Bivvy wild camping in the Kilpatrick Hills | Loch Humphrey
Another gorgeous and warm day. You can park at the bottom of the hill in Old Kilpatrick Braes car park and then it's a fine walk, with about a 30 minute steep part, to the spot. About an hour all in. You have some cracking views of the central belt at the top all the way to Greenock. We arrived about 4pm, got our camp site set up, and then did some bushcrafting. Temperatures were chilly at night, but it was a remarkable warm sleep. My first time wild camping in the Kilpatrick Hills and at Loch Humphrey and when it's not busy, it's a great little spot! Also missed my bivvy, so here's for more adventures with it next winter! Plenty of wood, plenty of spots, gorgeous views, and a lovely loch :)
Look after yourselves, and again, thanks for the kind messages regarding my health x

Great Vlog Monty! Make Nicky a permanent fixture! Jambalaya looked amazing too.
Thank you Bear Paws :D Nicky will feature in more!
Great vid Monty. Stunning scenery. 👍
Thank you Darren
I own one Black Ice sleep bag too. Although it's Chinese brand, it's warm and light weight.
Very underrated. I feel like doing a review on it. Do you have any feedback to share?
Hi Monty, I bumped into you on your way up to this camp. Great to meet you and glad you had a good night. Keep doing what you're doing, all the best!
It was a pleasure to meet you Danny and thanks again for all the support mate. I hope you're able to get out camping bud!
Thank you Monty - I enjoyed watching the vlog with Nicky camping along with you. Nice to see some good weather, for me it makes camping more enjoyable. see you on the live tomorrow night. Regards Terry.
Cheers Terry. Oor Nicky will be out more often with the gang! Take care big man.
Good video i enjoyed watching it ;)
Glad you enjoyed it Ste :D
Loved the video monty n shout out to NICKY
Cheers Terry mate :D
Loved the drone footage too monty
Mmmmmmmm fresh yiu, 😍😍😍
Thanks lol
There ye go. It only took you a few year n someone to make you it. Finally a decent dinner
😂 Mate am like Gordon Ramsey in the hoose.
Looked a brilliant wee camp guys 👍👏
Cheers big man
I love this site. The trees, the lake. Just so pretty! Nice video! Awesome company. Just very relaxing! Have you ever run into people who were a bit sketchy?
Cheers Lynn! And I once ran into an unresponsive person but never a sketchy person. The unresponsive person, well thankfully I was camping near a police academy lol. We reckon they were under a lot of valium plus alcohol.
Nice Setup - The Killies are my go to place for a quickie camp...Keep up the good work Bud!
Cheers bud. Anywhere else you'd recommend?
@@MontyOutdoors If you are on about the Killies, Then Greenlands 1 or Ggreenlands 2 or brown hill - all have wood, or have a wee look at my vids for longer walks in Lomond hills...less wood though👍
Hi Monty.Great wee video.It`s a beautiful location and the weather was perfect for the bivvi bag .I have not forgotten about the tent.It`s still buried in a large cupboard and i have a lot of other suff on the menu at the moment but i can assure you that it`s going to be yours at some point in the near future.I don`t think , i know that your going to love this tent , and for your backpacking hill trips you can`t really go wrong with this trusty old reliable tent which NEVER let me down once and believe me it`s been out in some horrendous conditions.I will be in touch nearer the time. ABT
Great to hear it tickled all the pickles Graeme lol. Mate am buzzing to see what tent this is. But take your time Graeme, plenty of days for me to go camping in a new tent :) Cheers again, sir!
I’m plenty old to remember willow the wisp
Still yet to Google it... lol. I'll do it now.
Do not recall it haha
Well done monty not scared of the beast that lives up there brave man lol
... the what now lol?
That was great Monty. And your camp mate on this trip was more pleasing on the eye than wee Gaz the Explorer! In fact you both reminded me of Shrek and Fiona on their way to Duloc!! 🐦🐝🐦🐝
Right, so Isla like's the look of our Nicky, Gaz isn't as attractive, and I remind you of Shrek lol 😂 Oor Isla is coming out her shell here :P
Lol
That looks a stunning spot and ashamed to say in all my days living in Glasgow i've never been there. Another reason why these videos are so good. Good to see you mixing it up in a bivvy, inspiring me to do one this year. Thanks for taking the time to share this 👍
Mark, I wish you all the best on your adventures mate. Any advice needed, drop us a message sir. And no problem and thanks for the support mate.
Another great camp and great video
Thank you Monty
Glad you enjoyed it, Paul. Thanks :)
Look forward to watching this 😊👍
Hope you enjoyed it! x
Monty! We camped here on the night of the 26th! I remember walking along the path and looking up to see a tent up in the trees.
That was us mate. We were there on the 26th too. Were there 2 of you?
@@MontyOutdoors Yeah there were two of us! We ended up camping further along the path at the next reservoir with a lot of frogs.
Really cool to see you kicking about with long hair Monty. 👍👍You really suite it sir.
I plan on growing it longer... hoping to look like Johnny Depp lol.
