    For everyone asking about the cars - there is a road through the village but not to the village. They get vehicles (and supplies) to Inverie by boat.

    As curiosity inspired by your comment got the better of me, I checked the MOT status of the vehicles shown at 35:10. Not one of them has a valid MOT, with the most recent expiring 3 years ago in 2021. I did some brief reading and vehicles kept in the areas of Eigg, Muck and Knoydart are exempt from MOT due to their lack of a test station. However, you'd still need insurance and road tax as the roads are publicly maintained. If one were to take a vehicle back to "mainland" then it would then need an MOT again.

    Went there a few years ago, walked the Munro's and had a blast apart from the pub which was owned by the most miserable man in the world who wouldn't serve food to hikers and the atmosphere was shit,. The locals were amazing though and a local guy who ran the food shack let us eat in his home. Thankfully the pub is now in the hands of the locals and harmony has been restored to Knoydart. A place you must visit at least once in your life. Great video.

    I had a terrible experience with the most ridiculously grumpy owner of the old forge who very grudgingly served us. He was angry that we only wanted a few non alcoholic drinks before the boat to Mallaig came. (We’re out walking with our young son). It was in the afternoon and empty - you’d think he didn’t want any business. I thought it was only us! Glad things have changed as we vowed never to return after the way he treated us.

We had been wild camping in the hills for a few days and were ready for a good feed. After he refused to serve us a tourist came in and he was served a meal. We left and went to the food shack run by a local who then invited us into his home where he gave us drinks and food. He explained all the locals were boycotting the pub. Thankfully he sold up and the pub is back in the hands of the locals.

    Hello Guys 1st lovely video and big thank you 😊 Little advice from 45 year old wanderer who did a lot of wild river crossings (swamp, flooded areas etc.) Get your footwear off, simply walk bear foot on flat, large stones or if the pebbles are not sharp walk straight through the creek. Hold your stuff as secure as possible (boots can be attached if needed or hidden in backpack top expandable chimney). If possible leave your hand free to have extra balance and support if slipped. Dry, warm boots are a huge advantage especially if you travel over a number of days as wet socks and skin rubs against each other and causes blisters. 2 days is fine but after a few days it gets unbearable and robs your of any joy and in warm climates infections and bugs are drawn by open wounds.

    In the highland realms where mountains stand tall, A tale unfolds of a remote pub's call. The Old Forge in Knoydart, a distant lore, A promise echoes from its rugged shore. Beyond the reach of the bustling street, Where echoes of nature and tranquility meet. A challenge laid, a reward so clear, Free beer awaits if you draw near. Through heathered hills and moors untamed, Where wild whispers are softly named. The Old Forge stands, a welcoming light, A beacon in the remote highland night. Beneath the northern lights' ethereal gleam, A dream of beer, a distant stream. The journey's reward, ales to savor, In the most remote pub's humble flavor. Frost-kissed glasses and tales exchanged, In the Old Forge's warmth, where friendships arranged. A toast to the daring souls who arrive, For free beer flows as stories revive. Through lochs and glens, where adventure weaves, The Old Forge beckons, a promise it leaves. A poetic pub in the highland's embrace, Offering free beer, a remote rendezvous place. So if you seek the challenge and the cheer, To the Old Forge, let your spirit steer. In Knoydart's beauty, where the wild deer roam, Raise a glass to the pub, your heart's new home.

    Good decision not to bash along the ridge. Its pretty tough going in places, and given the wet and windy conditions and your lack of winter gear, good call. For those who haven't spent any time in the teeth of a gale in sleety conditions, the danger of hypothermia due to exposure or taking a tumble and getting in to trouble is very real. Wet and windy is often much more dangerous than very cold but windless and snowy. It is often easier to stay safely dry and warm in the snow than in the wet. Anything below about 8 degrees C or anything with high wind chill, and you need proper winter gear in Scotland.

    I just keep thinking about it. What I think makes this really a piece of art is the unusual and skilled blend of narration, dialogue, walking clips, planning over the map, and musical interludes. Like, I know everyone 'puts that stuff in' when they make a video of a journey, but few really get the balance so spot on with such a sense of ease conveyed throughout. I think your good natured banter and easy-come-easy-go adventuring style here is very well reflected in the editing. This isn't an adventure vlog, it's a composition, and it really shows when one thinks about it a bit.

