Thank you.

Much appreciated. Thanks for watching. 👍🏼

Some viewers like imperial and some metric. Either way, someone would complain if I missed one or the other. 😁

Double poling is recommended for high wind situations.

$531 USD Vern 1, $671 USD Vern 2.

No, it's less.

They are strong looking tents. Can you use them with a woodstove?

@@BrokenVikingOutdoors no

Much appreciated. Thank you for watching me stumble through my first video.

Thanks for watching, much appreciated.

That's the nice thing with tents, lots of choices for everyone's needs. The weight doesn't bother me to be honest. Currently out in it right now.

@@BrokenVikingOutdoors All right!! Hope you’re having an excellent time out there! I’d like to be doing the same!! I’m more than willing to carry extra weight too if needed. Cheers!

Not sure why you are telling me this, but thanks for being concerned for my safety. 😊

Are you nuts? The tent are surely made for this. What will not however is if some noob pitch the tent on a storm where winds are 70 mph, wich no professional would ever do, and if so the pros would carry double poles like you also can put on a Hilleberg tent. lol. Some comments lol

@DanielOutdoors Hopefully you could see my sarcasm in reply to the previous comment. 'Dangerous" . 🤣🤣

These Vern tents have been snapping pole in winds above 40! They could be real dangerous if used improperly ….they are not a mountaineering tent….

I was more impressed with your sleeping system tbh 😮 but the tent definitely looks solid tho! I’d trust it in a storm😊

It definitely feels more rigid, but having used it quite a few times now, I think it needs to be reconfigured on the ends, as that is where the forces tend to want to push it in. The guyline attachment points need to be looked at on the ends too, as they don't seem to provide much strength at the height they are. Caveat, I haven't used it in gale force winds yet, as where I wild camp, it's heavily forested which gives some degree of wind protection. Apart from a potential tree landing on me of course. It feels stronger on the sides, which is the opposite of what it should be. But to sum up, adding thicker poles or doubling up is relatively cheap insurance when out in harsh conditions. Still a great tent and has its purpose, but myself and others have noticed the same issues, so It's not just heresay. The Hilleberg BL Soulo would be the one for harsh, exposed high elevations at this point. I do hope Nortent takes a look as they have in the past with end user suggestions etc. I'm not abandoning the brand as others have, and a Gamme 6PC hot tent will be my next tent from them.

Check out the Western Mountaineering ones, you'll be equally shocked. Thanks for watching.

@@BrokenVikingOutdoors the Canis one looks amazing tbf… keep up the good work with the vids. 👌🏼

It was ridiculous. I found out that hundreds of planes had been diverted due to the snowstorm, then they all decided to fly overhead all hours of the morning and night.

I changed my poles out to 10.25mm DAC's. Check out Fellmandave. He is in direct contact with Nortent regarding this.

@@BrokenVikingOutdoors I have heard the DAC's make the best poles and have been thinking of getting some myself but it all costs again but I suppose they are worth it in the long run as the tent is great, thank you for the information as I was not sure who to contact and will look into it. Cheers from Wales 👍

I followed Nortent's advice about double polling so purchased another set of original poles. I trust if Nortent is going to ammend the poles in the near future existing customers are going to receive a replacement pair from the first batch. It's almost akin to a product recall.

@@smellyoldsock1553 Should be interesting. 👍🏼

@@smellyoldsock1553 after seeing what owner have shown on here 2 days ago I looked in the booklet that came with tent and it mentions about using double poles so that’s the way to go if out in windy conditions, also many of the real expensive well known brands do advise on doubling up poles so this is the norm unless we use the thicker expensive poles.

Thanks for watching.

This is the page u need to order all the correct poles.. www.extremtextil.de/en/tent-poles/dac-featherlite-nsl/10-25mm.html But for me shipping and total cost worked out cheaper buying ones from Hilleberg that I cut down to size. Code : 032760 is the number on the Hilleberg site.

@@BrokenVikingOutdoors thanks mate. shouldn't have to do this, but glad there's a solution!

@@GregTheCamper Completely agree

Nice one ​@@BrokenVikingOutdoors

@@BrokenVikingOutdoorsdid you buy 3 poles of the same length? Seen others order 2 different sizes.

Fellmandave, just had some poles snap on his Vern 2 and Rowan Wild Camps had a pole snap on his Vern 1. Thinking that my 10.25mm DAC change was now a good call.

As a new channel it takes a couple of months until they let me link things properly.

@@BrokenVikingOutdoors no worries I understand that, just hoping to point you in the direction I want. Not going to lie to you.

