The North Face Storm Break 2. First Set Up & First Impressions 

Hahahaha I’ll take it. Thanks for commenting and thank you for the good laugh. Cheers 🍻

Thanks for the great comment I really appreciate it and your the first to actually like my Newfoundland accent and that makes me smile.

Thank you so much for the very kind words I truly appreciate it. All the best to you and I’m wishing you many great adventures

Thank you so much I really appreciate it. I hope you get lots of great memories from using your new tent. Enjoy

Thanks so much I really appreciate it. Enjoy your new tent and congrats.

@@OutdoorsWithToddP thank you! I’m super excited, almost 30 and it’s my first time camping!

@@TheGroundWorm Never to late to start. I'm excited for you. I'm sure you will make lots of great memories.

Hahahaha have a great time.

Thank you so much for the sub. And of course your comment. I really appreciate it. A bag for the poles would be a good idea for sure.

The rei tent also looks great. Decisions decisions hey? Hahaha good luck on your decision.

Hey Kevin thank you for your kind comment I really appreciate it my friend. Have a good one

Thanks so much for the comment. I really appreciate it. Yes now me and the big guy will have a ton of room.

Thanks for the great comment I really appreciate it. Which part of the maritimes are you from?

@@OutdoorsWithToddP Southern NB.

The pants are from Born Primitive and they sell outdoor pants for lighter conditions and ones that are very warm. Highly recommended. Used the tent this fall in wet, rainy and cold weather and it was great. I think it was down to -6 on that trip. I will get back to you later today on your other question.

Ok thank you so much for answering! I really like the work you do so I subscribed

I really appreciate that. I’m going to answer your other question later when I have more time to sit and think about gear. Hope you have a great day

@@OutdoorsWithToddPok thanks no rudh

Okay my friend lets do this. LOL. I'm just going to list the gear I would take right now if I were planning a trip this weekend. Backpack, Tent, sleeping bag, inflatable pillow(Or to save weight toss your extra clothing into your tent bag or sleeping bags bag) & sleeping pad. Gas stove such as a MSR Pocket Rocket or Jetboil Mighty Mo with 2 gas Cannisters(227G). Cheap lighter and a Ferro rod. Small folding saw(Bahco Laplander). Extra Socks and baselayers only to be used when heading to bed. Nothing beats having fresh and dry socks & baselayers to change into right before bed. These can be stored into a large zip lock bag to keep dry if your are in wet conditions. Camp booties and a toque. Headlamp, first aid kit and a 1.5L smart water bottle. Can be re-used to hold water after you filter or boil it(let cool down first). Use a Nalgene bottle if its colder because you can place boiling water in it and place it inside your clothing or sleeping bag if it gets to cold. Toiletries and food. Dehydrated meals are the easiest and lightest. Energy bars and trail mix. Fork & Knife. Gloves for work and gloves for warmth. Depending on the temps.

I like both tents but if I had to choose one it would be this one. More room and the awning feature sells it for me. Thanks for the comment and question

Great question. This is the tents foot print and is sold separately. And is tent specific. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for commenting and watching this video & the other one. I really appreciate it. Even though I like the Storm Break 1 I don't think I will use it before using the Storm Break 2. I really love this tent. The room etc is really a great feature. I hope you enjoy your backpacking and bikepacking trips.

Sorry to hear that. I hope they didn’t change the design because those straps make the tent so much better. I would like to hear their response to you. Thank you for sharing

​@@OutdoorsWithToddPI had good contact with the Dutch customer service. They will take back the tent. Had me reorder (higher price) and refund the difference after the first tent gets back to them. The second tent did have the tightening straps. And seemed devoid of faults.

@@FlexDRG I am glad to hear they fixed things up for you. To bad that happened in the first place I am happy to hear they provided you with good service. Thank you for the update.

Yeah that’s a great tent as well. Enjoy your travels

Thanks Tammy I am going to try and include more bloopers in the future. Thanks for the comment. Hope all is well with you?

@@OutdoorsWithToddP it most certainly is I absolutely cannot wait to get back on the Athabasca River this year!

Yeah same here I am just itching to get out again for a paddle

Thank you Ken. I really appreciate this my friend. I love your comment and truly you have made my day with your kind words. Thanks brother. I hope you get this tent and really enjoy it.

Thanks so much for the great comment I really appreciate it. And of course I hope you enjoy your weekend

Thanks so much for saying that I really appreciate it. Thanks for your comment and I hope you enjoy your new tent

I don't think I would go any lower then -10 with this tent. That is of course if you are using a good sleep system(sleeping bag(s), sleeping pads etc etc). I have used it down to -5 while using only a foam pad and a -17 rated sleeping bag & I stayed warm all night. The tent fly does keep you fairly protected from the wind other then a few inches from the ground where wind and cold air can get in. Hope this helps you out & thank you for commenting. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for the reply I really appreciate it.

No problem at all my friend.

Thank you so much I really appreciate it. So far I am loving this tent.

I appreciate that my friend I am very glad that you liked it. There are also 4 straps, 1 on each corner as well. Te lo agradezco amigo me alegro mucho que te haya gustado. También hay 4 correas, 1 en cada esquina también.

First off thank you so much for the kind words I really appreciate it. I don’t have to many issues with the yellow mesh, easy to look out and I don’t think it adds to attracting bugs. It also appears almost clear when looking out. Easy on the eyes.

​@@OutdoorsWithToddP I got the 2-person Stormbreak; it was on sale, too. Haven't used it yet; only set it up indoors. I'll be using it for road trips. It's so easy to set up; it's sturdy and the colors are beautiful.

@@marilyn2 That's so awesome to hear. I'm very excited for you. Have a great time during your road trips. And of course thanks for commenting.

Ahh thank you so much for saying this. I really appreciate it.

0.75 because I talk to fast? Hopefully you can look past that and check out my other video's. You maybe pleasantly surprised. Anyways I recently picked up an ultralight tent and will be doing a video on that coming soon. I hope you check that one out. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

@@OutdoorsWithToddP Yes. But it's more of a recommendation to make it easier to catch the bursts of speech in case others are having difficulty, rather than a recommendation to avoid them altogether. :) Take care.

@@cobbler88 Something I need to work on for sure. LOL

My pleasure I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much

Yeah this tent would be awesome while bikepacking. I like light tents but being comfortable and not feeling confined is also very important. Thanks for the great comment. Much appreciated.

Does this tent come with the footprint or is it sold separately?

@@EM-vd6wi No, even the higher end tents require you to get the footprint separately.

Because of where I come from. Proud to be from Newfoundland in Canada. In Newfoundland there is a very unique accent due to all the different cultures that migrated there and established the culture. But I'm also proud to call Fort McMurray Alberta my home as well.. Another unique & diverse community. I may not be the perfect speaker but I make up for it in other ways. Check out my other video's you may be pleasantly surprised. :) Thanks for the comment.

Your speech is fine, love the energy.@@OutdoorsWithToddP

I really appreciate that. Thank you for taking the time to write this.

This was my first time opening, checking out and setting up this tent. Yes there are 4 straps with grommets on the underside of the rain fly to attach it to the two cross poles. Unfortunately I missed those while setting it up in this video. Sorry about that. Another great feature to an already great tent. Thanks for commenting.
