Many years ago I was walking up that exact slope with the well known mountaineer John Grieve, leader of the Glencoe Rescue, when we came on some squaddies doing self-arrest practice under the orders of an officer. The slope was icy and the out-run was dangerous, and we saw a couple of near accidents as the trainees lost control and slid into the rocks at speed. John explained who he was an requested the officer to find a safer spot, but he refused, very arrogantly, and ordered them to continue. This was literally putting their lives at risk. After another refusal, John whipped out his rope and with my help we trussed up the officer hand and foot. John then ordered the squaddies down the hill - which they did, with considerable glee. John took a photo of the officer in this humiliating position, and warned him that if anything happened to the men he'd send it to his commanding officer along with a report detailing his arrogant and irresponsible behaviour. The guy was literally frothing with range and threatening us with all sorts - but he obviously came to his senses because we heard nothing more about it...

Al, you do realise that we all watch these vids just for Blue, right? Great work, as always!

As a solo hiker, I thank you. The “taking care of our own” is a code to be embraced.

Blue is a special dog! You are indeed blessed to have such a fine companion.

Thanks from all walkers for seeing that that chap was ok and could continue his journey

What a spectacular adventure on which we were allowed to tag along with you today. You have a beautiful soul and your love for fellow man and Mother Earth is certainly the mindset we should all strive to emulate. It’s a beautiful Easter Sunday in the Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee and this video made it even more beautiful. Safe travels to you and Blue. Can’t wait for our next adventure.

You are such a lovely man to go to help like that. If only there were more people like you in the world

I like the way Blue looked so confident hiking up the mountain to the man who had fallen.

What a day, always look forward to your adventures l.

I get that same schoolboy grin every time im out hiking, 😊😊

As someone who got injured on Ben Nevis I understand what it means to get a helping hand. Respect.

As much as I love England's scenery, Scotland is just something else. I finally went to Glasgow last October and also went via the West Highland rail line to Fort William and explored some of the natural beauty there, including a walk in the piss rain from Glencoe village to The Three Sisters viewpoint and back. Still jawdropping, despite the grim weather. Also, hats off to you for helping that man.

Excellent viewing. Definitely done the right thing by checking the bloke was alright and helping him down. You never know when you could be the one who's fallen and in need of help 👍🤜👌

I wish that I could give you more than one thumbs up. Very very enjoyable.

Absolute respect for fragging yourself to help that guy who fell. 👍 another great video’

You did well there Al. Good man.

Your bushman skills are obviously fantastic but your filming and editing is top quality also. Well done.

Your a great man for helping them out That scene of blue just outside your tent near the end would make a fabulous portrait of him

🙏🙏 thank god that guy survived 🙏🙏
