Why the Hilleberg Unna is BETTER than the Soulo 

www.messner.co.uk WIN a Brand New 4 Season Tent (NORTENT Vern 2).

Don’t feel like you have to please anyone Paul, we love your channel because of you being you. Don’t change it

for myself I have really enjoyed this change. it gets a bit monotonous watching folk walk somewhere (rain or shine) pitch a tent cook a meal get up make coffee and go back. So this has been a breath of fresh air. Thanks Paul, I am glad that is has put a bit of a spring in your step too.

Didn't realise Jo was/is so talented, excellent artwork. This series of yours has been a brilliant idea...... I didn't think much of it at the start to be fair, but after about a week I saw the real value and really got into it. This sector of RU-vid does get a bit monotonous, after all, in a nutshell, guy packs bag, guy walks with bag, up hill/mountain, sleeps in tent for the night, walks back. I take my hat off to all of you creators for trying to find variations on the theme to keep it interesting. I'd be proud as punch if I was you Paul, it's been a great series........ Jo too needs thanking. ATB

Mrs messner got skills!

I really want to thank you for your perspective at 3:30. I’ve been pigeon holed as a creator for The Long Dark gameplay and survival games mostly. Mainly my own doing because early on that was all I played. However, I want some variety now with other games, but the thought of losing a few thousand subs and exponentially more views has pumped the brakes on me expanding my content. Your attitude towards this on your channel has solidified it for me. I’ll go my own path and those that want to join me can; those that don’t, well that’s fine too…and understandable. Thanks!

I got a Niak about a month ago. My first Hilleberg, but I love it. I've been field testing it hard, even pitching it in the Italian Alps a little over a week ago. It's dead easy to pitch, strong, palatial for one inside, and not overly crammed with features, but all the features it does have are well designed.

A friend biught one if those little drones, and its quite a lot of fun! The fact it follows you so easily is a lot of fun.

I love seeing Jodie in your movies. She’s a very bright person, the best part of your life!😊

Wow, she is very talented! I would buy one if I lived in England!😊

Wow i love your Mrs Management’s paintings she’s super super talented

Some real nice paintings there from Jo, hope she did well selling some. I'm saving up the RU-vid money and I'm thinking about a Hilleberg but will be a big step for me to purchase something so expensive as I've never been able to do it before, I'll have to have a big think 🤔. Good on you for doing what you want to do, stick with that approach I'd say.

As much as I love your camping videos, I've really enjoyed this 30 day challenge, just seeing all the different ways you've managed to come up with interesting content every day for a month. Really looking forward to the finale.... and I hope beer is involved, because you've definitely earned it.

Your wife's paintings are beautiful! If I lived in your country, I'd buy a couple in a second. She needs to be charging a LOT MORE for her works. They are very underpriced.

I love the daily vlog. It's like a comfort blanket. When all the world is messed up, get Paul Mesner out and the world is a better place. Thanks Paul.

Really enjoying this months challenge, it is nice to get to know you and Jo a little more. Jo's artwork look great btw.

Your Mrs is very talented 👏

Thanks for answering my drone audio question, Paul. Appreciate you don’t do “reviews”, but that’s helpful stuff. Like these shorts, chap. You can be a bit Yorkshire (for my southern sensivities) in the long form stuff. (o; I’m enjoying this You. Perhaps the ‘less hassle’ factor is coming through?

Very much enjoyed the variation, but I enjoyed the camping stuff too. The enjoyment comes through, keep doing what makes you smile 👏👏

It’s all about perspective and usage re Soulo vs Unna. I’d only want the Soulo on the summits and in the winter. That peace of mind is everything when alone on the mountain, the weather can change so quickly. Soulo, for me, is the daddy. I’ve used the Unna a few times and I’d prefer it lower down or in better weather, but in those scenarios I’d be using a Trekking pole tent anyway. Anyway, just thought I’d give an alternative perspective mate ⛰️

Thanks again Paul, there is more than one Ale trail though! I'm more familiar with the line that goes from Manchester to Huddersfield via Stalybridge, Mossley etc - or even deeper into Yorkshire to e.g. Dewsbury.

Hi Paul. You are looking fantastic. Also it’s lovely that your wife features in your videos. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. Much appreciated 😊

Tent and stove content will get me to click right away! Jo's paintings are lovely! Wow, I hope she had some success at the sale. Also, your videos have been fun. They are different content but I like it, it feels like you're opening up and sharing more of your life with viewers which is fun.

