Definitely clickbait, it's still autumn. 😜 I'll watch this later Stripey. 😊
Hahaha, good one Robin 😂👍
Everything tastes better cooked and eaten outside stripey. Fantastic location again! Nice one.
Very true!
Brilliant winter camp,that curry and naan bread looked delicious 😊
Thank you very much Boardy!
Wow, great camp and a fine meal. The nan looked delicious.
Thanks a lot mate, mich appreciated 👍
Great video, really enjoyed this camp. It looked very cold!! Curry and hot naan breads looked lovely! Thanks - Ben
Thank you very much Ben! Yeah it was the perfect meal for a day in the cold 👍
I have been watching your videos for a few months, and have enjoyed your enthusiasm for the Scottish mountains. I too, enjoy walking , camping, bivvying and bothying. There are many more videos to watch, but I have noticed in a couple of recent ones that you consult weather applications. Perhaps you would mention in a future video those applications that you regard as particularly good for forecasting weather in the Scottish mountains. Best wishes Charles.
Thank you very much for the feedback! Was actually never really thinking of that and will definitely have a look how I can include it in the next outing 🙌👍
Nice one Stripey. Weather is pretty poor. Good idea to take hot water bottle. Nothing worse than cold feet. Atb.
Thanks a lot! Yeah it helps quite a lot to heat the sleeping back quicker up, needed to take it out later on as I got to warm 😏
That looked a chilly adventure Stripey. Fantastic effort preparing your curry and nan in these conditions. Next stop Masterchef! Great to see the snow returning. ATB Derek
Thank you very much Derek! You would laugh if I would tell you that I actually participated in a similar show in Germany like 10 years ago but I had to leave after the second round 😂😂😂
@@StripeyHatGuy I could tell you were an expert in the kitchen as well as wild camping! There must be a market there for wilderness cooking. I can see you getting book deal in the future or your own TV series. Much more interesting than the usual cooking programmes.👍
@@scottishclimber7630 hahaha thank you but I have already a job I like 😎👍
Looks like an amazing experience.
Hi Kevin, yeah was really nice. Hopefully we will get some proper snow this year 🤞👍
Thanks for watching!

Certainly Autumnal, get my vote for your Trangia one pot wonder and fresh naan bread, makes the boil in bag look boring, it occupies your times, mentally stimulating must be more tasty too.
If you don’t mind a flask, great for keeping water hot for a quick brew, early morning or breakfast to get some warm inside to fire the system off agn.
Great site you don’t always have to go high up or walk miles to enjoy an evening out in the hills.
Yes absolutely! Keeps you busy with a purpose 😂
Thanks a lot
Stripey
That meal looked awesome...... never mind it was done in the mountains on a Trangia! Well done. ATB
Thanks a lot! 😎🙌👍
Wish I knew more about this legend’s back story: what’s he doing in Scotland, what’s his background in climbing (seems pretty awesome), and where did he buy his stripey hat?
Thanks a lot, but I am by no means a proper mountaineer, neither a climber - just grew up close to the Alps/Member of the German Alp Association back in the days... The stripey hat is made by my wife like 9 or so years ago and I just like the feel of the wool. A funny story of the wool is that we actually bought it at the Bavarian Pumpkin Weight Championship 😂👍.
Hey Stripey 👋. So nice to see a snowy camp, landscape looked beautiful. Your dry stone wall looked great, I though you were going to keep building up a full wall 😂. Funny how you couldn’t wait to eat the fresh bread, too good to wait hey! Thanks for sharing Stripey. ATB Serk
Hi Serk👋,
Thanks a lot. Yeah I mean you need to try if the bread is ready 😂.
ATB Stripey
Excellent 👌 as always . I felt the chill - even sitting in front of my fire ! 😂
Thank you very much! By far the coldest moment was when I got some water from the Loch…took me ages to get warm hands again 😂
A great watch 🙏
Thank you very much 🙌👍
Super video! Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much! 🙌
Great vlog Stipey!!! Looked bloody chilly!🥶
Thanks a lot as always Allan!
ATB
Stripey
Awesome, thanks.
Thank you very much 😎👍
First time I've come across you and really enjoyed watching! The meal looked so tasty and was really impressed that you cooked it all up from scratch.
