- TOUR OF SCOTLAND
My car camp set up for my shorter tours where I sleep solo. For longer expeditions I add my roof tent. Simple is always best and least complicated especially when you are clever with your storage.

We have used the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
Always a good thing too have peace and happiness in our lives, I enjoy my single and freedom and peace nothing like it. Enjoy your holiday. Looking forward too another great video.
Definitely! We all need to try find happier things in life👊
Ah Grieg’s ‘Morning’ - lovely piece of drone footage editing at the close of the video after a night on The Cobbler, Al.
Glorious piece of music particularly when those strings kick in. Always makes me well up.👍
Yes I just thought I’d add a taster at the end for the next video. 👍👍👍
I grew up right underneath the cobbler, and climbed it many times as a child. Good to see another generation enjoying the beauty of Scotland.
It’s an amazing place. Lucky you as a kid👍
I am very impressed with the setup in your car. Love to watch your videos with your lovely dog.
Top video Al. Your energy leaks out. Always full of love and light mate. Looking forward to seeing your week away.
😊 thanks
Looking forward for what’s to come!
We were on the isle of Arran when this came out, had a fantastic time camping for 10 days, woke up to a river in the tent one day, 50mph winds on another, had a morning covered in snow, dolphins and a submarine on yet another day. It's an amazing journey going up to Scotland this time of year. Looking forward to this mini-series.
Wow sounds the perfect adventure mate! Well done for 10 days.
Oh wow 👌 brilliant video I loved it and can't wait for the next episode ! Drone footage and music nearly made me cry was beautiful thank you, roll on the next
Thanks Jane. Don’t cry though it’s all happiness from my channel😬😬😬
Tidy set up, I am now embarrassed as I have just thrown bags of stuff in the van and driven off on my way to the lakes. It a shambles. Looking forward to a mini adventure of my own. Looking forward to the next one Al cheers Chris
😂 it is hard keeping organised at the best of times but it’s about keeping calm and not getting frustrated by it all. You always lose something in your car 😂
Nice to see another video from Blue and his sidekick 😀
😂😂😂
Yay, you're back, you lucky so and so, we were once camped under Ben Nevis, never did it cos we couldn't see it, cloud and fog at ground level!!!!!
Yes I did Ben Nevis whilst there in pretty dire conditions. Many attempted and had to turn back that day although they were dangerously underprepared
Yes, ome people just don't think of the consequences, we always consider the mountain rescue guys before we ever attempt anything!!!l
Yes another good one looks like a beautiful location take care on the Cobbler xxx
The cobbler was ace😬👊
Just cheered me up mate,looking forward to watching this trip,something to look forward to, off to a fantastic start,what a place to be, take care bushman and blue can’t wait for next video,hope the weather good for you both 👍👍
Thanks pal. Weather was good at times and bad on others but still brilliant to be out. 👍
Cool looking place. Nice setup of the car too. I love seeing the places you and Blue take us to see. 🙂
Hopefully I’ll keep showing many more😬
Looks beautiful hope you and blue had the best time welcome back to utube keep on trucking 🤗
Yes it was awesome trip. Hopefully some good vids to come👍
What a great surprise. Happy to see you and Blue again.
Just a warm up😉
Great vid fantastic setup in your car & breathtaking views be safe on those Scottish mountains.
Wow what a way to start off a trip beautiful scenery Scotland looks very nice. Look forward to seeing the rest of your trip Al 👍 that drone footage of you on the that peak was epic. Be safe my friend ✌️
Cheers mate. I’m hoping I’ll have some good vids for you 😉👍👍👍
Great video, Love the LRD, great setup. Stunning location.
How Beautiful… love the music choices you make Al. Many thanks for your wonderful films.
Thanks Tracy 😊
Been watching your channel and a few others that do the camping thing. You are doing it right. The other channels have dropped off my list and keep coming back to see your best mate, Blue! He makes this channel exceptional with his absolute love of the these adventures with you. Keep making the rest of us jealous of the freedom you are sharing.
Thanks Jeff much appreciated. I’m hoping to keep the content interesting and Blue definitely is the star😬
Love the set up, and it goes to show you haven't got to spend a fortune to get out and enjoy yourself. I must admit that up until you showed the front seat i thought that was incredibly tidy how you had it set up. Then when I saw the front seat it reminded me of my car, stuff everywhere. Really like the idea of the shelf, maybe a drop down shelf attachment for a laptop/tv facing you would be the icing on the cake. All the best Mally
Exactly mate just a bit of thinking can make a vehicle change into a functional camper. The shelf with the boxes definitely keeps things tidy ish😂
Nice setup maybe weld a bar to hold the boxes in place, just in case you have a crash or have to slam on the brakes!
