@vvs3796 yes I get ya... it does look abit flappy at times. And I was wondering if if I'd set it up wrong at first . Could do with extra but I look at it this way. When the tent was designed they tried many things out before the final design. Messing about adding stuff could this mess the design up and put stress in parts that shouldn't be. I've seen so many people mess with tents thinking they are fixing a problem and then a pole snaps
Hmm, interesting.. But I still think bungee cords will work without adding too much additional tension. Only it would mean this tent needs too many stakes..@@marcjeffreypresents
Army rations , compo , I remember from my cadet days , in the 70's , issued with 1950's surplus. Mostly edible fair , especially the condensed milk tubes , but Mock Turtle soup was not worth opening ; now what the heck was Mock Turtle anyway and why did the Mod think your average soldier think Turtle was so high cuisine fair in the first place ! Nice tent , since I had a brand new Black's tent destroyed on its first use in 50 mph , at least , on Dartmoor , I really approve having a four season tent there !
Keep on looking and researching and go for the tent that suits you not cos everyone else has it. Also don't be frightend to buy secondhand. There are some absolute bargains out there..... like this one lol
Have had my abisco for nearly a year now.. it's a great tent. Have deliberately taken it out in storms and blizzards and it more than coped... I noticed you got the footprint.. I wish I had ...
@@marcjeffreypresentsI have the footprint but I really want to leave it behind for weight savings..but.. Tents is expensive .. However add a footprint and if tent is wet,then it s already over 2kg.. and for this weight there is many cheaper good alternatives..
@@marcjeffreypresents I don't know of any other tents that's a 4 season, with the capabilities and quality that this tent has , that is "much cheaper" !!.. but am always ready to learn..
Just bought one new, can't wait to receive it. I may seam seal it. I hear the fabric has 160kg breaking point so guessing the flapping isn't an issue. Bushman and Blue use theirs in storms.
@@marcjeffreypresents Forgot to reply, sorry! 4 mountain top wild camps later and the Abisko Lite 1 it is performing well. My only gripe really is condensation, however I think any small tent has that issue. Other than that, it has been robust. Haven't yet used it in very strong winds or sustained rain. I did seam seal it after watching one or two videos recommending it (it came with seam sealant anyway). Duly subscribed Sir.
@@marcjeffreypresentsu may want to have a better look, during the day light, whilst u r in a tent ,and when tent is under tension. Leak is not my concern. Concern is that these things fabric will start fraying and holes get bigger .
@vvs3796 I will take alook next time iam out. I haven't heard of this issue from anyone but that's not to say it wouldn't happen. Fingers crossed yours is OK if not give fjallraven a call iam sure they will be able to give you some sound advice my friend
Excellent tent, I have the footprint, summer mesh inner and extra pole set and used it in all conditions and never had any issues with it. Sets up in 5-10 minutes max, and the trickiest part is switching the inners around... but that's what a garden is for.
Love this mate. I was abit concerned as thought the tent looked a little flappy but can't get it any better and just came to the conclusion it must be like that due to the thin material 😉
@@marcjeffreypresents I always try to get the vestibule end direct into wind and make full use of the vestibule protection. I'm not bothered about views and I'd rather have the security. The cross wind performance is probably the only issue I have if it changes during the night, hence why I (eventually) got the extra pole set..
Awesome video, loving the new tent bud. Great to see all me boys out together.
Yeh boi !!
Nice video! I have the same one but the UN blue color. Splendid tent.
Oh I do like that colour but this offer came that I couldn't turn down so I suppose it was ment to be
Awesome video mate and a great camp zoey enjoyed her self
Great adventure Marc, loved my wild camp in storm Babet on Dartmoor in my Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1. Great tent low profile and keeps you dry!
Ahh cheers mate, it's a cracking tent, think she's a keeper lol
I m using same tent and backpack..
Thinking of adding a few loops for extra pegs on the fly sheet to make side panels flap less in strong winds.

Yes it came with the tent . Like I said I had a total bargin but very pleased from first came

Let me know how you get on... I haven't seam sealed mine and apparently I've seen them being used in some pretty narly conditions

@hedleythorne sorry for late reply. Currently at South africa airport with very little WiFi. Thanks for the comment and sub
may i ask if you noticed any needle holes along the seams on your tent when it s pitched ?and if it s normal at all? bcs fabric is very thin..
@vvs3796 no mate I can't say I noticed this at all if your concerned at all try going over the seams with some seam seal just to be sure

@@malesu1068 so you put it sideways onto the wind ?
