This week, we were wild camping in a forest at Loch Drunkie, Scotland. The Trossachs has plenty of spots for camping in the woods next to water, which is ideal for cooking and being discrete. But what is wild camping?

Wild Camping in a Forest | Loch Drunkie, Scotland
Another all Scottish camping trip with the exceptional GazTheExplorer. This weekend we decided on an easy wild camp after battling a munro - sorry no video - the following weekend. We ended up camping at Loch Drunkie, which is a part of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, Scotland, and it's a gorgeous spot with the fall colours dominating the environment. Sadly, it was a dry event with a brief shower, so nothing to extreme this weekend. It was a great camping in the woods experience, there were people around, but everyone was on their best behaviour. But a big question posed at the end: what is your definition of wild camping?

I hope you all enjoy. It's a dry camping trip, so not much happening. I hope you also have fun in the comments section: what is wild camping and what is your definition of wild camping?

@MrWildWales 2 года назад

Wild camping for me is being well away from civilization and other people

@AirdrieRambler 2 года назад

If you aren't on a campsite with facilities (toilet, shower, etc) then you are wild camping. How wild - that's open to interpretation. Are we talking wild as in remote or wild as in weather - or both? As for the book definition, it's lightweight camping where access rights apply, done in small numbers and at most for two or three nights in the one place. So, were you wild camping? The simple answer is YES.

Wild camping is the sound of nature , no car noises , gazing at the stars , listening to the water lapping on to the shore , being hypnotized by the open fire you have just made ,the rain drops on the tent sending you off to sleep , if alone just getting some clarity of thought and relaxing from everyday worries , or if with company just having a chat and a laugh with like minded people and just being yourself .

@MontyOutdoors 2 года назад

Very introspective, Ally. A beautiful definition of wild camping x

@GG-im1cb 2 года назад

For me wild camping is anywhere accessed for free that doesn’t have facilities I.e toilets, mains power, water etc.. I really couldn’t care if it’s 10 miles or 10 metres from the car as some folk are constrained by kit budget, mobility, kids etc and I wouldn’t seek to piss on their fire or denigrate their experience. Enjoy the outdoors, leave no trace, and respect others who seek to do the same 👍🏻

"I really couldn’t care if it’s 10 miles or 10 metres from the car as some folk are constrained by kit budget, mobility, kids etc and I wouldn’t seek to piss on their fire or denigrate their experience." 110% it may not be wild camping to me, but this is wild camping to others, so I'll continue to use the tag "wild camping" to appeal to us all!.

@l-jshikingbootslippy3431 2 года назад

Hiya Monty, loved the drone view😍 Loch Drunkie looks absolutely beautiful!!!! and its definitely been added to my visit in Scotty list!! See your stomach is still lined with lead lad! ha My definition of wild camping is....spending a fortune to live like a homeless person ha. ok I'll be serious...hiking miles with a weight on your back is worth all the mutterings and curses when you get to watch that breath taking sunset and then waking up to an amazing sunrise, swimming in a freezing cold lake or stream, getting soaking wet trying to pitch your tent in your rain, drinking in nature and the pure beauty of it, the peacefulness and solitude of solo wild camping cannot be described in words....you have to do it for yourself in order to understand, it's not just one thing....it's everything rolled into one. Can you wild camp in your garden?....imagination is a wonderful thing😁 and what one person classes as wild camping another may not, as long as the person who is camping enjoys it? who cares what others think. L-J xx

@MontyOutdoors 2 года назад

Hey LJ. Sorry for the late reply and hope you are well. When are you back up in Scotland? And spice is my life. I genuinely love excess spice and believe I can win all sorts of competitions involving spices lol. I agree with you. Me camping on a mountain is every bit as wild camping as someone with kids camping near the car. Equally a fantastic achievement. For me, wild camping is more trekking a bit and being off grid, but it really is all relative. Off out on the mountains this weekend so I can't wait :). Thanks for the input and never ending support x

@wanderwithmac 2 года назад

Thanks Monty, as always a great video. On the question of wild camping, I am in my 70’s, and have health issues, but I believe in being the best you can. I did the mountain bagging and survival stuff when I was younger, but now I don’t stray too far from the car. It is about camping, not how far you have to walk before you bivvy up, I can think of at least 2 campsites that I have done Videos on that I would class as wild camps and if you are thinking of going in to the wilds would be worth a visit to check you and your gear out.