They are wedged in and held by the L section rails. I made it all a nice tight for too👍
You're right there Craig!
All those boxes need to be properly strapped and secured. They can turn into nasty objects if they hit the back of a person's head. Not enough to just wedge them in. In a previous job I've seen how deadly things in the back of any vehicle can be in event of an accident and sudden catastrophic deceleration of said vehicle.
You just get it right every time Al, I'm running out of accolades! 😅 Here's the best one.... #no1youtuber 👏👍
😂😂😂 I’ll take that hashtag. Cheers mate!
Quality stuff as always, can't wait for the rest... Stay safe
Cheers pal. So,e good videos to come😉
good choice of music at end , good basic sleeping set up.
Scotland is the place for adventure. My very first Scottish mountain was the Cobbler, back in 1978. Looking forward to the next episode already 🙂
The year I was born😂. Cracking place! The video should be good 👍
Great set up in the Disco! Who needs a campervan! Enjoy Scotland. Closet I've been is Cumbria!
Scotland is stunning! It always delivers the wow👍
That is tranquility right there in Scotland. Nice simple car set up and you are absolutely correct when you say life is short. Be safe you and Blue.
Thanks mate👊
Hi Bushman hope you had a great time up the cobbler. The water you were sitting at is Loch Long. I live near there its a stunning place the road is the whistle field. Thank you was lovely to see this. Well done for your you tubes. Love them.
Thanks! Yes not a bad place to live😬. So much adventure in the area👌
We’re here for only a speck of time. Beautiful words my brother.
Totally true though👍👍👍
Just when I think my video editing skills are getting better, I watch yours and I'm like 🤯
Car camper looks good too!
ATB 👩&🐕
😂just stick at it. I just enjoy making those sections into a piece of art. Thanks😊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE what do you use to edit pls?
LumaFusion. It’s good but I have nothing to compare it with. I also have problems with it as it consumes the memory of your device.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE thanks Al I will check it out! Upgrading my recording gear soon, stay tuned for better vids 😁👩&🐕
Nice set up Al, happy travels atb
Great stuff Al . Fantastic man 👍⛺️🥾🍻
That was an epic drone fly-around the Cobbler. It added a wonderful final few minutes to the video.
I have been exploring wild regions and living in my BMW X5 almost full-time the past 3-years, and love it. Your setup is almost exactly the same as mine, with the split tailgate and Rab sleeping bag permanently on air mattress (Kampa Wideboy 12cm and Outwell Dreamcatcher XL 12cm, so 24cm depth of comfort!). I haven't made a seperate shelf like yours, but the X5 has its own large retractable parcel shelf that I use to store lighter stuff. With no 🐕 dog, it provides me with bags of more room along one side for BMW fridge cooler and food plus other gear, including space on passenger seat and footwells.
On the subject of 🔋 battery power, I use the EcoFlow River power-station, which is fantastic and fully charges in only one hour! To keep it recharged all year, I use two portable 120W & 150W folding solar panels.
Great lifestyle being able to move around and enjoy many places. I love the Ecoflow batteries and have a couple (delta max and delta mini) which are awesome. I can’t fault them👍
This is going to be a fun trip fo me too. Thank you for taking me along. 🙋🏻♀️🇺🇸
Enjoy it all👍👌
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Oh wow, I loved it. Thanks again. 🙋🏻♀️🇺🇸
Hey man we got up to the summit after we saw you coming down... blues paw prints helped guide the way in the snow haha!
Yes mate Matt said. I’m well glad you two made it up after 2 attempts. It was terrible conditions and those footprints would definitely have helped. Nice meeting you both and I’m sure we will meet again👊
Great set up with the car. Just love Scotland.
Yes the car works pretty well. Ideally I’ll get a cheaper to run van and do the same. 👍
Your doggy is beautiful.
The Dark skies footage takes your work to a different level, so enjoy your videos. Live in Inverness, planning a few days wild camping in my Vitara in August.
Cant wait for the peace and quiet away from the Mrs😆
😂 enjoy the peace
Thanks B & B for lifting my mood this morning in rainy Cornwall! Looking forward to seeing how things go. Enjoy👍👍👍👍👍
Wow it’s clear sunshine here in Yorkshire. I’m glad I can lift moods😊. Have a lovely day
You and Blue are so awesome and I love all your videos. You are real. Beautiful sceneries. Be safe you two......Sandy
Awwwww thanks Sandy
Looking forward to the next few vids Alan.
Im ill at the moment so nothing doing apart from youtube and the odd purchace. Good setup of landy.
👍
Thanks mate. Hopefully you’ll be better soon and back out there with your new gear😉
You got it all right mate. Loving life with Blue. Love your videos, can tell you spend loads of time on them. Thanks for sharing. Serk
Thanks buddy I’m trying😉👍
So fun, here across the pond in the US my wife and I explore the remote places as well. It's a beautiful planet, you get that. Which makes you and Blue such good animals. We are older, but not old enough to quit our explorations!
