[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers buddy, that's great to hear 🙏 thanks for watching and commenting, it's massively appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@stuarthatton1973]

stunning camp mate , great footage as always 👏 loved that little reservoir , I think that would be great for a novice to wild camp , I think you're right in pointing the flaws out of the tent in the manner you did , no one better to point these things out than the people who use them on a regular basis . Stuart

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers Stuart, yeah it's a cracking little spot, and not difficult to get to, I needed somewhere so I could get back to the car quickly, and I've now got a route for 2 summits for later in the year, so it worked perfectly 👌 hopefully Henry realises I'm right, what a tent it will be if he makes it 💪 glad you enjoyed it buddy, catch you soon, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@CampingDan85]

Banging spot for a camp. Definitely think the snow skirt is better option. ATB Dan 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers Dan, was a great spot, especially as I had it to myself 😁 yeah it's a cracking tent, but definitely needs something to stop the snow getting in, catch you soon bro, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕❤️

[@barryjeffries2067]

Hi Paul Great footage from the drone, beautiful scenery. Always get a lot out of videos. Thanks for your hard work, on the channel.

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Nice video Paul. Take care and catch you on the next one 😊

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers buddy, as always its great to hear you enjoyed it 😁 have a great week, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Funny enough someone commented to me that new scarp was supposed to be lower to the ground. Good on Henry for replying. He said it doesn't as it might wear on rocks but NEVER have I camped on rocks!

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

I definitely saw it somewhere, pretty sure it was mainstream 🤔 hopefully Henry realises that there's lots of people out there saying it needs to go to the ground, like I say just put a robust hem on it! Definitely fair play to him for replying, roll on my first rock camp next weekend 🤣🤣🤣 atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@MountainsAndMore]

Had a night up there just before the snow storms... lovely and easy to get to... I should have maybe read those signs about the bridge!! I've got the action 4 and just got the Mic Mini... I can recommend 👌 Good video bud

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers buddy, glad you enjoyed it 😁 yeah it's nice and easy to get to, just what I needed so I could get back to the car in the morning 👌 a cracking spot for a camp, and even better I had it to myself 💪 upgrading to the action 5 pro is in the lead by a good margin now, it should be better than the action 3 that I'm using now by a good bit, looking forward to the wireless mic too 😀 thanks for watching and commenting, it's really appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@freddyoutdoors]

Really enjoyed watching looked a ace place and great job of trying to make tents better for everyone

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers Freddy, as always its great to hear. Yeah just trying to do my bit to resolve a clearly visible issue. Catch you soon bro, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕💙

[@freddyoutdoors]

Cheers buddy, glad you enjoyed it, I've done the ones on the left hand side as you approach the res, planning the rhs ones for better weather (and views🤣) thanks for watching and commenting, it's really appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@GaryMorris222]

@ACumbrianladoutdoors no problem buddy hope you get the views 👍

[@maxbear2202]

Well done and yes I am 100% with your comments made.

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers buddy, hopefully together we can make Henry see the truth in what I'm saying 👍 thanks for watching and commenting mate, it's really appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@stewartgregson8479]

Love your videos. I must admit I wouldn’t want the scarp coming down to the ground or at least not in the sil nylon as I think it would lead to condensation, I see the tent as an all rounder rather than a specific tent for winter. A snow skirt that can be added as needed sounds like the best idea. I think it’s hard for the American brands, as they will sell far more of their tents in the American market where when they have snow it’s there and stays there and not our kind of weather when it can be come and gone in a few hours😂. They have to think commercially what works. All opinions valid and respect yours too! Cheers

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers buddy, that's awesome to hear 😁 if the sides were "sinchable" then when there's no snow the tent would be just as ut is now, we would just lift the sides up, then drip them for snow. Hopefully they do make an attachable snow belt, it's a good compromise, and yeah they do have different weather to us for sure, I understand that, the UK especially the Lakes can only be described as very changeable 🤣 thanks for watching and commenting, it's really appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@craigpalmer347]

Looking forward to this one mate 👍🫡

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Hope you enjoy buddy 🙏

[@craigpalmer347]

@ loved it pal 🫡

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

@craigpalmer347 always good to hear that mate 😁 atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@tentipiwildcamping]

Get the DJI Action 5 Pro adventure kit and mic 2. Up to the next level with your filming mate. New tent can wait till summer 😊 You know it makes sense.