I've gone on many hikes and camped in rocky, sodden areas for the years leading uip to my 35th year or so. Now, health issues are the norm but for all the hikes, short and long before my physical self took a nose dive my fondest memories are of the shitty days, grouchy people, bug bites, equipment losses, etc. because those times were the most epically good stories to repeat over the warm, cozy nights around a campfire under a full moon in summer! They also held sway during relaxing, lazy BBQs with some of the same friends who shared those dismal hikes. Thank you so very much for taking me along with you on this mad march. I'd love to be able to tag along if you do it again but it's not meant to be so now.

    The last time I walked in that area (in June) I walked with a friend to the bothy, then over the pass to the East, to Loch Quoich where we camped the night at the water's edge. The weather was fine, sunny and still, but we could see and hear a thunder storm coming up the loch from further East. We got our tents up quickly and soon the wind was gale force and we got into our tents as the rain started...... Soon the storm was right overhead, with almost instantaneous lightning, then thunder..... I was holding on to my tent as it threatened to take-off....... the strorm passed by after 15 minutes and soon returned to calm, with the smell that lingers after a storm........ No damage done, and no leakage! 🙂 Love an adventure like that.

    Great video Alex. Sorry to hear about your drone. As an owner of a Mavic 2 Pro (which I think is what you've pictured) there's an issue with the batteries. If they've had a lot of charge/recharge cycles, they expand when warm (i.e. when in use) and this can cause them to escape the clip mechanism that secures them to the drone. If you had an old battery in there then it's entirely possible that the battery was not secured as strongly as it would be with a new battery and that, combined with the strong winds, was the issue. Good deals on Mini 3s and 4s at the moment mind you :)

    I love videos such as this! Born and raised in the Texas heat, I've always appreciated cooler climes, and I've dreamed of a hike like this through the majestic Scottish wilderness. Finances don't currently permit such a trip, but in the next 15 years, I plan to learn to sail, buy a boat, and sail to Britain. I'll sail along the coast of Scotland and hike inward, visiting the lands where my ancestors hunted, farmed, fought, and eventually took their final rest. Keep it up with the great content!

    I'm not sure the specs of their drone, however I know my Fimi SE 2022 V2 is waterproof. It will warn you well ahead of time if the flight conditions are dangerous. It is capable of handling 45 MPH winds. I've tested mine in 25 MPH gusty winds, and it handled it well. It is comparable in features to DJI minus the object avoidance (newer model has it now.) If they were piloting a mavic or mini model, that probably wasn't a good choice given the conditions found up there. Drones usually have a fail-safe set by the user in the event of disconnect. They can be told to hold position awaiting reconnect, land or return to home. The Fimi gives you the ability to define all this, including flight height and speed. For a Chinese brand, it's a pretty good alternative to DJI and not intrusive to the pilot in the software.

BUT in case some other Muppets try the the same thing - you were all completely under equipped . Slip, twist your ankle (or worse ), wet and cold you'll die of hypothermia before anyone even knows you need rescuing. 2 and a half hours looking for a toy! Are you f**king mad.

    Have to say I have mixed views about this video. A fantastic part of Scotland but right from the start I wondered if you had checked the forecast before setting off and also I have serious questions about the gear(or lack of it) especially the girls. The down jacket is not waterproof and the girls cagoules are totally inadequate for such weather. They also appeared to have no waterproof trousers. You must have all been soaked to the skin. If the temperature had been lower some of you would have been in danger of hypothermia. I would also have liked to see some info about where you stayed in Inverie and about your return journey. The saving garce of this video as with any about scotland is the scenery. Sorry to be so negative but really....

    When they came to the UK they had no outdoor gear at all; I leant them some of my spare gear such as the tent, sleeping bags, backpack and mess kit. The rest they had to purchase and at my insistence this included proper walking boots. There shouldn't be a financial barrier to enjoying and experiencing the great outdoors and yet it still cost them a lot to go with the gear they did. We stayed in the bunkhouse at Inverie; the video ends where it does for a better story arc and narrative structure.