Brilliant Steve. The video with my dad shows that you can still adventure regardless of age 👍
Just caught my wife tapping the can before opening the beer! Great set up, have a great week.
😂it’s spreading.
Not long since stumbled across your channel, quality videos pal
Welcome mate👊. Glad you’re enjoying the videos 👍👍👍
It's so beautiful different place. Wow u drove long way four hours and good things u enjoy doing that with blue! It's wonderful seeing you smile see different place with beautiful lakes surrounding. And thank you for showing me how u do that in ur truck that helps me if I ever need drive long way and sleep in a car etc. Thks :)
Thanks. Worth the drive as you’ll see in my next videos. 👌
Great footage Al' I'm glad that you are not spending the whole trip sleeping in the van.
I had one night in a B and B 😂. Cheers Terry!
wind deflectors bud! can crack a window a little bit for sleeping ventilation, rain wont leak in and adds a cool look to the disco 🤘 happy camping. cool set up anyone can achieve
Yes I always think I’d get some but never get round to it. Perfect for it👍👍👍
Great video mate, looks a lovely area with amazing views, the car set up looks spot on....and that drone footage at the end was class, very atmospheric 👍 look forward to the next one...
Thanks buddy. The next videos hopefully will be good😬
Scotland for a week AWESOME. Great set up
That drone shott at the end was awesome 👌
Cheers pal👊
I did my winter mountaineering course in scotland with the army a few years back, snow holing etc i cant wait to go back and do it all again when i get out next year. Get yourself up to the cairngorms its fantastic in the winter. Looking forward to the next video.
Yes the Cairngorms definitely hold the snow better than everywhere else. 👍
Awesome again mate. Look forward to the rest of the trip x
Lovely setup Bushman, but you could have removed the passenger seat to give you even more room. 😀
Love your work Al. A well deserved break I'm sure. Nice to see the Big Dipper star constilation for a change. Suprised you didnt throw the mountain bike on top!!!!! Enjoy and look forward to your next edit!!!!
Cheers Heath! Yes I enjoyed the break but back to the norm and vids to edit etc. A live soon mate😉. The bike would have been good 👍.
Brilliant....looking forward to seeing what you get up to next...we climbed the cobbler a few years ago...gutted to find out we did the lower of the two tops..maybe get back there one day
Yes I did both but you couldn’t see one from the other when I first got there.
There are 3. South Peak, North Peak and Centre Peak (where you thread the needle).
That’s definitely a good idea to put something in to restrain those boxes in case you do a hard stop.
I haven’t been home to Scotland since the pandemic. Nice to visit vicariously
They fit tightly (as I made it) but the seat headrests stop any forward movement. The following videos show some epic parts of Scotland 👍
Awesome set up. Can't wait to see the cobbler vid, looks beauty!
If you keep the Disco, there are some great interior storage nets and thermal window blinds available. "Get that boot lock sorted. LOL"
Yes I’ve a good storage set for the back of one of the seats and I’ve nearly bought the thermal window covers a few times. Generally though I’m in the roof tent👍
You've been up there 2 minutes and already camped at 2 iconic places! Looking forward to all the videos that come from this trip🏞😀🤘
Yes and the Ben Nevis one will be pretty cool👊
Nice, simple setup. Love it. I'm 187cm (6'2") and struggle to sleep in a car. I've had an Outlander and a Honda CR-V, it was pretty cramped to say the least.
I’m fine in that straight out at 6ft but I wouldn’t want it any smaller. I could put the seats forward though👍
There's nowt like the first day of a trip like that. 7 long days of whatever you want! Looking forward to the video(s).
Nice bit of Grieg at the end too, capped off perfectly with Sunshine Jill! Great stuff.
I use the full Grieg music in the next video 👌
New subscriber just discovered your videos so now I'm watching them all back and growing up in Scotland looking forward to seeing mountains i did when I was young best of luck
Welcome my friend👍👍👍
Nice long asss drive, very scenic!!! I did it the other week, stayed at the Ben Nevis Inn Bunkhouse was nice!! Climbed Ben Nevis via the CMD arête route, fair old slog but worth the amazing views!!
That video is coming up😉. Exactly that route.
A very interesting and informative vid. Like the car set up. You’ve really got that comfortable and well organised.
Cheers. It does work quite well considering the simplicity of it.
Glad to see you got a new drone 👍
Fattrucker
Alan that ending with the classical music was Epic.2 weeks until my first wild camp of the year,can’t wait.4 days around High street,Ullswater and Thirlmere.
Sounds awesome mate!!! Enjoy.
