- Solo Mountain Summit Wild Camp in the Scottish Highlands in wintery conditions. In this video we are hiking up Beinn Suidhe from the Bridge of Orchy for a winter summit wild camp. Beinn Suidhe is 676m high and towers above Loch Dochard.
Loved the new small details you mixed in with hight and name of the mountains!
Thank you for this video. At just two minutes, already the scenery is magnificent.
Absolutely beautiful area! Thanks a lot for watching 👍
Yea the feeling of putting damp clothes on in the morning is something that we never get used to lol
Yeah very true, always a pleasure 🤣
Hard Core 💪
I only get to the lake district I but I do watch a lot of Scotland and you are by my favourite creator I love you stripey 🌓🌓🌓
Oh wow! Thank you very much Micah ☺️
Hi Stripey 👋. From the top of the mountain to the bottom, it’s like two different worlds. Totally white up there, looked amazing. Thanks for sharing Stripey. Serk
Hi Serk 👋,
was a good feeling when I finally broke through the cloud. Was a pretty hard cut which I haven't seen often before 🤩👍.
Thanks a lot Serk!

Brilliant watching your wild camp from comfort of home! Thank you and please keep going.👍🙂
Thanks a lot Craig 👍
Great one again. 👍.
Simply wonderful!
Thank you Mario 👍
What a super trip. Great to get away from the usual tops. That one had super views, well whilst you could see them. Love your minimalist approach. It certainly works well for you. Good to be forewarned that there was likely some snow. As you mentioned good to know there was a safe way down if, and as there was, a covering. Great video Stripey.
Thanks a lot Charles! Yeah that steep grass hill down would have been horrible slippy - if I wouldn't have been able to see the other path down, I would have gone down again - too sketchy for me 😂
Cheers
Stripey
@@StripeyHatGuy yeah well worth being sure you could get off OK. Good you could stay up overnight.
Fantastic video Stripey! Thanks a lot for sharing you adventures 👍
Thanks a lot MaliceGla, was a great wild camp 🤩
A good camp this one and little sprinkling of snow. always like the DCF MLD often regret getting rid of it. Nothing better than waking up to those views in the morning! cheers for sharing. ATB Steven
Another amazing video. Beautifully filmed. Thank you :)
I loved this one Stripey. A cracking walk and brilliant pitch. What a treat to have the snow too. Just the best of wild camping for me. Keep doing what you're doing
Thanks a lot Graham! Yeah absolutely, this wild camp had just everything for me in it as well 👍
cheers

