Hi Dave, great choice of tents for this review. If I was picking 4 to do a review on it would be exactly the same. You have put a big amount of time and effort into this and the video is a great reference for anyone considering a single hoop tent. Very well explained and thought out comparison. Great to see interior volume demonstrated by the space that you had in the tent... really well done a big and super effort... ATB Tom

Great work Dave hope everyone recognises your detailed videos and level of informativeness in things that really matter. Subscribe!!

A great, thorough review, thank you.
Also really appreciated how you kept the physical order of the tents consistent throughout, even when doing the tabletop part - a lovely touch!

Nice work. Enjoyed it. Having the Enan in this mix would have been interesting.

Fantastic review. The "drink test" was a great idea. I have been trying to decide between the Abisko 1 or the Scarp 1 for a while. Thank you

@markgraham2503 4 years ago

Excellent comparison video. Have been researching a new tent and had been leaning toward the Scarp. You are helping me make a decision. Really like your functional "drink test," makes sense. Also since I'm in Idaho should be easier to get ordered and shipped versus some of the European tents I've been looking at. Happy trails to you and all your followers.

@richardclegg5853 3 years ago

Yup, all great tents, but sticking with my Akto... great comparison

@Jim_Manthorpe-outdoors 1 year ago

Such a detailed review. I'm torn between the scarp1 and the abisko. Sounds like the scarp1 comes out on top on most points. Appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

Hi.
Old review now, I know. But only last weekend, I was out up on the highest point of the Mendip Hills, in Storm Gerrit in my Starlight 1, and it never budged an inch.
The winds, we recorded, we’re over 50 mph gusts.
My mate was in his Hillaberg souls, which he had to retighten a couple of times, even using Delta pegs. Admittedly, I used beefed up pegs with my starlight, as the ones supplied can cut your fingers, taking out of hard ground.
Imho, the Starlight is up there with the more expensive tents.
All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧💨
