4 Days Wild Camping, Packrafting and Fishing in the Scottish Wilderness

- Join us on an epic 4-day wild camping, packrafting, and fishing adventure in the last wilderness of Scotland! From challenging hikes over rugged terrain to paddling through pristine lochs, we pushed ourselves to the limit in one of the most remote areas of the country. Our heavy backpacks were loaded with everything we needed: packrafts, paddles, camping gear, and enough food to sustain us for four days.
Portaging long stretches and hiking upstream at times, we connected four lochs over four days. We even stashed our gear to tackle a strenuous 6-hour summit hike, rewarded with breathtaking views from the top.
Camping in dream spots, surrounded by serene landscapes, we enjoyed fantastic fishing for brown trout-some of which made it into our pan to supplement our calories. The journey wasn’t without its challenges, as we faced a crazy amount of ticks and a thrilling thunderstorm on the third night. Sitting under our tarp, drenched but grinning, we couldn't help but revel in the wild beauty around us.
This adventure was an unforgettable experience with my buddy Matt from @ADVENTUREISMADE Don’t miss this incredible journey through Scotland’s last wilderness! Watch now and join us in the heart of the wild.

love my country you make it feel so proud to be scottish loved it 👍🏴
Scotland is deep in my heart buddy, I'll never lose my love for that beautiful land. You SHOULD be proud!!!
Me tae but that bloody coo coo bird would drive me insane
@@thomashawk21 hahah it was actually lovely! didn't feel annoying at all lol
Love it when you team up with Matty, @AdventureIsMade, 2 very cool characters who know their stuff. Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks mate.
Thanks Robb! Matty is an awesome camping buddy.
(When he doesn't out fish me that is... that's just rude).
Absolutely beautiful,I love Scotland. Great memories created . Incredibly well filmed.
Thank you!! me too
That was pure quality.Thank you so much.Brilliant drone footage etc etc.Breath taking scenery.
You're welcome buddy, thank you too!!
Thank you for letting us come with your on your trip❤❤❤❤
Thanks for coming!!!
Your videos never fail to put a smile on my face! The days I cannot walk outside, I walk on my treadmill and watch your videos, and in my mind, I am right there, feeling the wind and enjoying the wonderful sights!! 💙😍 As always, excellent editing and wonderful choice of music! 💯⛰️👌
Do not give up on walking OutSide, period.
Thanks so much for watching them, awesome way to combine treadmill with some entertainment! Glad you like the music, I do too (very objective ) lol
Scotland 🏴 epic scenery.. some untamed wilderness.. thats where I am at home the most, especially when am on the water.. love my country...🏴🌍💙🎣
Scotland baby!!! PURE LOVE!!! 🏴
I used to love hiking in Scotland and many other countries. My health means I no longer can but it is good being able to experience it through videos.
Glad you are able to live it together with me via video!!
Nice. Lovely photography, contemplative approach, and sparing use of music and commentary.
Thanks I am glad you picked up on that, I was going for that!! thanks!!
absolutely covered in ticks..... proceeds to sit barefoot hahaha, great video!!
LOL. Why women live longer than men...
Most likely 😂, great video@@EzeAdventurer
Suilven . A great mountain a great country and a great adventure and a beautiful video well done ❤️❤️🏴❤️🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!! Couldn't agree more!! A great country indeed. LOVE Scotland!!
True, there is nowhere in England that can compare IMO. Just goes to show fewer people around and the land remains perfect.
Excellent journey through our fabulous wildlands...
Thank you, stunning landscape, some of the best in UK
What a bloody awesome adventure!! Great vid man👌
Thanks a ton!!
Your production is off the chart now Eze, amazing 👏
Thank you 🙌!!
Wow, standing ontop of that mountain 😮 what a view and a golden eagle as well. So lucky Eze. Great vid as always, thanks for the upload
Really lucky!! Thank you for watching
That was soooo beautiful seeing you and Matty AdventureisMade together. Two of my favorite people……excellent video Eze! See you soon 😊
Thanks so much!!Matty is an awesome camping buddy !
Nice film of the motherland pal. Thank you for being respectful and setting a good example. Many places are being over run due to social media. So glad we have midgie's. The guardian angels of the highlands
sending many home to never return.
