Winter Kayaking and camping on the Summer Isles

Priest island is the most remote and isolated of the larger islands in the Summer Isles archipelago, west of Ullapool in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. In this video I spend a couple of days on the island in the middle of winter, including camping on the island during a cold and long midwinter night. I also explore the island on foot a little, before having to get back to the mainland before night returns!

OTHER PLACES TO SEE MY PHOTOGRAPHY/ADVENTURES: Website: https://www.middleofnowherephotos.com Instagram:   / fearguscooney   Facebook:   / feargusc   About Me: Hi and thanks for checking out my videos! I’m Feargus Cooney, a photographer and amateur explorer who has been disappearing into the wilderness for most of my life. It’s my passion and my salvation from the stresses of everyday life. The main aim of my excursions/expeditions is to explore the relatively (and occasionally completely) unknown if I can - to get off the beaten path in some way and bring back photography of nature and wilderness. I’ve been filming my adventures since 1999, though am only a recent addition to using YouTube as a way of getting the experiences out there. During the COVID-19 pandemic my wife and I made the decision it was time to escape the stress of living far from any real wilderness and moved to northern Scotland, and that’s where most of these videos take place. It’s not as pure and unspoilt as some wilderness areas around the world but it can certainly be remote and wild. I also head off into more ‘pure’ wilderness around the world once or twice a year, and will occasionally add videos from my archive of trips I did in the past where the quality is high enough. Scotland has made a world of difference to my mental health. The space - and right - to roam here, along with a healthier attitude to freedom of access to nature than I’ve come across in most places I’ve lived has made entering this phase of my life a truly transformative one, raising me out of persistent cycles of depression and stress that have plagued most of my adult life. I’m passionate about nature and the wilderness and always have been, and I hope to share some of that passion with you. BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS! A WORD OF CAUTION: My videos cover experiences I have had and are not to be taken as guides or recommendations without proper training and experience. I’ve been spending time in the wilderness camping wild and doing the various activities I show since I was a child, and have made plenty of mistakes while refining my experience and wisdom, some of which could have been very serious. Please seek appropriate training or go with someone more experienced than you before trying risky activities. 00:00 Introduction 00:37 Paddling out to the island 03:09 Arrival on the Island 05:17 Night on the island 08:39 Exploring the Island 14:44 Exploring the coast and paddling back 18:44 Return to the mainland and closing comments 19:46 Closing comments & credits
