Thanks for your videos. They make me dream....
I've heard that Germany has very few Wilderness, i had little money and lived in pretty civilized mountains in France in my youth, in order to be in nature i didn't look for distance walked but elevation, even if there were habitations in both valleys around a mountain range there were nobody on the top half of the mountains, no trails, not a a human soul, so i hiked up there, made camp and walked along the crests, it was a game sometimes to cross a road without being seen or wait for nightfall to traverse a small mountain village to go camp on the other mountain across the valley, it became a game to stalk people, i started doing this at 12yo and had so much fun i fancied myself the spirit of the mountain. You can easily walk 10km a day in rolling hills, hiking 1-2 km elevation will take you as much time and tire you much more if you go off trail and challenge yourself.
I grew up in the south of England, a little west of Brighton. At night, there was no dark sky for miles around. This was before the South Downs National Park was established. The farmland is beautiful with its softly rolling hills and there were some preserved uncultivated spots, but nothing as big as what you get in Scotland.
Best video ever.!!! The sight of you scrambling after that wee trout was priceless!!! On a more serious note.. we cannot help but feel concern for you.. it is not good for man to be alone.. and.. Maybe it’s the haunting Lord of the Rings music.. Maybe it is the painful sight of your battered bare feet.. Or maybe the sigh as you awakened., unsure of which day it was.. These things made us cry😭 On the other hand,. Watching you frolic above and beneath the water in the lake.. made our hearts sing.. And as we too have eaten trout.. and salmon.. only a few hours after we caught them.. we can appreciate your relish in eating them., and that you thanked those fish for feeding you.. that touched our souls.. Your videos are unique.. they are one on one with life.. We love them.. and you.. so much Tom.. May you go exploring.. and frolicking in the sea.. happy as any seal could be.. May you do this forever.. We end in our thought for you in Scottish Gaelic.. Tha Thu as fhearr, Tom… Slan mo charaid..💜💙
Man what I wouldn’t give to live like this. It’d be fun just to go out on a camping trip with this guy just talkin bout history and swapping stories and survival skills
Wow!! What could be more satisfying than fresh caught fish on the bank of a shimmering pocket Lach amidst miles of sweet adventure wanderings. Your videos inspire me to much Tom!
I just subscribed for one reason, a TH-camr that fished, all my outdoor, van life, adventure channel's always by great fishing spots , and not a fishing pole anywhere. .. great video will be watching the past videos to catch up..
Tom, this was an incredible journey to go on with you! The scenery was breathtaking and so very peaceful!! I definitely can see myself becoming a bog dwelling golem if I was out there!!!! Keep up the great work my friend!!
By the way, I really liked your video about the wooden candles and the wrought iron fish oil lamps. I'm going to try and reproduce that lamp design with coke cans or something similar. Wish me luck 🤣 I don't have a forge, and I really want to use material more readily available around the house
Never heard of 3 flies on one line. Dad taught me when I was young. Va, USA, we have plenty of trout streams and rivers, he'll, and lakes. Thank you for the lesson my friend. I'll have to try that. God bless us all.
I you search up "shearing moccasins" you should find readily available shoes of a similar design to the traditional highlander shoes. Shearing moccasins are worn by sheep shearers in order to allow them to move across the boards they work on.
Fantastic trek! I'm always inspired by your videos. It brought me great amusement to see you had built modified Roy-Croft like the oneI've been using. The only difference is I made mine with a net instead of a hazel shelf. You do the Highlanders proud.
Hi from New Zealand great to see the real Scotland as a Camper all my life i enjoy your Channel great work this is the only way i will see the real highlands ...would be keen to know as a fly fisherman the Name /breed of the Trout ...Cheers!!
on the fishing kit, mentioned around minute 4... if you want something closer to the historical experience of fishing "with an Angle", to use a term from a medieval tract on the style, I might suggest looking at some of the Japanese fixed line fly fishing styles, such as Tenkara.
I don't remember who was using it, but you can use cold amber from fire to blacken areas around the eyes or mud to ease a bit of sunshine on your eyes (you can say kind of shades).🙂
Do you carry portable soup to improve your dishes? It is the one food that improoves jerked meat or pemmican to better level. If you could add bone broth, it would be a very healty meal.
I know it's not necessarily quite the same thing as you're doing here, but your tangent about salt and lemon for the trout is definitely making me wonder about highlander cooking, and also cooking while travelling/what they would have with them for seasoning or flavouring or whatever else I know there are letters from Roman soldiers stationed in Scotland asking their families to send them more black pepper, though of course that's a bit different in many ways!
I love the way that although you keep to as much traditional equipment as you can you will use modern stuff ie fishing rod n stove forgot to say if you travelled back in time to when most people dressed and lived like this they would wear the sunglasses use the rod n cooker without a secound thought like the native Canadians n Americans who took to using steel pots metal knives cool blankets so no worruesztere
Instead of having a dedicated blanket would a cloak perhaps work as both a blanket with the kilt as a bivvy or even a ruana? I think both would be “period.” Just a thought.
You know what's unreliable? Weather. Those blue skies are regular Manitoba. Weird for Scotland, i',m sure. Oddly enough, warm weather will also drive the trout out of the streams.
Stravaig. To stride in english I guess. In swedish it is to "ströva". Might be a language connection there. Loved this video. It's so true that the mind needs to take a break sometimes and just reboot in nature.
Hey, I wanted to ask your opinion on something that is bothering me. I was told by a couple Scottish citizens that I was not Scottish despite my heritage, my family is descendants of Lachlan a Scion of the House of Lorne (Clan Macdougall). We founded the town of B.C. Banks of Nova Scotia on Cape Breton Island (It's made up of highlanders) after we were forced out of Scotland during the Highland Clearances. Despite all this and the fact I literally live in a place that's called New Scotland, most Scottish people I have talked to said I am not Scottish and never would be even if I moved there.
Do you find that with the tip of the backpack frame up that you may be getting lower back pain? That would be because much of the weight is low on your back. If so you may want to flip that upside down and have that weight high on your back. That should alleviate any low back pain. That may require a slight alteration to the frame. TY for the video and your efforts for us.
I’m wondering if this depends on which puberty you went through (in which case your observations are most applicable to those with typically male skeletal development). Studies have found that people with typically female-developed skeletons are better off carrying a larger proportion of the weight they’re carrying on their hips as opposed to their shoulders, especially compared to people with male-developed skeletons.
@@ragnkja Funny, back in the day there was no such differentiation. We were just told high on the back. I've followed that rule ever since. Thanks for the update. Had no idea there was more to it.
I spent over 30 years on the road. The latter 20 I had been attempting to go all natural if not all archaic. But you're right, there's some aspects you just need water and equipment for because of modern times. Ironically. A camp stove, water filtration, and frankly... Ziplocs. Those things are gold.
@@guillaumekeulen219parasites and bacteria have been around forever. Most water can be consumed by simply boiling for a period of time. If you don't boil then filter.
depends on where you live.. youd be surprised how many water ways and lakes in europe and across the world are so poluted with chemicals and heavy metals that the government itself says you shouldnt drink it not boiled nor any other way
My grandmother taught me fly fishing. She gave me my grandfather's bamboo fly rod that he made as he had passed when I was 3. Something so simple can have a lifetime of good memories. Keep it simple.
Thanks for reminding me the title of the song! I heard a band play it in a pub in Inverness two days ago and it's been driving me insane trying to remember the song title!
The things you allow us to witness through this video but also your channel in general, it's really something... Some parts mean beyond words. Thank you !
Stravaig. I've been feeling that urge strongly myself of late ( or whatever the Welsh equivalent is anyway). Time to book some leave from work and get out there.
thank you for all the videos. theyre helping me and my family know our ancestors at long last. i appreciate that. salud from a dispersed druid in america! much respect to the video arts and ancient ways!
Reminds me so much of backpacking into Desolation Valley, Cal., as a young guy. As you mentioned, after one week it gets into your bones and you don’t want to go back to the burbs. Wonderful. Thanks👍
Always a pleasure watching your videos. I'll be going on a hiking and backpacking vacation in Skye this August and I just can't wait to get there. Though I'll be taking modern equipment, I find your approach to equipment and the simplicity of your setup inspiring. Last year, I got into bushcrafting, and I find the concept of being in nature and living with and off nature with just the most necessary items incredibly satisfying and fulfilling. In fact, thanks to your videos, I've tried to find something suitable for a kilt to try out hiking in one and using it as my blanket/shelter. Still no luck, but maybe I'll find something while I'm in Scotland.
I just learned the other day that the Scottish highlands were once part of the Appalachian mountain range.. I'm sure I've heard about this before, but knowing me, I just forgot.. But I found this exciting since most of my Scottish and Irish ancestors that came here to America in the late 17th century, actually ended up settling in the Appalachian mountains, mostly in a region that would become part of southeast KY, northeast TN and southwest VA..
I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE! I definitely recognise that big hill, ive been there a few times, pretty sure i been to a couple of the smaller lochs you went to after too Im gonna keep eye out for you when i go wandering out the hills now
Another outstanding video. Would be good to see you take a group of people on a trek, why wearing traditional clothing and equipment. Then their view of how hard it was lol
A piece of woven cloth over your eyes would give you a similar effect to sunglasses. The tighter the weave the more shade (but also the brighter the conditions required to be able to see). The Inuit/Eskimo thing were usually made of bone, not wood, and were to protect against glare from the snow/ice rather than direct sunlight.
Amazing video as always! I'm surprised, having worn great kilts before, that over-heating wasn't a significant issue that you faced considering how constantly bright and sunny the weather seemed to be for you.
Fun fact: the Jacobites were not just Scot’s but also French and even Lancastrian with one of the biggest Jacobite regiments being the Manchester regiment.

