A fine wee circular walk from Glen Turret, up the Corbett Auchnafree Hill near Crieff. Was hoping for a play in the snow, but alas there was none at the summit. Still an enjoyable day. I headed back over Ton Eich & Choinneachain to the start. Fulaim X5 Update: I emailed the company & they sent me a link to purchase a new transmitter. 30 dollars so can't complain. #hiking #scotland

Nice at £60 even better for nowt.. love it.. you must be 'inner daft'.. 😊
Moan the inners 😉
Great review Kev. The seams maybe a bit weak but looks impressive at that price. Hope you’re doing well mate and Storm Bert hasn’t hit too hard.
Cheers bud. Nah okay down here. Well pretty snowy then it aw melted.
Way better nick than I had it Kevin! You did a far better job! Yeh me being 6ft was never going to work. Great review! The hooks are on ebay Wild Sky Gear DCF cuben fibre tarp tent adhesive tie outs stick on 3M Heavy duty 👍 (seems I was unsubscribed from you? 🤔)
Cheers Alan. I'll check them out. 👍🏻 Maybe YT playing up.
@Kev_Russ I know that's how I lost my 15k subs 🤣
@greyhikes5236 15k 😵😱
@@Kev_Russ 🤣
Suggestion instead of side hooks to hold out your inner. Try connecting a line from the top of your trekking pole to a peg at the bottom of the outer tent. Try hooking the fly on to this line and see if it holds it out. Then you don't need to modify the tent itself. It's worth a try?
Good tip that. Worth a try. Cheers. 👍🏻
Amazing sharing ❤❤
Seems like a good tent mate, very light id assume. Good video 👍🏼
Cheers bud. Aye good wee tent like.
Fantastic presentation, Kevin Russell! Looks and sounds amazing! Excellent sharing. Continued success. God bless.
Kev, i have a bit of looped bungee hanging down from the Peak of my mids, this has about 3 knots dropping down, this gives varying heights to hang my 3ful inner.... Allowing for different pitch heights . Hope this helps in some way.... Camping. Oot 🤘
Cheers bud. Good idea that. Might give it a try. 👍🏻
You like your pyramids. Looks a good one, Kev
Love them bud.
Nice one Kev , looks the business, more seam sealing and it will be bang on. Like the colour … Tent daft , yer right, I just bought a Solomid XL 😂
Haha look forward to seeing it. 😉
@ ⛺️🤣
Get ya sel a wee t-zip inner Kev ,ne gannin back after using a t-zip, thumbs up to Al as well for the little gift.
Aye the T zip had sold out when I bought the J yin. I'll need to look into getting one.
Looks a good wee tent for the price Kevin...
Cheers jin
Gid review, mate. I've toyed with these pyramid shelters, as i like the 'outer first..choose inner nest..fettle with bits from the internet' approach. £60 is a steal, I'd say. Be interesting to see how it performs in windy conditions. ATB - Dave. Nice dugs BTW 👍
Cheers Dave. Aye nice dugs but nippy at times. 😂 Hopefully I'll test it oot soon. 🤞
Nice wee tent there and should be good once you've fettled it. Try Wild Sky Gear for attachment points and accessories (no, I'm not sponsored). Thanks for uploading.
Cheers Nick. I'll check them out. 👍🏻
Hello, Young Kev, how've you been keeping? Nice to see you and your wee hounds, not to mention the feline owner of the new tent - looking very much at home there! Just camp oot in the garden next time you're in the doghouse - they'll likely help fill up some of that extra space...!
Haha might do. 😉Am good Paul. Hope your well bud.?
Nice wee video Kevin. Hope your keeping well mate. Aye tent needs a few mods along with seam sealing and Nikwax waterproofing. Still no bad fir £60 even as a summer tent. Atb.
Cheers Tariq. Hope your well too bud.
Its a Palace Kev'..Nice flat field to play in😁..I had a Wind Whisper for a coupla' years, then sold it and bought the Lanshan...WOWSA...fab garden that..ATB from llama_lladee_anny
Cheers Anny. Aye alot of blood, sweat n tears into that garden. 😉
Amazing video ❤ greetings to you from EGYPT ❤ thanks for sharing this lovely video ❤ good luck ❤ so wonderful place ❤ thanks for sharing ❤
Ey up, he’s a good old egg is our Al. What a top thing to do. Looking forward to seeing you out in the new wigwam mate, all the best. 😀⛰🥾🏕️🏴🏴
Wigwam 😂 cheers bud. Aye he's a legend.
Excellent review ma pal, looking forward to seeing it oot in the flesh. ⛺️ 👍🏻 Big tent for Wee Kev. 😅
Am no wee 😂😉 cheers pal. Need a trip soon. 🕺
@ ye even said you were a short arse 🤣 ken hopefully soon 🤞🏼
ooooooo, Kevs got a new tent....watching it now mate
looked really good for the money. was it 70 squid? is that just for the outer? good wee review mate. cheers
@@mad-about-scotlandcheers bud. Aye it's aboot 60 out just for the outer. Think it's over 100 for the inner anaw.
Shexshy 😘😁
Haha 😂 I've plenty tents now so you can borrow one for that long overdue camp we're due. 😉
Amazing video ❤ thanks for sharing this lovely video ❤ i enjoyed it ❤ greetings to you from EGYPT ❤ wonderful views ❤ amazing video ❤
Wow, what a trip! 🏔 An Teallach looks absolutely stunning, and camping below Sail Mhor must’ve been such an epic experience. Those Munros and the cross-country route looked like a solid adventure, and the drone footage was a great touch. Thanks for sharing this awesome journey! 🙌
That is an awesome hike for a wee little one. The view was spectacular.
Kev, stunning ridges (in all directions), weather and views👣👍☀ Cool to see the Golden Eagle🦅 About as much water up there as there would be on Mars, though bog land to the rescue😊 Good to get a decent pitch with a fantastic view of the setting sun. What a glorious morning and second day☀ with more views and cool walking along the river and waterfalls👍
Cheers Gerry 👍🏻
So good review Kevin. Been searching Aliexpress constantly for this tent and now its finally back (at least in one shop on ali) under the flames creed brand. Are you pleased with the red colour? Its an option to buy it in white as well and I cant decide.
Cheers bud. You got a link for it? Might have a wee look. I like the red. Looks good on summit camps in sunsets & sunrises. Nice &, bright too.
Absolutely mega. Thanks for this Kev
Cheers bud