Just had a brilliant idea to create some revenue for the Messner empire: get Jo to create a design of a country scene, then add a few mystic philosophical words and put them on china mugs. Gad, I'd have a set, instantly.

It's your personality I've subscribed for, so whatever content you put out i tend to enjoy it. Keep up the camping videos though!

I agree with a subscriber who said he subscribed for your personality, plus the different content does keep it fresh, I wish I could get out camping , I used to go night fishing, and enjoyed the great outdoors, you sir are a great inspiration

Hi, Paul (and Jo). I've really enjoyed the June "challenge" videos. I'm not a camper, but I'm subscribed to a few camping channels. The "getting away from it all" is the appeal. Even if I'm just watching you doing it.✌

Paul, at the start of this challenge, you challenge all of us to do the same. I said I would, but have only managed one video and a couple of shorts! What I have done though is think about the creative process and even how i "run" my life. Its been illuminating and Im pleased with the changes Ive made and the promise for the future. Its been great seeing you go through this, some of your videos (well, most) have been top quality and very entertaining, but the best part is seeing you enjoy yourself and I think youve grown as a content creator. Thank you, and I really hope that you manage to maintain the number of videos that you produce, maybe not every single day, but certainly more shorter style vids.

Hi Paul, I really enjoy your content whatever you get up to! This month has been brilliant, and it's given your viewers something to look forward to every day 😊. Great to see more of Jo in your videos too 👋 You've nearly completed your challenge 🌟 Alison

The channel is about you doing what you enjoy. Nothing more, nothing less. Don’t let it change please.

Those magic words...."more importantly.... It's been fun!" that's the spirit 👍

Another great video. I'm glad you said the Unna is a good tent I bought one on watching yours and others videos. Jo is so talented. Thank you. 😊

So proud of you❤

Could you do a comparison video between the lonepeaks and the Olympus shoes, that would be a great one!

Its been nice to see you and joe every day, Enjoyed the Hammock video. Great channel.

I made the transition 12 months ago to barefoot shoes and I've not looked back. I've found my cheap Hobibear ones from Amazon extremely comfy, they're probably the comfiest shoes I own.

I bought the Unna and it's an amazing tent! It can withstand an awful lot of conditions and definitely has a vestibule. The soulo was way too small when I went to have a look at one and the vestibule is teeny

Have enjoyed the change. Thanks.( Not really interested in watching someone cooking dinner in their tent). Still like the walking camping ,gear, and enjoyed the one with Andy Beavers.

The inner of the Unna can be folded right back and a helinox chair can be easily used inside if you are not too tall. Gives even more space for cooking safely.

Bet the guy was shouting, "very good very niiiiiiice" 😂😂😂

Love the paintings

Thanks Paul for another great video , however people should follow the link to Jo‘s page and buy some lovely pictures. Already placed my order😊.

Great content mate, watched and gave a like every day. Followed you for years

There is a great ale train from Alton in Hampshire

Paul, just carry on with the great content. Variety is the spice of life, as they say. 😊

I looked a the hoover air X1 about a year ago, and decided not to purchase because the video quality is not up to the standard I want. However the whispers are the X2 will come out soon and much better video quality. So yeah then I will most likely purchase one.

Love your vids, wishing you all the best in the future. What is that mono-pod table?

Hi Paul, I subscribed to your channel to see your 30-day challenge. You have been entertaining me, I normally only watch one channel from each genre. Pat Dickerson is my go-to wild camp, Peak District channel. You are in now, but I hike but not camp anymore. So, I enjoy the sights and the conversation. I live in Northern New England, White Mountain National Forest. Thanks for the videos! 😸

I do like that little hover camera... Take care out there.

I've been looking forward to your short daily uploads, I like the wild camping stuff but understand it not something that can be done consistently

I got the Unna too. Like it 👍🙂

Like the new format. 👍

Barefoot shoes are the best! Keep it up

Wow, technology is everything we imagined it could be back in the day! I’m still waiting for the hoverboard and the cure for cancer though!😊

Why not add a bit of bushcraft to wildcamps?

The only issue I had with the Soulo BL was condensation. With the flap on the inner door open, condensation would still form on the inner wetting the foot of my sleeping bag when touched, water droplet would also form on the inside of the inner eventually and drip, but not enough to be an issue.. Solved the sleeping bag end getting wet with an expensive sleeping bag cover from PHD. The Soulo has restricted porch space but inner tent space is perfect as you dont touch the inner except the sleeping bag end, the shape being perfect. For bad weather , take a 2nd short pole for the Soulo BL giving complete faith in it no matter what the wind direction. Due to bad experiences in the past , if in doubt , will take the Soulo BL, as prefer overkill than taking a risk. Have had I think 6 Hilleberg tents,the Unna though not being one of them as I assumed it had no porch space. It also looks like not being easy to pitch if windy as will be a sail till pegged down unlike the Soulo or a tunnel tent. The Soulo BL may be considered heavy at about 6lbs, but lighter than the Tarra I used to haul around weighing about 10 lbs.

