Показать описание
If you’re struggling with self-isolation, just imagine choosing to live that way for 12 years! After being diagnosed with a chronic heart condition, Davey made the decision to ditch his day job, sell up and move into a tent in the Scottish Highlands. He’s been there ever since, not just surviving, but thriving.

Film made by Elliot Caunce.

What a lad! I did chuckle when he said; "I've suffered from hypothermia and I know what to do about that".

As he strolls to a freezing lake in shorts and a t-shirt.

This guy is absolutely bang on with the need for hygiene. Something you rarely see in ‘survival’ programs.

It’s best to smile at night knowing you may not wake up than cry to bed knowing you’ll face another day

Im living in the wild in Scotland. Very similar to you i had a serious health scare and i also have heart issues since birth. When you know that you probably won't live long it changes your perspective on life and you don't take your time for granted. I had to live in the wild it was a calling to it and i know the risks and how challenging it is but for me personally it is the only way i can truly live and it keeps my spirit revived. I grew up in Ireland anyways out in the sticks before emmigrating to England. But i always missed living in nature and being connected to that way of life. Had i known the happiness and sense of freedom id get from living in a tent in the wilderness id have done it years ago. I had to lose everything from the world to find myself in the wilderness again. Ill never forget that feeling i got the first time i stepped foot in the Scottish Highlands it was like, finally, im home - where i belong. It's a calling and it's deeply spiritual and freeing. It takes mental strength, determination, and a deep yearing to live the way you feel called to. Nothing could ever bring me back to the material world as i call it. It keeps you fit, strong and brings you into a totally different way of life and perspective. Many are called few are able to do it and few are meant to.... I have the highest respect to you sir! The Scottish spirits are amongst the bravest!

Wow - 2007.. I started 5 years on the roads in Feb 2007 journeying on a well loaded bike and staying in the countryside. England in the Summers, Northern Scotland in the Winters (no midges and no tourists then).
Best thing I ever did - very healing and wholesome .

If I kicked the bucket, I'd be happy for my heart to go to a guy living like that.

I now do the same high up on the west coast and it really does take a different kind of person to stay the course, its hard its lonely although I have my best friend(my dog)but the rewards are incredible as to what you get from life.
Mine was a family loss that give me the nudge and I am truly genuinely the happiest and at peace I could have wished for.
I watched Davey's clip a while ago and hes had it tough even just the health, but that's also a man that is made for the life he chose and I can say with some certainty he wont be giving up to ANYTHING his life throws at him, a true inspiration to many people many of whom dream of his life.
Be kind be happy 🤗

I just found your video, I suppose because I'm looking to do what you're doing very soon, for many reasons. Although you have health issues, you're living, really living. You are amazing and look amazing. What an inspiration, keep well and keep living your authentic life. Wish I could meet you some time.
