Yesterday, I was thinking, ‘Alex hasn’t uploaded in a while’ and here we are!
Same!!
Awesome upload 🫶👍
Worth waiting for😁
Same here 😅 I’ve been thinking that for awhile😅
There's always more to his videos than just a "staying at a cabin" and I think that's wonderful! 😁
Agreed
Hi Alex! Freediver here. I absolutely applaud you for making the most of the proximity to the loch but you should always try to avoid diving alone. Shallow water blackout can always catch you out and this could be fatal if you don't have a buddy. I'd also double check your weight belt to ensure you're not over weighted - again if you get into trouble you don't want too much weight on your waist. A good way to check is to put the belt on with all the equipment, position yourself upright in the water toes pointing down and completely exhale. If you're properly weighted your mask should just be under the surface of the water. Too heavy and you'll continue to sink, too light and you'll be bobbing with your head above the surface. ANYWAY - lecture over. Hit me up if you ever want a diving buddy - cheers!
+1 to see this video!
Is there no cameraman at all?
Jeez, there's always one out there. It must hurt to be that pedantic.
Not sure why I'm taking notes, I've never dived in my life, but this was a good advice lol
@@namenl2205haha me too!!!
Love this video Alex. Your videos are so calming and informative with great filming. I'm trying not to be irritated by the comment below that this cabin experience is so 'middle class'. We all watch You Tube videos for different reasons, for information and enjoyment. Just because I, for instance, really enjoy good crime documentaries, it doesn't mean that I'm a criminal or potential serial killer (at the age of 77 its too late to pursue a criminal career 😂). I also love wild nature even though I can no longer explore a wilderness, go camping and attempt to ascend a rocky outlook. It is better to look into and enjoy other peoples worlds and experiences in order to have a wider understanding and outlook on life. Carry on as you have been doing Alex, don't be swayed by others who would stop following you. Your number of subscribers tells us that you are doing great.
Looks lovely and peaceful. Just what I need.
I love how he is so humble and apreciating.
Good video Alex, really enjoyed it. Made me want to stay here. Clicked the link and was a bit disappointed tbh. No children allowed, max of 2 people to stay here, no friends allowed to visit, earliest check in 3.30pm, check out by 10.30am, minimum 2 night stay @ £235 a night. That £470 for 43 hours of cabin use. I guess if you can afford that for 2 nights and have extra money for all your food, plus don't have kids it would be a nice experience.
Scotland is on my bucket list... not too far to travel from Wales.
Alex you're adorable - the loch is slightly over seasoned. Classic!
Oysters are a very expensive mouthwash. I've never tried cooked oysters.
Another totally beautiful experience watching your video. Live, love, laugh.
Namaste, Alex
I feel like Alex would be the coolest guy to hang out with like he's just so fun and creative and I just keep learning more and more about all kinds of stuff ,stay strong brother ❤
Yeah man. He's just so pure
You are such a vibe man, I love seeing another person my age having the same hobbies and loving nature.
Great video Alex ,keep being you and uploading whatever makes you happy!
Totally 💯 agree 🫶🙌😁
What a storyteller! Thoroughly enjoyed this one with my morning coffee here in San Diego. Thanks, Alex, you smashed it!
What a stunning location, thanks for sharing Alex.
Hey Alex, I've been avidly watching your videos every day since I found your channel about a week ago. I've for some reason found it difficult to find other people interested in all of the things I am (foraging, homesteading, gardening, cooking, travelling). Your videos are largely inspiring as you seem to live the life I hope to begin very soon. Thank you so much for creating such pleasant and positive videos, your curiosity and thirst for knowledge is really lovely :))
I hold the exact same view! It’s quite hard finding people that enjoy these things, but they’re definitely out there 😍
Let's gooooo another video
I want a chill life like you
Great vid!
My partner and I stayed about a mile from Loch Etive 7-11th June. The weather was hot aside from a wonderful thunderstorm on the last night. We also enjoyed some delicious fresh seafood and had magnificent encounters with nature. No midgie bites for us not being near the water in the evenings! Scotland is beautiful and totally underrated 🏴 🦀🦪🦞🦐🌲
I just recently got this channel recommended, and i hate you... Im now sooo hooked on your content!
Love everything you do, and it looks so liberating to go and do stuff like you do.
Keep on being awesome ❤
Your videoes always makes me feel so peaceful.