@alpinealpine2793 🤣 I have to get verified first which has certain criteria, views, subscribers etc. Even my links for other people's channels aren't highlighted yet.

@@alpinealpine2793 I think it's in place to stop fraud and scammers.

Thank you for watching. Can't wait for next winter to get the woodstove in it. 👍

I do miss the moors of England though. Thanks for watching.

Hey Gaz , you are bang on with the accent .My accent is pretty messed up. Originally from England. Irish Dad, scouser mum. Spent a lot of my school hols in Northern Ireland. Parents sent me there, as I was probably a little shit. 🤣🤣 You a veteran too?

@@BrokenVikingOutdoors Irish da and Ma from Liverpool. That's at least 75% Irish so. :)

@@citizenwolf8720 Definitely a shit disturber with these genetics. 💥💯💪

It's Canadian Boreal forest. Thanks for watching.

The 2 longer poles go over the shorter pole.

Pheww. Had me worried for a aecond, that I'd messed up 😮😅. ​@Dartmoor_

In a couple of frames it does look like the shorter center pole is going under then over, but it's just the angle, as I did start with the center pole first, passing the longer two pole over the top.

@@BrokenVikingOutdoorsthe longer poles get supported by the shorter ones, I have noticed some KZbinrs do it the other way

@@Camped_on_Dartmoor I pitch mine based on Nortents PDF instructions.

The bathtub style floor is attached to the tent inner, and you have the option to purchase the extra footprint which is shown in the video. The footprint covers the area of the bathtub floor and both vestibules. Thanks for watching.

@@BrokenVikingOutdoors Thanks for reply. Cheers.

On an angle yes. I can't really comment on the comparison between the Hilleberg Allak as I've never owned Any Hillebergs. But as a Nortent Vern 1 and 2 owner. I can't fault the quality of both tents. Thanks for watching.

Also available on Amazon UK. Cheapest to purchase from Aliexpress though, if you aren't in a rush. Ground Mat Camping Aluminum Sleeping Foam Mat 200 X 150 cm / 6.56 X 4.9Ft Insulating Thermal Waterproof Mat Foldable Double-sided Tent Pad Ultralight Floor Mat of Aluminum Foil amzn.eu/d/cXdUxVN

Another brand Pomoly makes hot tents, too. I have their Titanium mini 2.0. Stove. Good quality 👌🏼 Thanks for watching.

For car camping I'd go with a Gazelle T4 Overland Edition. You can stand up in a Gazelle. And enough room for two full size cots, and more.

Hi, as I've never owned any Hillebergs fine products, I cannot comment on their designs etc. What attracted me to the Nortent company was their willingness to listen feedback from customers. I was looking at Hillebergs but the Nortents are better suited to my needs and requirements.

Thanks for watching Clive. 👍

Agreed. And seems like most tent reviews are being made from guys shorter than 6ft. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. Next time I will actually drink a beer 🍺 😂 instead of just carrying it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Definitely, splitting it up between two people makes sense. For me, I don't mind the weight, but in a 60L pack, that's a lot of room that gets eaten up. Great series of tents nonetheless. Well thought out and bombproof.Thanks for watching.

Yes, it is free standing, just like the New Vern 1. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Dave, it was you and a few others who inspired me into taking this KZbin journey. Cheers mate.

@@BrokenVikingOutdoors good luck!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the kind words. Did you get the footprint too. If you did, I found the easiest way to put it on, is to simply invert the tent on something soft and then clip it in while inverted. Shiny side up like the bathtub floor. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Andrew, and while I didn't take a physical measurement of the inside headroom, it was plenty for anyone who is tall. Within reason of course. The upcoming video will be the forest camp.

There is always a compromise. I'll take the weight knowing I have a bombproof shelter that will keep me safe in all weather conditions. Thanks for watching.

I agree with you. I may even get this tent at some point. I'm just a smidge surprised at the weight. I guess I just want a fantasy tent that's as strong as this one, and light too .....which doesn't exist. @@BrokenVikingOutdoors

It's always a good idea to distribute the weight between the person sharing the tent, so that in itself halves the weight. ​@citizenwolf8720

Cheers mate. Much appreciated.

Some people whinge about weights down to the point of ridiculous. Personally I've had to carry a lot of weight in my career, so anything under 100lbs is a bonus.

Some people = Ultra light fanatics. I'll take safety any day.

@@Shinykip I'm with you there.

Thanks for watching.

Nortent only make the New Vern 1 in Polycotton.
