- Out wild camping to try this new pyramid style, ultralight mountain tent.
The tent used on this trip was the 1.5P DCF Pyramid made by a guy called 'Jumper Home Studio'. He was small ultralight tent and gear manufacturer based in China and not long after this film was made he sadly passed away in a mountain accident whilst out hiking.
The location for this wild camping trip was near the summit of Beinn Ìme, the highest of the Arrochar Alps at (1011 metres). The weather changed from sunny intervals to high winds and rain during the evening, which turned out to be ideal conditions for testing the tents overall performance.

Just to let everyone know that Jumper Home who made the tent was sadly killed in a mountain accident in August. My thoughts are with his friends and family at this time and is a sad loss to the outdoor community :(
Kudos Ray for the deer fence part. Climbing over twice to take the shot, only to find what you did! Great video. Thanks.
Brilliant Video. I have to say I’ve watched your films all through the pandemic, and particularly when it was very stressful times, they really helped me relax and think of enjoying nature. You have a brilliant presenting style and are a great ambassador to your country. Thank You. Jeff.
Many thanks and glad you enjoy them. Atb
I had to have a manly giggle when you showed that deer fence ending...
especially as he had to climb it three times - once to set up the camera, once to get back over again, and then the final filmed version ;-)
Thanks Ray, very chilled and enjoyable video. 🙏
So much good stuff in this one :D Cheers!
Nice one Ray , pity about the clag but still good to be out mate ..Good to see other CZcamsrs meeting up.. I just watched Andrews version too..cheers Stevie
Thanks 👍
Fantastic video, as usual, Ray! Thanks for the inspiration!
You have a wonderful day!🤗
Thanks for sharing your video with us. Stay Safe
Very nice wee camp, cheers for the good entertainment
Interesting Ray! I loved the fence shot! Treated myself to some new kit...I got the STS extreme pad and a enlightened equipment quilt! Cany wait to try them..cheers Paul
Another great video Ray! Was funny with the deer fence! Sort of thing that happens to me but you've got to laugh!
Another great video Ray, thanks...
Thanks 👍
We are so lucky to have scenery like that in the British isles. Fantastic video again Ray.
Thanks Earnest. Atb
Great video. Thanks for sharing Ray.
Thanks for watching. Atb
Thanks for taking us along ,editing and gear review aswell 👍
Thanks Alan. Atb
Really good camera work in this one!
Beautifully shot, engaging and very informative. Thanks Ray!
Thanks. Atb
Great vid pal 👍
Thanks, Atb.
You climbed that Munro 4 times with all the camera set ups. It sure made the story composition great. Thanks, Ray. 🙂👍🏴
Thanks 👍
Excellent Ray. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Atb
I camped up near the top of Beinn Ime on the bank holiday weekend a few weeks ago. A lovely spot with amazing views and we had great weather! A bit of a trek coming up from Ardgarten and past the Cobbler on the way up though. Had a great evening but got pretty cold at night, need to invest in a warmer and much lighter sleeping bag and some other lighter kit but was just using old stuff I already have as just starting out (lightweight kit is pretty expensive). Despite only getting a few hours sleep I enjoyed it greatly and can't wait to get out in the hills again! Cheers for the quality content Ray, keep it coming!
It has some great views if the weather plays ball and glad you had a great time. Atb
Another great video Ray, that deer fence tho🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another great video Ray. Re the damp sleeping bag. I sometimes pull a thin bin bag up just over the end of the bag if I'm in a tent that lets it brush on the inner.
Good tip!
Nice one ray I weren't to far other side of rest and be thankfull last tues weather was horrendous aborted went back this Mon. it was gorgeous mad weather .
Yes it was. Atb
Sorry Ray but did have a giggle about the fence , great video again 🤭
After seeing where the deer fence ended I think I’d have to stop and have a wee dram.
Great video as always Ray. The tent looks decent. Although I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of the single skin tents. I have the Lunar solo, which I will be selling for this reason. Great camp and vid as always. ATB, Craig
Cheers mate. Atb
Love it. Murphy's law in action.
