I took my Hilleberg Soulo into the mountains to give it a wind and rain test and the weather gods obliged - with 60km/h winds and hours of heavy rain. The tent didn’t budge and I had an unexpected sunset complete with a double rainbow 😍🌈 and woke in the morning to find the mountains opposite all snow covered and beautiful
🥶 -6°C Stealth camp coming next!

I miss camping alot and i watch quiet a few camping videos on RU-vid but yours absolutely capture the whole feeling of camping unlike others do. Thank you again for your videos and bringing back the sounds and smells of camping 🙏🙏

Hi Clare, i have followed you for ages but i think this is my first conversation comment. Currently i am lying in bed (5am) at home in The lake district, bored but going shopping later in Keswick. I was up Castle Rigg stone circle at winter solstice meeting up with like minded people but not camping. I am beginning to feel i absolutely must camp soon this 2024 or go stir crazy!! Until then i will scroll through your videos to cheer me up!!! Thanks for being just your lovely cheerful, inspiring self. 🎉 michael. ❤ @@WildBeare

@BM-ms3gr Год назад

Thanks again for a wonderful video, I don't know how you get it done even under these conditions, it is truly amazing! We need a new 3-person tent and after seeing your video(s) we are going for the 3-person Hilleberg, a lot of money, sure. Expensive, not at all as you get what you pay for. The last trip we were on (Mt. Rinjani as we live in Indonesia) a couple of months ago 90% of the tents on the crater rim were destroyed by the gale force wind combined with horizontal rain and that all happened during the night!

@chrishamilton2527 Год назад

Another bit of camping / filming perfection. When it’s especially cold I take my Decathalon headlamp (in preference to my Fenix 65R) supplemented with an UCO enclosed 9hour candle lamp which raises the temp inside the tent by a few degrees. I hike camp with a short haired large rescue dog so I have to use a two man tent (plus I’m also pretty large (6’5”/18stone). My winter tent is a Crux whilst my three season is a Triplex.

As much as I love your ability to tough it out, this tent is incredibly basic. 30D ripstop goes back many eons to when I was a kid. I am 60 and it seems like tent makers are ripping the pish.... think I'll make a vid of my (in excess of) 50 years old lightweigh CANVAS tent

I was thinking about getting a bivy for inside a tent, have you had any problems with condensation inside the bivy and dou you feel like it adds much warmth. I'm a cold sleeper and I have a month zodiac 700 down

@kenmurray8476 Год назад

As a former Forest Service wilderness ranger in the US, I am enthralled by your adventures. This particular tent means little, compared to your willingness to go out in such conditions------and have a GREAT time! I love how you continually stretch yourself, and are willing to try different things. It's clear that you are learning very quickly, and how to back yourself up in case of problems.

@richardmacyczko1580 Год назад

First, great video and honest comments regarding the tent. Second, I have a female friend who has been told by her "macho," co-workers that she needs a man to handle camping. I told her to check out your videos and you have empowered her to go out there and do it. She feels more independent, confident, and when she shows her friends at work her iPhone videos they are all so proud of her and the "boys" shut up! Respect from your many friends in Florida USA 🌴

Lady, you are a bad weather WARRIOR! It never ceases to amaze me how you can keep in such good spirits whatever is going on around you. You're brilliant for that!

Great episode Claire. That’s an amazing tent. A good idea to secure it to your rucksack as you put it up. Interesting to see it gradually get more rigid as you worked to pitch it. Finally that moment when it’s all done and you get inside out of the weather eh? A really strong tent, a great review. Some amazing scenery as well, loved it👍❤️

@WildBeare Год назад

Thanks Monty yehh I'm loving it so far, feel nice & safe in it :) I love the scenery there, amazing views of Snowdon there too but he was hiding in the clouds for this one. Have a lovely weekend 🙂🌿🐻

Being a Hilleberg tent I was not surprised by the quality and robustness of this tent.. They are expensive but as the old saying goes "you get what you paid for".🌲🔥🌳🌲🔥🌳

@my_handle.... Год назад

A tip for your foot powder. If you get ziploc or dry bag big enough to fit your foot in and put your foot powder in the bottom of it before you leave home. When out and about simply put your foot in the bag, less mess and less powder wasted. Great channel! Thank you. Oh nearly forgot, nice tent....

@davidclyde4922 Год назад

I also have a Soulo. Great tent. Had mine 5 years, and its still like new,after spending 101 nights in it. I made an extra heavy duty footprint fom Terram geotextile material,to protect the expesive Hilleberg footprint. I also use the longer Y pegs. Been all over Scotland,and the Westen Isles in it. And snug as a bug in my Norwegian -10 special forces Nanook bag.

