The Invisible Camper
United Kingdom
Registrace 26. 10. 2023
I'm a wild camper who likes to keep it low key - on foot, on my bike or motorcycle and even in my van I get out in Scotland's wonderful countryside and have a good old stealth camping adventure.
I am also a bit of a History 'Nerd' - I love to discover the history of the places I camp.
I occasionally do a kit review, motovlog or "how to" video which I put on my other channel : www.youtube.com/@ThePonkster

Beautiful video brother 👍👍🤙🤙🤙
Thanks D - how you keeping?
Last time I was in Caithness was back in 2000. Camster cairns, I remember visiting those and many others before reaching Orkney isles. Ace part of Scotland. Great vid 🙂
I'm glad you enjoyed the video - the cairns are not that well known and as they are just off the NC500 I'm amazed they are not mobbed! Thanks for your comment.
Hello Chris. I always wrap something around my pot noodle to keep it warm for about ten to fifteen minutes the I add the soy sauce.
Great tip Simon - thanks for leaving a comment.
Excellent insights and music.
Thanks , Im glad you enjoyed the video - I'm never sure if people will like my choice in music.
Great video! I really enjoyed it. The history of the castle was very interesting. I'm still curious why eventually it got abandoned.
I think the family didn't want to live there anymore and they had plenty of other property- it was not sold as it is smack in the middle of the estate.
@@theinvisiblecamper I can't imagine having a choice like that. 😋
Great spot and of course ...... noodles hahaha
It is an amazing castle. Got to do the noodles - I camp mainly to eat unhealthy food 😆
Top videos 👍keep it up 👍👍
Thanks, will do! Glad you are enjoying them. Thanks for leaving a comment
luv the history content with the camp i am a Doon hammer 🤔👍
Glad you are enjoying the vids - some great history round Dumfries.
@@theinvisiblecamperthere is that border reivers Robert the bruce kirkpatrick mcmillan which my wife is his graet great great and I think one more great grand daughter of the man that invented the bicycle great channel 👍
Try a Naga Curry Mate, Now there HOT 😢😅😂 Nice vid mate
I think that would melt my head🥵 - Im glad you like the vids.
Spot on, great location and great camp,,,,,,keep the spam though 🤣🤣🤣 🤮
A brilliant spot only 5 minutes from home - I'm a lucky boy. I'll have you know that SPAM is the food of the gods!👍🤣
You brought up something I have never thought about. Cops arresting my wife for something I did? WOW!!! I don't know how I would have responded to that????????? I will have to put some thought into it!!! Glad everything turned out ok. You just lost some sleep!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless
I think you just have to watch where you park and leave a note - that way they are not knocking on your door when you are not there. Thanks for your comment.
Nice setting and great location. Them damn wee beasties 🪰
It's a great spot - It's unusual to get midges here due to the windy conditions, but on the rare day it is dead still they appear! Thanks for leaving a comment 👍
coastal island , as opposed to an inland island ?
Yes - there are lots of inland islands in Scotland on the lochs and rivers
Great video as always, thanks for bringing us along 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Johnny - thanks for leaving a comment😀
Great video mate and it’s not often the North Sea is that calm - I worked in it for years. Looking forward to seeing you trying the same spot in January - guaranteed there’ll be no midges then 😂
Yep it was a still day - I may well go back in the winter - just not too close to the edge with the tent🤣
GOOD VIDEO MATE. GLAD YOU KEPT GOING. TAKE CARE
Thanks Barry - glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks
Great video..very interesting as I've lived in the area all my life..especially the grave robbing, keep it up .very informative, thanks for uploading
Thanks John - Im glad you are enjoying my adventures
In my twenties I walked Offas Dyke North to South, 3 days in and found a suitable camping spot on farmland, I asked permission to camp at the farmhouse a quarter mile down the lane and then I looked around for place to gather some water, I found a fast flowing stream and filled my water bottle , in those days you would use purifying tablets that you would drop in your water, no sawyer filters or similar, anyway returned to my tent and always as a secondary precaution I would boil my water before use, but as it had been a warm day and the water looked crystal clear I decided it would safe to drink, no problems, retired to my sleeping bag, in the early hours I was being very sick, sweating, Diarrhoea and feeling lousy, I decided to walk the short distance to the farmhouse to see if they had a phone and if I could get some medical help, The farmer who was very helpful got his wife to take me to hospital whilst he went and gathered all my belongings and tent etc and put them in the dry barn, I was in hospital for three days, eventually feeling well enough to resume my walk the farmer collected me and I gathered my belongings, before I departed he asked me to walk back and show him where I had taken the water from, when we got there he asked me to walk upstream of the collection area and lying in the stream was a maggot infested carcass of a rotting sheep, he had become mangled in barbed wire and was unable to get free, so after that I went and resumed my long distance walks but always checked very carefully that the stream was clear above where I intended to take my water from, so I take your point about bacteria and other nasties that linger in what you would think is pure, Good video by the way, 71 now and my LDW days are over , nowadays its a mobility scooter around the local park, but I still have a Brita jug filter to put in my water bottle to keep in my seat bag when I am out and about
I agree - when it comes to water you cant be too safe. Generally I carry all my water in unless I know there is a safe water source and even then I will bring in some back up water. When it comes to water treatment I take the belt and braces approach - I filter with a top end bit of kit, I then use military grade oasis purification tabs and then most of the time the water is also boiled. Thanks for your comment.