I used to buy Loch Fyne kippers from Marks & Spencer, deelish. Nice to actually see the Loch they came from. Loving the wildlife too! 😎
There's a few places to see red squirrels in england! Largely islands (Brownsea island is known for it, pretty sure the Isle of Wight too). But also a few heaths and woodlands have managed to somehow keep the greys out. I spent a night on brownsea a number of years ago and saw so many red squirrels!
Wouldn't you just love to go travelling with Alex? Never a dull moment and he'd make you lovely food without having to be asked!
Going through a terrible mix of a break up and depression and your video cheered me up. Only thing that made me smile today
When I see that cabin I feel the need of a vacation
Love watching all your videos! Keep telling your stories and bringing us along on your adventures
Such a chill video. Love Scotland and the local produce. Nice
wonderful place, scenery and great video all around! brilliant sir!
Another great video!! Thanks for sharing your adventures. I look forward to the next one.
Top notch Alex!
What a cabin.. that spot looks amazing 👌🏼
Beautiful location, and the food looked lovely. Great video mate
Wonderful video with amazing shots. Very well done, I am honestly impressed.
love these remote cabin videos :D hope your well Alex keep smashing life 👌
Well done, thank you for sharing
I just love your videos! I found you like 2 months ago and binge watched everything. Thank you for the great content Alex!
Excellent content Alex, love Scotland 🏴
This was awesome! I’m going to Scotland in September and I’ll definitely look into staying here, thanks!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Really love your passion for experiencing life the way you do. I wish I'd done more of this when I was younger. Good for you 👊🏻
Great informative video Alex. It’s summer and there are a lot of places to visit. So, keep ‘em coming😊❤!
i love your vids! thank you for sharing your slices of life with us ❤️
I can’t express how much I love these videos ❤
Love this video Alex. Nice to see u again.
Great tae see my wee country in its glory 💙 I’ve spent a lot of my summers up Loch Fyne fishing and camping just up from furnace and the old quarry. Beautiful part of the world
Fantastic video Alex. I really enjoy this type of content 👍
Love your videos Alex!! Thank you 🙏🏼. I know a lot of work goes into them!
As with all your videos I love it! Keep them coming mate, your a natural. To old now to do all these adventurous things but love experiencing them through you skilled cinematic and narrative content.
Great that you managed to visit Fyne Ales , cracking video and lovely part of the Uk
Thank you so much for showing us such beautiful and interesting places, much love from austria mate 🙂
My goodness your videos are such a great and cozy time! Love them! You are without a doubt my favorite creator ❤ Wish you the best time in Scotland!
Another great video Alex😊 Your long apprenticeship with Carl means you make them so professionally that the content shines through. What a great way to spend a few days in such a beautiful spot.. I fondly remember a similar stay in a cabin on Loch Awe and if the midges are the only negative you know you're having a great time. Keep living the dream. All the best bud
My first visit to Scotland was also at Looch Fine, it's beautiful there and you can fish well both on the looch itself and with a fly for trout on the streams or reservoirs, but almost 25 years have passed
Lovely video Alex, very high quality throughout, b roll, music selection, angles and editing. 👍
Really amazing content, admirations for the ease you do it with! At least it looks like that .
Hi Alex, I really love your videos, especially this one. Such a chill vibe, educational, interesting and your personality shines through! Keep it up :)
Man I enjoy watching your videos so much! You seems so happy and positive about those little things in life.. Wish I could be like that one day. Love your work!
That was a smashing video Alex, I really enjoyed it. Love Loch Fyne. You always meet such interesting people.
It’s always a pleasure watching your videos Alex ❤
Love theses types of videos ❤
Another incredible video Alex! What a beautiful place. I love a home with lots of windows as well. You can't beat natural light. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers 🍻
I came here to say that your adventures are so inspiring, now i want to go to an off grid cabin on the bank of a lake for a weekend . Awesome stuff man 👍
New subscriber to your channel Alex, I'm having a tough time at the moment and I've found your videos comforting to watch. I love your Britishness and your attitude to life.
Nice one, Alex it looks like a beautiful place. Nice and peaceful and amazing wildlife 😁👍
Love watching your videos ,lots of love from Nairobi, kenya
I've just came back from a 5 day solo camping and kayak fishing trip on the west coast, I stayed near Ballachulish but explored everywhere within a 100 mile radius and it was amazing...i do it 3-4 times a year 😁
Very lovely, especially the fishing, I like how you use your rod.👍
Alex another great video. I’ve been watching a while now and love everything your doing keep going and maybe some more cooking please.