Some gadgets sell themselves. That's a great drone for those tired of faffing with technology and just want something user-friendly and simple. While it may not have the image quality of a DGI, it certainly doesn't have poor image quality, at least from my perspective. Video is much like audio in that you can have some audiofiles be disgusted at anything below 320kbps while most folks just don't care, since they aren't listening on a $300 speaker. Most watching these videos are watching at 1080p or less, so the drone's footage is still good, imo. I've always like the idea of a drone but been too lazy to get one. The one you showed here is the one I'd be most likely to pick up. Kudos to the creators for thinking about what people actually want. The noise canceling is impressive too, though I'd hope future iterations cancel less ambient noise - I'm sure they can work that out. I've been enjoying your daily videos. I think the split you're seeing might be folks who are here for your activities, versus people who are here for you/your personality. There are some folks I watch and I like what they do, more so than care to listen to their life and troubles. Then there are folks like you where I'm here for you, your personality, and opinions. Its not like I don't get enough camping videos in my feed from another half-dozen youTubers so if that's all I wanted, I'd just watch those. I think the variety is refreshing- helps to keep the channel fresh, and keep your mind active and spirits high. So I've been enjoying it. If you're happier with this format, I reckon that's great for most. You've come a long way over the past year. So, what happened to that van I think you and Jo kitted out? I remember some vids about it, but I figured you'd be using it to travel a bit more, and that it might feature in further videos. Jo's art is awesome. There are some folks who paint and the main benefit is it makes them happy, rather than them creating any impressive art. Not the case here - I'd be happy with her art on every wall. Great eye.

Thanks Paul - I ordered a pair of those shoes👍

paintings are fantastic!

I think it's really weird that a subscriber would unsubscribe because you've done something different for a month. Surly you just wouldn't watch if it wasn't for you, and watch what ticks the boxes. Very strange indeed. I've actually enjoyed your challenge and something different everyday.

I have the unna and myself and my 2 dogs fit in it easily 😀👍

What was that little green-top backpacking table in the B-roll you showed? Thanks

Subscriber's come and go Paul just do what makes you happy nearly a review video there mind 😂😂 atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

good video mate, have a good weekend

@jo really nice work

Good watch as always, ha way the lads

She’s very good!

I am a big fan of barefoot shoes, especially the Jim Green barefoot boots

Does it need CAA 250g stuff... I've got CTs Niak

Hi Paul, can you get the net inner in the UK?

Stop it Paul... The Unna has become my dream tent

Hi Paul, great video. Can I ask what GoPro you use pal? Cheers

Having owned both and a black label soulo, I'd stick with the black label soulo all day long and I'm 6ft 3. Unna is great though, especially with the upgraded 10mm poles and extra guy lines but... after purchasing all those extras... £££

Would you fold back the inner and dig a cat hole for a poo, like a certain northern Irish RU-vidr suggested recently? Love Jo's artwork.

Good vid see you later

I'd love that drone but it would not be appreciated in the forests where I backpack.

Not far from you, up Stannington bud

👋🏼

No white shoes anymore

that drone is SICK!

Hey Paul, I always assumed Jo was a Josephine 😂. Lovely work though. Atb, Paul

Why not walk the ale trail?

😂👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀👍👍👍😀😀😀😀

No way better no where near as strong and robust , it won’t stand tough winds like the soulo

I see Allak more popular then Unna if im not mistaken its lighter also and better for long distance hiking. p.s. I bet those paintings will be out of stock very soon after that video😅

Drones in general but in particular this rather high pitched Hover drone: I find it quite annoying being out in nature and then hearing a really high pitched Hover drone. Total disrespect of other people’s space and enjoyment of nature. Leave no trace isn’t only about not littering etc, but also not disturbing those around you who are also enjoying the nature. Obviously pilot can choose when and and when not to fly a drone so as not to disturb others.

Yes it is, but try buying one....

Sorry, had to skip the majority of this video. Ads have gone crazy and you can’t skip.

Paul, If you find making stuff for people who signed up with you for hiking uploads, a chore, and you don’t mind losing viewers ; then soon you’ll be making home videos. Enjoy, I’m off😢