Breaks my heart to see the skies in such a state. Nothing natural about that.
Motherland indeed! Totally agree re midges and ticks, guarding the highlands, love that.
What do you mean re broken heart and skies? The aurora lights ? It's a natural thing isn't it?
Cheers matey
Thanks for the nice reply pal. With regards to the weather im not talking about the aurora but the weather manipulation/cloud seeding which has been relentless of late and not just in Scotland but all over this earth. Very hard to talk about on this platform. This comment may not even be seen. Not the clearest of examples but around the 2:20 mark you can see the clouds are being manipulated by HAARP frequency. (Just google HAARP clouds and compare) The powers that shouldnt be and are never seen are manipulating the weather through chemtrails and HAARP on an almost daily basis. What astounds me is how many of the outdoor/connected to nature type of people including farmers dont or cant see whats happening and shut you down for being a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist. Its being mentioned more in the main stream corporate media lateley(damage control) and soon have to be admitted. People wont believe anything until the tell-lie-vision tells them its so. Screens and their projections have become the gods of the masses and this is a very dangerous situation to be in.
Sorry for the long reply but I must do what I can do and speak what I can see and hopefuly make a small difference. This is effecting all life. All the best and keep doing what you are doing. Inspiring people to get out in the wild and live life.
You tube are manipulating views and hiding likes and coments.
@@BrianFrost-ww1te -oh dear you really are a numpty aren't you?
Our Isles of Skye is being ruined with tourists who don’t Care about respecting our beautiful country & isles of Harris is another place & everywhere on the nc500 is now being invaded & destroying . Campervans are the worst offenders even parking in peoples gardens & emptying the toilets in local burns contaminating the water supplies some people shouldn’t be allowed into Scotland.
Awesome adventure Eze. I enjoyed that heavy rain and you both caught some beautiful trout 👍
Thanks my buddy!
An enjoyable watch, more ticks than midge, you timed it right!
haha yeah would have been worse with the midge... I guess!! not sure this time.. !
Black mount fishing . Or very close . Stunning 🤩
Possibly loch Ba
Love all your films Eze. This one with Matt very special (miss his videos with Poppy). Sending you both best wishes from Down Under.
Thanks so much my Ozzie buddy! His video should be coming out soon too :-)
Thank you Eze for share this adventure. See you the next. Greetings from Brazil.
Thanks for watching,!
Stunning eze, u do get about and find all theses breath taking places. Nice to see you out with matty again. Didn’t envy you and all those ticks 😮. It was lovely to see those northern lights I also stayed up late with the camera. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Maxx
Thanks so much Max hope you captured some photos? It was very faint with the naked eye for me to be honest !
@@EzeAdventurer yeah I did capture some pics unfortunately I can’t upload you one to show u, never mind. Maxx
Espectaculares paisajes.La lluvia y las garrapatas te han dado fuerte.
Aunque lo que más te ha picado ha sido el packraft creo,le da a tus videos otra vision y te abre a muchas aventuras.
Sigue así.
Un saludo!!
jajaj sin duda lo que mas me pico ha sido el packraft jajaj ! gracias rafa!
Watching from the US, this is absolutely beautiful! The drone footage (and your choice of music) from your summit was pretty epic. But the ticks...😦
Thank you very much for watching !! Thank you yes all very epic, except the ticks... man they are still itching me now!
That’ll be the midgies pal 😜
Loved the tranquility of this one buddy, so jealous you got to see the northern lights!
Thanks bud honestly were very faint with the naked eye, only realised it after looking at the photo the next morning!
Enjoyed very much
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
fantastic to watch and well flimed
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your adventure
Thanks for commenting appreciate it!
Beautiful video. Thanks for taking us with you.
My pleasure 😊 thanks for coming along!
Wow. This is what I love ❤❤❤
Thank you!
I have been in the Assynt area and fished many of the accessible lochs, but would never take on the lochs you visited, well done guys. The last time I visited 30 years ago I fished Cam, Veyitie, Urigill, Borralan and little Loch Awe, great fishing and the pub was great too. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Jim!
