Feeling a connection to the land is the best head-space to be in, it's value cannot be over emphasised. Unfortunately so many of us live disconnected from the natural world floundering around surrounded by concrete and glass. I know that although you (Callum & Rox) live in nature with all its raw power you still love and appreciate it. Myself and Hannah met you (Callum) in August at The Distillery and had a great chat with you about some of your life in Ardnamurchan. We will be returning next year again to recharge our batteries. In the mean time please know that for us poor dwellers on the threshold your videos help to remind us of the most important things in life, that they are simple and mostly free yet not without toil and some hardship...always rewarding and worthwhile. Love out to you both.

Hi Guys, love the vids, i move to Port Ellen in 3 weeks so if you fancy meeting up whenever. im going to get a martial arts group going featuring historical sword fighting, whip fighting and some grappling thrown in. Big fan of cold water therapy too and your way of life, just hoping I can get enough of us on Islay to get a regular group with premises . Good luck and keep up your vids ,they have been a big help to me. Perhaps one day our paths will cross.

Such a lovely vlog lads ❤ it looks so cozy and so connectet with nature - really amazing. We would love to visit you up there somewhere in winter time 🤩 xoxo😘😘😘

Having been unable to get back up there since March due to a poorly dog your weekly vlogs are the next best thing. Enjoying the mushroom lessons too. I can now look out for Slippery Jacks as well as the Chanterelle when we do get up there. Keep up the good work and stay warm.

I found that solar panels which can tilt into the direction of the sun will produce way more power then just flat mounted panels. It could be as spectacular as 5-8 times as much. Even on overcast days a tilting panel can do way better... I mounted my solar panels on brackets which allow them to be tilted using a couple of aluminium stips and some thumb bolts. That helped a lot with power generation. On a side note: a small (300-500W) wind generator can help as well especially when you are parked up in windy spots...

I actually came and said Hi when you were parked there. I live just along the road

Fabulous video Both. Such a stunning place to be. Amazing to see the deer jump out onto the road in front of you. Definitely my favourite part of Scotland. Keep Loving the Adventure Both

Just thought I might pop back in to flesh out my "Dweller on the Threshold" reference. I know it's not cool to like Van Morrison, he has said some ridiculous things of late which are best ignored. However his song "Dweller on the Threshold" does have merit. I feel in my current life I am on the threshold, between living the life I want to live and the one I feel I must live due to economics, expectations and responsibilities. I watch your vlog and see two young people living a rewarding, fulfilling alternative lifestyle irrespective of the material society we live in. A society which in almost every way channels us into a vortex of consumerism and greed which once commited to is hard to extract from. So, keep on doing your thing and resist the call beyond the hills, it is you who have your priorities right. That said I am sure you have times when you doubt yourselves as we all do, nothing is perfect. I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively. My travels have taught me how important the environment we live in is, and just how that environment impacts our moods, well-being and our feeling of worth. I'll stop here because I'm rambling. Here is "Dweller" I'm a dweller on the threshold And I'm waiting at the door And I'm standing in the darkness I don't want to wait no more I have seen without perceiving I have been another man Let me pierce the realm of glamour So I know just what I am I'm a dweller on the threshold And I'm waiting at the door And I'm standing in the darkness I don't want to wait no more Feel the angel of the present In the mighty crystal fire Lift me up, consume my darkness Let me travel even higher I'm a dweller on the threshold As I cross the burning ground Let me go down to the water Watch the great illusion drown I'm a dweller on the threshold And I'm waiting at the door And I'm standing in the darkness I don't want to wait no more I'm gonna turn and face the music The music of the spheres Lift me up, consume my darkness When the midnight disappears I will walk out of the darkness And I'll walk into the light And I'll sing the song of ages And the dawn will end the night I'm a dweller on the threshold And I'm waiting at the door And I'm standing in the darkness I don't want to wait no more I'm a dweller on the threshold And I cross some burning ground And I'll go down to the water Let the great illusion drown I'm a dweller on the threshold And I'm waiting at the door And I'm standing in the darkness I don't want to wait no more ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0AQtd5LFa38.html

Hi, we really enjoyed your video a lot. It is great to see how other vanlifers live off grid. Have a great day Chelsea and Mike

😎

Beautiful vlog and beautiful places to stay in. Scotland remains on my dream list of places to see. Pozdrowienia z Warszawy!

Been watching your vlogs for a wee while noo and always find they come across very natural , keep up the great patter , oh and those mushrooms have a wee work with Wullie from Living the Skye life 😊

I think you guys are more entertaining than most other van life channels. It’s odd you don’t have as many followers 🤔 yet... Try putting a sound track on in some spots of the videos. The Campervibe girls seem to do very well with that. Q. I was going to buy you a whiskey but it’s not clear what account gets deducted for the dosh. How does it work?

Loved your vlog this week, especially the colours of the woodland when you were foraging for mushrooms, just beautiful 😍

Callum's deer impression 😆 Our lazy solution for power in the winter is to drive to Spain - but the cosiness of this vlog and your descriptions of winter in the UK almost (almost) tempted us to stick around and find out what it's like. You are so brave with those mushrooms! I wish I could forage for them but I'm too paranoid about poisoning.

The birch poliphore was used to carry embers between fires in the days before matches etc

FUCKING AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!! Glad to have found your channel guys

How were the locals in Ardnamurchan with you long staying in the area? I drove around applecross last year and stayed overnight, the farmer the following day was tooting me as if to shoo me on

what do you guys do for work?

It wasn't a dream... 👀
