Hammock Camping | Loch Ness | Cooking on the Bushbox
It's early summer and Darach and I head back to our local forest for a hammock overnighter. The weather is very warm and the midge have finally arrived.
Thanks as always for watching!

I hope your channel gets the subs it deserves so you keep making these videos. Been going through a rough patch lately. Watching these videos before bed and 🍵 the best wind down for my head. Thank you to you and your pup🙏

Those midges! Don't blame you for not camping for a while afterwards. 2018/19 was horrendous when we lived up there. And you're right, if people watching your videos haven't experienced the midges then good for them!

Not looking forward to the midges this summer.. they get worse every year. People from other countries need to know how bad they are. I remember seeing a Canadian comedian saying he went to Scotland and they had millions of these little invisible wasps 😂

As long as I'm seeing a hammock hang ill be watching. Do yourself a favour and swap out the nylon webbing with a whoopee system and some daisy chain tree huggers, so much better

Interesting how you refer to those pesky little biting insects. "If you … catch the MIDGE on a bad day, it can be horrendous." (23:39). Others in their comments say MIDGES, as I would too. And yet I'd happily use a singular form as plural when telling you that the curlew, rather than curlews, were back on the moorland hereabouts a week earlier than usual this year. It's a weird quirk of English, because it's not the same as 'one sheep - two sheep' or 'one deer - a dozen deer', which are nouns that never add a plural -s. Dropping the -s seems to happen with wild animals that come in herds, flocks and shoals, but I've never heard it applied to insects. 'The horsefly are biting with a vengeance today?' Nah. Oh, I dunno. Say it half a dozen times and it sounds kind of right. That means it's probably the go-to plural for woodsmen ...