What an amazing trip man! The brown trout we amazing, the ticks not so much. Surprised the tick was still walking around over you pulled it out 😮
I see it rains on you too 🤣🤣🤣⛈️⛈️⛈️
Haha you're not the only with the superpowers !! :-)
You got some mint footage up there Eze. Great to see you both out together in such a fantastic environment. I've used a couple if those campsites too. Beautiful place. We were there April last year n had perfect conditions n just before the ticks livened up.
Nice one lads, happy adventuring
Atb Rick n Billydog
Cheers Rick, I'm definitely more inclined to go there earlier next time, heck even in the SNOW to avoid those buggers lol!
Another beautiful adventure!!!😮 this one needs more talking bad bro.. you really inspire me!
Thanks man I wasn't feeling v talkative on that one for some reason, strange but I agree, was a little unlike my usual "don't shut up Eze" adventures lol
Amazing video.awesome scenery and footage.well done 👍
Thank you very much!
Gaffa tape wrapped around your hand sticky side out dabs soooo many tics of your body and clothes. Hope this helps for you or anyone reading this’ next adventure 🏕️
Good tip!
The landscape at 1:55 doesn't look at all real. Too beautiful!
you're right!!
Glad to see you're still making vids man. Having lived in the top half of the highlands for 3 years and being out hiking, fishing and paddling pretty much every weekend of that, it all looks very familiar even if I cant pin point your exact location. I found that once I committed to learning to fly fish, my success fishing sky rocketed after a significant lull while learning
Thanks so much, nothing like catching fish on the fly rod! Beautiful Scotland, which is deep in my heart with love
Epic upload Eze, love your chatter but this was also good with less chat, sometimes all you need is nature to see and hear. Appreciate your hard work. Love Scotland and the surrounding areas 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, yes exactly, wasn't feeling very talkative on this one and I felt the scenes and the nature were telling the whole story well !
Eze bro you made climbing that mountain look EASY!!!, also the intro almost had me backpedaling in my chair lol, great vid bro, hope you and the family are all doing well.
Thanks for the kind wishes buddy!! haha it was tougher than we anticipated, a short distance but damn steep lol! but always worth it, thanks for watching!
@@EzeAdventurer you had me laughing my head off when you were hiding the food from Matty lol 🤣
Wow! What an adventure Eze! It's so easy to forget we have such sights here in the UK!
Definitely! thanks matey
Its no the UK. Its Scotland pal.
@@BrianFrost-ww1te uh huh
Wow absolutely stunning video and awesome adventure watching from Stirling Scotland 👍🏻👋🏻💯😍🤗🥰👌🐟🎣🐠
Thanks for coming along!
Thank you for sharing .
Thanks for watching!
looked like an awesome few days! Northen lights, hiking, fishing, a slow worm and plenty of beautiful scenery ticked 🕷 really hope to get myself up Suilven soon, love its prominence over the surrounding area, you got some beautful views!
Thanks Paulie !! absolutely stunning area. the tick situation is definitely something to watch out for, not sure what preventative measures can be taken, but they must be taken.
to be honest the northern lights were barely visible with the naked eye, I woke up took some photos and fell asleep, only the next day I realised looking at the photos that there was something there !
@@EzeAdventurer ticks are a nuisance! I just tuck everything in and apply deet if I need to, doesn't help if you're sleeping with a dog 😂 the lights were probably obstructed by the cloud, it was the most active night for over twenty years.
@@EzeAdventurer Im no expert but i live local in the highlands so quite used to all the ticks/midge etc. Best to slightly twist when pulling them out :) As its much more likely if pulling them straight out their head can get stuck inside and thats a cause of lime disease!. Lavender is rare in scotland but if found it does have anti Tick properties and can stuff them in the top socks to avoid them from crawling up your legs. But anyways great video man nice seeing familiar places :)
@@Neil.c04 Thanks for the tip, definitely should have been twisting, and ideally with a tick removal tool. Awesome land, my hear belongs to Scotland...
@@EzeAdventurer I enjoy watching your videos a lot and has motivated me to try what you do! Tick removal tool probably does the job the best!