I had the same thoughts as others about the wall, and, after reading the comments, I came away further impressed in that you readily admitted that you didn't remove the wall, that it was a mistake in not doing so and a lesson learned. That is the sign of a humble fella.
Well done!
Thanks a lot for your nice words - much appreciated!
ATB Stripey
Sis hast Du gut gemacht ;-) Danke fuer das Video!!
Danke für das anschauen! ATB Stripey
I'm impressed you made fresh naan to go with your supper. It definitely looked like a good meal for a cold setting. You looked very comfortable, all things considered.
Thanks a lot! Making naan or in general bread is such an easy and comforting meal when warm, can highly recommend it when the tour doesn’t involve long ascents 👍
Thanks a lot for watching!
ATB Stripey
6.12 AM. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
@@PhilipCadey thank you very much!
I love going out in the hills, but I've never understood people who go out just to wild camp. And your wild camp looked particularly cold. Good on you though and for cooking such an elaborate meal. I just chuck hot water into a freeze dry meal.😂
Fair enough. Regarding the food, I dehydrate my own meals for proper hikes and wild camps but you can’t compare a dehydrated/freeze dried meal with a proper cooked meal 👍
@@StripeyHatGuy Agreed!
Hey stripey great vid as ever . Snow! Already! I’m ment to be going up to glenfinnan for a weeks camping next wk starting to regret it but I’m still going hopefully the wether holds out for me . Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you very much! Sounds great, just do a tour according to the weather and I am sure you will have a blast of a time 👍
ATB Stripey
Top work Stripey!
Thank you very much!
very nice video! Bravo
Thank you very much mate!
@@StripeyHatGuy this curry on the trangia....mmm, so delicious! I got hungry immediately! :) rock on!
@@BeTouring_Bulgaria 😊
Absolutely fantastic Stripey! You are actually more funny than I thought 😂😂😂
Cheers MaliceGla, appreciated.
Loving the flat breads and curry. Good effort. Not loving the draughty tent though! For me I’d be snuggled up in my Hilleberg but you’re a well experienced mountain man and can obviously tough it out. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks a lot! Oh I would love to own a hilleberg, don’t get me wrong on that 😂👍
Eh up Stripey, winter is here north of the border then mate. I was out in the Lake District today, not a flake there mate. Haha
Good to see you out with Murchie again.
All the best mate
Dave 😀⛰🥾🏴🏴🏕️
Thanks a lot Dave! Seems like that we are a bit ahead of you guys further down south 😎. Was definitely great to meet Robert again, really enjoy his company!
Thanks for watching as always,
ATB Stripey
I still don’t understand why you’re not using a sealed tent. By using that green plastic shelter, you’re exposed to all the wind coming in from the bottom, your heat escapes from the tent, and you had to build that mini rock wall to prevent the wind coming at you. A sealed tent would prevent all that and save you time.
I just prefer the space of the mld duomid, but yes soon it will be cold and time to swap the tent’s 👍
Nice video 👍
Thanks 👍
@@StripeyHatGuy 👍
lovely .... and inspiring
Another great vid mucker…. When you heading over the east side for a catch up 😉🙌
Cheers mate! Be careful what you wish for 😂and you let me know when you come to the west side 🙌👍
Great to see that winter is coming, that's such a great spot for camping. I really, really hope you dismantled that wall and spread the stones back out into the landscape afterwards, this is a fragile, wild place and you should always leave it the way you find it, not with new structures...
My thoughts exactly . Personally such a short distance from ski centre I would have taken a tent with sewn in groundsheet . That way no need to alter the environment and landscape . Surprised he didn't use his Tarptent Scarp 1 tent .
Sorry for the late reply, needed to have a think about it. Replied my thoughts and actions on Steve’s comment.
Thanks
Stripey
That looks super unpleasant conditions to camp in. Love your videos 👍
Thank you very much! I think it really depends on the gear you use, as long as you are not cold it is nice 😊.
@@StripeyHatGuy You’re doing a great job. Brilliant videos. I plan on getting involved in some winter camping this year. Looking at some quality bags, like the Rab Ascent range. Winter camping looks amazing with the right kit. Quite fancy the hot tents too.
