Hidden Tarn Wild Camp In The Scafells With Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2

[@camping_guru_uk]

I'll be camping for a week next summer in Borrowdale so this area looks great, some proper stuff to get out teeth into. Cheers for once again a well put together vid.

[@burrianaUK]

Spectacular spot - is that Lambfoot Dub? That Fjällräven tent is brilliant. I’m sure you’ve seen Bushman & Blue… he uses it and regularly has it out in as extreme weather as we’re ever going to get! 😀

[@borderraiders]

That’s the one! Yeah seen a few vids on it, potentially the most well thought out tent we have used to do, plenty of more testing first thought before we can make a proper judgement haha. All the best - BR

[@richardfromcornwall5492]

Thanks, Chaps, for a really well made, insightful and descriptive video which really captured the essence of the hike on a really spectacular day and evening. I’ll now be subscribing to the channel and look forward to watching more videos going into the Autumn and Winter.

[@JonothanHodgson]

Tremendous videos lads and always very informative, hopefully plenty more to come 👍 great to see people getting out and enjoying a few beers in the wild. Lucky to have the lake district on our doorstep and watching these i cant wait for my next outing in the trusty helm 2.

[@sammers82]

Well done lads! The quality of your content is top shelf 🙌🏻

[@borderraiders]

Thanks mate, made up to hear you enjoyed it! - All the best - BR

[@garysgotatent]

Yep,content is great.always look forward to watching this channel.filming quality is excellent.

[@garysgotatent]

Ps,was this filmed on the iPhone 13.i,m at that buy a new camera or upgrade the phone crossroads.i had the lite 2.great tent and front and back roll up for hot weather.

[@borderraiders]

@@garysgotatent we both use the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Think the latest iPhone is the 15. Can only imagine how good that must be, particularly in low light. All the best

[@dudleyclements2736]

Wow, I'm almost speechless. That scenery blows my mind. I love a good wildcamp and I'm lucky enough to only be about an hours drive from Dartmoor National Park but man that is something else. Top spot guys.👌

[@borderraiders]

Cheers pal, it’s an incredible landscape with some great peaks to have a crack at. We’ve never been to Dartmoor but it looks great, definitely on our to do list! All the best - BR

[@cols_serenescapes]

Another boss video lads. Great hidden spot, good combo of chat, landscape and kit reviews in this one. 😊

[@borderraiders]

Thanks Collin, happy to hear you enjoyed it! All the best - BR

[@hedleythorne]

What a spot! Love the inversion.

[@Northern_Rockhopper]

Absolute beaut of a pitch this lads, scenery is unreal. Thanks for having me on as a guest btw… that’s me pitched up on Great End in the x-mid 17:10 haha..🏕️

[@borderraiders]

Nice one Rick! It certainly was and you must have had an absolute unbelievable view up there! That’s quality that it was you, pretty sure once the sun had set you looked down on us with your head torch on and we looked back! All the best - BR

[@karlosmc7261]

Brilliant watch fellas. Such a class location. You wouldn’t even know it was there. We were at styhead back in May and even then that was class.

[@borderraiders]

Thanks mate! Was a great spot, a real hidden gem. Got great memories camping at styhead aswel, hope you had a good one. All the best 👍 BR

[@garethrichardson9806]

Absolute beautiful pitch lads what a sun set

[@borderraiders]

Nice one Gareth, it genuinely was an unbelievable pitch, up there for sure amongst the best we’ve had 👌 thanks for watching and all the best - BR

[@andykeast8920]

A great watch fellas. Amazing spot with your own pool and great weather. Really impressed with Sam’s tent. - love my Helm compact 2 but the idea of one bigger covered porch area as well as it being so light weight is a consideration for future. Love you guys. Such impressive editing and drone use.

[@borderraiders]

Thanks Andy really appreciate the support mate, always good to hear you enjoying the vids! Was a cracking spot. Looking forward to putting the abisko through its paces, and your right the vestibule is a great size, very practical for cooking etc. As you know though we’re also big fans of the helm compact 2! All the best 👍 BR

[@valblackburn48]

Excellent video as always 👌 and what a stunning location. If this doesn't make people want to give wild camping a try i don't know what will 😍 Don't you just love getting new gear .... I get so excited 😃 its quite addictive 😮 😂 Thanks for sharing 😁 take care guys.

[@borderraiders]

Thanks Val it was a lovely spot, one of our favourites for sure. Hopefully many more people can enjoy the it and the outdoors in general 🤞 Take care and all the best - BR

[@colbrown1080]

Cracking video lads , look forward to the next 1 👍

[@borderraiders]

Thanks for watching mate, much appreciated! Little delay on the next one but it will be well worth it believe us! It may or may not involve a little trip to Scandinavia and incredibly tall mountains 👀

[@SteveRiley-ch2rn]

Another good video lads and what an amazing spot! Looking forward to seeing the winter camps and how the Blizzard 2 compares to the Abisko Lite - both contenders for my next winter tent. Good luck with the channel.

