Dear Grace, a little late to the party but… firstly nice vid. Always good to see Scotland. Secondly good for you getting Blacks involved. It’s your channel so you do what you want if the jealous wringers can’t cope with someone doing well then that’s on them, not you. Keep up the excellent content and know that your channel is appreciated.👍
Don't worry about the negatives Grace, just think how many individuals you have inspired in the recent years. That number itself outweighs the number of unhappy viewers. Not all videos will be as popular as some of your other works but you absolutely have the right to take the opportunity and get sponsored for what you do. Nobody forces those viewers to watch your content or spend money at Blacks. Just ignore them and carry on with what you are doing. ;-)
Unfortunately when you become more popular you also become a target for negativity. Grace as in everything in life as you progress people come in and leave your life it’s the same here , as you progress with channel. By viewing , liking or commenting some have a sense of ownership of your path but you are the only one with that power , you need to reach out if you want to grow so always look at opportunities and if there right for you grab them . For every one that will leave 3 more will join you on a new journey .
Rab make the best outdoor clothing. Love your beautiful smile Grace. An outstanding video. Thanks for sharing and taking us along. So crack on pretty lady and have a wonderful day.
Nice video! And don’t worry about the “commercial moaners” - you made it clear in the title it’s something a bit different, nothing wrong with that and we’ve all got to make a living (not saying you are from this!). So people choose to click or not - fair play to you for scooping a well known brand!
Grace you are an inspiration, this video was you authentically living your best life and all of us are here to see that journey, ad or no ad. I hope you're out there filming some new content, we're patiently waiting 😁
I'm a little confused as to why people are whining at Grace about not being able to find XXXL and larger sized trousers....... 🤔 Why are people even whinging? about anything? Why is this relevant? She's doing so well for herself and if you can't handle it, go and work on yourselves 😚 x x
nice one, Grace. And yep, I agree with all the positive here that you should be thrilled that companies like Blacks and Garmin (previous video?) want to get involved with your channel. What an accolade to achieve in what seems a short space of time. keep on filming 🙂
Love all your videos, they are a joy to watch and always waiting for the next one. Quick question. My wife loves the headband you were wearing on the Blacks video. What make is it and where can she buy one? Cheers Grace.
Great stuff, looks like a cracking walk, will check out my maps to try and figure the route out (as much as I love mountains I also love forests!) A Rab down jacket is next on my list, I’ll maybe wait for sales later in the year or next jan to see what I find. I’m always concerned it will make me too hot?
Every day in Scotland is great day! I lived there 3 different times while I was in the US Navy. It’s the most beautiful,place on earth. Great video. Looks like you all had a great time.
Even if it was a 'small step' Grace, which I am not saying it was, it's a giant leap for others like me who struggle to get beyond their door step. And it's a commercially oriented world so for those who don't like it..well hard luck.
It's a nice spot for a hike, great views onto Nevis in winter. Nevis via CMD is a cracking day out as well when the weather supports it. Well done on getting a sponsored video, with some stuff to use on your adventures. Shows the quality of your content really.
So this is just an advert for Blacks. They gave some people some kit to walk around in some mountain scenery based on the number of subscribers they have on youtube. The goal - to make us buy stuff!!! Was a great channel in the beginning but this instalment really is disappointing in terms of decent content and didn't really depict a "Hiking Adventure". The title used the word "EPIC" - yet the video is just plain ordinary and not very impressive at all.
I’m confused. We still did the hike.. still climbed mountains. Were out for 10hrs. How does the fact that blacks provided the kit (which kept us dry and warm which is quite important) take away from the experience? But yes it says in the title “with Blacks” as they kindly sponsored one of my videos which is awesome for me.
@@flash4tech so according to a stranger on RUclips I’m not allowed to work alongside my passion? Do you know how much money I spend on the hours and hours of travel and the kit and the accommodation and the tech for filming and the subscriptions for editing. If I occasionally get offered a job that also benefits me with kit, too right I’m taking it. I’ll continue to deliver the videos i always have, for myself. not for anyone else.
Yes the outdoors are 24/7, but sadly Blacks and others don’t cater for all sizes, if you are a large male, say 46 or greater waist, larger than xxl, then you cannot get branded goods. Or is it that large active fit people aren’t wanted.
There are professional guides who are on the 7’ end of 6m’ that manage abs my wife is short with big hips and rab have clothing lines with long regular and short legs (one of the only company’s that do).
I’m not quite as man as this but I recently struggled to find any walking trousers that fit. I’ve opted for some Rab leggings that I’ll wear shorts over. I’ve been fortunate with coats, and I choose to invest in boots. Walking poles are my issue, often they slip back into each other and none can handle my weight. Or should I say strength..?
@@jonnym7751 sorry to jump in on this: Although I sort of agree- it would be good to help to bring attention to smaller independent companies- Grace needs to be approached by these companies and for them to be willing to offer their support on her adventures for this to happen. If they do, then great and kudos to Grace for putting herself in a position to benefit from brands wishing to use her and her channel as a platform for their own advertising. If Blacks had approached me I would grab hold of such opportunities with both hands! I have a small RUclips channel and following and know how much time and effort is involved in trying to maintain- let alone grow- an audience. You’ve done and are doing amazing, so ignore any haters- don’t even give them your time in responding or validating why you’ve done something a certain way. Good luck and keep adventuring! Oh and if you haven’t already, check out Alpkit- awesome kit, great company ethos and have grown from a tiny little two man band into a proper bonafide brand- another British success!
After the 16 hour round trip, the 10 hour hike in some tough conditions and the 7-8 hours of editing, this is great to hear. 😂 thanks for the feedback.
@@GracesAdventures sorry if I have touched a nerve but it's just the truth. I know "wow, great video!" Is easy to hear..but watch your video with independent eyes. What did you achieve? What have you personally experienced that was rewarding? All it seemed to me was that you climbed somewhere on a mountain, had some photo shoots and ate lunch next to a mountain bothy and then went home. I was left wondering why i had watched your video. In the past I have asked you to setup a patreon service and I encourage you again to do so but this was your first video that left me wondering what the point was.
@@dcbrit2003 I personally experienced an extremely fun and rewarding day with some great people in some incredible scenery and I got some kit which I love and will keep me going on many future hikes to come. That’s a success for me. I like sharing my adventures for me and I always try and share every aspect of what I do. As much as I’d love them to be, they won’t all be incredibly inspiring, motivational, successful videos of amazing experiences because that’s not life. I appreciate your views though, can’t please everyone.
@@GracesAdventures well, that's true but if you want your channel to grow and people to watch your content I would reflect on the many comments I have now read, some being quite negative unfortunately. If you do want people to watch your videos then you need to provide a reason for them to keep doing so. It's obvious a sizable proportion of your viewership feels the same way
@@dcbrit2003 your mistake is thinking that I create my videos purely for views/likes/subscribes. I don’t. I always have and always will put out whatever content I want to as it’s my channel. That’s probably why it’s naturally done well because it’s authentic and true to myself. That won’t change. If people watch, great. If they don’t, that’s fine too. It’s a shame that not everyone is so supportive of a great opportunity that has come my way. You’re talking about “if I want my channel to grow”… well it is, hence this sponsorship. And the more it grows and gets successful, the more sponsorship I will get which is ultimately what anyone wants, to make a career out of their passion. Be less negative.
What’s wrong with having kit to aid what I do if it also helps promote good kit to other hikers? Atleast you can see I actually wear and use the kit that I recommend…
Nice fun video Grace, good on you for getting to this stage with the channel where Black's are looking for you to review gear....you are obviously doing something right so don't listen to the outside noise, do your own thing atb Brian 👍
Grace you have a great channel and even this video was sponsored by blacks you made it short and sweet. Some very jealous people out there that like to complain because your doing well for yourself keep it the good work 👍
What a pity this video is basically an advert for outdoor gear. There are enough of those already! You could learn from some other videos that deliberately exclude naming gear.
Firstly, Grace what an epic video as always! Secondly, I honestly cant believe how much people actually want to hate on people. It screams jealousy to me.. these people would do anything to be in your position, so the only thing they can do is make you feel worse about yourself. KEEP DOING YOU. You're amazing.
Absolutely stunning hike, looks like you all had a wonderful time! We particularly enjoyed the music choice and the gear from Blacks appears very stylish and functional. 👍
@@flash4tech if you don’t like it just unsubscribe and leave my channel. But also how do the Scottish snow-capped mountains not make a stunning hike? 🗻
Hi Nice video ! Couldn't help noticing that your backpack straps were high off your shoulders, needs adjusting. I made a mistake when I bought a large size Osprey Exos, and realised it wasn't adjustable, needed the medium bag. It's important to get the bag fitted before you buy it. All the best 👍
So cool you’re working with different brands! Love the vlog! It’s so nice to see behind the scenes, can’t wait for the next one! Keep doing what you’re doing