@MontyOutdoors 2 года назад

I believe it's all relative and I addressed my point with others. I think I have been clear when I posed the question when I asked people what is your definition. I'm going by the Outdoor Access Code's definition and my own situation. But someone with some form of restriction/obstacle in their life, say kids or one with mobility issues, without a doubt camping near the car with no facilities is wild camping.

Lol 😆 besides who cares as long as your out in the nature enjoying it 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤

@MontyOutdoors 2 года назад

Hi Jane, hope you are well :) The comments didn't bother me as people had a legit point in their arguments. To me it's all relative as we need to take into account that people, for example, with mobility issues are restricted. So someone with mobility issues camping by the car is every bit as impressive as someone camping on a mountain. Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback :)

I'm not an expert in down jackets, but this did help Gaz keep warm when we were on a munro so first impressions are fine so far. Let's see how it handles winter and we'll get a better review from it there. Do you think I should stick to doing reviews within a camping video and fully testing the anything I get? I've got a tent coming and I told them I'll use it in bad weather and if it passes the test it will be given away and recommended. But cheers again, mate. Appreciated big yin.

I think the effort required to wild camp adds to the pleasure once I'm all set up, but it varies in nature. For me the finding, planning and driving to the area is one effort, especially finding appropriate parking; I won't go too far from the car. The down side, taking too much! Or, I can leave from my door and the effort is 2 hours slogging slowly uphill :) Still new to the walking/camping and this aging bod says the downside is getting back down the next morning! Still, nothing beats wild camping. Thanks to you and all your community for opening this up for folk like me. Ta.

@cynthiajohns0n442 2 года назад

Wild camping to me is going somewhere where there is no electricity, bathroom facilities or any other conveniences. You either bring food & all that entails or hunt/fish/forage. Personally I'd rather fish & forage but i do bring along a few items to eat just in case i don't catch any fish. Gotta have protein in any case. BTW I absolutely love all the scenery in this video! See ya next time😁

Great video, really nice drone footage again. What is wild camping? I reckon as long as you are away from facilities and you are not in an area that is maintained. I don't think it matters what people want to call wild camping. What does annoy me though is when you have people who may not be able to walk far or they have to stay close to a car for what ever reason and someone belittles them saying its not real wild camping. As long as they are out having fun responsibly, looking after the environment and feeling better for it I am happy.

Great video. Your footage looked great, so peaceful. The jacket looks really good too. I think I agree with you about wild camping, it should be a walk from road/car.

Glad you enjoyed it, Lainey :). Beastie season is over... are you coming out yet? I think it all depends on the issue. I didn't want to state it on the video incase I never got my words out properly, but there are people out there with mobility issues for example and they are unable to trek into out "wilderness" so camping next to the car is every bit of an incredible feat as someone camping on top of a munro in my opinion.

There is a walking trail from Aberfoyle and I believe it takes around 90 minutes to 2 hours. Come winter, I hope to take this trail. You'll be able to find it online and on Google Maps. Between October and end of February, no permit is required :)

@@MontyOutdoors cheers I have a car was just curious to know if it was walkable from Aberfoyle ...i guess walking to it in winter is the only option. Il have a look cheers

Let me ask you this: I live on 10 acres & 5 of it is woods with hills & a ravine. If i camped there, would you consider it wild camping? I would definitely do the same there as i would anywhere else except I'd have to take food with me as our ravine has no fish big enough to eat.

@MontyOutdoors 2 года назад

It's all relative. I hope my other point addressed this question. For example, this is wild camping to someone with mobility issues, but for me it wouldn't be. That and I have no idea what 10 acres is lol.