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers Daz, it looks a great bit of kit for sure, weighing up my options at the moment, the pro 5 is in the lead 😀 catch you soon bro, atb 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@adge_ventures4915]

Ohhhhh you said the magical kuiu word ........ I've had almost as many of those as i have scarps 🤣 The flysheet thing is frustrating. I love the ventilation of the scarp but i agree with you that the flysheet needs to be lower 😁 You could also consider a bigger ultralight tent if you're planning any multi dayers this year 😊 Take care mate, Adge and B

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers Adge, how do you rate the Stormstar, does it go right to the ground 🤔 yeah i admire Henry for having confidence in his products, and they are fantastic, but i think it's time to admit that the Scarp NEEDS to go to the ground, the rubbing problem is easily solved 👌 it would be an absolute tank of a tent! I've been contemplating a Durston (xmid) i think, the one with the offset poles that don't get in the way 😁 catch you soon buddy, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@adge_ventures4915]

​@@ACumbrianladoutdoors the storm star is an absolute gem. Best 2 person 4 season tent in my opinion 😊 Yea, Henry always communicates tbf which is honourable. I do think a lower fly would be beneficial 🙂 Xmid is a great shout. For the money it's unbeatable. Nice and long internally too so it'll suit you space wise. Catch you soon 😊

[@garyvause2475]

Listened 2u 4 to the floor no drafts

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

As long as it's made so we can sinch the sides up we can have ventilation when required 👌 thanks for watching and commenting, it's really appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@matteotamberini2152]

Get the tent your camera gear is fine 👌

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Cheers buddy, appreciate your answer 👍 atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@dgonz1413]

One question if I may, what other 1.3kg storm worthy tent would you have taken instead?

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

A very valid question my friend, there's no doubting that the Ultra is light, and a fantastic tent, I've been a massive advocate of it for many years now. Storm worthy? Absolutely, as long as there's no snow about, my point being that in mine and Cat's scenarios there was no option to build a snow wall prior to going to sleep, therefore snow got inside the tent. A question for you, if I may, if they made the Ultra go to the floor, and hemmed it with a material that wouldn't wear on the ground, how much extra weight would be added, I estimate on the conservative side that it would still be sub 1.5 kg, and then a true 4 season tent that won't let snow in, and sinching the sides up for ventilation when required. Thanks for watching and commenting, it's really appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@dgonz1413]

@ACumbrianladoutdoors Good question. If I were to often camp in windy snow driven conditions, my research would've guided me in a different direction, given every scarp 1 youtube review mentions the fly failing to meet the ground and the fiddly arch pole inserts. I probably would've emailed Terra Nova asking them to produce a 100-110cm wide, 1.5kg terra nove branded version of the Helm 1. Maybe a 20d fly with a 40d sil nylon strip where it meets the ground & a 40d floor similar to fjallraven's abisko line. Hey, I am a bit envious of you and your mate's ability to sleep through a long winter evening in the midst of all of the wind driven snow. Well played.

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

@dgonz1413 I love the scarp, and it seems such a simple fix to make an already great tent even better. To be fair I'm not out in the snow that often, but I like to be prepared if I am. Yeah no issues sleeping through, ear plugs do help 🤣 atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@BTurner.]

I have the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro and DJI Mic2, a massive upgrade from my GoPro Hero 8.

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

I'm currently using the OA3 when in the forest or close up to things the footage is ever so slightly fish eyed, seriously thinking about the 5 pro and the wireless mic 2 😁 thanks for watching and commenting, it's really appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@danny.k.87]

4 season tents are to the ground simple. Problem is Henry doesn’t listen. He will never fix and put the tents to ground as it will incur abrasion and tents will end back with him with repairs and he doesn’t want that extra cost et . Not forgetting the issue with abrasion on the top arch poles I believe giving out elastic bands to solve the issue. I’ve owned black label soulo and currently have kuiu storm star 2. I wouldn’t go anywhere near the scarp far better tents for more money and also less money

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

I agree mate, definitely to the ground, all he has to do is put a robust hem on the bottom and the rubbing problem is solved. I'm currently contemplating getting a kuiu stormstar 2 as I need something that can be relied on in snowy conditions. Hopefully Henry will see the light and make a true 4 season Scarp. Thanks for watching and commenting, it's really appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@danny.k.87]

@ great channel good to see you out 👏

[@bernardscott1783]

If you don’t tell him the faults he’s going to be none the wiser mate

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Couldn't agree more matey, that's why I emailed him, hopefully this video and the comments will help Henry realise 👍 thanks for watching and commenting mate, it's really appreciated, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

[@paulsleightholm8756]

Paul, you have definitely got balls of steel been out in this weather, plus another great video stay safe buddy 👍

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

🤣🤣🤣 cheers mate, definitely a lot warmer than my last two camps ❄️🥶 glad you enjoyed it mate, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁
