Solo Camping in Scotland | Wild Trout Catch & Cook
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 май 2022
- Solo wild camping in my hammock, fishing for wild trout and cooking it over a fire... nestled in a patch of forest next to a remote Loch, listening to Cuckoo calls and the fire crackling...
What more could I ask for?
Join me on this solo adventure as I explore a remote Loch in Scotland. Using my Amok Draumr 5.0 Hammock I set up a cosy camp sheltered from the winds. Build a fireplace and enjoy the solitude in pristine wilderness.
Leaving it better than I found it, I managed to take out some rubbish with me, please BE that person to contribute positively when you go out. You will inspire others to do the same, and together we can make a real difference to our beautiful planet.
Until the next adventure,
Eze

I felt at peace watching your peace. Nice monologue at the end, I think many of us can relate.
Thanks bud!! Was indeed a peaceful one, a beautiful opportunity to be in nature thanks for coming along!
Your video editing kind of gives off Les Stroud Vibes! Really enjoyed the content, keep it coming!
Hahaha wow that’s a huge compliment, I love les Stroud he’s such a LEGEND! Thanks man!
I make sure that i camp at least once a year at that loch. A beautiful place! Keep it a secret.x
Definitely!!
This is so true what you have said at the end. We need or should I say we have to learn to appreciate little things we already have.
Totally bud! Thanks for that I appreciate that!
Another great video Eze! Really enjoying watching your adventures! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks Calum! Appreciate that, it’s a pleasure to share mate - keep on adventuring 🔥👊
Ditto the advice on not surrounding your fire with rocks from a river or lake bed. I learned that the hard way years ago when a rock exploded. I know you are dedicated to leaving no trace. That would be pretty difficult to do if a rock was to explode and splatter your guts and brains all over your campsite. It would also be a disservice to me and others who enjoy vicariously exploring the great outdoors through your videos (not to mention a shocking sight to behold).
Hahah ok I'll try not to explore myself, thanks for the love!
Fabulous video Eze, as always ❤ I love your philosophy and approach to life. I have an Amok hammock too but you make it look so much easier to get into than I am able to manage...but I am nearly 64 and new to wild camping 🤣🤣 Keep them coming. Jenny
Thanks Jenny! Don't worry about the Amok (I only show the good entries!!! hahah) - takes a bit getting used to doesn't it? Thanks I'm glad the words resonate with you ! Keep on adventuring!
@@EzeAdventurer Ahh, that's reassuring 🤣🤣 Yes it definitely does take a bit of getting used to and I'm not as agile as I used to be 😅😅 but once you're in it it's soooo comfortable 🙂
Keep on adventuring too. Jenny
@@JJ-sx2zg Thanks!!
The simple things. That's where we come from and that's how we should enjoy life, with gratitude and optimism. I'm hopeful humanity will reach a point where we all learn how to live like this.
Wise words my man!! Love it 😍- me too buddy I also hope we can learn to value what’s truly important, to strip it all down to our core existence. Thanks 🙏
legal size limit here in scotland is 25cm fish looed kinda small
Didn’t know that, wouldn’t have eaten it in hindsight thanks for bringing this to me attention mate
Quality content thanks for making it
Thanks brother appreciate you watching and commenting!
Simply brilliant
Wow thanks bud!
Perfect overnighter. Thanks for sharing. 🙂👍🏕️
You bet! Thanks for watching!
What a fab spot to stay eze, loving that hammock. What a shame that people still won’t take there rubbish home with them. Looking forward to your next adventure. Maxxxx
Thanks Max it was such a beautiful little spot, I know re rubbish, but I'm growing more confident that we can educate and reverse this!
Thank you for sharing your adventure! Cheers!
Pleasure as always buddy!! Thanks for watching
@@EzeAdventurer You're very welcome!
Excellent camp and video Eze. Wonderful spot!
Thanks brother from another mother!
Another great video, keep em coming!
Thanks brother appreciate them! More coming !!