Great wee video this week
Thank you :D
You timed that camp perfectly mate bloody cold now, another enjoyable video Monty....nice one 👍

Aw mate, you've got it too? Do you still have the poles? And cheers good lookin' ;)
@@MontyOutdoors yeah mine is intact with poles etc mate. ✊🏻🏴
Lovely, I do miss the rainy ones though!
Another dry weekend, Stella lol. Spring is our driest time of the year recently :(
@@MontyOutdoors the audacity of spring to be nice dry weather! Hopefully a rainy one again soon 😊
Oh that is beautiful! Awesome company too! Great video as always and the views still astound me, just amazing. Dinner looked heavenly! Willow must be an experienced camper :) Nicky's tent is awesome! I apologise I missed the live couldn't be helped but I look forward to it next Friday!
Thank you for your awesome support as usual Oor Jana :D And Willow is just a remarkably friendly wee dug, I want her lol. And don't apologise, I hope you had an excellent weekend whatever you were doing x!
Ah yes, the distinctive night time mating call of the wee ned
We saw 2 of them disappear into the woods... lol
@@MontyOutdoors to make even weeer neds! 👶
The weather looked awesome, glad you managed to catch that wee warm spell we just had, bloody freezing today haha. More excellent photography and commentary, I always seem to learn something new when I watch your vids. Have just watched Gaz's new vid, it was excellent and am looking forward to seeing you and him in the next installment
I hope for more warm and rain! But dreading tomorrow as it's to be a chilly one where we are going and could see some frost. Glad my videos are helping though and thank you for the donation
Picked a cool week to go as this week's is freezing 🙂.. lovely spot 👍
Ano, and tomorrow!!! Roll on the warm months, Matthew. And thanks for watching mate :).
@@MontyOutdoors I've booked Fforest Fields mid Wales end of month .Can't wait🙂
Amazing video such gorgeous spots ypu find!
Ohhhh, you'll like next weeks, Gillian :)
@@MontyOutdoors great! I've not been able to comment for a while as youtube seemed to block me! I must be bad!
@@gillianmac4987 There's a glitch on YT, other people have been having that problem elsewhere too and lots of people have been unsubscribed against their own will. The admin section on my end is a shocker and never works half the time lol
"There is a bottle of vodka, I will need to take that home" either you are picking up other people's rubbish or a big fan of vodka.
Love the way you cut to other scenes during your chats it keeps the video flowing really nicely.
Looked like a great adventure, I love the nights that spiral out of control the Munro's will be there next weekend. Was it really that sad that you could not find any Enrique Iglesias. Cheers for sharing
Oh wait you said right at the end you were still doing the Munro's, sorry I should have waited 5 more seconds before posting the comment. 🤣
Don't worry. Those biceps though xxx
Good stuff mate although the beasties are a worry, itching to get out now I've got my new mat. Bliddy dear but you got the blame as I was watching the live stream unsupervised.
No beasties during this time of the year or during colder nights mate. Don't bivvy in summer lol. Haha, which one did you go for again? I'm gonna upgrade on the Exped for next winter and get a higher R Value.
@@MontyOutdoors got the xtherm as it seems to always get good reviews, not one more penny can I spend untill I sell some stuff
Good work mate. The other popular part is the black lynn resovoir, seen a few folks camped when iv walked through the hills.
Cheers Kev. And thanks for the info, hoping to do more of the Kilpatrick Hills. Hope you are well.
Thanks Monty, another cracking video and what a lovely spot so close to home. (PS I did watch and enjoy last weeks video but on TV in my caravan in deepest Kent so couldn't comment). Keep well mate.
Danny, you know how much I value your input and support mate, don't worry about last week bud. ATB matey.
Monty you sure living the dream, you go to some amazing places. I was out last sat also and was tiring losing a hours kip and it was the night I fell ill in the tent hence no sleep. Food looked amazing also. Never bivvy camped before, don't think that's for me though. I bet your not looking forward to all them midgys coming back out to cause hell. I've heard how bad it can get up there in Scotland. Guess we a little luckier in that sense, less midgys. Great video as usual monty. Catch you soon 👍
Mate, I'll be battering the midges all about the place with my 95% Deet. They stand no chance lol. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for popping by. Really need to get my backside in gear for your videos, Dai.
brilliant video big man, ill need to get the mrs up there and walk those trails
Cheers sir! It's a class walk. You been out recently mate?
@Monty Outdoors aye mate, just walks and exploring recently, putting pics up over on Instagram. I'll he out camping soon and get some videos up.
Nice one, enjoyed that, I bought a bivvi bag a wee while back but still to get enough bottle to go out and try it, first time.
Cracking location, enjoyed the filming 👍
Do you have a tarp? Ideally you want to use it in the colder nights so you don't get attacked by beasties lol. A tarp does offer privacy which makes the experience easier and blocks wind. Good luck mate and thanks for supporting the channel as per :)
@@MontyOutdoors yeah, I got a dd super lite, used it for shelter on the hills, cooking in the winter etc.