@cynthiajohns0n442 2 года назад

@@MontyOutdoors 10 acres is quite a spot of land these days. A person could probably build 50 or 60 houses on it. Living in the country is like nothing else. It's wonderful 😊

Wild camping is when you don’t pay for a campsite or have any services .. just out in nature

@MontyOutdoors 2 года назад

I pretty much agree with this, mate.

Wild camping is anywhere offsite with no amenities.

@gordonwalker4909 2 года назад

I don't think distance from car or road really defines wild-camping. If you are not on a campsite, and carry all the kit to escape your usual world to enjoy the outdoors then it counts.

@MontyOutdoors 2 года назад

I believe the definition following the outdoor access code is an hours walk from the car, in small numbers, using small tents. Really to me, it's look after yourself in a tent that has no facilities as you say.

I've got that Elixir 1. 1 tent of many. It's superb. Had it in sustained winds of 30 mph in Southern uplands. Surprisingly robust. Wild camping? Been camping for 35 years. Its just "Camping" to me. I don't feel the need to define wild. Have tent - will camp. It's just semantics. The guys that said that you were not wild camping due to the proximity of your car probably view wild camping as camping on top of Nevis or similar. Then some Alaskan guy or Kamchatkan will just come along and laugh at them in turn as it won't be 'wild' to them...let's face it, you can still see Fort William from the summit It just becomes a pissing contest about who is more 'Reinhold Messner/Ranulph Fiennes'. Ignore the naysayers Monty......just keep doing what you are doing.

@MontyOutdoors 2 года назад

There you go everyone. GazTheExplorer and Mountain Del approved! Cheers for sharing the knowledge, now I can spread it :). And appreciate the input, mate. I think it's all relative and we need to take into account those with mobility issues who are restricted on what they can do. This is certainly wild camping to many and not to others. I'm appealing to everyone hopefully!

@TheArneSaknussemm 2 года назад

Basically....you're not wild camping unless you have been attacked by a bear and are cooking it for supper whilst using the hide as a bivvy....everything else is camping

@MontyOutdoors 2 года назад

That's rather precise... have you had any experiences with bears in the wild recently? 😂

@billbryan8943 2 года назад

Monty, we had trail closures near the Folk Art Center,milepost 382,on the Blue Ridge Parkway, near Asheville, North Carolina, from Sept. 29 to Oct. 8, due to a bear attack on visitors to the park. Here, you can't camp with food in your tent. Wild campers hang their food from trees in bear bags, and some try to cook/eat a distance from where they sleep. I've seen many bears, and woken to find scat 30 ft. from my tent. I've personally seen a large mountain lion near the border of Tennessee and North Carolina, though "experts" say we don't have them there. Also, I once had a huge feral hog come out of high grass and rush me and my border collie, but we got inside in time. I had to run up to within 10 ft. of a large bobcat in my backyard, to scoop up my crazy Westie. She'd worried it onto my woodpile. Last night I heard a pack of coyotes howling in my neighbor's cowfield. Lol This is a different kind of wild. You have to watch out for rattlesnakes, cottonmouth, and copperhead.

Hey Monty, I assume you needed a permit for this camp? I know this area has them in place. Cheers

@MontyOutdoors 2 года назад

Within permit season which is March to September. So no permit required. Plus even during permit season, there's still parts where you can camp, they are just hidden.

Wild camping for me is no facilities where you camp

@MontyOutdoors 2 года назад

That's reasonable. I was only going by the Outdoor Access Code's definition and what's relative to me. But others are less privileged than I and can't go up munros. So this is definitely wild camping to many.

@alanmakesfilm5253 2 года назад

Just finished the vid. Just wanted to touch on your down jacket, I know you are veggie and hoping to be vegan. I am vegan myself for 4 years and stay well away from down jackets due to the barbaric cruelty involved and secondly there just is no need in this day in age when better synthetics are now available. I hope you might consider this going forward to support your beliefs regarding animals etc Monty. All the best and thanks for your content! :)