Great video, as always. Love the views and the adventures! But I'd honestly watch a 6 hour documentary about you camping in a storm drain, not that I'm advising you do that haha 😂. Just like planet earth wouldn't be the same with our David Attenborough, this channel and the views of nature wouldn't be the same without YOU.
P. S. if we ever camp, I'll save you some mangos and chocolate 😂
hahahah thanks for the awesome comment, made me laugh :-)
Camping in a storm drain, with mangos and choc. Got it, and coming right up!
incredible trip and very well made. Fun to watch will have to take Pablo up to Scotland soon to see the places like this
Thank you!!
Just brilliant. Great music as well.
Glad you enjoyed it thank you!
Epic edit mate! Drone shots were 👌🏻👌🏻 Another unreal adventure together bud, looking forward to the next one 😁 make sure the choc and mango are well stocked up for the next one 😂😂 speak soon mate 🤜🏻🤛🏻
hahaha (I did share off camera, but on camera I have to appear a bit more selfish). Will do buddy, more mango, more choc on the next one. got it.
really enjoyed this one matey, looking forward to reliving it when you post your video, and also to a larger epic adventure together in the future :-)
@@EzeAdventurer haha I know mate. Cheers bud, hopefully have it done this week 😁 Definitely, going to be epic for sure!!
another amazing video cant get enough of them. cant wait to explore more of my home country this year and fishing! wish i had your editing skills lol!
Thanks 👍 my friend! Hope you get out there to explore and enjoy beautiful nature!! The editing skills come with practise, I started with zero skills. If I can do it, you can do it!
Stunning location and stunning production. 🙏
Thank you!!
Just came across this vid! What a great adventure! Can't beat a 4 day trip in Scotland with some beautiful views! Lovely filming and cracking edit +1 sub 👍thank you
Totally agree! Thanks matey keep up your good work too on your channel 🙂
Nice relaxing video, thank you!
Thanks matey! was going for less talking on this one, glad it came across that way :-)
nicely made video nice fish just so bloody nice scotland the brave be careful out there.
Thanks so much!!
Wow, what beautiful country! You sure were a tick magnet! lol I couldn't believe how many you had, crazy. I have had a few but you probably had more than I have in my last 10 years! haha! Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventure. :) :)
hahah I had only had a couple previously so it definitely caught me by surprise too!!
Hi Eze your videos are superb I fished that first loch in 2001 to get round the foot and mouth restrictions at that time from my own area of Ayrshire/galloway the fishing was brilliant wish I had time to climb the hill the defensive wall up there looked impressive
on your video.
Can’t wait for the next one cheers.
Thanks so much for the comment, yes it's a stunning area! I know that wall was INSANE!
We kept telling oursleves.. how the heck did they build this up here !
This was great, came up on my algorithm.
Glad it came up! Welcome aboard buddy!
it's really fun to watch
Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate that!
Amazing video editing and adventure. I'm questioning my life choices for work lol.
thanks man. been there. it's good to question our life choices! hopefully leads to positive choices and changes
Watching this right now mate 👍❤️
Yeah buddy!
Nice trip Eze! Epic view after the climb, beauty fish and I was wondering when the rain was going to show up.... Didn't realize there are so many ticks out there.
Thanks buddy, the ticks caught us by surprise... we didn't expect that many at all!
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. 👍7
Thanks matey!
Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
Stumbled across this by accident ,what an accident that was stunning, new sub,👍🏻👍🏻,cheers fae Pat
Thanks Patrick, glad you did and welcome aboard!!
Fantastic video, stunning!
Thank you !!
Looked an amazing trip! Those ticks looked horrendous! 😳
Surprised to see others on top of the mountain
yeah stunning area, there were a few others, but we got a quiet moment to ourselves
@@EzeAdventurer now that sounds very romantic 🤣🤣
Pemandangan yang sangat indah sobat, apalagi sambil mancing, pasti menyenangkan ❤ salam kenal sobat 🙏🙏
Terima kasih banyak, ini benar-benar tempat yang indah, senang Anda menikmatinya, dan jagalah temanku!
Class as always lads 👏🏼😁
Thanks legend
Great scenery mate G'day from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 🎉🎉
Thank you, let's go Australia!
