Everybody would rather have a Hilleberg, even those that deny it.

Great video, we loved it.

Eday looks lovely. I'm back up to Orkney on holiday in May, and hoping to visit another couple of the islands that I haven't been to yet. I like the ones where you can walk for miles and not see another human 😆

Good too see, great to see my brothers best friend, from behind great celtic man ,you know who you are 😂

Abisko Lite 1.... I'm trapped with it myself. The only problem I see is the lack of availability for spare parts. What if you breack the main pole? Probably the pole for an Akto may work... What if you lose one of the four shorter poles? good luck with that :D. I've searched a lot and there's no spare parts at all from Fajlraven... but thy continue selling the tent.

Beautiful 😻

Lovely place my friend, music fits so perfectly!

Fantastic cinematography ❤xxx

I have known you for many many years bud And that's the quietest you ever been 😂😂 Sorry couldn't help myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice and peaceful vid though 👍👍👍👍

Beautiful country!! Great video, love your little dog! I'm not much of a traveler but i would love to come see these isles.

Mine are Stanley Arthur and Lucy Louise .

Not spent a lot of time down that way ,well bar working in the area Looks a nice place to visit, with quite a bit of history And the wee cottage you are staying at looks the biz

DCF shrinks significantly over time. A new Duo Mid should be quite bigger than your old one. My new MLD bags look supersized compared to the 15-year old versions.

Life at its best 👌 x

Part of the country I've never considered though I might now.

I absolutely detest the Abisko Lite 1 and 2. Any tent you cannot sit up in without pressing your head into the top of the tent is next to worthless. Just buy a OR Helium Bivy you are okay with lack of space inside. The Abisko Lite 2 also has too much useless space inside the vesitubule. While it does allow you to enter the sleeping quarters of the tent without the weather also entering, the long sloping vestibule leaves really no room for egress without also tossing your pack out into the weather. I really love the Abisko View 2. You can sit up in it and the vestibule is large enough to place your pack in without it being in the way.

Great wee walk Col 😊

Fjallraven is supposedly pfas-free whereas hilleberg is not.

Thx for sharing

My ancestors ruled for 400 hundred years. I told queen Elizabeth in 1975 I will return to take it back but for NOW I"M an American and agreed to let her son be the pretender.

Thanks Big Man , very practical.

Your clocking up the mileage in your camper now Col Most campers I see just sit people's drive ways 😁 Will watch the vid later bud

Typical Scottish weather. One minute gorgeous sunshine the next, hail, rain and gale force winds. Fabulous 😁

Fantastic video 👍

Is that you heading to your spiritual home land Col I'm glad you edited out yourself painted blue and dancing round the fire 😁😁😁😁😁

Another great video! I'm scratching my head wondering why you don't have more subscribers. Keep at it mate.

I really enjoyed your video. I've subscribed and will check out the rest of your videos. Keep up the good work!

Of course NOW youtube gives me this video, not while I was searching "abisko lite 1" on every platform over the past week or so... I did end up ordering the Lite 1 yesterday, after waffling between it and the very similar Scarp 1. That Lite 2 here looks wonderfully palatial for one person but I just couldn't pass up that 3lbs/1.5kg and packability of the Lite 1. We'll see once it arrives next week if the space works for me!

Thanks for this review, very helpful

Lovely video, staying overnight Sunday on my way across from my home in Northumberland. Off up Monday to Lochgoilhead for a few days😎🏍️

Looked like my kinda island Col,not full of those pesky humans And just admit it Col you tripped Kirsty

Just watched this whilst sat on Innis Chonnel Island! You're right about the long drops toilets! Very breezy but no danger of splash back at least! 😂💦👍

Hey, can I fit an xl sleeping pad inside the abisko because it looks very small

As a swede, the butchering of the pronunciation of "Fjällräven" is really funny.

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. Just found a great deal on one for a 4-day Mt Whitney trip and this was very helpful!

I could watch these videos just to see your adorable Westie . I lost my Lou Lou Such amazing characters .

Lovely island Ettrick bay

Great video, love the island. My favorite place is Scalpsie Bay with its seals and otters, a magical place.

Hi, great video. Why is MLD products not popular in the US ,I've never seen any american youtuber using them.

This is an excellent review! Thanks very much

To my eyes I always find sand tents to be the ultimate in stealth. They just seem to melt into whatever landscape pitched on. Unlike green tents on green grass.

Brilliant video, showing the gorgeous island off at it's best ❤ We visited Rothesay and Mount Stuart in April on a tour and many mentioned parts of the town are a bit shabby and run down. Such a shame. Wouldn't cost much to smarten it up 🖌️

Great review, thank you. I'm also 5 10" can you tell me please what size pack do you have s/m or m/l and what torso size are you? Many thanks

Seeing as one of the manufacturers recommends a waterproof covering for your sleeping bag, or a little towel to wipe down the condensation on the inner of the tent, and then charges you a considerable amount more then the other manufacturer, the decision is easy !!!

Great review and I'm in 100% agreement on your assessment of both tents. I really wanted to like the Hilleberg but the Abisko won for me too plus it's cheaper as you say!

Fantastic review! Ordering one right now for my upcoming 85 walk.

Cool review. I'm planning to maybe do the West Highland Way in a few years, alone or with a mate. I would go for the Fjälraven Abisko 1 for sure. Thanks, greetings from the Netherlands.

Thanks very much for the review, helped me a lot to choose a tent from these 3 options. Also going with the Lite 2, just the best option for a multi purpose all year round all weather use!