I take my hat of to you putting the wet socks back first thing in the morning (torture), I can’t do that anymore. Back in the 80s I was working on a oil tanker in Brest France were I wore rubber salopettes every day which leaked in the crude oil. Every morning for months I had to put on oil sodden socks .sounds funny but eventually it becomes very painful. I always take spare everything now .🥶Well done Stripey.Cheers James
Thanks a lot James! I can only imagine how horrible that must have been 😐. Yeah socks for changing are quite a nice thing but my trail runners aren't waterproof so it would help me only the first 5 minutes...therefore in summer I can walk them fairly quick dry ☺️.
Cheers
Stripey
Always enjoy your videos I don’t wild camp myself but i love what you do hard to believe looking at your tent that it being so light and fragile it’s capable of providing you shelter in such harsh conditions amazing.
Thanks a lot Kevin! Yeah it is quite a sturdy little thing... pretty impressive 😎
Your adventures are unparalleled. love the video!
Oh wow, thank you very much John!
Looked cold Stripey!! Nice wee video to start the weekend. Paul
Thanks a lot Paul! wish you a good weekend 👍
Great camp again some nice views and solitude
Just love how light you travel it’s something I only dream of as I always take a bit much !!!
Cheers
Thanks a lot. Best tip is which I can give is make a list of the stuff you take before you go and tick them after the tour off, if you used them. The best way to lighten the pack is taking just the stuff you need 😎👍
Enyoyable video. Such a beautiful area.
Thank you very much Jennifer 👍
Brilliant mate stunning area very jealous 👍
Thanks a lot Dave! ☺️
Best video yet for me. Incredible scenery and walk in and love your cooking set up. I made puck stoves as per your video for me and my three hiking chums and they work beautifully. Combined with the Fusion ti-tri they boil 200ml of water just using a crazy 8gm of fuel! Thank you.
Thank you very much Mark! Makes me really happy to hear that you made the stove and use it, best feedback ever 🙌👍
Really enjoyed this
Thanks a lot 😊
It’s like a wild camping glass bottom boat for looking at the ticks n sheep shit
Makes you feel like David Attenborough 😂😂😂
Nice video..
Thanks a lot!
Brrrrrr looked a cold one Stripey. Cracking wee hill for a camp tho. 👍
Yeah kind of but for sure not as cold as the forecast said. Definitely a good looking hill from this approach side 😎👍
Another brilliant camp stripey! Thanks for taking us along.
Stay safe and well,
Adge.
Great video. Love your style. Thanks for making it.
Thank you very much Lee!
Good stuff Stripey , looked a good hill that one , I’ll probably visit it myself sometime. It’s a lovely area in there I’m thinking on doing the Munro Beinn nan Aighenan from this side . Excellent video and nice editing mate .. cheers Stevie
Thanks a lot Stevie! Yeah a lot of interesting routes from that side, could easily fill a weekend 😎
Cracking video again Stripey. Such stunning views on the way in. Not so much on the way down but still great to be out all the same. Thanks for sharing as always. 😀🥾🏔️🏴
Thank you very much Dave! Yeah it had a bit of everything 👍
You are a real Mountain Man, great videographer and expert hiker. You’re always so filled with joy, with your big smile and completely unfazed by anything nature throws your way! Your videos are beautiful and they capture the majesty and awe inspiring forces of nature. I laugh out loud when you refer to sub zero temperatures as “fresh” 😂Here in Colorado we call it winter😄I came across your video by chance and now I’ve subscribed. I plan to catch up and binge on all your videos. Thank you for sharing your amazing hikes. Love your channel!
Thank you so much Rose, that is a really nice thing to say 😊
Recently bought some 100% coco chocolate. It's great in small chunks and has a really powerful taste.
That had a great wild feel about it and I love how dialled in your ultralight set up is even in winter ❄️⛄
Thanks a lot Andrew 😊
Brilliant tour Stripey 😍👍..Amazing views and and a brilliant Wild Camp.The lightweight set up is superb mate 😁👌🏻.Top video Stripey 😍.
Cheers
Robert
Thanks a lot Robert!
Nice one Stripey!!!Always a privilege to share a peek into your part of the world!!! Cheers!!!!
Thanks a lot!
Cheers Stripey! Love the varied conditions at this time of year. J👍
Thank you very much James!
Excellent video Stripey. I don't know how you get the energy to position the camera and walk up and down between shots. But the hard work pays off. All the best.
Thank you very much Benjamin! Everyone wants to show something different in his videos, I really love the scenery in Scotland 😎👍
Good stuff again Stripey. I've started using a SOL / Adventure Medical Kits emergency bivvy bag as a groundsheet / footprint. Like you I reinforced the corners with gaffer tape so I can peg it down. It packs much smaller than a Tyvek or ready made footprint and can still be used for its original purpose.
Good idea mate 🙌. What is your experience with the durability?
@@StripeyHatGuy No problems so far. It's quite robust material and if you keep it as a bag then you get a double later. I think it would puncture if you layed on anything sharp - so don't lay on anything sharp!
Sounds good! Like your thinking 😁
@@StripeyHatGuy It's a good bit of emergency kit to have anyway, so nothing lost even if you don't use it as a groundsheet.
Only downside is that it is tricky to get back into its bag once you've unrolled it, but I usually just fold it up then repack it properly once I get home. Takes up little space even out of its stuff bag.
PS the cone windshield looks good 👍
Really need to have a look in one of the old first aid kits from the car…maybe air still have one for a try!
Thanks a lot, finished last week the cad file - laser cutter is the next step 😎
Some great views there Stripey… for a while.
Yeah definitely 👍
interesting looking fell shoes - what are they?
(loving your videos still...keep them coming!)
Hi Doug 👋,
these are the altra Mont Blanc BOA. Slightly stiffer than my Olympus 4, about the durability I can’t say really anything yet. In my Gear List video I show them a bit better and why I choose them.
Cheers
Stripey
Polycro is brilliant as an ultra lightweight and durable groundsheet 👍
mmmh not sure tbh. Mine has already two tears after just one usage. Might be worth trying the 1.5 version instead of the 0.7 for my usage, but I am a kind of reluctant even for the weight savings in comparison to my Silnylon bathtub...
Are those public land? I saw the close gate that's why I'm asking. Do you need a permit to hike? I see sometimes a herd of animals so if public can they use it to pasture a herd? Just curious about it; I like very much your videos great work.
Hi Alvin,
thank you very much. In Scotland you are allowed to cross public land for recreational purposes. Obviously you need to behave like a normal person when doing so.

nice wee walk, but that mist kinda makes it a bit scary navigating down.
Yeah definitely, but thankfully I was able to see the way fairly good down on the day before and knew that it was more or less just down next to a burn. if I wouldn't have seen this before, I would not have slept the night on top 😎
@@StripeyHatGuy yeah, i've just learnt my lesson about going off the path, nearly broke my leg just above the knee on arran, bent my pole, which saved my leg, and i just saw wildbeare get a big fright on a welsh mountain bog. so, i'm gonna leave the tough stuff to people like you who know what they are doing with a map hehehe.
Oh my god, glad to hear that just the pole bent/broke and not your leg! Accidents can happen to everyone, doesn't matter how experienced they are...I think I could fill a good leaflet with things that I saw or experienced myself 😏
What an adventure! I am curious, you use a tent with no sewn in ground sheet, does the wind and snow not enter the tent?? But regardless it was certainly 'a winter summit camp'!
Hi Gordon 👋, the pitch was a little lower than the direction where the wind was coming from. That means that the wind was rather blowing against the tent than underneath it 👍
Interesting footwear choice, what are they?
Hi LR Disco 👋,
the shoes I am wearing here are the Altra Mont Blanc BOA, talked in my gear video a little about them 👍
How do you defend against the ticks? I'd love to do this, but just the thought of them freaks me the fuck out and I've heard they're on the rise?
Do u have a link for your cooking set
Hopefully soon 😎. It is a self built one, have a more or less recent video on the current status 👍
What a great accent, quality video aswell
Thanks a lot Matt!

Hey there stripey..
How have you found yourself living in Scotland? What is your vocation? ? Don't get us wrong. We're so glad you've made your home among us. But the people need to know. 🙏🦧
I'm sure it wasnt for all the nasty critters ( ticks, midges) 😁
😂
Hi Fraser,
I really like Scotland, some things are not as good as in other countries where I lived, a lot of things are much better and the people and nature is just fantastic + half of my family is from here 😉.
I am active in the entrepreneurial space, mainly in the engineering and IT space.
Cheers
Stripey
