Wild Camp on an Island in the SKY in the Hilleberg Nallo!
In this video myself and Mark head up to Scotland for a wild camp spot in search of an inversion. We parked up near Loch Lomond and headed for a hill called Beinn Dubh. The hike is very well sign posted and a clear defined track all the way up. We were in a rush to get up as we were losing the sunlight and the sunset was looking good. We popped up out of fog to witness a brilliant inversion over Loch Lomond. We lost the light quickly so we settled on a spot about 100m below the summit. The night turned cloudy so no clouds but at least we woke up to views of the Loch. We packed away and headed back down the hill to find some brekky. I hope you enjoyed this one as much as we did and ill see you on the next one.

    Brilliant camp, that inversion was something else for sure. Recently I've been making various meals at home the day before I go camping, like stew, beef stroganoff, chicken tikka masala that type of thing then pop it in a mylar bag and seal it up and then boil it in the bag at camp. It's good grub without the hassle of preparing and cooking it up there or having pots to clean.

    Great video as always Chris. Those Kuiu Storm Stars are Air Raid shelters mate. I was in my Nammatj last winter in fairly strong winds and although the Nammatj handled it well i got the usual flappery that you get with Hilly kerlon Sil nylon but my mate was in the Kuiu Storm Star and it didnt budge an inch., i mean barely a ripple in the fabric. They perform like expedition standard base camp tents that weigh a lot more. As impressive as they are i dont think i will get one simply because i find Hillys are heavy enough for my liking as far as what i am prepared to lug around especially for a one or 2 nighter and the wind noise never bothers me because i have got ringing in my ears so the wind cancels that out. The other reason that puts me off too is because you can compress the Nallo and the Nammatj much smaller and Tunnel tents can be pitched super quickly and personally in freezing cold wet , windy weather having the ability to get a tent pitched quickly and get inside is more of a priority than carrying around something heavier and more pack bulk. If you want to avoid the flappery and sensations that come with the Hilly inners then i dont think you could find a better tent than the Kuiu at that price point and that weight . As far as longevity goes i am have no idea about the Kuiu so again if i had to choose it would be the Hillys for that reason. Also if you are doing a hike that involves scrambles in gullys etc then personally i want to be light and fast ....Its always a choice of whats the right tool for the job really so when your Mrs says stuff like "You have already got a good tent" , tell her from me that you need at least 5 to cover all bases 😜

      Wow thanks for that comment Plan. I completely agree with you around the weight of tents man. There sometimes has to be a limit and also we need to protect our knees and hips aswell get older so if we can keep the pack weight down then great. But yeh I don't think I'll get one anyways coz I just don't think I'll get the use out of it and I love the Nallo to much. Thanks for watching 👍

      @iamchriswhelan your welcome Chris. If i was going on a trip where i needed a base camp such as an ice climbing trip in Scotland then i would prefer a KUIU but for what i do most of i have my boxes ticked . Very impressive tent though. I will give your mate a sub 👍

    Great video Chris. Cracking set up with the Nallo2. I saw you mentioned in the comments to a previous video that you were swapping over to a Fujifilm X-T3. How are you finding it after using a Sony?

    • @iamchriswhelan
      @iamchriswhelan Місяць тому

      Aye man my favourite setup that Nallo man. After getting with those side winds of over 40mph I'm impressed. Yes mate I have moved over to Fuji now. I only use it for photos. I mainly got it for the film simulations that it does. I prefer it to Sony. Better out of camera colours, lighter, cheaper lenses and probs more reasons to like it.

    • @belowaveragewildcamper
      @belowaveragewildcamper Місяць тому

      @ aye, full frame cameras are probably overkill aren’t they. I bet the X-T3 still knocks out some class video in low light.

    • @iamchriswhelan
      @iamchriswhelan Місяць тому

      @belowaveragewildcamper Yeh it's probs does man and I agree full frame is overkill. I film on the DJI pocket 3 and the action 5 pro. Pocket 3 is class in low light man, better than my eyes haha

    Nice aerial shots Chris. I must get a better drone. Thought I would have a look and sub after your comment on my channel. Like that hilleberg, nallo is it? I was a bit shocked to see all the selling links in the description, though!

    • @iamchriswhelan
      @iamchriswhelan Місяць тому

      Alrite Dave. Glad you like the drone shots. Appreciate you checking out my channel. Aye it's the Hilleberg Nallo. The links are there if anybody sees any of the kit being used and wonders what it is. I don't actively sell them to anybody. The links make it easier for the person watching if they feel like they don't want to comment asking about any kit then they can read them in the description.
