Cracking end to the video showing the reality of mountain camping! Love it.. also love what you did with the footprint - I also like a sheeted porch area - so useful. Thanks for making this film!
That was quite a watch.... Would loved to have known whether the 9 inch. Eastons would have made the difference... Well done you on surviving the experience...
Anyone else out there finding that the Nemo Tensor Extreme is uncomfortable? Plenty warm, just blamed it on a sore back after an all day hike. After a few weeks back home it still felt the same. The horizontal baffles? I have other pads with verticle baffles and don't have a sore back. Are the baffle directions copyrighted?
Love the video mate👍🏻 was considering buying the nallo 2 myself . If the tent is designed and expected to be in severe conditions it shouldn't be up to you to buy additional pegs to make it SAFE!!!
I can advise you to put mat under a silver foil not other way. Even if your mat have a good rating you inflating with a cold air so my advice will give you extra C to comfort.
Great presentation of the tent. If I were willing to carry all those cans of Brew Dog and a whole bottle of wine I wouldn't be concerned much about the weight of my tent or anything else for that matter. Is loads of booze mandatory for Scottish camping adventures?
Hi, I watched your vid a while back but coming back to comment as I'm looking for a first serious wild camping tent. Whats this tent like for sitting up in and what is your overall experience like with it? Ideal for 3-season conditions and would you recommend this? Any other recommendations for a lightweight tent for a new wild camper? Cheers
Nice video! Looks like a relaxing camp in the rain. What tarn was that below you? It almost looked like Angle Tarn but not sure. Cheers from California.
Great video, thank you! I have just bought the same one, wide width, but regular length. However, I am struggling to find a padded mat or even a foil mat to go underneath that is the same width. Do you mind sharing which one you have please? Looks like yours is as wide as the Rapide!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for sharing your experiences. I'm sure everyone who's watched it has learned/re-learned/had reinforced, important lessons. We all need to be reminded that Mother Nature can get really nasty & that we need to take all necessary precautions in an effort to mitigate her nasty moods. Strong Gusty Winds are the most difficult of nasty weather we have to deal with, much more so than rain or cold. Yes, I've "Like", Subscribed, & rang the notification bell. I carry a Soto WindMaster fuel canister type of stove. I always begin with a full 4oz canister, thanks to my G Works fuel transfer tool. I have an old wool sock; I cut the toe box off, cut a small hole in the toe end of the sock so I can pull it over the top of the fuel canister & leave the covered valve accessible when I want to use it. The wool sock prevents condensation from freezing on the metal canister when being used by the stove PLUS a sock covered metal canister is much more comfortable when placed underclothing to keep warm or next to your body when inside your sleeping bag.

Lucky guy, walking down in those conditions could have ended very badly. A tent collapsed still offers shelter especially with a warm sleeping bag, yes it won't be the best of nights but you will be safe until daylight. Agree regarding the Easton pegs or should we call them zombie killers, use nothing else, never let me down. Stay safe, atb Bill
Im not going to be nice like tje rest of the comments, you are a very lucky guy,min 5 and 50 mile winds and you decide to go up a mountain. Your an idiot!?!
He wasn't experiencing 50mph winds when hiking up or when selecting the site to pitch his tent. However, I do agree, that he probably should have selected a more sheltered campsite. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
I sympathise, I had the same tent for over 12yrs, I took it cycle/camping all over Europe and it performed brilliantly. Then last October during storm Babet (I think it was called) I was camped in Pateley Bridge, the winds were so strong the outer was blown against the inner and capillary action took over. I was getting a constant shower all night long! By early morning all my kit was wet through, fortunately I was using a sleeping bag cover or my down sleeping bag would have been a soggy mess. Anyway I threw the tent out and bought a Durston X-Mid 1 person tent. Haven't regretted it.
My solution to your experience is the outer material I selected when I bought my Western Mountaineering Down filled Antelope (5ºF) sleeping bag. I selected the Gore-Windstopper outer fabric that has a 12,000 hydrostatic head rating. I don't want my Down filled sleeping bag to get wet. I could have selected the Micro-Fiber outer fabric that is lighter & more packable, but only has a 2,000 hydrostatic head rating. When that fabric gets wet so will the Down.
I have & use my Hilleberg Enan in the high Sierras, however, Hilleberg tents, like all tents, need to be staked down with big rocks on top of pegs in strong gusty winds. However, broken poles is an entirely different matter. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
@@azclaimjumperI had a pole break on an MSR Hubba Hubba NX a few years ago, that was a night to remember. Hasn’t happened to me with a Hilleberg though. Safe trails brother.
@@dougieranger A tent with a broken pole may fall on the people inside, however I think it should continue to provide more shelter than getting out into the open & unsheltered surroundings as long as the guylines remain reasonably intact & stakes remain staked into ground. I like to think that Hilleberg 3-season tents are stronger than so-called 4-season tents made by other manufacturers. Hilleberg 3-season Enan is the model I chose instead of the 4-Season Akto. When I'm expecting a night of strong gusty winds, I make it a point to keep my boot right next to the top part of my sleeping bag because if I should need to get out of the tent in an emergency, my boots are the very most important piece of equipment I have. I, personally, would be severely limited if I didn't have boots on my feet. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
Saw the views you had and thought Id give it a look.... Nice little film. Shows that bail isnt fail. Sometimes its a win. You did well to make the right choice. Lesson learned too. Ive done two camps since i bought some longer pegs and left them at home so far. Not next time!! Stay safe out there . Subd 👌
Thank you for sharing this experience, it helps to know all eventualities of wild camping especially what can go wrong, so I learnt a lot from your video, as well as seeing some beautiful scenery :)