Just watched on the big screen Kev. Just wonderful. An Teallach is a bit of a monster isn’t it. What a day that first one was - just incredible and the Sunset and Sunrise so beautiful. Plus a Goldie too! Perfection. The views across Fisherfield in the morning from Saill Mhor were jaw dropping! Loved watching and following along on this one Kev
Cheers bud. Aye it was a tough, but fine trip like.
Wonderful mountains, views, trip... Thank you for sharing. Video 👍
Superb Kev, fair play to you Lads carrying the camping gear around that route. Looks a great, rugged remote area especially in that weather . 👍
Cheers bud. Aye it was a tough gig. Guid tho

Great adventure Kev. That was an epic 1st day. Sail Mhor looked miles away from An T! Cracking sunset and sunrise. Liked the drone footage. What drone do you use? Thinking about getting one. ATB Derek
Cheers Derek. It does eh, even tho it's only 6 or 7km as the crow flies. It was Robin's drone as he gave me some footage. I'll ask him.
Fantastic swift pitch up and worth it for the wonderful Sunrise Kev. 😍. And a fascinating history of that hill too. Will catch up with your An Teallach vid on the big screen so I can watch properly. We made it back to the UK so now catching up mate. Have a great weekend Kev.
Cheers bud. Hope yis had a good trip.
That looked a slog mate, but well worth it, great views and a cheeky wee wildcamp, top drawer mate 👍
Wis mate. Great conditions 😎
Brilliant Kev.What an area u guys were in.An Teallach is still my fav day out and that looked some distance to Sail Mhor.😃👍
Cheers Andy. Some place eh. 😎 Altho think it's only 6 or 7km away as the crow flies. Looks miles away eh.
Brilliant kev, really enjoyed that. Long hard day there mate but what stunning scenery. That view from the 1st munro over to Sgurr Fiona must be the best in Scotland. Was that Stevie singing Hail Hail the Trio are here😂😂 Got yerself a wee drone kev.? Lovely sunset and sunrise. Aye me & Murchie we’re not too far away camping in the FF. Waterfalls at the end were lovely as well Kev. Top drawer vid👍 ATB Frank
Haha the trio 😂 cheers Frank. Aye it was a cracking weekend weather wise as you know. Got some drone footage from Robin. Maybe in the near future I might get yin.
What a good video. Sunshiny days are great, but it makes the hills just that bit harder. That's an epic combination of hills.
Thanks Janis. 😊
