraven Anorak you are wearing 15 minutes into the video? I checked on their site but can't find it, it looks great!
Thanks Philip! Yes it's a Fjallraven 'Gutulia' anorak; it's excellent but unfortunately it was discontinued a few years back. I think it was succeeded by the Anorak No 8.
Thanks for your replay. That’s a pity Ben, but the No8 looks good also. Do you wax it?
Happy new year to you both!
@@getnoticedsigns Yeah the No8 looks great. In the video I had just waxed the jacket, it probably has about 4 coats of wax on it now so it's pretty water resistant. All the best! 👍
Lovely loch this one buddy, I really enjoyed my stay just recently there . I did want you paddle it but with me having my dog ended up leaving the canoe at home . Pleased you got to see the Eagles, I did see one on my stay, it flew directly at me from across the loch ..amazing sight ... possiblity a golden with the size of its wingspan . How did you get on with your new stove mate ? At the moment for me it's about the best option with it having a solid flue, I'm trying to avoid the role up type if I can but still keep things light weight . Nice video again mate ...really enjoy it 🤙🤙
Thanks mate. The stove was great! Much better than the frontier stove, I didn't once get any smoke in the tent at all as it draws really well. The downside is that it has buckled a fair amount now but it assembles back together fine; some people reckon the fact that it buckles could increase the risk of gasses escaping but I had a carbon dioxide detector next to the stove and everything was fine. The flu can be an arse to take apart but a subscriber told me to apply some high temp. copper grease to the ends which I'm going to do soon.
Some of the Polomy stoves look good, what put me off though was the prospect of having to pay extra VAT etc. as they come from the US. Hope that helps mate 👍
If you decide to buy the stove, the dealer for the UK is canvastentshop.co.uk, I used a 5% discount code from Kent Survival which worked, the code is - KENTSURVIVAL 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors Brill thanks for the reply mate. Pleased to hear it performed well ...I think all titanium stoves get a little out of shape from what iv read ...so a much of a muchness I guess . Yes Pomoly have my attention too, they look brilliant but without the nesting flue im being pushed towards the Winnerwell ....and like you say the other neg is the extra cost unfortunately.
Thanks for the heads up on the D.code and the flue pipe tip mate, I'll definitely keep that in mind, I have some copper grease ready to go 😂
Ps. Looking forward to that next chapter ... atb Marc 😉
What is the anorak you're wearing?
It's a Fjallraven Gutulia anorak, it's a bit ancient now mate and they don't make them anymore. I think the updated version is called the 'Singi' anorak. 👍
No snowpeak mug mention... Disappointing! 🍻
😂👍