Great location and history enjoying your content
Much appreciated - Im glad you are enjoying them. Hackley Bay is a brilliant spot which I will return to for another camp in the future.
Again a great history lesson thank you
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for leaving a comment
Enjoyed the history of this video bud , Mick from Hampshire outdoors and survival put me onto your channel nice work
I'm glad you enjoyed the video - I will thank Mick for the mention👍
Great video mate, thanks for sharing. The info about why bunkers are there was fascinating. Good campsite too, shame about the cop bit! Ive subbed!
Thanks for the Sub and comment - glad you enjoyed it. I don't usually get bothered by the cops - I take a little more time picking my parking spot these days.
My first time watching and I love it
Thanks Anthony - I don't "fall out" with the police in all of my videos, but I do go to some interesting places. Thanks for your comment.
Imagine trying to explain to those folks in the 1600’s a guy with a beard is going to sleep here, record it and then put it on the internet for people all around the world to see - their heads would fall off 🤯🔮📱
I sometimes have difficulty getting my own head around it ! Thanks for your comment Johnny👍
Great story on the history 👍
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for leaving a comment
Well researched - I learnt a lot - thanks for posting - have subbed! 😀
Thanks for the sub - Im glad you enjoyed the video👍
Ok i subbed a few days ago and now im binging from the first video… whats the medieval music similar too? Its so familiar… damn you ai music snippets
The music is modern Scottish Folk Music - its called Achaidh Cheide by Kevin MacLeod . Im glad you are enjoying the channel and thanks for the sub. Here is a link to the full music track czcams.com/video/2LPysV7DLBw/video.html
Legend thanks
all good fella! i use a Trangia knock off - works well enough, obligatory noodles. I have the same tent - I pitch it out tight at the rear - ping test - does a coin bounce off the top like a drum?
Thanks for your comment👍
No spicy noodles?
As soon as I got home🤣
Spicy noodles for a change, love it
I started to see a pattern forming🤣
Cracking stretch of beach
A real gem of a bay
👍👍

At one with nature, can’t beat it
An amazingly wild place - I loved my trip there.
Very interesting video and a poignant reminder what the allied forces went through 80 years ago. Thanks for sharing
Im glad you enjoyed it Brian - it was an amazing place with a history that is little known
Good video Chris enjoyed the history lesson, all the comforts of home. Well done litter picking at the end. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it- thanks for leaving a comment
Kool history info, thank you 👌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, enjoyed the local history as well, as to the person turning up just as you are about to set up, that has happened to me more time than I can remember, no one around for like an hour or so then out of nowhere a dog walker turns up, happy days.(lol).
Glad you enjoyed it - dog walkers are the scourge of the stealth camper, although I cant be too critical as most days I am one🤣 Thanks for leaving a comment.
Thanks, excellently told . I thought it was Burke and Hare mainly, with a few more in Edinburgh! Nice catch phrase " nobody needs to see me do that" 😊
Glad you enjoyed it👍
I’m a big stone circle geek. My favourite is Clava Cairns which is more complex than a simple circle. Can’t wait to be back up there later this month. Another great video 🎉
Somehow I missed this on my subscription feed but it came up on my general feed. Another very informative and interesting video. Thank you. I never knew this was a thing but makes complete sense.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the short history lesson. Winner, winner, kimchi chicken dinner.
Glad you enjoyed it - gota love a chicken Kimchi👍
Great history and lovely site mate, worth a visit
Glad you enjoyed it Rev - thanks for leaving a comment😀
