I have got the Hilleberg Nammatj 2 Dan and last winter i was side by side with my mate who has the Kuiu Storm Star and while the Nammatj stood up well in the wind , it was flapping and the Storm Star was Bomb Proof solid and there was absolutely no sign of any flapping. It's a very impressive tent indeed.
At that price its for serious campers, myself for £500+ i would want valet parking, meals, dancing girls & unlimited breakfast for a year 😂, nice one Dan 👍
I've had this tent for a few years and had it out in some strong winds and epic rain. It had held up really well in all conditions. No flapping which for me makes a huge difference. I think it's an absolute cracking tent. Enjoy :-)
Hi mate, the zips near the vents are there so you don't have to get out of the tent to open and close them!! If you need it venting just zip open the four season door
Completely worth every penny. And if you think the price tag is alot, save up for one you wont regret it or sell your other tents and just have this one.
Thanks Dan,Interesting review. I've never taken much notice before but after watching the Blot Outdoors Show the other day he mentioned that unlike you, who reviews tents, etcetera mostly to get freebies and offers from companies, he has decided not to take advantage of his massive following. I think he has a good point and has gained a lot of respect from his fans. You say that you paid for this tent out of your RU-vid payments, which is a good way of offsetting your tax, but of course, you are entitled to do that. However, would you ever consider being like Blot (Chris) and put a stop accepting freebies as well as what you are earning from YT? By the way, Dan, whatever you decide to do, I'll always follow your awesome channel.
I'm sure whatever direction both you and Blot choose to take Dan, it will be good for your for your following, and for both your channels. Be that person!
@@englishwoodsman I watch Blot as well, he does have freebies sometimes but only top stuff that he wants to recommend, such as an Ebike he had. I don't know what that guy's on about not spending your RU-vid money, it's what it's there for, and why people pay Patreon to support channels, so you can buy stuff like this and create more content. It''s appreciated by people who like to see tents like this when they're thinking of buying one themselves. Some people don't appreciate all the work it takes creating videos, and think it's money for nothing. You earned it so spend it on whatever helps grow your channel. Nobody with an ounce of common sense will criticise that. Looking forward to seeing your first camp in the KUIU!
What Dan is saying is that whatever freebies he gets is given back to his subscribers, whereas and as you say Blot also has freebies such as ebikes etcetera,which he gives away to his family. That in itself is not a problem! Personally whatever anyone wants to do with their money and gifts is up to them. It's nobody else's business. Keep doing what you're doing Dan and Blot.
@@englishwoodsmanyou do your own thing Dan never try to be like someone else your better than that we watch you because your the englishwoodsman the one and only stay true to yourself bud.Tent looks awsome good on you pal.All the very best 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
Hi Dan , I think it could be a great idea to stick waterproof tape that matches the pockerts on the tent , onto the ends of the Poles to show which one goes where , for when its getting Dark ? 🤔🤨
Sorry if I'm putting this in the wrong place, Dan, but I couldn't find a more appropriate place. 3:46 Has the giveaway of the hot tent been done yet? I've been bedbound the last couple of weeks so I'm struggling on catching up with everyone. Keep up the good work with the channel, your's is the one I head to first along with my 14-year-old son. You're actually responsible for him being mad keen to gettjng started on camping when my old bones and muscles allow. There's a big age gap between us, he's 14 and I'm 72. He's mad keen to learn camping skills from me, and you of course. Anyway, we love your laid back attitude. If you are ever in Scotland and travelling up the A1 give us a wave, I'll look out some spare haggis traps for you 😊
great tent dan i bet thats better than most tents in its range .great bit of kit .also dan have you done the tent draw i dont think you have yet because i watch all your videos ?
I really like the look of this tent I'll definitely be taking a look. The £ is high but if it doesn't leak and stays warm then I am super interested as I plan to go walking for a few months this winter
Great vid. Did the price you paid include import fees / vat etc. I find the website a bit odd it appears like your buying from uk stock but everything on the site points to USA stock
If I had the money, I'd pay it for the confidence in the equipment. But until I can afford a tent like that, I won't be spending too much time in the Grampians! I let you do it for me haha
Dan, did you get excited when you got the tent. I am as I'm watching you open the tent up. Really looking forward to seeing this in action. Its nice to see something different 😊
Like the video on the tent my mate got one he said they should have mesh near the vents nice and roomy inside the tent great video on KUIU 2 person tent Dan.
Great tent, but maybe a bit much for weekend camping. I use my Vango Soul 200 all year, in winter storms I just camp lower down in a valley or near a natural shelter. Your older tents were more than upto the job, just dont be daft and pitch on a exposed hill top in windy weather. Mountain Rescue must dred youtube videos of campers on hill tops in storms, look for sensible places to pitch instead.
Blot Outdoors is up to his old tricks again. Why on earth does he think it's OK to mention other RU-vidrs' business affairs regarding accepting free gifts from companies for mentioning their products? And then, in the same breath tell us that the 3 E-bike's that he was given were shared out amongst his family members. As if that wasn't blatant contradictory, he tell his followers that he is now expecting to receive a folding E-bike that he will keep for himself. The reason that I've just unsubscribed to his channel is not because he contradicts himself but because he drags the names of other RU-vidrs into his pathetic and mostly drunken narrative. Carry on doing what you do, Daniel. Your subscribers know and respect your honest channel.
Love your channel, appreciate you... but there is no functionally better tent than the Eureka! TCOP. If you have doubts, I'm willing to allay them with spending the night in ALL four seasons in New Hampshire. Even in the Whites. That's about as best pedal to metal you could ever hope for, and I'm game.
Will be interesting to Compare this tent with my Vango Halo 3 Person Geodesic Dome tent , Which cost when I brought it £ 180.00 . and has a very similar Waterproof rating .🤔🤨😊👍
Dan 530 pnds? how much does that cost in cash wise ? 3.00ks how much weight is this? I would know all this but sorry being from the USA we dont use them like london does? In winds that would be great esp 35 to 80 mhp:). This tent looks big enuff for 2 people . Thanks Dan take care have a fantastic weekend? Love ya Barbara & Sam NWP, FL. USA baby
The instructions are on the bag label 😂 peg the corners loosely then connect the grey carabiners, then clip the rest, door ties better if you unzip it fully 😉
@chucky2316 Daniel is far from a fool. He works hard and puts a great deal of effort into his channel. The fact that he's spent his own money to show his subscribers what they get for their buck and then gives his items back to his subscribers makes him a very generous and intelligent RU-vidr.
I see the Blot Outdoors Show does not think too much of you accepting all these products for review just to make a buck, he says he doesn't do "shit" like that in his latest video hmmm?
Me and my Misses watch you all the time.We just want to say .Your hard work is paying off . its great to see companies are taking you seriously and sending you stuff. well done .
