Mate Vango do make good tents it's not the best as the price is cheap ie the tent pegs and obviously the fibre glass poles other then that it does the job think personally you're going over the top with a criticism a little bit but that's just my opinion !!!!
Dont you guys face any issues with the floor material of then tent? Mine got quite sticky after a while and has prooven to let moisture through, on whatever is placed on the floor. I sold it for that reason again.
It’s a shame really but unfortunately there are a lot of people that take the piss and leave rubbish everywhere, I normally try and keep remote or on the top of a hill these days 🤣 hope you managed to get a camp in regardless, another tip don’t set up until near sunset, you can make a big target on yourself getting set up early
I would say that from experience with tents that don’t have it, it (kind of) is, a footprint is good for preventing anything from puncturing the bottom of the tent as they are thicker than the inner tent floor and also provides some peace of mind when it comes to my air mat not getting a puncture either
I’m new to wild camping even to camping in general having never pitched a tent on my own before. I had one practice run with this in very windy conditions it was simple to pitch. I’ve only wild camped twice so far can easily have the tent pitched in under ten minutes. It would only be a two man tent if sharing with my wife. I share mine with my large dog there’s plenty of room for rucksack my coat and bits and pieces. Other bits like boots I keep in the vestibules. The wild camps I’ve been on I only sleep in it it is very comfy I have to admit I wouldn’t want to spend a whole day awake in it. As for quality mine seems very well made with very smooth YKK zips. Headroom is ok just but I guess it’s a compromise as it is low and stealthy. I was considering various hooped bivouac bags but I needed the extra room for my dog he absolutely loves the tent tries to hog my Camfy P3 air mattress before I get in lol. Overall I really love this tent and for the money really think it is excellent it’s always going to be a compromise of some sort. I do agree with you about the inner door it keeps flapping down, call me stupid but I can’t seem to secure it back properly. I might just stick a couple of bits of Velcro on it. Interesting video I love to see other’s opinions of this tent cheers
I suppose everyone has different preferences and I know plenty of people who love theirs like yourself and it’s great that (hopefully) you’re enjoying Wildcamping, but these styles of tents don’t suit my needs (as someone who’s a bit on the larger side) I kind of knew that coming into this review so maybe there is a negative bias towards it but that’s thing with reviews, they can all be biased, I try not to be but I’m not perfect (just like the video 🤣) I hope you carry on enjoying the outdoors in whatever tent you like because at the end of the day the important part is getting out there and enjoying the outdoors, thanks for watching 👌
@@LeoManAndMountain you could add a couple webbing loops and seam seal them on the inside. Might help. I'm as cheap as they come, so a little DIY goes a long way.
you keep saying "it's taped and seamed" All tents have seams. a seam is where the pieces of cloth are sewn together. Taped means the seam is covered with seam tape.
Condensation tip . Open the door . . You will be warmer without the pint of water you breath out . I started opening up tent even in the minuses , have not looked back since . But all doors are different. On my door there are three zips . Allows me to open up the top . The real test with a vango is the rain . . They are pretty good with rain in my experience. A 35 quid tent is for a festival or a homeless person . . Itll be made to last just for a few years . Sounds like its too short for you . I have a hoolie 2 tent , can highly recommend it . Its my only tent . You need to find a one only tent for yourself . Thats what i got from this . Thanks for your info Hoolie 2 is 2.6 kilos . With everything attached .
I’ll be trying all sorts of tents in the future, it is definitely water proof that’s for sure just the way the door opens would mean rain would easily get it the inner, and it isn’t to short to be fair it’s just my mat is too big 😅
Great vid. Love this tent. Got it for Christmas. 3 wild camps in it so far. Attached the footprint with mini karabiners. All fits in the supplied bag. Normally only peg the 4 corners. Peg the guylines in blowy weather and wrap the lines round the poles a few times. The dynema pegging points are great for adjustment. Permanent mini karabiner on the lamp loop to fit my flex tail pump/light. Blue pole first. Been advised to put some gaffer tape on the sleeving where the poles cross, to stop any wearing.
You’ll have plenty of great Camps in that tent, I haven’t had any problems on my tent when it comes to the sleeving, I think that problem comes from the poles not being completely connected and possibly rips the material, enjoy your future wild camps and hopefully you have no problems 👌
you should come in greece and go for pindus trail you cant imagine what you will see mate .the diversity is huge ! . check it out ! too flat there :P but beautiful greetings from athens
@@LeoManAndMountain thanks for the info about the tent man !! olympus is in my plans but the pindus mountains are more beautiful landscapes, greece is known for the beaches and the islands but 80% of greece terrain is mountains !!!!! if you want check some videos to take ideas . wish good trekking and have fun
It was even easier where I did it from at the little car park at the base of Skiddaw and I really should do it again from Keswick. Nice to see a bit of blue shy and the sun both sure have been a big miss so for this year. For a small fell the 360 views are amazing, nice one to do with the family too, cheers Alan
Well Mr Daddy of the year congratulations on that and welcome to your new beginning you're going to love it Leo it certainly looks snugg the tent it will be even more snugg when the sprogglett comes with you dancing around inside the tent tripping over the ropes knocking the food everywhere not to forget the old poohnami Anyway I loved the way you made sleeping in 0 temps and strong winds look and sound wonderful loved the film see you soon
