A wee introduction to my YouTube Channel. I hope that you enjoy this wee video and I thank you kindly for taking the time to watch my wee efforts into learning how to capture rediscovered hikes and hills from my past on film as an aulder guy.
I've been a keen hiker, wild camper and bushcrafter since my early twenties, and now in my mid 50's, with some short-term memory issues, and at the suggestion of my youngest Son, I have been trying to record walks and wee trips since October 2019 to help me remember them in years to come. YouTube seems the perfect platform to do this on, hence this channel.
In these, and in future videos, I hope to share with you some of the walks and places I've done previously as I revisit them, and also some of the Bushcraft skills I have picked up over the last 30 plus years, including some wild -edibles, fire starting and fires, useful plants etc.
Since as long as I can remember I have been interested in my Highland Ancestors, and in particular, the Jacobite period. There are Jacobites in our family tree, including a William Gray who was a volunteer and who was a Surgeon's Mate at The Battle of Prestonpans, and would have been in the medical tent with Bonnie Prince Charlie. With the interest in this period of Scotland's, and my Ancestor's History, I am slowly making and building up a kit that hopefully isn't too far from something they would have been familiar with so that I can experience better what it might have been like for them when travelling through the Scottish Highlands and dealing with the sometimes unpredictable weather and terrain of this amazing country of ours.
If you like what I am doing, and the subject matter I am trying to share, I would be most grateful if you help by clicking on the 'Like' button and maybe even Subscribe to my Channel.
Oh, this Channel is a 'replacement' YouTube Channel as my original Channel is no longer accessible as I deleted my Google Account by Accident, so had to create a new one and a new YouTube Account. Originally I was using the Tag of 'Highland Dave 66' until on my failed West Highland Way attempt in August 2021 a nice German lady I met said "Here he comes, the Jacobite Hiker' as I was in the kilt, ghillie shirt and waistcoat. I googled that straight away and saw nobody was using it, so have been going by that Tag since. Because of what I wear, and the subject matter I aim to try and share, it seems more than fitting.
So, yeah. I hope that you enjoy my wee efforts and please feel free to leave any comments or questions and I shall endeavour to reply to any and all correspondence.
Oh, just one more thing, I am still new to this, i don't like having my photo taken, so appearing on, and talking to a camera is still hard for me, but I know it's a must to help prove where I am and what I wear and carry with me on these wee hikes and adventures. Plus, my original camera wasn't good, so I've invested in a Canon EOS M5o to help improve on that to help me record my trips in better quality.
Thank you once again to anyone who has stopped by.
