It was early summer when I headed off from Buttermere, Lake District,to collect three more Wainwright's: Great Borne, Starling Dodd and Red Pike. It was about 7 miles to Red Pike. As soon as I set up camp at Red Pike the weather deteriorated and it started raining and didn't stop all night. During the night the wind increased to 35mph, gusting up to 45mph. I was using the MLD Duomid for the first time and unfortunately my seam sealing skills are not the greatest and the tent leaked and made all my kit wet. I had planned to camp a second night at innominate Tarn but I had to settle with one night. The joys of wild camping in the mountains. A great adventure that really tested my kit and was a real learning experience.

That wind was brutal Lee, shame your gear got wet and you could only do one night but it made for a great video 📹 👌 Good stuff pal, looking forward to seeing more so I've subscribed to your channel ATB CHRIS 👍

@wildhypnotist 2 года назад

Thanks Chris. Yes it was brutal but good fun!!! Thanks for subscribing. Can't wait to get back out. Cheers ATB Lee

As you say Lee, 'The joys of wild camping in the mountains!' The weather did look a little brutal on Red Pike and it's no fun if your kit gets wet so that was probably a good call. I would be very happy with three Wainwrights. I'll look forward to your return. Have a great week. Atb Anthony

I won't lie I was a bit disappointed. But three more is better than nothing. Thanks for watching. Take care. Lee

Nice video, some beautiful scenes. Seam sealing seems to be a bit of a dark art!

@wildhypnotist 2 года назад

Thanks. Yes it is a dark art!!! Although Tony Hobbs recommends smearing it with your finger and rubbing it in neat. I've given it a go and it definitely looks much better. Just need a storm to test it out 🤣🤣

@tomwig100 Год назад

Apart from the leaking, looks like it handled the wind pretty well. Would have flattened a few tents

@wildhypnotist Год назад

It sure does handle strong wind very well. It was rock solid. Thanks for watching.

New subscriber.....how have you got on with your Duomid since this video Lee ???? have you resolved the seams leaking now ?

@wildhypnotist 2 года назад

Hi Olan, I've reseam sealed it but not had an opportunity to test it in bad conditions again. I'm confident it is ok now. It's a fantastic tent. Absolutely love it. Thanks for subscribing. Take care. Lee

@@wildhypnotist I am really looking forward to testing mine out but i need to seem seal it first....ATB

@wildhypnotist 2 года назад

@@Olan... check out Tony Hobbs - He has videos on seam selling the duomid. It's a bit unorthodox but it really works using your finger. I wish I had done it his way the first time. It is much better now.

@@wildhypnotist thanks for the heads up on that one Lee...i will watch it.
