OTATScotland YouTube Channel Recommendations
We often use YouTube as a planning resource and have discovered a few really good channels. We’ve listed a few for you to check out.
Coming in at No.6
Scots Wildcamper - Often out with a group of like minded wild campers, Eddy and friends make for some good entertaining viewing with a dollop of good banter. Eddie’s films are longer than most but there’s lots of information to be gleaned from the views in the films.
Walking swiftly in at No.5
Walk With Wallace - Robin got into hill walking in 2008, completed the Munros in 2014 and now just enjoys getting out as much as he can. He LOVES wild camping, weekend backpacking trips, bothy nights and a bit of wildlife too. Robins aims is to provide light hearted and inspiring outdoor films from his travels mostly around Scotland. There’s plenty of commentary on Robins films and isn't shy to admit when things go slightly off track, which helps others learn.
Chuckling in at No.4
Dan Bell - Lives in Scotland and likes most things to do with wild camping. All his adventures are filmed very creatively and always extremely funny. Dan tends to get off the beaten track. Dan: “The train into the highlands was cancelled which resulted in a bus replacement. The bus driver was sound and let me hop off with my bike at the Glen Etive road. Turned out to be an epic trip involving deer, James Bond and Harry Potter”. Within 15 seconds of this film you’ll be bent over laughing.
Roaring in at No.3
