Yesterday, I was thinking, ‘Alex hasn’t uploaded in a while’ and here we are!
Same!!
Awesome upload 🫶👍
Worth waiting for😁
Same here 😅 I’ve been thinking that for awhile😅
There's always more to his videos than just a "staying at a cabin" and I think that's wonderful! 😁
Agreed
Hi Alex! Freediver here. I absolutely applaud you for making the most of the proximity to the loch but you should always try to avoid diving alone. Shallow water blackout can always catch you out and this could be fatal if you don't have a buddy. I'd also double check your weight belt to ensure you're not over weighted - again if you get into trouble you don't want too much weight on your waist. A good way to check is to put the belt on with all the equipment, position yourself upright in the water toes pointing down and completely exhale. If you're properly weighted your mask should just be under the surface of the water. Too heavy and you'll continue to sink, too light and you'll be bobbing with your head above the surface. ANYWAY - lecture over. Hit me up if you ever want a diving buddy - cheers!
+1 to see this video!
Is there no cameraman at all?
Jeez, there's always one out there. It must hurt to be that pedantic.
Not sure why I'm taking notes, I've never dived in my life, but this was a good advice lol
@@namenl2205haha me too!!!
Good video Alex, really enjoyed it. Made me want to stay here. Clicked the link and was a bit disappointed tbh. No children allowed, max of 2 people to stay here, no friends allowed to visit, earliest check in 3.30pm, check out by 10.30am, minimum 2 night stay @ £235 a night. That £470 for 43 hours of cabin use. I guess if you can afford that for 2 nights and have extra money for all your food, plus don't have kids it would be a nice experience.
Looks lovely and peaceful. Just what I need.
I love how he is so humble and apreciating.
Love this video Alex. Your videos are so calming and informative with great filming. I'm trying not to be irritated by the comment below that this cabin experience is so 'middle class'. We all watch You Tube videos for different reasons, for information and enjoyment. Just because I, for instance, really enjoy good crime documentaries, it doesn't mean that I'm a criminal or potential serial killer (at the age of 77 its too late to pursue a criminal career 😂). I also love wild nature even though I can no longer explore a wilderness, go camping and attempt to ascend a rocky outlook. It is better to look into and enjoy other peoples worlds and experiences in order to have a wider understanding and outlook on life. Carry on as you have been doing Alex, don't be swayed by others who would stop following you. Your number of subscribers tells us that you are doing great.
I feel like Alex would be the coolest guy to hang out with like he's just so fun and creative and I just keep learning more and more about all kinds of stuff ,stay strong brother ❤
Yeah man. He's just so pure
Scotland is on my bucket list... not too far to travel from Wales. Alex you're adorable - the loch is slightly over seasoned. Classic! Oysters are a very expensive mouthwash. I've never tried cooked oysters. Another totally beautiful experience watching your video. Live, love, laugh. Namaste, Alex
You are such a vibe man, I love seeing another person my age having the same hobbies and loving nature. Great video Alex ,keep being you and uploading whatever makes you happy!
Totally 💯 agree 🫶🙌😁
What a stunning location, thanks for sharing Alex.
Let's gooooo another video I want a chill life like you Great vid!
My partner and I stayed about a mile from Loch Etive 7-11th June. The weather was hot aside from a wonderful thunderstorm on the last night. We also enjoyed some delicious fresh seafood and had magnificent encounters with nature. No midgie bites for us not being near the water in the evenings! Scotland is beautiful and totally underrated 🏴 🦀🦪🦞🦐🌲
Wouldn't you just love to go travelling with Alex? Never a dull moment and he'd make you lovely food without having to be asked!
What a storyteller! Thoroughly enjoyed this one with my morning coffee here in San Diego. Thanks, Alex, you smashed it!