Great video, as per always! Yes the foot box getting wet is a big issue for extended trips. I had to change tent due to that exact issue on my thru hike of the Southern Upland Way in November last year. It rained solidly for 15 days, so could never dry my kit outside, and the down was just getting ruined. So that’s now a dealbreaker for me in a tent it must be said!
Thanks for sharing! Atb
I think the Zpacks Altiplex would be the ideal pyramid tent for you Ray....Itll probably be my first such shelter anyway but I'm 6ft 2 so ....anyway keep the reviews and wild camps coming as there're not only entertaining but useful for reference etc too, ATB Mark :)
looks a very nice area
Very! Atb
Nice one ray. I was up that was Saturday passed by Sunday on my way to Galloway. Tent looks ok not convinced like you the vent is a bit concerning. Good job with the deer fence 😂 😂 when you said “andrew park has a…..” I shouted “Disease” 😂 😂 aye. Good to see you out in the hills 👍
Cheers mate and he know doubt as a disease. Tent buying disease, lol. Then again maybe I caught that off him. Atb
@@RS.Outdoors I think it’s worse than corona 😂
Great video as usual Ray, I actually burst oot laughing 😂 when you got to the end of that deer 🦌 fence 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣 atb 🏴🏔🏕
Yep, it was a peach. Atb
Hi Ray, liked the video, the fence was a classic though, been there ha! what was your settings for the timelapse iv'e got 3 cameras that have the function but never knew what to set it too. Atb Will.
Timelapse was on the gopro. Just whatever it is on that as standard, just select timelapse and press record ;) Atb.
Ah, the fence segment, where’s Alanis Morissette when you need her ?
Looks like you all had a great night though, hope you enjoyed the whisky 👍
ATB
Looked a great location Ray , 2 of YTs top tent gurus on one hill lol ... Jury still out on the tent ? Single skin is always gonna get the end of the bag damp unless use a bivvi, which I suppose defeats the object . TFS atb Dave
Yep that's the issue. The inner I had for my Duomid was about 260 grams, so not much heavier than some bivvys. Atb
Great vlog - recognised the hil behind you at the start - a great mountain . Nice wee route up this side of the hill too - went up and through to Arrochar from Butterbridge a few years ago. So refreshing going up the quieter side of mountains. You made the fence crossing look easy (I know it’s not !!) lol. Great vlog and catch up soon mate
ATB

PS what was the wee whisky you had ?
It was Laphroaig :) Atb
I have lost count of the number of times I've climbed over or under fences and then found myself in that very same scenario 90 seconds later 🤣😂
Great video Ray.. Funny re fence. What sleeping bag do you use?
It is the Sea to Summit SP3.
What are your thoughts on single skin tents with UK use?
Another top video BTW
Still in two minds. There is benefits to both systems. Main thing is if it is large enough to stop your sleeping bag touching the flysheet and absorbing any condensation. Many people then use a thin bivvy bag to overcome that problem and in that case might as well have an inner tent. Downside to an inner like with my Duomid is having to set it up which takes a bit of time. Not clear cut mate. Atb
Nice one Ray, enjoyed that! Was it condensation on the sleeping bag or contact water from the fly?
It was contact water, rest of bag was bone dry. Atb
@@RS.Outdoors thanks, was just wondering with the DCF 👍
Lovely video Ray, thanks for sharing your wee adventure! 😀⛰🥾🏴
Great video! Could you please give me some information on the chest pouches you use on your camping trips. Thank you
They are called a RibzPack that I bought from the USA years ago. Few places in UK used to stock them but I don't think they are made anymore. Atb.
Thank you, I thought they looked like the Kielty logo! Thanks for the reply, will have a search about
I admit... I laughed at the fence.
Great video! I'm thinking of getting those Fjallraven trekking tights, just wondering how long you've had them, do you use them all the year round and are they worth the money?
