Winter Solstice Forest Wild Camp In Remotest Wales. Almost Busted. 

Cheers Dan - you da man!

How do you know that nick name? Uiscedwr?

@@thegreatoutsiders yes, I have known Anna since she was a child. Met you at a gig in aylesbury. It must have been your first with them, you had "dont panic" written at the top of your play list.

@@greensnakelizard that sounds like me!! Haha :-)

Hey. Thanks for the comment. Lovely :-). Its a pioneer 2. 2kg. A bit too much for a stroll in the Wye Valley.... If you use poles I would get a Lanshan 2, check out my Snowdonia video, I'm using one on that, 800 grams !!! . If you don't have poles I would look a Tahji 2 for a summer tent. But for March..... yeah the Pioneer 2 might work for you... it's very durable in wind, a cheaper option which is robust and spacious is the Helm 2.

Thanks Jill. Loving the comment as always, means a lot :-)

Thanks mate. And thanks for watching the video!

Thanks Sam. I'm doing my best and I think its getting better. I really appreciate the sub and the comment. Much love :-)

That's really true! Our limitations define us and all that jazz! Nice one buddy, really appreciate the comment. Let's get out there again soon mate.

Too bad the tent sweats so much good dog you have there. Have fun stay safe.

@@kennethwilson8633 yeah, she's a great pooch. The tent was perspiring a bit hey!?

Don't think so! Sounds interesting. The ration packs are great, you don't get any fat or oil with the dehydrated meals.

Is it made in China?!? noooooo!!! How do you like yours? Haze is why I bought mine too....

@@thegreatoutsiders China - when I pilled it out of the packaging I saw the label Made in China, no problem with that, I've got the naturehike cloud peak 2, excellent tent and good value. I bought the Terra Nova thinking I was supporting British workers. I found the Pioneer to be well made and for me the right size for wild camping. These single person tents are just too small, I like that extra bit of room :)

@@garethandsylvia6656 Yep - I have a cloud peak too! Not so good in the wind though.

@@thegreatoutsiders Hence the Pioneer :) Just watching your video, Wild camp on a windy mountain in Snowdonia , 1year ago, Nice video, how is the busines going?

@@garethandsylvia6656 Great thanks, have a look at the website www.greatoutsiders.co.uk - if you know anyone that would like to come along...One of the ones we're organising one for Shropshire, 2 days. :-)

There's no land that's not in the uk. Some bugger own it

Didn't notice meself. Think it's just a farm track. :-)

Hi Graham. Massively appreciate the comment. Pioneer 2. What I known so far... Had it in 40 odd mile an hour winds; didn't budge. Condensation seems bad but.... it's a 4 season outer soooooo.... made in China, thought it was British made. The inner is a little baggy and the pitch can be tricky because the inner has bungees that don't quite fit, the ground sheet is a bit too big so you have to peg it separately. The inner has a few stitching issues as you saw in the vid. It's not 100% free standing because the inner relies on the outer being pitched before its taught, but it is 90% self standing. Tbh it's a great concept because what we want is a cloudpeak that's tougher and 4 season, or a soulo that's cheaper, the pioneer almost makes it IMO, and the main thing it's supposed to do is stand up to the wind and let me sit up and it does that. Only thing I miss is extra vestibule that I get with cloudpeak and lanshan. But something has to give when you want heavier poles and a tougher fly. Sorry for the massive answer. Unashamed gear geek. Oh and the cap is slightly baggy for some reason!?. I feel like it's only a 90% finished concept. If I was buying again I'd get the scarp, but not tried that. Have you?

@@thegreatoutsiders Thanks for the reply. I have cloud peak 2 helm 1 compact love that tent. Looked at scarp as well. Trouble is there is no where to go and see these tents for real. Do like the look of the scarp1. I would also love the soulo but don’t want to sell my house to buy one. 🤣🤣 Cheers Graham.

@@grahamscothern4319 there you go... all the same thoughts as me... maybe a 4 season version of the helm would be a good shout. Feel like theres a gap in the market.

@@thegreatoutsiders I have heard there is a new helm1 coming out this year. Could be interesting. Problem is I love tents I could just keep buying the bloody things. 🤣🤣🤣

@@grahamscothern4319 Oh cool. Yeah I could keep buying them too. I have a rich-ish mate who has bought Allack. Soulo and bunch of other tents, he's going to lend them to me :-) so I get the playing without the paying :-).
