A huge shoutout to one of our fantastic guests from a recent team-building trip in the stunning Scottish Highlands! It was an absolute pleasure having you out on the hill for your shooting and deer stalking experience. your enthusiasm and how well you took to instruction were truly impressive. You've got a natural aptitude for marksmanship! It was a joy to see you progress, and your focus was brilliant. We hope you enjoyed the experience and wish you all the very best! Thank you for teaching me a new way to engage and explain tasks that I find so natural, ingrained and automatic.

A Challenging but Rewarding Day on the Hill.

Another day spent working in Sutherland’s remote landscapes, ensuring the balance of these green spaces is maintained. The terrain tested us, and the weather kept us on our toes, but the team pressed on with care and precision.Managing these landscapes takes dedication, patience, and respect for the environment. Every decision is made with the long-term health of the land in mind, supporting a sustainable future for all who rely on it.Tough work, but always worth it.

This channel is amasing.

I have been binge watching his series on desert farming.

It is incredible to see the ways that some companies have developed extremely effective and in some places remarkably simple solutions.

The contrast to the Scottish Highlands is staggering.

I would highly recommend watching at least some of the content!

A few weeks ago I had Nathan return. This time he brought a friend with him.

Was a great couple days.

Nick shot a nice old stag.

Looking forward to seeing you both again.