Looking forward to practicing soon and actually using it for a camp…
Not be long now until another night in the tent, been watching these vids for inspiration 👍
Really enjoyed that, was a nice chilled camp, and you had good company again. I've got the British army bivvi, doesn't seem as capacious as yours, but it's a tough bit of kit 👍
Cheers Ian! And the bivvy bag also comes with poles too, not quite a tent, but it's a big bag!
Great vid sir monty! Not sure about a bivvy myself,hats off to you for using one,ive just come off dartmoor for two nights and ws testing my new deuter astro 900 bag,so glad i got it,super warm as it was ice and mist all night through to the morning!
And the mighty gaz the other day too,great stuff from the pair of you guys 👍👍👍
Deuter are so underrated in the UK, I believe they are massive in the EU, but a phenomenal brand. I love my Exosphere. Glad you had a great experience Pete!
Looked a great spot and the weather was stunning for the little time it lasted back to snow and freezing temps here hopefully it's the last of it though. I was in the lakes with my summer set up but will be back in winter mode this weekend.
Ano mate. 2 days of snow! But I am buzzing for the warmth lol, still don't mind the rain though :). How was your experience in the lakes and where did you go? I'm off to the Lakes in summer :).
@@MontyOutdoors it was great the weather was really warm and no wind I'm there again this weekend I was in borrowdale around Bessy boot
Beautiful pylons, so nice to see them roaming free in their natural environment. If you visit in windy weather you can often hear them sing their mournful tune.
Wild Camping next to a Wild Pylon vid in future mate lol.
On the wild country tents, I'm sure the extra eyelet was so you could give the tent pole more tension, there is not more clips for holding more poles around the tent. Great video, cracking spot, keep it up big man.
John! I never checked, I just assumed there was another eyelet on the other end which is found in some tents. I'll pass the information along and thank you so much for highlighting this. I can't go about spreading misinformation. And thanks for watching and taking your time to comment also. Appreciated mate.
Nice one Monty. 👍 Never tried a bivvy myself, always thought it would be uncomfortable.
Cheers mate and bivvy camps are the best/warmest in my experience. Try it outside midgie season mate!
Lovely area Monty, there must be some trout in all those lochs in the area? Do u ever fish, o
are your not a fisher person? Any who , (LOL) looks like such lovely country. Keep on campin Mate. Cheers from B.C. Canada .The wet coast.
As a Kilpatrick in the States I've often wondered about that name on the map. Thanks!
Maybe your ancestors are from that area!
Enjoyed the video Monty 😁👍..Loch Humphrey is a cracking place..Iam going to get that Dutch Army Bivy bag as my Mammut one is really good but a bit tight and can be a nightmare to get out for a pish😁
Atb
Robert
The Dutchy Army is huge mate, after double checking, weighs like 1.6kg lol. Hope you are well bud and thanks for watching!
@@MontyOutdoors 😁👍
Another cool video Monty :-) You might have given your friend a hand up at 1.08 mate, lol...She has same tent as me :-)
She's a strong independent woman who don't need no man lol. How have you found it? Any faults? Robust? Hope you are well sir!
Top class mate another belta. You rekon the bivvy was as comfy as your tent ? U had perfect weather and an awesome place to camp looks like you both had a blast !!! What did the pooch rekon lol. Keep em coming mate love your vuds ATB Simon
Bivvy's when you are all wrapped up and going to bed are warmer, but overall, a tent is more convenient. And the wee dog is a brilliant wee dog, one of the best wee dogs I've ever met and she loved it!
Cheers Simon! Hope you are well mate and thanks again!
Wow! Just when you thought the scenery in Scotland couldn’t get any nicer! What a great place to camp. Do you have any issues with Midges, Monty? Or is camping in summer in Scotland just not a good idea?
Thanks Richard and not really. A combination of fires and 95% deet keeps them at bay. That and rubbish weather lol. But I have been covered in them to the point their bite marks prevented me from sleeping... Midges are out between end of May to beginning of September, but only in conditions with no rain or wind and between certain temperatures. They can be avoided.
Monty! It’s been a while how you been, hope all is well? Nice to see you again and your ‘friend’ - is this back you on the scene? Av tried to join lives but sadly not been subscribed long enough. hopefully al see you at some point
I've took that feature off mate, so you should be able to join tonight :). Keeping well here mate, how are you? And I am not on any scene and staying away from all scenes lol. That' oor Nicky Whyte from the live streams!
Great video Monty was that your heavy choons in the background at around 12:20?!
Heavy techno bird chipping?
@@MontyOutdoors weird I can't hear it from phone but was watching this with headphones on and it sounded like banging bass from a distance! I was thinking youngteam and happy hardcore!
Dude, Live Stream this Saturday?
Tonight mate :)
Hi monty im going camping in galloway forest at easter would me and my girlfriend be able to meet you
Sadly I'm up north with friends, Patrick. Where are you and your GF off to? I hope you have a great time!
@@MontyOutdoors we are going to loch ricaur
Are you there now??
In the hoose mate lol. When are you back?
