The comparison that wasn't. Hilleberg Soulo & Nortent Vern1 

Condensation is due to basic Laws of nature (warm moist air from within the tent coming into contact with the colder fly inner side and condensing there) - it can be mitigated, but never eliminated; differences in ventilation properties and resultant condensation levels vary between tent makers and their respective designs of course, and different venues on different days have different conditions and humidity content too. Overall, I’ve heard far more comments about condensation being encountered by users of the Hilleberg Soulo than the Nortent Vern 1, but of course it’s still early days. It’s great that you’re addressing this aspect in this video. 👍🏻

I'll be homeless this Saturday and bought the cheapest tent from Decathlon. Would you recommend this Vern 1 for urban camping?

Enjoyed the good blunt discussion on the tents, trolls and those who have a favourite tent until they get sent another free one. 😂😂 Shame the weather wasn't nastier mate. Cracking location, and thanks for the mention on my channel.

He does love his vestibules! 😜 It's great to see another creator spitting facts about tents/gear instead of blowing smoke up companies arses. It's refreshing 👌 I get up too early for sunrises, bring on summer so i can see some! 🤣 Although autumn is the best time of year to catch them and sunsets 🤩 Good luck on your Sweden adventure pal 💪😎💪

Really interesting thanks Scott. 1st vid of yours I've seen. Ordered my Vern yesterday so well looking forward to taking it out!👍

My vern will be delivered by the end of April beginning of may. So may not get much chance to really test it till winter... my lightweight 4season tent is the fjallraven abisco light 1.. An amazing tent. I have the oex flux mat ( I think it's r rating is 3 ). My only other piece of oex kit is the bobcat 1. Again an amazing little tent. No sorry i tell a lie , I have the leviathon 900 sleeping bag. Though I have only used it once and am selling it as I got the Rab ascent 1100 around the same time. My winter sleeping mat is the Rab 5.5 it's a beast, it takes up so.much room in my bag.. As you say there is no perfect tent , I use different tents for different camping requirements.. if I just go to a local woodland I may use a cheapy tent , my naturehike cloudpeak 2 for example... I did read somwhere that a hilleberg black label with footprint comes in at about 3kg, so the vern is not too different. When I go up in the mountains I take the abisco or the bobcat. At the time the bobcat cost me 40 somthing quid . What a bargain it was , and I trust it because it has never let me down, in some terrible weather. Take care out there.

Hi Scott. Regarding your Thermarest mattress, they have a lifetime guarantee. If you contact Cascade Designs and put a warranty claim in, they should send a replacement out to you. I did it with an Xtherm that had a popped baffle. I posted it to the address they gave me and received a brand new one about a week later 👍

Bang on Scott. Im a huge advocate for telling it how it is and with tents and hiking its incredibly subjective. You'll command more respect being like this than any of the eluded to channels. Its 2024 though so id expect some crying a**es and dummy spitting but hey ho. For the record and in theme. I love the ultralight stuff for multi dayers and im a scarp, kuiu storm star and durston xmid fan boy.......even though i actually own a scarp ultra and a zpacks duplex. We all love our gear and can justify why but if someone wants to terror them......i wont cry about it 😂 Really refreshing to have someone tell it how it is and as long as it stays that way......ill be watching mate 🙂 Take care, Adge

I prefer the circular/oval doors, so clearly your preference of a T-door is wrong! lol :D

Hi Scott. New sub 100% based on your analysis of RU-vidrs promoting free tents.

Thanks for the detailed commentary. I am waiting for the Nallo. Wishing you safe adventures and good fortune. Happy Trails!

If there was a perfect tent and price for everyone, there'd only be one type for sale. There's lots because everyone has different likes and wants. The worst condensation I've ever had was in a hammock, under a tarp. No lack of ventilation but everything was drenched. This is the only time it happened in over a hundred nights. You can't make a tent view on just a couple of nights. Nice to hear sensible thoughts.

Not where I thought your camp was. Looks nice, though. The industry, as it was, must have a similar building for the same process. Great vid.😊

31kph is about 18 19mph buddy

Top Man! That's the way to do it, open and honest yet you're open to new products but as long as they tick the boxes you require for a super camp. Well done, that was great to watch. Good luck doing the Fjallraven Classic - hope you record that each day.

Very grounded and good video. Got the Vern 1 myself. Apart from a few cheap-feeling aspects (guylines, inner tent loops and flimsy plastic hooks on the ventilation caps), it really is a piece of quality with well tought out solutions. I swapped the guylines out with the ones from the Fjällräven Abisko line, and that has massively raised the quality feeling for me.

I totally agree there's no such thing as a perfect tent I've got a few Xmid kuiu mountain star and storm star and hilleberg niak all have the own little faults either weight size or price the beat tent is that suits you the best.

Hopefully, you'll get some wind, snow, and sun next time.

I have the vern 1 and recently I have seen 2 videos that people been out in winds above 40 and the poles have snapped and bent but myself into astro photography and like to have a camp fire going is not going to camp out in really high winds but this have happened.

Really enjoyed this, thanks Scott.

Nice chat! thanks for the shout out Scott. We'll done for calling sh**te on condensation boy. I am expecting a lot of those to crawl out from under their stones for my upcoming Vern 2 video.

New subscriber 👍

Camped the same spot a couple of weeks back with friends.

😅😅😂

Great honest feedback. Just come across your channel so will be checking out more 👍
