*****AFTER THE INITIAL RESPONSE FROM TONY SAYING HE HAD ABSOLUTELY SET UP HIS TENT CORRECTLY. I TOOK IT EVERYTHING WAS IN ORDER AS TONY HAS BEEN A WILD CAMPER FOR QUITE SOME YEARS NOW AND WHO AS OWNED THE SCRAP 1 FOR SOME TIME.
THIS WAS NOT THE CASE.
TONY EXPLAINS IN HIS VIDEO THAT VIEWERS WHO HAVE WATCHED MY VIDEO HAVE POINTED OUT NUMEROUS ERRORS MADE BY HIM WHILE SETTING UP HIS SCRAP 1.
TONY HAS ADDRESSED THESE ERRORS IN HIS VIDEO. LINK POSTED BELOW.*****

Budget OEX Tent OUT PERFORMS Hilleberg Soulo Black label & Scarp 1 DESTROYED In Winter Storm
Yes, you READ that right, both tents of the highest order, the pinnacle of 4 season camping. Both were rendered unusable. (well the Hilleburg was ok really!!)
The plan was to experience our first extreme winter camp but the day had us beat before we even had the chance to unpack!
We set off early up the long and winding path that would take us to Scales Tarn high up on Blencathra. With minimal wind and the occasional hail shower, the weather was good!
As we ventured closer and closer to Sharp Edge the wind was starting to blow.
After negotiating the waterfall leading up to the Tarn we made our way around it to find our pitch for the night.
There isn't much flat ground on Scales Tarn so we were pushed into the top left corner. Setting up was proving difficult due to major gusts coming both from the end of the Tarn and also over Shape Edge.
After we had pitched it was time to just relax and take in our surroundings, bad mistake!
As I lie down to stretch my back an almighty gust of wind came down the Tarn. You could hear it like a Banshee screaming! it hit our tents with so much force that the Bobcat's roof came down and almost touched my nose.
As it sprung back into position I heard Chris yelling "It's over lads... Tony your Scarp is shredded"
Now, the plan was for me to jump into Tony's tent if my Bobcat failed, a place I could spend the rest of the night but now that boat had sailed. It was time to pack up!
It certainly goes to show that it's not always the best option to purchase the most expensive gear when there are tents like the OEX Bobcat out there. There are plenty of options on the market for people who want to still experience winter camping at its best with a tight budget as I have.
I hope you enjoy this video and please consider liking and subscribing to my channel. You would help me by sharing this video to like-minded people who are into our great outdoors.
Thank you,
Ant.