They're obviously good for climbing fences lol. Hope you had a wee dram later. Cheers
I have had this pair for about 3 years and you will see the same pair in my older films. They have held up well with no damage or repairs yet. My go to for the majority of the year and use as my thermal layer in winter under my salopettes. Atb
Another great video, thanks 👍. Although I find it odd, that the tent receives a positive review, after it's wet your sleep system and leaks through the vents. I suppose this is our culture nowadays, to save a few grams 🤔
It performed well in the conditions and the points I made are not as bad as they seem, there where just small drops of water. Any single wall shelter like that you will most likely end up with a wet sleeping bag, just the nature of the setup. That's why you will see many use a thin bivvy bag to protect there sleeping bag. It was great in the high winds and with the rain bombing down later there was no other water ingress. As matter of fact I thought the condensation issue would be 10x times worse than it was. There are some tweaks that can be made and have spoken to the manufacturer, so watch this space. Atb
Hi, do you know if they make even a 4 season inner tent...?
I am waiting on an updated version to my specs which I will be adding an removable 4-aeson inner to. Hope to have it in a few weeks.
What do you use to edit your videos Ray? Great little tent test.
I use the free version of Davinci Resolve. Looks complex but once you watch a few YT videos on how to use it I find it easier than some paid stuff I had used for years. Atb
Brilliant video! Any chance you can let me know what the piece of background music is that starts at 11:40?
Not sure on title as it is a serial number. Bought some paid music to avoid copyrights and as such. If you subscribe to services such as Tubebuddy you also get free music from Epidemic sounds as a perk. Atb
@@RS.Outdoors I managed to use "shazam" on it ... its called "The Light Descends" by Assaf Ayalon :-)
Shame you guys could not sit out for a crack on, but really enjoyed that.
Yeh, was a bit of a shame as had been out with Andy for about a year and a half. Atb
That’s my luck finding the fence is open a hundred yards away. Ha ha ha
Shame about the clag, but I bet the company and the dram made up for that. 👌🏼 I found the Summit to Eat chicken fried rice a bit bland.
Thought the meal was not too bad and seasoned well. Maybe down to when it was made and if ingredients change maybe. Was looking not bad with the weather until Andrew turned up :). Atb
@@RS.Outdoors haha, aye blame Andrew. 😁
three hikers on top of a mountain. What did you find to talk about lol?
Lots ;) Atb
You still have the Notch right?
Yes I do, for now ;) Atb
Well if you fancy loosing it. I know I buyer. ;)
@@RS.Outdoors I think I picked up via Facebook you had now sold the Notch. Any particular reason? I thought that you had planned to take it on the Cape Wrath Trail?
@@DavidWilliams-tk3dy Yes it is sold now to a guy who had been at me for ages. Sold it as I was getting a custom made tent and was due to be delivered for the CWT. Sadly guy who makes the tents was killed in a mountain accident couple of weeks back. Ended up taking my Access 2 on this trip.
@@RS.Outdoors Oh dear, that's very sad and puts our own ups and downs into perspective.
Ever thought about making your own tent?
Getting one put together to my own specifications at moment to try ;) Atb
@@RS.Outdoors that’s great! Looking forward to the video. I’ve thought about it many times. There doesn’t seem to be a perfect tent for everyone.
Oh no! Severe damage to hiker reputation for crossing the fence. Hiker destroyed. Click to start over... ; )
£500 plus, no wonder
Sorry, your point is?
@@RS.Outdoors its a very expensive tent for one person, i mailed him to ask for a quote. Don't get me wrong, i enjoy your vids, just a shocker to find out how much he would charge for one tent.
@@williamfalcon7351 It is due to the DCF material and even my Notch LI that is also DCF was £545 with import tax. Even the Hilly Soulo is around £800. You need to be going out and using it a lot to justify the price to be honest. But if you look at friends of mine one is into mountain biking and just spent £5k on a bike or another who likes his golf and one club cost about the same as my tent. But like everything there is cheaper alternatives without breaking the bank :) Note that more expensive doesn't mean better and why I am now having my own spec tent made. Atb
@@RS.Outdoors Hobbies are expensive.
@@RS.Outdoors Totally agree Ray. There is great budget kit out there to enjoy this pastime. Or you can spend an absolute fortune if you want to and if you can afford it. I'm into amateur astronomy, the price of some of that equipment can be, dare I say it, astronomical! Or you can enjoy the night sky with just a pair of binoculars or even the naked eye. Each to their own. Take care mate.
