    POEM TRANSLATION:
    OSSIAN’S ADDRESS TO THE RISING SUN (BARDACHD NA FEINNE.)
    “O THOU that rollest above, round as the full-orbed hard shield of the mighty! Whence is thy unsullied beam? Whence, O Sun! thy everlasting light? Thou comest forth in the strength of thy beauty; the stars hide their motions from our view; the moon darkens in the sky, concealing herself in the eastern wave. Thou art on thy journey alone; who will presume to attend thy course? The oaks fall on the high precipice; the stoney heap and the hoary cliff sink under age. “
    (The poem continues, but this was my favourite part)

      Only one question I have.Why not build another reflector behind your bed?
      Is not that much work but will give much more comfort.Saw that multiple times on U-tube and always gives me the same wondering.

      Lo, now, the journeying sun,
      Another day's march done,
      Kindles his campfire at the edge of night!
      And in the twilight pale
      Above his crimson trail,
      The stars move out their cordons still and bright.
      Now in the darkening hush
      A solitary thrush
      Sings on in silvery rapture to the deep;
      While brooding on her best,
      The wandering soul has rest,
      And earth receives her sacred gift of sleep.

    Ach, Tom… this video is what made your channel beloved…
    This is what we crave to see.. to hear.. to feel.. to be, dearest lad..
    These are your roots.. and the roots sought out by those who seek..
    We of Scottish heritage go with you on your travels.. watching you.. learning from you.. appreciating so much the Gaelic poem..
    We offer you this prayer we learned at our Mum’s knee in Gaelic.. we use English here..
    May it be so for you…
    Deep peace of the running wave to you…
    Deep peace of the flowing air to you…
    Deep peace of the quiet earth to you…
    Deep peace of the gentle night to you…
    Moon and stars pour their healing light on you…
    Deep peace of the Light of the World to you…
    Amen 🌹🙏
    My sweet husband was very sick all his life.. we prayed these beautiful words in Gaelic together every night.. so helped his pain it did..
    We pray it still..
    May these words be a blessing to you.. keeping you safe🌹🙏

You should be able to set a rectangle big enough to contain the text, set to black then play around with the opacity, maybe around 30-50% to see if that's enough contrast with the white text. And as suggested leave on the screen a bit longer.

    Wanted to add another comment as a young child I would go to a large lake in Missouri it's been a couple weeks every year I got to spend a lot of time fishing with my father before he passed in the beginning of the video where you are walking on the shoreline all of a sudden I could smell the water and the shore the sound of the water lapping on the shore was so vivid that it brought smells flooding back to me and those memories of my dad I think that I had blocked a lot of those memories out because it devastated me when he died but I was really glad to get those back. Thanks for the great video and for the memory funny how your mind can do that. Simon

    I have enjoyed your videos. Despite not having Scottish blood, I have done the unspeakable and purchased a great kilt. I'm currently using it for my camping and hiking. It's a solid color to respect Scottish families but have zero regret incorporating it in my bushcraft. I grew up hunting, camping and fishing. This is not to get into that lifestyle, it is directly related to improving it.

    Absolutely wonderful, I enjoyed the video immensely. The innovation, simplicity and multipurpose uses for the items in your kit. Our ancestors had the simple life figured out. The use of a cloak pin for a tripod was a nice touch. The simple bedroll held with rope and essentials rolled up within. No backpack/rucksack. The moss and animal skin for a comfortable sleep. The wool cap pulled down for head warmth at night. It makes me proud to have Scottish heritage.
