    Haze Lad. Brilliant. Best vid...I wish I was a younger lad like you. Instead I'm an older lad!
    I've not been well recently. The old issue could be back to haunt me but I'll fight the good fight.
    I could be better.
    I need an adventure.
    Your doing Robins. I'm doing foxes.......
    This is a fantastic challenge and the only way to do it is solo...
    If the simple things make you happy your on the right path...:)
    I hope the Doc says I'm good to go for another adventure.

    Watching people's channels on RUclips has made me do away with normal TV and the largely disputed license.
    Vids like this are brilliant, it's what I want to watch, not a schedule. Brilliant haze, keep it up x

      I was just thinking the other day that there has to be loads more people watching the internet at any given moment than cable tv, right? There’s so much content in YT, add Netflix and what more does a guy need for entertainment.

    Had a great time following along. Thanks for the vid. Over here in Canada food in tent is a no go. Too many predatory animals for it to be safe. We have to eat away from our tent and hang our food from trees away from camp or tie an animal safe sack or barrel to a tree. A bit more work that is. Especially the hang. Nice variety of food. Have you considered dehydrating your own food for trips?

    Great channel and vids. As a Canadian (instead of "wild camping" we call it "backcountry" or "interior" camping) the wildest part of this whole video was you eating and keeping your food in your tent with you!! We have a whole variety of precautions we take for bears to try and keep the smell of the food away from your tent. Usually we do what's called a "bear hang" where you go about 200m away from your camp and hang your food bag up a tree about 4m high to try and prevent a bear from getting at it.
    Overall super enjoying watching what it's like elsewhere to hike and camp!

    Really enjoyed this video, so thanks Haze man. As a Scot, I've covered a lot of the Highlands on my motorcycle but I've never been a keen hiker, so it's a joy to see some of these remote areas off the beaten track.
    Who knows, when I retire it may be an idea to re-visit your video and try and do at least part of the trail.
    Had a wee laugh when one of Scotland's major historical landmarks at Glenfinnan was described as "a little monument and stuff". The bonnie Prince will be birlin' in his grave!