You Scots, Welsh and Brits are so blessed to have these beautiful free open wilds in your awesome countries. Here in Germany we don´t have such areas. You don´t find a place here where you don´t find sign of civilization within a 5km radius. And even if we had them they would be over regulated so you could be thankful if you could just walk there. Thanks for your videos. They make me dream....
I've heard that Germany has very few Wilderness, i had little money and lived in pretty civilized mountains in France in my youth, in order to be in nature i didn't look for distance walked but elevation, even if there were habitations in both valleys around a mountain range there were nobody on the top half of the mountains, no trails, not a a human soul, so i hiked up there, made camp and walked along the crests, it was a game sometimes to cross a road without being seen or wait for nightfall to traverse a small mountain village to go camp on the other mountain across the valley, it became a game to stalk people, i started doing this at 12yo and had so much fun i fancied myself the spirit of the mountain.
You can easily walk 10km a day in rolling hills, hiking 1-2 km elevation will take you as much time and tire you much more if you go off trail and challenge yourself.
Na mate it’s not how your thinking, Germany is far more sparsely populated. The hartz mountains and elm forest is lovely
"Brits"?
Time to move.
I grew up in the south of England, a little west of Brighton. At night, there was no dark sky for miles around. This was before the South Downs National Park was established. The farmland is beautiful with its softly rolling hills and there were some preserved uncultivated spots, but nothing as big as what you get in Scotland.
Best video ever.!!! The sight of you scrambling after that wee trout was priceless!!!
On a more serious note.. we cannot help but feel concern for you.. it is not good for man to be alone.. and..
Maybe it’s the haunting Lord of the Rings music..
Maybe it is the painful sight of your battered bare feet..
Or maybe the sigh as you awakened., unsure of which day it was..
These things made us cry😭
On the other hand,.
Watching you frolic above and beneath the water in the lake.. made our hearts sing..
And as we too have eaten trout.. and salmon.. only a few hours after we caught them.. we can appreciate your relish in eating them., and that you thanked those fish for feeding you.. that touched our souls..
Your videos are unique.. they are one on one with life..
We love them.. and you.. so much Tom..
May you go exploring.. and frolicking in the sea.. happy as any seal could be.. May you do this forever..
We end in our thought for you in Scottish Gaelic..
Tha Thu as fhearr, Tom…
Slan mo charaid..💜💙
I can't think of an episode that I've enjoyed more. This was Tom F.D. at his storytelling finest.
Man what I wouldn’t give to live like this. It’d be fun just to go out on a camping trip with this guy just talkin bout history and swapping stories and survival skills
"The bog is my oyster." This is a quote for the ages, friends. ❤
Your videos with the quiet music are sensational. I like your touch with the land and lakes. Many thx, makes my morning watching this.
Interesting! Stravaig. I believe Australians call it "going walkabout." If its not exactly the same, it is certainly similar.
Wow!! What could be more satisfying than fresh caught fish on the bank of a shimmering pocket Lach amidst miles of sweet adventure wanderings. Your videos inspire me to much Tom!
The brown trout looks awesome. Nice pack also. ❤ the video.
Man the land looks gorgeous
Love your videos, your channel and all your teachings. Great work! ❤