@summittaedae2323 11 месяцев назад

Hi Claire. It’s a bomb shelter of a tent. In wet n windy conditions just in lip the inner and push it back to make the vestibule bigger for cooking indoors. Another tip is for the hilleberg wind-chimes “ noisey zips 😂” put some electrical shrink wrap on them and use a hairdryer to cover the zips. I did that to my old Akto and it was great. Still to do it to my soulo tho. Condensation is better if you don’t keep stuff in the vestibule. It blocks the air flow

@IntenseAngler Год назад

Great to see you out enjoying yet another amazing adventure Claire! That double rainbow was just absolutely stunning too! It was really nice to get the "grand tour" of your new tent as well. I hope that it serves you well on many a foul weather adventure to come 👍 I would most certainly have to say that it was definitely a great investment (no more worries about your primary shelter breaking down on you). Now I'm going to have to get one just for that 10 hours of sleep, haha 😉 I hope that you have a wonderful weekend my friend! :) Stay wild.... -John

Hello John! It was so pretty wasn't it 😍 unexpected lil treat that.

@cranefly23 Год назад

When you clipped the tent to your pack, I had visions of the pack ‘parachuting’ down the mountain! I was amazed at how easily you were able to pitch it. At least, your video made it LOOK easy, but I think part of that is down to your knowledge and experience. Excellent video with some dramatic weather and beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing it.

Its a Hilleberg, probably the best tent in the world.

@buffplums Год назад

I love hearing the hail on the tent you can’t beat being nice and snug feeling nice and tired with a hot meal down my neck and all warm and dry in my sleeping bag … it’s a great feeling xx

@arcticradio Год назад

I’ve struggled with Hilleberg tents, I can’t justify using such an expensive tent. I just bought two OEX tents to go with all the Vango tents I have and even Vango have coped with everything I could throw at them already. The F10 Nitro 200 has survived extreme winds in Glenbrittle many years ago and I’ve used my tents here in -20.c and everything has done it’s job. I can’t think of a scenario that I need a Hilleberg (or the expensive of one!) maybe up mountains? Anyway I couldn’t afford one so I will never know 😊

@HerrFinsternis Год назад

I guess it's also a question of how long any one tent can endure these extreme conditions. At some point every tent (or parts of it) will give out and meet their maker. Hillbergs do stand out in this regard, they are build to stay with you for a long time.

@arcticradio Год назад

@@HerrFinsternis My F10 Vango Nitro is now 14 years old…..It will outlive me at this point 🤣

@HerrFinsternis Год назад

@@arcticradio it's a great tent. I've never had a tunnel tent and when I look into them the Vango tents look delicious. Somewhat hard to get (outside the UK) but when I just looked I saw the nitro 200 in several online shops. Very attractive package 😊

@j.b.5230 Год назад

@mateuszk3210 Год назад

@GypsyGirl317 Год назад

I came straight here from the tarp on the rocks and this was so satisfying to watch! 😅🌿🐻❤️🙆🏻‍♀️

@medicinegone Год назад

I bought a Soulo in December, 2wks after double knee replacement surgery, as a sort of light at the end of the tunnel. I finally got to use it 2mos ago here in the mountains of northern Colorado. I've only used it twice so far but I love it. I'm 6ft 4in tall and while it's a little tight it's still comfortable and I fit just fine. When conditions look like they'll be too much for my SlingFin, I'll be happy to have my Soulo.

@tomwalters2385 Год назад

Another brilliant video, Claire. That tent seems awesome and I think I’m going to have to give it a serious look. I’m needing something for cold weather outings. Stay well! ✌🏽

Thanks Tom! Yeh it seems good so far, extremely well made and solid 👌 you too, have a nice weekend 🙂🌿🐻

@andyr4611 Год назад

Interesting to see how the Soulo performs in wet windy weather . I got one just for snow camping in Norway/Sweden because like you I wanted something I could have confidence in, maybe lighter options would work too but coming from UK no oportunity to test out gear in deep cold. I pull it in the smallest Fjellpulken 'weekender' which slides (almost) into one half of the porch. A free standing tent is for me pretty much essential in powder snow as I use snow shoes so no skiis to anchor the tent. The fly coming down low helps keep out spin drift but even so when it's windy I had to pile snow around the windward side to keep the fine powder from snowing inside . Not as much cooking space as the Akto/Enan though so I think in UK conditions I prefer the Akto.