Nice one Eze, Assynt is a stunning location i love it up there . The brown trout fishing is brilliant and the mountains are stunnning , Suilven is so impressive . A bit of a tick nightmare you had ..Cracking video , cheers Stevie ..new sub
Thanks Stevie welcome aboard buddy!
Great video as always eze . I'm actually heading to the same place in June. So you beat me to it! Lol but lucky you dude on seeing eagle . I'm up Scotland 3 times this year so hope I see one in natural place .
Enjoy mate you're in for a treat - just beef up your ticks / midges game mate. The ticks are seriously out of control. Leaves you itching for over a week
eze your a dab hand at fixing broken poles nowadays somebody has to sponsor you with some free pole repair kits lol another outstanding video. when i see you've just uploaded a video i get mega excited and no pressure eh lol
Thanks so much!!
Scotland is great
The best! Scotland 🏴
Another epic vid thanks
You bet thanks buddy!
So nice nature and video 😊😊😊
Thank you so much 🙂
Great video❤
Thank you!!
Great production, first one of yours i have watched. Beautifully filmed and excellently paced editing and perfect music. Gunna watch some more! Craig - Doco maker of 35 years :-) ps: where is Matt from ? Do i detect a Teesside accent?!
Welcome aboard buddy!! Appreciate it! haha yeah he's from very close to there!!!
Yay!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉watching know
Thanks!!
Great video Eze
Thanks! mate
Amazing video as always! Would be really nice to give a bit more insight regarding the location(s) and how to get there. But that said, I have enjoyed this video as I do wit all of your videos! Keep it up!
Thanks much for watching! definitely kept it more quiet on this one , let nature and the scenes do the talking for once... I don't disclose some locations as I feel it'd be irresponsible to do so, given the unfortunately high number of people that just camp and trash places... :-(
Love Suilven and that area. I was almost up there last week, but sadly didn't get the time.
stunning area isn’t it
@@EzeAdventurer yeah, love it!
Regarding ticks, have you tried taking garlic capsules?
@@AndyMacaskillSecond person to memtion garlic! How much in advance do you need to do that?
@@EzeAdventurer I'm not sure. I just take 4000mg daily. You could probably start it 2 days before your trip and it would be effective.
@@AndyMacaskill wow that would be epic! Does it affect your breath smell?
Greetings from Silesia 😊🏕🛶👌
Greetings back! Had never heard of Silesia before! Cool :-)
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Hi Eze, just started watching your videos about a month ago and love it! You have a real calm vibe and a great respect and appreciation for nature and life. Just wondering how good (or bad😁) the coconut milk is though?
Thanks for watching! The coconut milk is delicious!! seriously give it a solid 9 out of 10. Especially when it's warm! Matty loved it too. Can;'t recommend it enough, FULL of calories at like 700 calories per 100g !!
@@EzeAdventurer Thanks, I'll give it a go
Class adventure 😎 epic veiws😮wonder how they made they walls 🧱 up so high 😅
I know!! Those walls were unbelievable!! We were shocked and wondering the same
I'm still itching from the tick bites (over 100 estimated)!
Can you get Ugly Stik fishing rods over there (made by Shakespeare)? They’re almost unbreakable compared to average rods.
The trout looked delicious but Ramsay would tear you apart over that risotto 😂
hahah the risotto needed to be more moist or something? I left it too long maybe as I tried to catch more fish! Yeah I have that rod on my wish list, but I don't need it for now. I love my little cheap rod, telescopic, packs away so easily, does the job
When do you think you picked up all those ticks? That looked rough. Sometimes you'll get one embedded and it can be extremely painful to remove with tweezers, I still have the scars to prove it. That's why everyone should be carrying a proper tick remover, not just tweezers, it looks like a little plastic lever but you actually twist the tick out. It works on those really bad embedded ones without causing any more damage to your skin.
Throughout the whole area, but mostly when walking through the tall grasses etc!! Yeah def tick removal tool coming next time !
Hi Eze, as always, I thouroughly enjoyed this vlog. Loved your little bracelet ;) Wanted to ask where you get your music from.
Thanks so much!! I stand with Israel 🇮🇱.
Music from Musicbed.com and epidemicmusic. Subscription based !