Hello from Minnesota...my distant relatives were from Jura, so I feel a kind of connection to you! Great videos, and ciao!

Brilliant stuff
Love it
Cracking content
I love the kit
Lovely trip bro 👌
Nice video!
well done!
Fantastic mate another brilliant video.. keep them coming 👍
My mother used that all the time in reference to me be out and about as a kid lol
Hello my friend,,,greetings from Indonesia___❤
Thanks again for your work
the preview looked like a video game. also i get wanderlust too
Love the Content, Hope the Algorithm picks this one up as it is a must watch!❤

LOTR music at the end got me

Balance aside, a fish in the pan is good. Tickle the fish.
Bringing the Sheepskin made a maaa-sive difference LOL😮

If you used a photography drone, you could stop, and fly it back to yourself instead of walking both directions. It might be a lot more efficient.
Haven't done the complete historical gear thing, but I've only carried a roycroft frame pack for almost a decade.
What’s the brand of shoes you wore in this video? This was very enjoyable:)
no slant on your video , but it made me very sadI. Im in nz but want to go home 1 year to go . subscribed

And don’t think I didn’t recognize the lord of the rings theme with the flute at the end. Love your videos dude 😂
Absolutely beautiful countryside. Really fun to watch, keep this up!
Scotland is a beautiful place to wander especially a lone trip like this one, nicely done.

Thanks for reminding me the title of the song! I heard a band play it in a pub in Inverness two days ago and it's been driving me insane trying to remember the song title!
very touching the way you thank the fish, and the ground you sleep on. we all need to be grateful, always.

That was wonderful. Serine. Calming yet energetic. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Most enjoyable.
Hello from Detroit Michigan brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure through the moors
Love the rendition of wild mountain thyme

The landscapes are magnificent ! You must feel so free when you travel there.
Thank you for bringing us along I am currently healing up from a quadruple bypass surgery and I can’t wait to get back to the outdoors
Reminds me so much of backpacking into Desolation Valley, Cal., as a young guy. As you mentioned, after one week it gets into your bones and you don’t want to go back to the burbs. Wonderful. Thanks👍