When I see that cabin I feel the need of a vacation
I used to buy Loch Fyne kippers from Marks & Spencer, deelish. Nice to actually see the Loch they came from. Loving the wildlife too! 😎
Hey Alex, I've been avidly watching your videos every day since I found your channel about a week ago. I've for some reason found it difficult to find other people interested in all of the things I am (foraging, homesteading, gardening, cooking, travelling). Your videos are largely inspiring as you seem to live the life I hope to begin very soon. Thank you so much for creating such pleasant and positive videos, your curiosity and thirst for knowledge is really lovely :))
I hold the exact same view! It’s quite hard finding people that enjoy these things, but they’re definitely out there 😍
Going through a terrible mix of a break up and depression and your video cheered me up. Only thing that made me smile today
Your videoes always makes me feel so peaceful.
I just recently got this channel recommended, and i hate you... Im now sooo hooked on your content! Love everything you do, and it looks so liberating to go and do stuff like you do. Keep on being awesome ❤
His video is like opposite click bait. The thumbnail and the title is so simple but the video is so much resourceful and entertaining.
There's a few places to see red squirrels in england! Largely islands (Brownsea island is known for it, pretty sure the Isle of Wight too). But also a few heaths and woodlands have managed to somehow keep the greys out. I spent a night on brownsea a number of years ago and saw so many red squirrels!
Love theses types of videos ❤
Great video 🤙
Guys!! Wake up!! New Alex video just dropped!!
This was awesome! I’m going to Scotland in September and I’ll definitely look into staying here, thanks!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
My first visit to Scotland was also at Looch Fine, it's beautiful there and you can fish well both on the looch itself and with a fly for trout on the streams or reservoirs, but almost 25 years have passed
I just love your videos! I found you like 2 months ago and binge watched everything. Thank you for the great content Alex!
My goodness your videos are such a great and cozy time! Love them! You are without a doubt my favorite creator ❤ Wish you the best time in Scotland!
Really love your passion for experiencing life the way you do. I wish I'd done more of this when I was younger. Good for you 👊🏻
Great informative video Alex. It’s summer and there are a lot of places to visit. So, keep ‘em coming😊❤!
No fish 😂 reminded me of that James may clip cheese, your channel is a gem I always feel good after watching ❤
Looks amazing would love to stay somewhere like that 👍
Thanks Alex for making my train commute home fly by!!! 😊
Another great video!! Thanks for sharing your adventures. I look forward to the next one.
Thanks for video ! Calm as always, as i love them ! I studied in Scotland and during the all video i was like "Midges!" " Midges!!" "MIDGES !??" Glad you addressed it at the end ! Have a good day
Beautiful spot, I love Fyne Ales so looks handy for there, Hurricane Jack and Jarl are my favourites of theirs. It looks very peaceful there, I find it very relaxing when you sit somewhere and there is virtually no man made sounds, just the sea, animals and the wind (and quite possibly rain). You do also notice the longer days even heading a bit North of Edinburgh but when you get into the isolated areas you also notice even in summer just how dark the nights get without any stray light. The midges are often terrible on the west coast, Skye is brutal for them, particularly when camping at Glenbrittle to attempt some of the Cuillin ridge, heard various theories, the Marines in that area use Avon skin so soft, others suggest sprays, there are some candles etc than can mitigate them slightly or as one old boss said “take up smoking for the weekend”! Enjoyed the video, looks like you had a lovely stay and were very lucky with the weather, I do think when the weather is good that Scotland is perfect (think the same for the rest of the country but especially patriotic about Scotland)! Try the islands next time if you haven’t already you can end of on some of the prettiest beaches you will ever see with only the occasional seal or if you are lucky an otter for company!
That was a smashing video Alex, I really enjoyed it. Love Loch Fyne. You always meet such interesting people.
Another incredible video Alex! What a beautiful place. I love a home with lots of windows as well. You can't beat natural light. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers 🍻
As with all your videos I love it! Keep them coming mate, your a natural. To old now to do all these adventurous things but love experiencing them through you skilled cinematic and narrative content.
