    How to encourage diversity in bushcraft

    The discontent towards the Guardian article was made clear by those who disliked the source. I do not agree with every point of view portrayed by the Guardian, but I do consider them a more reputable source of news and current affairs than a "media company" that spends thousands creating youtube...

    The issue that I have has more to do with the source of your video.

    Frontier's Online Elementary Wilderness Bushcraft Course - anyone done it?

    Thanks for the info. My wife and I are weighing up whether or not to sign up for the online course this year or wait until next year to do the 6 day 'elementary' field course. How much of the online course are you able to practice on your own in the UK's Autumn/Winter conditions? The video...

    Loch Ericht Wild Camping

    Myself, my wife and a friend spent last week wild camping in Scotland and found all the locals that we interacted with most welcoming and hospitable. We did drive past many places (tourist hotspots) flooded with cars and people. Naturally, these sorts of places were of no interest to us as we...

    Alone

    Seasons 5 & 6 are on Sky History Channel which I watch using Now TV (entertainment pass). Alone: The Beast is also currently running with a new episode being added each week I think.

    So can we go camping ? Scotland.

    https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/news/scottish-tourism-expected-to-reopen-from-july-15/0020894/ Not sure if this helps or not, but it is the clearest indication of anything happening in Scotland that I have found so far. Separately, is wild camping currently allowed in England?

    Planning Tips For Wild Camping Scotland? (Post-lockdown of course)

    Great pointers, thanks guys! Got most of my kit sorted now (hopefully won't be too heavy to carry everything). On to planning the finer details - where to go and for how long. Hoping that it won't be too much longer until it is safe to get out again. I have watched a few videos and the weather...

    Planning Tips For Wild Camping Scotland? (Post-lockdown of course)

    Thank you for all the info. I shall take your advice regarding the sleeping mats (although I may have to opt for a cheaper deal to fit into my budget) and will definitely be packing lighter than my list suggests.

    Planning Tips For Wild Camping Scotland? (Post-lockdown of course)

    That porch will just have to do haha - it will be an adventure. I'm not considering table and chairs being part my camp at this stage as we will be doing quite a bit of hiking/walking. Definitely a good idea to keep them in the car though anyways.

    Planning Tips For Wild Camping Scotland? (Post-lockdown of course)

    Hey guys, below is my (incomplete) kit/gear list that I have started putting together (for 2 persons). One thing I am not too concerned about is clothing and boots. We have invested in good outdoor clothing and footwear over the last few years, so I am sure we will be warm and dry. As mentioned...

    Planning Tips For Wild Camping Scotland? (Post-lockdown of course)

    @Dougster thanks for the suggestions. We did visit the Cairngorms 2 years ago and did a whisky tour/tasting (although, I am not a whisky drinker) and we loved it! It is a shame about the virus numbers, I will not be travelling until relatively safe to do so. So far it is looking most likely that...

    Planning Tips For Wild Camping Scotland? (Post-lockdown of course)

    Thanks for all your responses guys. Really helpful info - please keep it coming. @richy3333 @Broch my intentions are not to park up and camp alongside my car. My wife and I intend to park our car and hike a little way before setting up camp in what I imagine to be a secluded spot of natural...

    @Tengu thank you for your reply. I am hoping for some really warm weather of course. Are there any particular maps that you could recommend?

    Planning Tips For Wild Camping Scotland? (Post-lockdown of course)

    @Broch thanks! I think the uncertainty over the weather is what bugs me most. Our goal is the North West coast. The white sand and crystal waters is a huge draw factor for us.
