In today’s video, I had out into the Peak District with my RU-vid friend, Stephen J. Reid. Our plan is to camp in an abandoned quarry where I test out what I think is a bizarre tent. I just don’t get it. Things don’t go quite to plan, as I have a major gear failure, but overall it’s another great little camping adventure.

As I mentioned before , you need to design a messner tent, I’m sure the top manufacturers would welcome your input 👍

@thevanthatrocked 7 месяцев назад

Thought Paul had already done that, ie. took the best tent he's used, talk about the niggles (practical) then let the manufacturers make the changes. They could boost their sales by using Messner in their advertising ( sounds like a jet aircraft) and of course paying Paul a royalty. 😊

What a collaboration. The one and only Stephen J Reid. Loved every minute of this. Can’t wait for his version of this trip.

@charlesperry1051 8 месяцев назад

There is a way to tie out a tarp with torn eyelets, or if you don't trust the eyelets. You put a smooth stone about 3 inches from the edge. Push it up from the bottom and gather the tarp below it. Tie your cord to the tarp below the stone. Basically wrap the cord around beneath the stone. It is very strong. Much stronger than the eyelets in most cases.

I don't know, only tother day on your vid when you were having a chat, you were saying you don't like overly edited vids anymore yet here you are with an intro looking like an Hollywood blockbuster, lol. Great fiming and editing by Stephen. Talking of which twas great to see you with the legend that is Stephen J Reid. Ay a good'un me owd 👍🙂

Great Video Paul. The tent is like my old "Saunders Space Packer" that I bought over 30 year's ago for a Karrimor Mountain Marathon race. I still have it, and used the outer shell without the inner when I walked Hadrian's walk route a few years ago now. It was a simple set up without the need for trekking poles either side. It's interesting to see how they have took the design, and added a few mods.

@lionheart-xt7xm 8 месяцев назад

Epic intro🫢❤️

@ruairidhalexander7631 8 месяцев назад

Could always just get a couple of ultralight carbon poles to use in place of the trekking poles. No different from the many tents with a hoop pole and rigid end poles, they're just giving you the option to use the trekking poles you're already carrying instead, and save some weight. Does look too flappy though.

@happycreativemind 8 месяцев назад

Hi Paul. Well done on this excellent collab. Stephen's videos are next level editing. BTW you need to invert the canister on the SOTO as it causes premature wear of the generator otherwise.

@Porrohman19 8 месяцев назад

Oh dear! Nice Dad joke 😂 Edit to add - agree about the tent, quite bizarre, probably best suited for the camping park rather than a hill-top. Neat idea for the cut-away floor in the vestibule though.

@wildphil64 8 месяцев назад

I’ve never seen this tent before. Very strange design. The shelter was a massive disappointment. Imagine relying on it. Great vid with great food. 👍

@StevenKeery 8 месяцев назад

Good collaboration, there seemed to be great rapport between the two of you. I think Stephen's tent with the crossover poles is the better design. The cutaway in the vestibule is probably to make it a little safer for cooking and possibly to save going out in a storm, if one needed to use the loo urgently. I've seen military tents with a similar flap in the floor.

@heidih2887 8 месяцев назад

Stunning scenery! That tent.. ummm, it seems to have an "identity crisis" and doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up! 😁🤣 The tarp ripping out was surprising. Glad it wasn't your only source of shelter! Will be interesting to see what the company says about it! Cheers from the USA

My last camp on RU-vid was in that spot, great location and the skull was from a recent dead sheep I covered over with foliage at the time as much as possible to not distress people walking past.

@JezGates 8 месяцев назад

Definitely worth waiting to watch it on the big screen Paul 👍🏻. Missed the full name of that tent, but presumably it’s called the 3FUL WTF tent? Seems like one of those things that’s been designed to be different just for the sake of being different.

@steveb1972 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the offer of the tent Paul. It’s a NO for me thanks! A bizarre beast!

@daveandemmaoutdoors3171 8 месяцев назад

That tent would be way to flappy for me. . I like the smaller sc1 I have as I like cosy wee space as opposed to the big space. Great video and stuck a night with Stephen as well 😎😂 . Only messing , he’s a top guy. I asked him to ask you when are you getting the orange beanies in again as my Emma wants one lol . Next question … when you getting over to NI and the mournes . See what we have to offer ❤

@Phil.Oakley 8 месяцев назад

Have to agree with you on the 3ful tent. Bit fiddly. All 3ful I have only go up well if the footprint is laid 1st but still sometimes have to repeg. I just got back from a mini break in Ironbridge near Telford and they have a Victorian village that sells fish and chips made using beef dripping and they were lovely! Definitely helps being solid too so easier to store

@Clarabel70 8 месяцев назад

I'll give the tent a try! I'm looking for roomy lightweight....might need to work on getting a tight pitch!

