4 Days Wild Camping, Packrafting and Fishing in the Last Wilderness of Scotland

Oh, I got my trousers soaked there a bit, but we're off. Almost 8 p.m., looking for a campsite. Matt's on the other side, he's scouting that side, I'm scouting this side, and we both like our spots, so we can't decide. This is really nice, great access. Home sweet home. That's a nice one, beautiful trout, beautiful brown trout here. Wet my hands first before handling it, guys, single hook, barbless, comes right out, gentle on the fish, don't squeeze it, look at that beauty, yeah, hello mister, that's a beautiful has to come to the rescue, you know. It's a bit thick, but maybe it's not as good as I thought, with the thing facing maybe underneath, maybe on this side, so the line, yeah, it's going to be good, mate, definitely a bit more. A tent peg, I'm going to test the cast, let's see, casting, and reeling, not bad. Oh, get off me, mate. Interesting, does this land connect all the way to the trail, because we could just start from here. We might have to, you know, to be honest. Yeah, we might have to. That's a big trout, man. Yes, sir. Nice fish. Look where we are as well, just incredible. It's going to be a brutal one. The camera doesn't do it justice at all, that is mega imposing. Oh, shit, Taki, whoa. Okay, that's deep, so, that way. Brutal so far, and we haven't even started the main steep section. It's going to get a lot more painful. Absolutely brutal ascent, really steep, really, really steep. Sweating like crazy. We still got a bit to go. Two, three. Yeah, buddy. Yes, sir. Doing some laundry here. Dryer is working in full force. What a special place. Let's get down safely and find a place to camp. Our gear is there. We made it back to the gear, absolutely exhausted. That was brutal. Almost five o'clock, we left eleven, so that's six hours. That was a rough hike. Oh, is that a fish? Is he on? I think he's swimming towards me. Quite a good size, Matt. That one for the pan, that's it? Yeah, that's for the pan, buddy. Nice one, buddy. Oh, shit. Ah, yes, sir. I need those calories. Little bit of protein, fresh food. Thank you, sir, for your life. Very much appreciate it. Keeping fresh in the water. Home sweet home. All right, guys, what an amazing day. It's almost 10 p.m. And there's some gnarly clouds in the background that came out of nowhere. We've secured everything in case a storm does whip up. I'm going to set my alarm for 11.30 p.m. Because the aurora lights come on at 11.30 p.m. Let's get into the tent because it's starting to rain a little bit heavier. He's gone, baby. He's gone. I'll put him back, though. Bye. We had almost a two-kilometer portage and another brutal one, guys. Pretty hard going. There it is. Our fourth lock of the trip. Crazy to think we were up there yesterday. Well, the wind's now shifted to a headwind. Let's find a place to camp. All right. Let's go. I'm absolutely covered in ticks. All right. Thank you, mate. Tick 100. I don't want Matt to see this. Peanut butter truffles all to myself. Matty's gone fishing. I'll save one for him. Don't worry. Shh. Oh. Raining now. Awesome. Love a good rain. Bring the thunder, too. Come on, baby. Do it properly. Come on, Matty. That's dinner, man. Bring him in. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy, easy. Bring him in. Yeah, buddy. Dinner's served. Yes, sir. So snug here. That looks super dark. Something ominous is coming again. Better go back to camp. Nope. The rain's already here. And it looks like it could be a big one. The wind's picking up. So for safety reasons, back to camp. Really coming down now. I think we're in for a thunderstorm. Big one. Right in time. Wow. So much rain already. Look how much is coming off the tarp. Could you fill your bottle from here, mate? Look at this. Look at the tarp right there. It's raining so much, man. And I think it's going to be even heavier. I think it's going to be even heavier. Whoa, this is definitely trolling territory. Amazing tailwind from the southeast. Perfect conditions for trolling. Fish on, buddy. Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh, it's bleeding. No, he's off. Ah. Well, that wraps up another fantastic day. Fantastic adventure. What a privilege it has been to be out here in the finest of Scottish wilderness. And to experience that with my buddy Matt made it all that much better. Fantastic fishing. Incredible views. Beautiful, pristine wilderness. And real privilege to have witnessed it. We got a 7km hike back to the car now, most of it on the road. Thanks for watching as always, guys. And see you on the next one. Over and out.
