  Really 'pining for the fjords', so to speak, aren't you? The moodswing since Grua is quite striking ... From an external perspective, though, the green shoots you home in on give cause for a new optimism echoed by the ousting of the Conservatives 'down south'. (That said, I hope you realise that the 1066 Nor(th)mans, who were the grandaddies of the Tories, were of course originally Norwegian Vikings - so that should help you distance yourself!) What's really nice about your videos, Sam, is the quasi-personal connection you generate & maintain so well. Never met, almost certainly never will meet, and yet it's like being updated by a friend. Much appreciated - take care ...

  I'm one of those you speak of in this video, not from Scotland (from California) and had no idea about the overgrazing and the changes in the landscape, so I appreciate the info you put out there. I watch a lot of UK hiking videos just for the sheer beauty of the country and I just assumed the Highlands were just barren yet beautiful. Your video footage is gorgeous, I'm enjoying catching up on them.

  Fair play, your views on the national parks and rewilding are not bang on. I live in Aviemore and have a family to raise, and yes, rent is impossible. We were nearly homeless twice last year! Settled for now, and long may it continue. The actions in place are very contradicting and only benefit the privilege and the big Estates. I've worked through the process from a gamekeeper to a keen conservationist. So, not all I know or talk about is just hot air. On another note, good video and set up 😎👌 I have a feeling we may have mutual friends......🤔

  Hi Stevie, thanks for watching the video and taking the time to leave a comment.

  I have just discovered this excellent channel. My black Labrador 'Bobby' watches your videos for the 'Darach' content. The wife and I love the history and wildlife content. We love your 'Forest Thoughts'. You call them rants....We don't see that, we see and feel your passion, empathy and intelligence. It is really refreshing to hear what you have to say. I have had the privilege of stalking invasive deer species (Sika) in ancient Caledonian Forest. So, I understand your concerns about land use. I feel the same about my native Dartmoor and the Shropshire Hills. Many people think that wilderness places are untouched wild habitats, they have no idea that often these environments have been shaped and continued to be shaped/exploited by man for financial gain. Your storytelling style reminds me of the late great Scottish writer and environmentalist Ronnie Rose. Please, keep up the amazing work!

  Propane is $3+ per gallon. Canisters can be refilled (much less waste). Alcohol is $10+ per gallon. Obviously refillable, too! It takes more alcohol (50%+ more) to heat the same amount of water. Alcohol is somewhat lighter and much quieter. Tradeoffs.

• 
  @HighlandWoodsman7 күн бұрын

  As far as I know the camping sized canisters aren't really designed for re-filling. It's also a hassle to refill and potentially dangerous if you overfill etc. I'm not sure what the cost of each is here but methylated spirits is usually pretty cheap. I take your point though. Thanks for watching and commenting 😀