@danielsneed3235 5 месяцев назад

@brynjones-mm8su Год назад

Why are people watching someone going camping, showing off equipment not many can afford and most of the time dont need and then sell merchandise (a mug for £14, im no Mug) and get affiliated sales from showing such equipment all shot and edited for such purposes? Flash a bit of skin an the thumbnails to get suckers to click and then try to portray you are in the wild surviving. Give me a break, camping in Snowdonia is not the wilds, especially when you have all the gear including drones and film equipment. dont make me laugh.

Hi Claire, I have just got one of these tents as I want to feel protected when I travel to Snowdonia, I just wondered how you pack the tent away in the morning? Do you detach the inner to dry the inside of the fly? I'm wonderinng if the condensation will get the inner wet when packed away. Great channel, very informative 👍

Tis Irish Bob saying hello Claire. Another adventure tallied in the books Lass. Good review on the tent and kit for this little outting. Very sharp minded in tying down your tent in the wind while setting up your site. The winds were real HOWLERS. Kind of like the wolves of Algonquin Park.

@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling Год назад

You certainly have a big pair of Rocky Mountain Oysters Claire. I'll give you that. The tent isn't the cheapest but from what I can see, if you buy it, you won't need to buy another. One question. I hike a lot, channel plug, go on, subscribe, set notifications to none, but support the little guy.🙄 (remember when you started out? 😪🙄)The question is, if I'm just thinking about going out at night, then what single person tent would you recommend? Like I say, hike regularly, but do not stay out at all, so I'm after picking your brain from your extensive experience and knowledge. Preferably treking pole assisted. But not necessarily. You are certainly tenacious and an inspiration to us all. PS, the lighter the weight the better, riddled with arthritis and knee replacement but tenacious. You get my drift. Appreciate any advice, Claire. Thanks again for all you do to promote the outdoors to the up and coming generation. I have signed the petition. But this wasn't pushed in the vlog. I think it would be great if you did so, but...... does bringing attention to it, bring unwanted attention to it? I fully support the right to wild camp as long as people leave no trace. The thought of buying a tent and having to sleep in a field with a load of idiots blasting their music when you want yo be at one with nature doesn't fill me with enthusiasm. Random thought. Am I better off buying a bivi tent for starters? Sorry for the diatribe, but I do value your opinion. Thank you Claire.

@watercooled81 Год назад

A couple of good mods I did on mine: Electric tape to the zips to stop the jingling zips in the wind. Add some linelocs and short line to the tent peg out points. Makes it so much easier on the rough gorund, to get the pegs in and the tent tent. Also 10mm poles are great addition. The other great thing about the soulo is you can guy it out as you pitch, Poles in then guy the lower lines. Then as you work round and clipping and get to the next guylines, get them pegged out. Then finish up connecting the top clips and hood. Then tidy the guylines. In really windy conditions its a godsend as well as doing it in reverse when packing away. Love your content!

I love this, it reminds me of a time when me and my Dad went wild camping at Angle Tarn in the Lakes, and we had a cheap double hoop tent. In high winds the tent kept collapsing and the tent was like 12 inches from our faces as we slept ... After each huge gust, it snapped back upright. So how we got any sleep i don't know. That was 1988, and a lifetime ago. But your video brought it back for me. Thank you. If only we'd had a Suolo then. But I doubt we'd have afforded it even then. Keep up these fabulous videos 📹 👏 ♥️

Ahh that sounds like good Type 2 fun :D What a lovely memory with your Dad :) Thank you so much, hope you're having a nice weekend 🌿Claire 🐻

@stevensad38 Год назад

Well done you! Another excellent video, how you film in that weather beats the band. Hillberg is one of the top tents in the world, weight for performance it is hard to find a better option if you can afford one.

@steve20664 Год назад

Well done, I love being outdoors and don't even get 10 hours in my bed, and that 🌈 moment would have made the trip for me.......but.....I don't get trying to sleep in a plastic bag in the pouring rain and howling wind. I'll keep watching and maybe I'll understand in time. Stay cool 😎

Hi, thank you so much! Best wishes from UK :D 🌿🐻

@HerrFinsternis Год назад

The Hilleberg fortress of Solitude 😊 just an excellent tent (especially as an answer to the British condition) when you can agree with the weight and cost. I have a Jannu myself and like this un it can build up condensation, but you can menage that a bit more by using some rocks or logs to lift the rim of the flysheet a bit.

Great review from the sharp end...thank you. I've been using an Akto for years....really stretched the 4 season rating and it's never let me down. Not as easy to pitch as your featured tent nor quite so bomb proof but lighter and very confidence inspiring as you said. Really like your videos....keep on keeping on please!