22:00+ min mark was AMAZING. ⛰️
Thank you!
Hi eze what a cracking video where exactly was this as I’m interested looks and was amazing I know its Scotland but where if you don’t mind me asking ,you seem to capture the most amazing shots from the drone and on foot the eagle at the beginning was awesome what a fantastic sight to see I’ll need to check your buddies channel out,always good to have a friend with you just in case as you will know what I mean those ticks man you were covered what can I say just love your content man keep it up take care and god bless have a great day 👍👌❤️⛺️⛺️🚣🏻🚣🏻🚣🏻
thanks so much buddy look around the IV27 postcode area, close to Suilven
@@EzeAdventurer thanks mate 👍
very good
thanks so kindly!
Beautiful, but we need the Eze narration. That's half the entertainment.
Thanks I appreciate that!! Was experimenting a bit but next adventure should be back to my chatty self 😂
@@EzeAdventurer just remember, everyone has pretty places and things to share, it's your personality and enthusiasm that sets you apart from the rest.
@@jasenhicks Beautiful words, thank you, I'm taking those in DEEPLY, and will put them into ACTION! Thank you!!
I think your videos are much better when you're alone. You hardly said a word in this one, no info or anything. But there was some beautiful footage, and I did watch the full video.
Thanks for the honest feedback, I do appreciate it and it helps me to understand more about content, filming style etc. You're right. I really wasn't feeling very talkative on this one, I wanted to try something a little different and let the scenes and nature do most of the talking... but I was definitely aware of the big change. Thanks for watching it all!
@@EzeAdventurer Hi matey Glad you did not get offended with my comment because as I hope you know I really like your channel 👍👍
@@THE-RIVER-RAT Not at all buddy, I know, and I hope you'll continue to provide honest feedback, I really do appreciate it!
consider using permethrin on your clothes to prevent tick bites
Thank you!
Wow! Those drone shots from the top of the mountain 😯😍
What is the area of Scotland you were in?
Thanks matey, postcode for the area is IV27, it's remote NW Scotland!
@@EzeAdventurer cheers matey 😄
It would be great if you included the name of the mountain you climbed; which looks freaking amazing! Names of lochs...general area. Just a few basic geographic bullet points.
Thanks I tried to keep this one to little talking, letting nature do most of it.. the mountain was Suilven, stunning area, usually unforgiving with weather and winds from the West.
Hi, great stuff as always. I’m planning on going camping in early June for 4 days in the Highlands, probably around Glen Affric. I’m not really sure what sleeping bag to bring. I was looking at a RAB with comfort at -7 thinking it was overkill but could use for future trips but now I saw you took a 5c comfort bag… Is 5 clearly enough? Thanks
oh man that's totally overkill! Even this bag was slightly too warm for me on this trip!! Nothing worse than a too warm bag, I'd recommend yes a 4-5c comfort one for spring, summer and a -5c around that for winter.. please note the insulation (sleeping pad) arguably plays a larger role than the bag itself. I have a thermarest x-therm with HUGE R-Value of like 7.3 or something, which means in the colder months, barely ANY cold seeps from the ground up. This essentially BOOSTs the capacity of the sleeping bag, at the very least it maintains its TRUE comfort rating. Also Rab / thermarest are accurate with comfort ratings, some brands bullshit you there so beware.
Fly fishing is best for these lochs. Would probably be catching every cast
I think you're right, should have taken the fly rod!
@EzeAdventurer great video. Those ticks are brutal eh 😅
@@skylinegtrvspec1908 mate I had over 100 bites, no joke. Was itching for 2 months!
Favorite Adventure Channel. When you going Full-time, Eze???
Thanks you legend! I don't think I could EVER support my family with RUclips alone...
But the idea is hopefully work in a way that allows me enough downtime to run with RUclips as far as I can take it!
@@EzeAdventurer I totally understand - In order to make that happen, I'd look into corporate sponsorships or even becoming a business partner for a niche survival product. Maybe a Eze Blend survival Food!???! Eze blend Survival Electrolyte??? I really think that could be the pathway to profitability and more adventures :)
@@jasonallinder9916 Thanks buddy appreciate the confidence vote!!