Hi Alex nice cabin awesome scenery tranquil waters, the sunset was amazing your videos are always so informative, thanks for sharing stay safe
I can’t express how much I love these videos ❤
Great tae see my wee country in its glory 💙 I’ve spent a lot of my summers up Loch Fyne fishing and camping just up from furnace and the old quarry. Beautiful part of the world
I love your videos so much.
I like that you have a natural and relax voice speaking on your vlogs , that's when your viewers get the attention of what you were saying ,and i love this kind of vlog , simple and very interesting
Thanks :)
Another great video Alex😊 Your long apprenticeship with Carl means you make them so professionally that the content shines through. What a great way to spend a few days in such a beautiful spot.. I fondly remember a similar stay in a cabin on Loch Awe and if the midges are the only negative you know you're having a great time. Keep living the dream. All the best bud
Beautiful location, and the food looked lovely. Great video mate
I've just came back from a 5 day solo camping and kayak fishing trip on the west coast, I stayed near Ballachulish but explored everywhere within a 100 mile radius and it was amazing...i do it 3-4 times a year 😁
Alex another great video. I’ve been watching a while now and love everything your doing keep going and maybe some more cooking please. It’s great to see you expanding your talents especially as your going to have all those veg to cook soon. May I humbly suggest Alex’s guide to roast potatoes, chips, as someone who’s cooked all his life but now can’t it’s lovely to see how other people do things. Take care matey. Your sincerity will take you far.
i love your vids! thank you for sharing your slices of life with us ❤️
C'mon bro, what can I say, Top-end video production right here and I really love it.
Hi Alex, been following your channel since your camper build and travels but iv'e been busy and not watched for a while, wish i knew you were heading to Loch Fyne i used to work at Loch Fyne Oysters and only live a short distance away, would have been great to have met you and shown you some local attractions. Another great Video keep up the great work 👌
Thank you so much for showing us such beautiful and interesting places, much love from austria mate 🙂
You are our family KZheadr, we love watching your videos. Much love from Turkey❤
Mate, this grilled salmon... I have drooled my keyboard :)
Great that you managed to visit Fyne Ales , cracking video and lovely part of the Uk
Love watching your videos ,lots of love from Nairobi, kenya
I came here to say that your adventures are so inspiring, now i want to go to an off grid cabin on the bank of a lake for a weekend . Awesome stuff man 👍
In some ways I envy you, I'm to disabled to do many of the things I used to, so I'll just live thru you youngsters... 😅 👍🏻 Oysters.. Yum!! 😋 I love shell fish, not so much fish fish though. Grew up on north coast of California at Klamath River, so had lots of seafood. An awesome area to visit as well, especially the Requa Inn.... 😃
Legend has it that Tony Blair and Gordon Brown made a pact in Loch Fyne Oysters that they would both take turns of being Prime Minister. They were returning from the funeral ( on Iona ) of the late leader of the Labour Party John Smith.
Another intrepid adventure - not something one could do on a tight budget! (Care to give us some idea of how much the whole trip cost?)
I want one
Excellent content Alex, love Scotland 🏴
Short but beautiful
Lovely lad. I’m just down the road from Loch Lomond if ya fancy a cuppa? Glad you’re having a good time 😊🎣
Such a chill video. Love Scotland and the local produce. Nice
I like the cooked ones too lol , I liked the way you sped up the Scottish landscape beautiful indeed
Fantastic video Alex. I really enjoy this type of content 👍
Alex, there are red squirrels in England. One of the main places is the Isle of Wight. It is illegal to take a grey squirrel on to the island & you can be prosecuted apparently. This is because grey squirrels attack the red squirrels. Red Squirrels are native to the UK. When grey squirrels were introduced they almost eradicated the red squirrel population. There are black squirrels as well & they attack grey squirrels. I am not sure if we have black ones in the UK or not.
Love this video Alex. Nice to see u again.
Another wonderful and interesting video Alex. so great!
Love watching all your videos! Keep telling your stories and bringing us along on your adventures