@WildBeare Год назад

That's good to know :) thank you so much, hope you're having a lovely weekend, Claire 🐻

Brilliant filming here in these very difficult conditions. Excellent! The tent should be good, it's very expensive, the Rolls Royce of tents, or should that be the Tesla of tents!

@michaelw2288 Год назад

Hilleberg can be trusted as long as you do your part in pitching well. I have pitched my Akto in worse conditions , really frightening high wind. The campsite owner insisted that I sleep in a hut but the Akto stayed pitched all night. In high wind and rain, I got some water ingress through the end vents. I found that the Akto needs high wind to stay well ventilated. Check your guy lines at night, the sign of an experienced foul weather camper.

Hello. Well, you have a good camping tent. In my case it is a Hilleberg Allak 3, for 3 people. Of course they are expensive camping tent but they are extremely good. I usually take it in medium and high mountains. I have not tried it with heavy rain but with heavy snowfall and strong winds and for the moment it continues as the first day. Condensation is a problem with all camping tents and this one is no exception. Anyway, congratulations on your purchase and enjoy it a lot. Greetings and great videos

I love all your videos you upload on here. Honest, real, adventurous and inspirational! You have definitely inspired me for when my children get to a certain age I definitely want to start exploring nature and testing myself in situations. I have 5 Children still very young so now isn't the right time but I can't wait to start, maybe even with them if they wanted to. Very inspiring, thank you for sharing this with us. Definitely taught me that life isn't about luxurious things, getting out there an seeing places like where you've been is what it's all about 😊

Do you check the "weather forecast" before your trekking like normal people ? Or, are you looking for the bad weather ? Jesssssus🤦

@ryan7900 Год назад

This reminds me of a backpacking trip I was on many years ago when a big thunderstorm popped up in the middle of the night.

@martinforrester8249 Год назад

Sorry Claire, I've mentioned before when you were in the Arrans in Snowdonia, it may be a good all weather tent but for the ordinary punter it's excessively expensive ! You would have to have very deep pockets to afford. With the footprint, it's almost £1000 !

@mikeoglen6848 Год назад

Yes, but you get what you pay for...you could always use a light Tarp...

@martinforrester8249 Год назад

@Mike o' Glen not necessarily. I've got a Vango Tunnel tent 25 years old. Been camping in it in Grand Canyon twice. Heavy but sharing the load doable. Also a North Face bivvy tent, cost me under £100 ten years ago, that's also used extensively in the Southwest USA. Still going strong. Some folks love splashing the cash because they can.... no need.

@gberish602 Год назад

Absolutely love that GoPro shot at 04:07 out of the tent of that sun and golden sky.😊 Great to have such a tent in your armoury that you can use when conditions are bad⛺. I think I’d be tempted to carry it in my car for at least 2 ½ seasons of the year just in case. Appreciate the weight difference though. Already looking forward to next week’s one (you mentioned to me on Facebook) enjoy your birthday!!!!🎂

@radio-su6lh Год назад

Its strange even though on the face of it, this may seem quite a straight forward video to watch; I really really enjoyed it! It just had everything, so it goes into the list of my fav videos from your channel. Many thanks Claire xx

@johnashcroft-jones6091 Год назад

Great video Clare, thanks for your observations on the tent. It was wise to have a backup bivvi bag when testing a new tent in a Beaufort force 7 'Near Gale' (if you had 60 mph wind). Great show, you are brave, Thanks.

@mrnobodieswildcampingadventure 2 месяца назад

Hilleberg Soulo is a great tent it will protect you, however way too flappy for me in high winds. Much better and at half the price with more room is the USA Kuiu Storm Star. So taut when set up, it just does very little to no flapping even in high winds. Great adventure, keep em coming!

@jeweet889856943 Год назад

Really enjoy your content! Question, what is the white powder you put on your feet, and what is its function?

@The-Yorkshire-Man Год назад

Great review Claire, always honest and well balanced. I'm looking for a good strong all season tent. Maybe a Hilleberg or Terranova but still doing my research. The Soulo is on my possible list but looks a bit too small for me. Watch out for those Bots! Clive :)

@GAPTEXPLORE Год назад

*_Wooow got a bonus Hilleberg tent..., storm proof test ok, I trust and believe the recommended Hilleberg product tent, what is certain is that the fabric and frame of the tent must be very good, may I know how much it costs...?, Always success, beautiful_*

I've just watched a couple of your videos now and realized you must not be in North America. As camping here like you have in the videos would be extremely dangerous with wild animals about. Would love to camp like this but not interested in being a big cat or bear's human burrito.