@ThePreparedNorseman 7 месяцев назад

Really like the looks of that tent, might get one when the 4 season inner os avaible. Always use poles anyway so don’t really mind the configuration. A bit like the Tarptent rainshadow that also uses a combo.

@TacBlades 8 месяцев назад

@Randomisrory 8 месяцев назад

I use a vango Caingorn 2 man.similar to a Nevis but a much better tent liner and zips etc. I had 57 mm of rain in 14 hrs a few weeks back and she was still dry inside. Yes I don’t really get the trekking poles with your tent either. Great video as always keep it up.👍

@richardburton5485 8 месяцев назад

It has some good features, size,price,shaped well with the ground sheet making it good for cooking,two doors and very light but there’s a lot of room to improve it such as more guy lines, double way zip for helping ventilation and the idea of trekking poles is good but would be worth having extendable poles as part of the tent that would help with tension. To the right person it would be a good tent

@spindelyshankz671 8 месяцев назад

I switched to barefoot shoes about 4 years ago after a horrific struggle with plantar fascitis. All my shoes are now barefoot and I'll never go back. Took a long time to filly adjust. My plantar foot still doesnt have as much movement as the other one. I prefer Be Lenka now as my feet are too wide for vivo!

@peterking3563 8 месяцев назад

Hi Paul, watch all, well almost all of your videos and thoroughly enjoy them. On this occasion I felt that you sounded a little down. Maybe it was the 'not so good tent' or the ripped tarp. Keep smiling your work is excellent.

@Nickydo111 8 месяцев назад

Stunning intro, next level stuff!

@JustinMcNeil 8 месяцев назад

I can totally see how the tent design came around... Starting with the Lanshan, a lot of people used sticks to prop up the guy lines giving extra room inside. I think the designers thought that if we incorporate the trekking poles like that and have a single hoop keeping the middle up, people would have a lanshan but a lot more room. Having ground cover in a part of the vestibule /porch is becoming quite popular these days so I can see why they would add those. The tent isn't for me, but I can see the benefits

@PaulMessner 8 месяцев назад

I suggested that they just got the poles the wrong way round. Keeping the trekkkng poles at the side like the lanshan makes it much more robust and then adding a smaller aluminium pole at either end. Less weight overall and a less flappy tent.

@Funkteon 8 месяцев назад

The warning I give to anyone thinking of buying a tent designed and manufactured in China (i.e. 3F-UL and Lanshan etc.) is that they are lazily designed with almost perfectly flat camping grounds in mind. As soon as you introduce a slope or lumpiness to the campground, almost nothing sits right with the tent walls or tie-off points...

@worstuserever 8 месяцев назад

Appreciate you testing alternative tent designs, and even though this one looks like a fail I want to encourage manufacturers to keep innovating and consulting with the enthusiasts we follow. Resilience in wind is a must for UK wild camping; would a couple more guying points help to brace that big ridge?

@Funkteon 8 месяцев назад

@garrywhelan9211 8 месяцев назад

The tent held up fine. It flexed in the wind which isn't unusual with flexible poles. He just can't get over the pole options, but it works fine.

@freeforester1717 8 месяцев назад

Make sure the veg and ‘shrooms are done, transfer on to plate, whilst you burn up the pan to searing hot for the venison - an inch thick or less should be done only a couple minutes on either side, without moving in the pan when cooking. Rest for a couple minutes, and don’t forget to take a little horseradish sauce or redcurrant or rowan jelly with your steak. It looked like you had too much liquid in your pan this time, but spot on with choice of fat (lard) 👍🏻

@stephanchapman5411 8 месяцев назад

Design, form follows function, the premise is already set by having the treking poles as part of the design and set up; it just looks like a miss mash, I agree too fiddly, test it putting up in high wind or strong rain.

@garrylockett 8 месяцев назад

@BenRobinson1974 8 месяцев назад

I do get the pole thing though - its working on the assumption that you would be using trekking poles for walking so why make you carry another two for the tent as well. It is a saving - providing you would have trekking poles anyway.

One tent billowing like the sail on a galleon and the other taut as a drum. Just one of tens of reasons why both tents are in a league of their own. Sadly whilst the TN is in the Premier, the 3FUL is plays in the post beery lunch Sunday league!