Have no experience with Rab sleeping bags, but a lot of people like them. Hot tents are great as long as the fire burns…in the night it is still cold or you set the alarm every couple of hours but that is just my experience 😉.
Hello Stripey, it's great to see you back out again 🏕👍
Cheers guys very inspiring.
That shade of red you achieved is quite a shade of red
❤❤
Great camp spot and looking forward to heading out in the snow myself in near future. Atb
Thank you very much RS Outdoors. Is a great spot, even when it is so close to the parking lot , guess it will be really busy in winter with all the climbers - easy access to some great routes.

Looks pretty cold with the snow everywhere . You obviously have all the gear though.
Yeah it is definitely a winter wild camp, said this it is just late autumn in Scotland so I am sure it will get colder 👍
Brilliant... Snow , ice and no insects 👍😂
😂😂😂👍
I just got back from two weeks in the Bahamas - looks like it was cold while I was away! It's definitely the end of the camping season for me, but I'm very impressed that you were able to cook a meal like that in those temperatures.
Oh wow, have never been to the Bahamas but I bet it was fantastic 🙂.
ATB Stripey
@@StripeyHatGuy It was amazing. No hills though.
I wouldn’t swap the hills for the beach, but a beach for a couple of weeks, some snorkelling, … well I wouldn’t mind 😂
@@StripeyHatGuy Totally! 🏝
I liked your wall to reduce the wind & your meal looked so much better than the stuff that comes in bags, ugh I'd prefer a pot noodle!
I suppose you don't eat meat, but it being so cold a little meat would have made your meal more savoury & more hearty, don't you think at certain time's it's best to lay aside such principles?
I mean does a couple hundred grams of meat really matter in the grand scheme of the universe? Your nan bread was very tasty looking. I noticed no trees up there so no fire, what a pity, any fish in that lake do you think? I used to wear two hats in the winter so I was nicknamed obviously, "two hats". Look forward to your next outing,I'm a subscribed viewer.
Thanks a lot Mr. Two hats 😂 I am actually no vegetarian at all, I just promised last time that I would do a vegetarian meal but I need to admit it was really good 😊.
I am not sure about fish in the Loch, haven’t really tried fishing in my life - but I can cook them 👍. Forest’s or woods are in Scotland more or less not available, and when you see some than usually it is within a National Park and you can’t use it…
Thanks a lot for supporting!
ATB Stripey
@@StripeyHatGuy I thought you'd become vegetarian lol, I'm in the west country I've never been to Scotland though.
@@shaungillingham4689 😂. Scotland is a lovely place, but our grass isn’t greener than others 😎
It looks really cold but also very beautiful up there.Thanks for the nice watch.
Cheers buddy 👍
Wow,what a great pitch stripey,i was thinking yesterday,shall i camp this weekend,i thought nah,its gonna be very cold!
Then i just watched you and thought,i need to man up and get out there!
Great content as usual 👍
Thanks a lot mate! Yeah is a beautiful place and super easy to reach - worst case you can make it back to the car in 60-90 minutes.
Thanks
Stripey
Brilliant Stripey love the video 😍👍..What a great time we had mate 😁..Looking forward to our next adventure.
Cheers
Robert
Thanks a lot Robert! Great to see you again - hopefully next time won’t take too long 🤞👍
@@StripeyHatGuy Defo mate 😀👍
Cracking camp I was out Saturday night got some wintery showers and was a bit chilly but not bad 👍
Nice mate! Yeah winter is definitely coming 😍
Beautiful nature
btw, I cannot believe that you "grams hunter" just deliberately went out with "super heavy" trangia set :) .. I am now a bit sarcastic (in funny manner because I have almost everything what Trangia ever made and I am using that .. I just use Trangia for 3 decades) .. my usual lightweight setup when I boil only water is to go out just with 25size set alu kettle and in summer I use Trangia alcohol burner (heavy but efficient) with `Jolmo Lander Titanium stove' (from aliexpress - my only gear from there and the best, highly recommended, trangia fits into it, before the name was `Argos Titanium stove') and in the winter I use some gas burner (trangia + triangle or I have few other free standing gas burners like for example Kovea Spider Gas) .. jetboil hype just missed me entirely, I don't have any, never had and not planning to have some in future .. If I want to enjoy some real cooking, I do it same :) .. I take out some custom set of my trangia gear
I think every stove has it’s usage, currently I am enjoying the trangia with all of its advantages/comfort. Before I went to the minimum gear required I used a msr multifuel 1st Generation for like 5 years…brilliant stove for winter in the alps.