A true inspiration to get out and do more, great video 🏕👍
Thanks buddy I really appreciate that!!
Well said at the end, great video made from the heart👍😆
Thank you 😁 yes exactly made from the heart! More to come !
Superb video matey, looked like a great camp. Thanks for uploading 😊 Cheers, Rich.
Thanks Rich mate, appreciate that!!
Great video as always my friend time to reboot and refocus on life . Meaningful words at the end that ring so true. 🙏
Totally mate! Thanks so much, glad to hear the words resonated with you :-) !
From a Scotsman, I hope you enjoyed your time here brother. You're part Scot now. Cheers
Aaaah man thank you! I have a massive amount of love reserved for Scotland in my heart! What a wonderful country, with wonderful people. Thank you
Cracking video Eze what a fantastic location the fish looked tasty that ammock looks so comfortable might have to put one on my Christmas list good on you for carrying out other people's rubbish loved the end speech totally agree atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Haha the Amok is getting a lot of attention, they should be giving me a commission!! No jokes aside it's a tremendous product! Fish was super tasty, and glad the words resonated with you at the end mate. Keep on adventuring bud!!
Hey mate, be careful using wet ( submerged rocks) for you fire ring.
On heating they can explode.
thanks bud you're absolutely right - in hindsight I could have done a bit better. I tried using the wet ones for the least heated sides of the fireplace just in case, but good point still! Thanks for commenting !
@@EzeAdventurer I was watching going “no eze”.
I had some rocks explode on a beach camp fire once. Firing hot bits of rock everywhere like bullets.
I did think the rocks were dry but obviously not.
@@BurtReynoldstash I hear you brother! will try to avoid!!!! thanks for the care :-)
Why oh why oh why are some people so inconsiderate. Thanks for cleaning up. Lovely stuff!
Right?! Thanks for watching and we'll be the keepers of these spots - we'll lead by example!
Great video as always mate
Thanks and Glad you enjoyed it - I appreciate that!
Awesome night out, looks like lonely country….well done
Thanks bud! Yes so beautiful - and nothing better than a bit of solitude (at times!) !
Great video mate, looked a quality spot 😁 Definitely need to upgrade my hammock to the Amok! Nice job with the fishing too buddy, look forward to the next one, Matt 👍🏻👍🏻
Hahah I should be getting a commission from Amok, looks like I'm converting quite a few campers out there!!! Thanks bud, look forward to our next trip together xxx
@@EzeAdventurer random but can you side sleep in them? I don’t get a good sleep in my DD, ive seen you have to get the balance right for it to not tip?
@@foresteroutdoors You can definitely side sleep, I'm pretty sure I side sleep 90% of the time. You do learn to get the balance right, intuitively!
@@EzeAdventurer I was going to get one a while back because it went flat, but it was a chunk of money to take a punt on it and not be able to sleep on my side. Nice one mate. Also they easy enough to get out for toilet time 😂 that’s something else I struggled with the DD, even with a central sleeping bag zip on my bag
@@foresteroutdoors haha - yeah so getting out is easy enough, it takes a bit of practise, the key is setting your bum back further than you think. The one thing I don't like too much is when I need to unzip the mosquito net, you kind of have to lean forward, and that puts your centre of mass way forward and kind of tilts you quite a bit if you know what I mean. Re zipping it back up creates the same dynamic. IT's not a huge deal for me but something to be aware of. All the best bud!
Lovely eze as always…looked like a little wind trap from all the over turned trees! But wild too 👌 breaks my heart seeing that amok 😂 been taking my DD hammock the last two trips I’ve done trying to justify its purchase before I upgrade to the amok! Just looks so comfy 😂 good job eze 👍
Hey bud! Thanks I appreciate that! Haha the amok is pretty amazing, but the important thing is getting out there. You don't "need" anything extra, but if you think it will improve your experience over lots of outings then maybe it can be an "investment" (the same word my wife uses to justify a new handbag btw!). Keep on adventuring bud!