Awesome video, lv the kit, fab 😍 Jelous of all the snow ❄ 😀

Loved it! That was an awesome adventure. Loved the photoshoot! 🤗🔥🏕

I think its more the fact she’s no one to recommend anything, she’s hardly ‘experienced’ is she.
Love the video, what a great day out in the mountains and kudos to Blacks as well. Very jealous.
We are doing something similar on our channel so feel free to check it out :)
Where have you gone? 😔

Hi Grace can I ask where your headband is from please? Is that Blacks also? Thank you
Nowt wrong with brassy self promotion. Fake tan ,let's go..
Always nice to get fresh air in the mountains and love a fresh set of gear. Who doesn't love free gear?! Keep killing it 👊 nice video.
LOVE your fleece at the start of this! Where did you get it from??
Even if it was a 'small step' Grace, which I am not saying it was, it's a giant leap for others like me who struggle to get beyond their door step. And it's a commercially oriented world so for those who don't like it..well hard luck.
One hour down from the CIC is ambitious but great to see you made the most of the day! The view of the Ben from that side is amazing
We want you back, Grace...!
What an epic trip! Filmed so beautifully too, well done 👏🏼

If your waist is more than 46 inches, you may have more luck with a mobility scooter. 😀
You have to find balance between your advantures and sponsored things because your vlogs has started losing soul ...
I have 36 videos over 2 years and this is only the 2nd sponsored one…?
@@GracesAdventures but second in the row . However i like you and your films , and i’d like you to be yourself there 🙂
Too commercialised
🤷🏻♀️ part of what I do! Great brand and great kit and a great hike 🙌🏻
@@GracesAdventures how about supporting small independent outdoor shops?
