    Probably one of the 10 best outing videos on the tube. Both photography, sound track, commentary, editing, and idea. Great job!

    VERY cool adventure! Ordered a Brommy for the summer, but I don't think I'll be carrying any boats...heh. Thanks for the share!

    Inspirational and beautiful footage. Thank you from a middle class city boy with a Brompton (who likes to get out of the city when he can!)

    What an amazing video and superbly edited and narrated. This is exactly what I want to be doing, I've been researching folding bikes and inflatable rafts and decided on the brompton and the alpackaraft as the ultimate adventure combo to suit my needs and here you lads are, you've already beaten me to the punch ^_^
    I enjoyed your video immensely and I'm gonna be sharing it with all my friends, thank you.

    Good job, guys. Quite a while ago now but I bet you remember that one. I was just sitting here on my couch wondering if anybody ever thought about putting a pack raft on a brompton… or a brompton on a pack raft… and you took that idea to the extreme. I salute you!

    Well done guys. Champion video, narrated like naturals. I really like some of your unusual shots and angles, bringing the Shetlands to life. I'm really surprised it rained up there ;) Bromptons and Alpackas seem strange bedfellows, but clearly they worked well as a team.

    Fantastic Adventure. I took that route with a photography group this past summer and it was absolutely the best trip ever. It's scary watching you brave those waters though.
    Making it to Muckle Flugga is a great experience.
    Thanks for sharing.

    @XXsardarXX 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks like a great adventure!. Just wondering, but did you suffer from many punctures or broken spokes on this little escapade?? From my experience, the Brompton bike is very prone to these problems when loaded-up with touring gear...and getting the back wheel off to make repairs is a real hassle.

    haha. You're right. It's one of my favorite jokes though. How do you know if you are in a middle class or working class area? In a working class area men are wrestling with each other in the street, in a middle class area men are wrestling their folding bicycles.
    Maybe I don't tell it well. It was one of my father's best told jokes.

    Great video and adventure!
    Am I correct in identifying the packrafts as Alpacka Scouts?
    If so, is the spray skirt you guys were using just a trash bag and some tape? I couldn't quite tell for sure but really hoping this is what you improvised! I have thought I trying that on my own, so curious