Iam off to Scotland on Monday 😁
Absolutely brilliant video
Amazing footage ✌
Glad to see you up in our neck of the woods ..The Arrochar Alps are so amazing 😁✊🏻⛰ …The Cobbler (Ben Arthur) is amazing.Great drone footage of you on top of the needle pinnacle 😍Enjoy bro😁👍
Cheers
Robert
Yes Sundays video shows it all so well! Such an amazing camp out up there!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Nice one mate 😁👍
Did I hear Grieg's 'Morning Mood'? And the lovely Jill at the end? Looks fab already - can't wait to watch!
Yes and well done for noticing the hill audio. I just loved that moment with her and blue😊
Absolutely Epic.
Excellent very talented man.
Great vid
Love the idea with the shelf as no center support 😊
Great vid 👍 some setup that vehicle ! Id be absolutely shitting house bricks stood on top of that rock, terrified of heights.
Enjoy the trip Scotland 🏴 is beautiful
It is a bit of a scramble up there with some scary drops all round. Cheers Howard 👍
another excellent video mate absolutely loved it. Nice one 😊👍
Nice work Al! A free week!! I know about the weather, I was in Snowdonia last week and it went from 18° to - something!
Yes it was lovely to have time to go where the wind blows me😉👊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE loved the set up in the landy to!
Super interesting video on your set up it looks spot on. jealous of the week in Scotland. Can’t wait for the next videos 👍🏻
Hopefully on Sunday 😬
Awesome vid as always love the shelf spent many a year in Scotland.
Great video as always guys !
What a great setup, very envious! Perhaps one day! Loving the videos.
It was very cheap to set up especially compared to a camper.
Outstanding Al!!👍👏👏👏👏
Love the intro tune
Great to see your van setup - it's much better organised than my camper car! That end sequence of the Cobbler summit camp is pure magic, though it must have been a chilly night. I've climbed it five times and have still not made it to the "true summit"... next time though!
The next video shows the cobbler in all it’s glory👊
Damn Al I wanted another 30 mins haha.. glad you got the drone sorted out mate.. looking forward to the next episode
I never sorted it I had to buy another 😭. I’m hoping the old one can still be fixed though
@@BUSHMANandBLUE ah never mate, well hopefully you can get it fixed..
Really lovely video. It is great to see the world through a different perspective 👌Looking forward to seeing new vlogs on your channel👌
Thanks mate👍
Definitely feeling that metal shelf for my landy!!
Yes mate it’s a perfect design👌
I tried to get up the Cobbler in 1998 ,but the mist came down the path disappeared so had to turn back.
Yes the weather can be a deal breaker in a mountain. Worth another walk up mate👍
Looks amazing
Great video, really like your car set up, looks comfortable aswell. This time last year I was well into preparing for the West Highland way which I did in May 21,
Great trip and adventure 👍👍👍
Wow,, epic adventure & very inspiring. it’s made me want to kit my Mini Cooper out & take off on my next annual leave somewhere with my schnauzer. I’m only 5 ft tall so maybe it’s doable for a small lady & dog. Life’s for living!
Might just be long enough with the seat forward 👍
Nice to see a man drinking whole milk instead of the rubbish most pretending to enjoy these days. Class as always bud.
I wouldn’t have anything else. My dad thinks it’s water though as he drinks it straight from the cow. 😂
Epic mate - so looking forward to the rest of your Scottish adventure👍
Cheers pal👍
Oh gee, you did it again, another top gun do-it-yourself (DIY) invention; bet you can customize the metal tray/shelf to fit any car. I'd be your friend if I live on your side of the pond. You should consider posting things you make and selling them as you make them. You don't know what life will bring and you'll get more hits when you throw a wider net. You could design for outdoor manufacturing companies on a part time basis. Who knows the world is open to imagination like yours. I would use some tie downs for the boxes just in case of a very steep down hill or hit from the back--you don't want anything flying to the front where you and Blue are. Thanks. P.S.S. We love to see you make things too--gives you a break if you don't and can't do an outdoor--mix it up--sewing the sleeping mat for Blue, making your knives, your tent--my goodness, if you want to pick your nose, we'll tune in. :) Your life, talent, capability is above the structured usual mate. Your entire life is very interesting--love to see a video just on you working with Blue.
Wow Thanks my friend 😊. I definitely could do many videos on my projects and yes I have a plethora of designs in my head for many scenarios. My aim is to design my own tent and have it made 😉. I have a pretty good idea that hasn’t been done yet.
👍👍👍
Brilliant. Great setup in your car. Looking forward to the next video. You mentioned freedom a lot. Freedom from the Mrs? Bliss! LOL. Hope you and Blue had a great week. 👍🏴
😂😂😂 Brilliant!!! something like that😂. Cheers mate.