Glad to see u cook some more food,,l was assuming u guys must have tiny stomach
Hahah yeah that trout was delicious but barely tickled by stomach lol
Enjoyed they closing words there ... good video and a new sub
Thanks and welcome aboard buddy! 👊🙌
Not rocks out of water , I've had a few explode on me in the past mate, great video brother
Totally right! Luckily got away with it… thanks for watching mate !
Great inspiring video. I'd be careful making a camp fire where its boggy and mossy mate like I did once
Thanks mate - what happened ??
@@EzeAdventurer nightmare mate nearly set light to the peat underneath
@@al_bish aaah thanks for the warning appreciate it
@@EzeAdventurer no problem mate 👌 keep up the brilliant work
NEVER use waterlogged rocks around your fire, the moisture will expand & can cause them to explode with devastating results. I really enjoy your content & want it to continue without injury.
Thanks a lot buddy I appreciate that! You're right re the advice!! Sending you good wishes!
Great video. I’m getting into caping next year.
Would you recommend a few locks that are out the way of roads and good for 1st time camping
That's awesome! I would recommend Glen Affric, or Galloway Forest park, just explore, keep the plan fluid. Try to go with lots of daylight and plan to set up camp VERY early to allow for any shenanigans etc. Most importantly is to get out, regardless of where you go!
Seems like every time you come up to Scotland you find crap people have just left all over the place. Sad to say i've also seen plenty of beer cans whenever I go into the highlands.
Haha yeah I know mate it’s so disappointing but I’ve seen so much worse, this spot was beautiful nonetheless and it gave me the opportunity to pick up the rubbish, and hopefully inspire others to change! Thanks for commenting and watching
oh AMOK .. yea cant afford.. :( .. looking for a min 12ft. camo hammock tarp thats superlight but affordable , suggestions welcomed .. uk sources prefered
Hey bud I know they are so pricey! The quality is honestly outstanding, best tarp I’ve ever had by far. Packs incredibly well, and so easy to set up, but yeah costs you an arm and a leg
great video!! so relaxing :)
whats your fishing set up?
Hi bud! Thanks I just use a cheapish rod from amazon, I think it’s like 6lb line, to a swivel then a bit of 2X for leader and onto lure or spinner
hammock was the perfect choice for that location. it's a shame that litter is found even out there though :(
Thanks Stephen yeah I was happy to have chosen the hammock!
I know re rubbish but generally was quite good… I’ve seen worse . Anyway hopefully we can all do better
What is this best lure you were so worried dabout?🤨 Also very nice and relaxing video!
haha thanks mate, it's my favourite mepps spinner, black and yellow
eze what tarps that mate? got a link please ? ty
Yeah amok bud
Man i love your vids, where was this loch you were fishing if you don't mind me asking? Keep up the great content!
Hi mate Thank you! I can't pin point I'm afraid but general area is near Galloway..
Anyone know where abouts in Scotland this is?? Great channel
Around Galloway area mate ;)
Thanks for posting - I live in Scotland and you're doing what I have been dreaming of!
As for fishing, I know you don't need a licence for Scotland. Do you have to do anything in particular for each body of water you fish at? Anyone's permission you need etc.? This is the biggest thing I'm unsure of when it comes to wild camping!
Hi mate you need to check Google for each body of water 👍
Glad you’re liking the video and hope it inspires you to get out there and experience the beautiful nature for yourself 👊
Technically you need written permission off the owner. In practice though it can be hard to find them, crack on and if worse comes to the worse they’ll just ask you to stop. You can then just move to another loch as there’s always more just around the corner.
Ps, you could always camp at the coast no permission is required for sea fishing.,
@@noblestsavage1742 Thanks for the info buddy much appreciated!!!
Good video but utterly ridiculous taking trout that size.
Thanks, just bear in mind that the big ones are the ones that spawn / breed... thus the argument can sometimes be reversed in favour of taking smaller rather than larger..
