Nature Calls is an outdoor channel and we will concentrate on outdoor adventures We will do outdoor equipment reviews, lots of backpacking, Bushcraft, DIY, hiking, hammocks, making gear, survival,as well as general musings. And since we live in a watery area, sailing, boating and anything else involving water will be included.
Backpacking can be a liberating feeling, one that puts your wits to the test as you try to make your way around in the wilderness with as little gear as possible.
You can alway stack sheets to stack the Rvalue. The reflectix big bubble has a R of 6 when using it without a gap or 8.4 if you was floating an in above it.
I have this tent - although I have not had it out in a storm yet - first impressions- super easy to set-up (I did watch a video on YT prior) but really easy when you understand the outer guy line is to be aligned with the opposite end pole concept. It is a very airy tent for warm conditions. It does not heat up like a small four season tent, BUT I believe already that it is more capable than the Hilleberg (HB) recommended operating limits… in colder conditions because it is not a ‘warm tent’ I’d recommend a bivi bag, I use one all the time through habit, even with my ‘bomber’ four season tents, for me a bivi bag is an essential piece of safety kit for the hills, it deploys always, every time! HB design & material selection quality is evident throughout this piece of kit, from top to bottom (too much to detail here) - bottom line ‘cry once buy once’ you will save in the end - nuff said. It is so easy to tear down, alter the use in so many different configurations (see the HB video resources) it has become my most versatile tent option - so versatile it has probably even made my Rab Sil Tarp 2 redundant! My observations in respect of ultralight: HB weigh the whole package, most other (all?) other manufacturers don’t count pegs, guys etc, etc… by the time you apply the same criteria, the end weight is comparable (boldly subjective - granted) and the quality design and safety aspect thrown into the equation imho really does make the HB a compelling consideration. This kit is built for life, not just one thru-hike event.
If you're bending your Ti angle stakes, i suspect you're putting them in backwards. When it's in the ground, looking at the stake from the tent's point of view, the convex side should be towards you.
There is no rating. Personally I don't take it out when it is going to rain a lot. If it was something I would take out in the rain I would treat it with something. Not an expert in canvas style tents.
Thank you! After going a few years without camping it’s easy to forget which side the stake goes in. This was just what we needed to get us back on track!
Consider stop making videos for you tube. Turned off after 2 minutes. You have no stage presence and clearly haven't researched your chosen topic at all. Sorry the truth hurts sometimes 😫😫😫