[@borderraiders]

Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed the vid! We’re really looking forward to giving the tents a proper test this winter and see how they compare when In adverse weather! All the best mate 👍 BR

[@TheStevler]

Thanks for a great video guys. What an amazing spot for a camp. As they say they the best things in life are free, it just takes a bit of effort to get there. You're sending out a great message to us all to get out there and enjoy nature. We all live relatively close to amazing places to camp. Wild camping may not be for everyone but it has to be an antidote to the stresses of life that can sometimes overwhelm us.

[@borderraiders]

Hit the nail in the head mate! It can and definitely does help us put things in to perspective and reminds us to stay focused on what’s important in life. The beauty is that people can participate in whatever fashion works for them. Thanks for the kind words and all the best - BR

[@TheStevler]

Well said. Couldn't agree more. Looking forward to your next video.

[@TheStevler]

PS. Do you know a cure for gear acquisition syndrome, I'm suffering badly at the moment. Can't stop buying tents!

[@borderraiders]

Hahahaha Godspeed! If you find a cure then please do share it with us 🤣🤣

[@borderraiders]

@TheStevler will be a few weeks before the next one but it may or may not involve a little trip to Scandinavia 👀

[@MrMattymole]

Another cracking video chaps!

[@borderraiders]

Cheers mate, made up to hear you found some value in it! Take care - BR

[@SteamyG]

Awesome vid and camp spot, this channel deserves a lot more subs

[@borderraiders]

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. All the best - BR

[@PhilNiker]

Boss video perfect spot 👍

[@borderraiders]

Cheers mate, it’s was special 👌 all the best - BR

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Just came across your channel lads as I have a Fjallraven Abisko lite 2 👍 great camp spot that lads 👍 just subbed ATB Simon & Mark

[@borderraiders]

Glad you found some value in it fellas, it’s an absolutely cracking spot! We’ve been subscribers of yours for a while now, top draw every time. Keep it up fellas 👌 all the best - BR

[@2785Luke]

Argh so jealous! Can’t get out till mid October for my next camp 😢. Another great pitch lads. Always enjoy watching you guys very inspiring!

[@borderraiders]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Will come round before you know it mate, have a good one and take care! All the best - BR

[@garywelch7969]

Perfect pitch Perfect weather 👌 love the drone footage.

[@borderraiders]

Cheers Gary, glad to hear you enjoyed it mate! Drone footage takes care of itself when the views are so good. All the best - BR

[@merseypicsvids]

KZbin algorithm just threw up this video. Good to find a chanel with two fellow Scousers. Accents sound like the north of the city?

[@justinwright2045]

Brilliant this lads 🙏🏻

[@markj1679]

Another top video 👌🏼

[@borderraiders]

Cheers Mark, glad you enjoyed it made. Hope you are keeping well 👍

[@lessismore83009]

Fantastic 👌

[@borderraiders]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@wadirunner]

This was my St. Stephens Day viewing. What another superb video. Incredible scenery and what a gem of a pitch, although, as you say, that first tarn where ye stopped for lunch was pretty good too!! Hard to believe you only have

[@borderraiders]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it as much as us mate 🙌 yeah when sitting up close it is just above head height, for us it works however. We have the blizzard 2 and after some use it’s now apparent the head height just isn’t feasible for long stints in which you want to sit up properly. In the abisko we find it’s just about right given the weight and strength considerations. Yeah the paragon looks a great bag but you are correct, the focal is a few hundred grams lighter. All the best mate - BR

[@2785Luke]

I say this every time you post a camp how has this only had 488 views and 69 likes 🤷🏻‍♂️. Looking forward to spending Easter weekend with the family in the lakes. No wild camping unfortunately we’re staying at Wasdale national trust campsite.

[@borderraiders]

Thanks mate and have an amazing time up in the lakes with your family, hopefully you get some good weather to go with it 🤞all the best - BR

[@f33zlyf33zly]

Sick spot that lads 👌🏻👌🏻

[@borderraiders]

Nice one and yeah it was an absolute cracking spot this one! All the best - BR

[@philh6477]

Camped there a year back, it's a great spot.

[@borderraiders]

Cracking spot mate, up there amongst the best we have had the pleasure of! All the best - BR

[@jamiebassnett]

Class video guys! 👌

[@borderraiders]

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍 all the best - BR

[@MrGclyde]

Hiya, I'm a newbie at wild camping and wonder if you could provide a list of everything that you take on a hike, including clothing etc 😊

[@borderraiders]

Thanks for the comment, so we are looking at making a kit video on what kit we take on camps, unfortunately you will have to bear with us. In the meantime if you google wild camping equipment checklist, search to summit have a very good list on their site. All the best 👍 BR

[@craigy1872]

What a brilliant video, thoroughly enjoyed it 👍🏻👍🏻 I don’t see it in the description so can I ask what sleep mats you’re using. I’m new to this and all that’s stopping me from getting out is deciding on a mat. Would like something that can see me through autumn, but think I’ll leave the winter stuff for now 😂 Cheers

[@borderraiders]

Thanks for watching 👍 so we have the Thermarest xlite and all season sv. The last few years these have really gone up in price and there are other mats that would probably take our pick if we had to chose a replacement tomorrow, one being the Big Agnes Rapide SL. Whilst we haven’t used this, its competitively priced for the specs. Hope this helps, all the best - BR

[@KevS2907]

Great video lads, are you still using the Abisko lite? How do you feel about now? Still as good ?