It’s great to see you expanding your talents especially as your going to have all those veg to cook soon.
May I humbly suggest Alex’s guide to roast potatoes, chips, as someone who’s cooked all his life but now can’t it’s lovely to see how other people do things. Take care matey. Your sincerity will take you far.
Great video sir its a beautiful part of the world you weren't to far away from loch awe to chase the big brownies and pike in it
What a brilliant video Alex. Very interesting 👍 well done.
Another wonderful and interesting video Alex. so great!

Thanks for sharing your adventures, NC USA 🇺🇸
Nice little adventure Alex, cheers!
Awesome vlog as always very enjoyable
We have very similar hobbies, but I always learn something new and interesting from you :D
Thanks for the relaxing, high-quality, informative videos Alex!
Hi Alex! I came across your channel this week and I absolutely love your videos. They are extremely refreshing to watch. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! :)
Thanks for sharing your ventures, we’re lucky Scotland is our doorstep. I feel it’s a bit of you !
Awesome video Alex, see ya next time!
Thanks Alex for making my train commute home fly by!!! 😊
Great video 🤙
Hi Alex, been following your channel since your camper build and travels but iv'e been busy and not watched for a while, wish i knew you were heading to Loch Fyne i used to work at Loch Fyne Oysters and only live a short distance away, would have been great to have met you and shown you some local attractions.
Another great Video keep up the great work 👌
Looks amazing would love to stay somewhere like that 👍
Excellent video as usual.
Great video, place looked amazing
Hola Alex!! Muchas gracias por mostrar estos lugares preciosos y hermosas tiny houses!!
I'm glad for the new video
this is the content i love haven’t seen it in awhile so this is a nice little surprise 😊🫶🏼
really love your videos! keep them coming :)
Amazing holydays in a fantastic location. Thank's for sharing, Alex! Have a nice day!
I like that you have a natural and relax voice speaking on your vlogs , that's when your viewers get the attention of what you were saying ,and i love this kind of vlog , simple and very interesting
Thanks :)
Love your videos 🤗hug from Portugal ❤
Hi Alex, you need to do more videos, whatever you are doing, you seem to make it so interesting that I can’t wait for the next. Keep it up 👍👍
Great video again, Alex.
I love how this is off-grid and so private. More people need to consider living in Tiny Homes like this, and homesteading a little property.
A couple people from my family are headed to England and checked on booking the cabins, but they are booked up during that time they will be there. Bummer!
[2] Should have brought McBoatFace with you and spent a little time on the water fishing from that.
[3] You are very brave to eat oysters. Many generations in my family, had a tradition of having Oyster Stew each year for Christmas Eve Dinner. I couldn't eat it. Made me queasy. That tradition stopped with my parents. But we still do a Seafood Festival on New Years Day. Crab, Lobster, etc.
[3] We do make Beer and Wine on our farm, but a very limited quantity. We grow 1 acre of grapes. My grandparents used it for making jellies and jams. I own their farm now, and make Jellies, jams and wines. We Brew Belgium style Craft beer. SO,, I can't wait for your Beer Video.
We grow organic hops, barley and rye on our family farms, that gets sold to micro-breweries & small distilleries in our Region..
[4] Thank you so much for yet another fun and informative video. My entire family really enjoys them. Gives us all inspiration. Keep them coming. Can't wait for the gardening and Brewing videos. Anticipation, Alex. lol
Thanks for video ! Calm as always, as i love them !
I studied in Scotland and during the all video i was like "Midges!" " Midges!!" "MIDGES !??" Glad you addressed it at the end !
Have a good day
I’m hooked on you and your bros channels I just love this content every vid is pucker 🎉
Me and my wife done something like this a few months ago, we were in Oxford though :) -- Great video mate.
Wonderful video Alex
nice to watcb your videos again alex ❤
I love these kind of episodes.
Hi Alex, I enjoyed this video a lot! I want to watch more of these in your channel. Like going around the world and renting BnB's!
Not the usual kind of video I’d watch but he is great isn’t he? Subscribed 👌🏼
No fish 😂 reminded me of that James may clip cheese, your channel is a gem I always feel good after watching ❤