Regarding the yetboil, missed the hype as well as I already have a gas stove (BSR 3000).
But yeah, a proper meal can’t be beaten, hence I dehydrate my own for boiling water - never tried a bought one 😎
That looked a cold one, do you not get cold wind blowing into tent without a sewn in ground sheet??
A single wall tent/tarp is for sure colder inside in comparison to other tents, when you have snow to cover up the bottom I consider this setup basically 4 season) but that is just my opinion. Everyone uses different gear and has different needs.
When I expect proper cold temperatures and no snow I would use the scarp 1.
Thanks a lot for watching!
ATB Stripey
Leaving the wall you built is not good. If you can spend time collecting the rocks, you can spend time scattering them back into the landscape.
That Thai curry looks fantastic and warming on a winter camp 😋 But I really hope that you went back and dismantled the wall you built after finishing your piece to camera . Otherwise its not exactly a Leave No Trace ethos if you didnt . Im surprised that such a short distance from the Ski centre you didn't opt for your Scarp 1 tent . That way you wouldn't have had to build a wall to keep out the drafts and alter the environment. Just a thought .
Ditto, that's what I was saying at the end of this video about the wall.
You guys really need to get real here. The ‘structure’ of two rows of rocks which Stripey made is next to a boulder field…have you ever thrown a stone into a lake or have you ever put a stone on top of a cairn?
@@MaliceGLA certainly have thrown rocks in a lake as a kid But your comparison to building a wall is totally different and doesn't carry any weight in this debate. A stone thrown in a lake can no longer be seen once thrown in and doesn't alter the appearance of the Lake . As for the Cairn scenario no I don't place rocks on them. Whilst building a 2 tier wall which" IS" visible and alters the landscape and appearance of the environment is the complete opposite. Its immaterial if a boulder field is next to it. Hardly leave no trace is it ?? Going on your basis then. Would it be acceptable to build man-made structures on every boulder field, Rocky summit and Plateau because there's rocks and leave it in place . ??
@@Steve72Outdoors living in Austria, yes we do have on almost all boulder fields/summits a cairn, markers and painted rocks. As I said, don’t want to argue here just hope that you really life after the principles you say online.
Appreciate the comments and thoughts! Wasn’t really thinking that the ‘wall’ would spark such an interest and good to hear other people’s opinions!
For me so far leaving no trace was obviously taking all material out from a hike which I brought in or found on the way (left or lost by others) I even go so far that I drink most of the time the water from cleaning my pasta bolognaise pot, nope I didn’t do it with the frying pan in that video either (I just cleaned it with water and put the dirty water in the boulder field…) . Cairns, way markers etc. I personally never considered in leaving a trace - but I know that some do (particular in America). What I haven’t shown in the video was like campfire sides with burned ground around the Loch…long story short, I heard a different opinion, thought about it and I think it is right - will definitely remove the wall next time.
So again thanks for the mentioning it!

Always nice to wake up to a dusting overnight
I have started using the Asian supermarket meal packs cheap good shelf life unrefrigerated small size and not overly heavy
And dam tasty
I also like a Ben's spicy mexican rice with some chorizo
Yeah definitely! The rice and chorizo is fantastic, got this recommended a while ago and really enjoyed it! Thanks a lot for the tip with the Asian supermarket, mine was just from Aldi and I think they discontinued it 😏.
Cheers
Stripey
Great video. Love the idea of a wall around my tent. 😂
Thank you very much 👍
Another cooking video with my favourite Trangia! Just wondering, are you a fan of Outdoor Boys? :D
Well when the nights get longer, you need a task I guess and cooking is another hobby of mine 👍
Reverse phycology stating no clickbate - made me click.. -7 is definitely fresh... 🥶
In 2023, saying "no clickbait" is almost clickbait itself! Lol!
Sad but true story 😕
