@@HandoCalrision-k2f too busy expending all our energy wading through snow drifts 🤣

It was still plentiful but not as bad as it has been, there wasn’t any rain so I think the seems on my tent are causing the excessive condensation, thanks for watching 👌

Aye pubs still closed but it’s supposed to opening back up at some point, but I think we’d have run out of steam if we bothered with the others and given up on life 🤣 I’ll take a look buddy, thanks for watching 👌

There isn’t an extra guy line but it could be the line that goes underneath the tent

@LeoManAndMountain it's difficult to put back this guy line ? I try to find a picture but is hard thank

@@entrelepingetlepong3746 I’ll have a look tomorrow when I put it up and see where it goes

@@LeoManAndMountain thx take some picture if u have time, maybe like that I will send u my email just for get a idea

So there are lines that run across the bottom of the tent to hold its shape, I wasn’t able to get pictures because they were buried in snow…. Hope this helps

Cheers, and thanks for watching 👌

I started from the quernsmore car park up to Clougha pike (trig) over grit fell up to wards stone and back down the shooting/farm track and on the way down that route there’s a few things to see like the three chairs, it’s not a short walk but quite interesting but this time of year very wet I’d take gaiters and go when it’s frozen the more chance the bogs will be frozen over the better, hope you enjoy!

@LeoManAndMountain Thanks for the advice👍😁

Hahaha yeah the fish part was an odd one 🤣 to be fair hickory’s was great at the start especially the platter but it’s slipped a bit, as is my luck with these places 🤣 thanks for watching buddy 👌

I don’t weigh my bag to be fair, but I’ll put it this way, I don’t go for the ultra light way of camping 🤣 and it’s not mega steep getting up there it’s fairly gentle as ascents go in the lakes, thanks for watching 👌

@LeoManAndMountain cheers for your reply mate, I was doing small water tomorrow night but the forecast has made us stay a little closer to the car 😆👍

It’s not that far from the car park to be fair…

@LeoManAndMountain with all the snow forecast sat night we don't want to get stuck in the carpark so we playing it safe instead but me and my pal will still be out 👍

Yeah to be fair it is secluded 🤣

I think thats what I was looking for 🤣

I’ve done the old hand warmer in a sock trick before now, I’m going to get one of those upside down remote canister set ups

Aye I do have a set but I didn’t bring it at the time so I just took it out of the van 🤣

I know but I’ve never really cared about saving weight too much, if I was going up somewhere a bit more difficult then I would just switch to a dehydrated meal, thanks for watching 👍

I know I figured that out later 🤣 still worked though 😅

Aye you should see my Welsh pronunciations, even better 😂 glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 👌

Aye I definitely can’t deny that, thanks for watching 👍

Yeah good fun definitely

@@thejuansamir1463 that’s an excellent price and you probably won’t have some of the issues I’ve had if it’s new, and to answer your question at the price point it’s probably one of the best

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 👍

No need to apologise, we all learn, I think when it comes to the condensation there is obviously multiple factors and you are correct opening the vents does help and I think that part of my issues come from the seams not being sealed, in fact I think that is what is causing most of my issue with it because the first camp which was dry it wasn’t terrible. I have cooked inside my other tents and I don’t tend to have a problem with condensation, yes there is some on the outer fly but I can accept that, but the inner tent has always remained dry. I also think that the material has a part to play in the condensation but it isn’t a massive deal breaker but on multi day hikes it may cause an issue. As for pitching I think the bent pole is what is causing the deformation mostly and as I said I’ll be buying another set of poles to use as my normal use and use the bent ones to double up in poor conditions. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching 👌

Cheers 👌 and thanks for watching 👍

Yeah it’s absolutely epic but some of the drone shots can certainly give you a feel, thanks for watching 👌

I haven't had much problems in the way of condensation in the Helm 2, I would say from my experience is one of the best for not condensation. And it was a bit of a steal I must admit, I couldn't turn it down when I saw it, Thanks for watching

That’s a good shout on thicker poles on the Cloud peak, the hood does make a racket in the wind though 😂 but I was seriously impressed with the MT500 after all the use I’ve had with it I can’t fault it’s performance, thanks for watching 👌

When you're looking at spending that kind of money, I must admit it's important to absolutely make sure you're not going to have buyers remorse and I would probably have a little bit of it if I'd have spent £600-700 on buying it. Thanks for watching!

I guess this is the problem with reviews though isn’t it? I’ve some niggles with mine but none that are mentioned here. I’ve used mine in all weathers, never had a drop of condensation 🤷 Paid £490 for mine, 4 season, 2kg ( 2.4 if you double pole) Cracking tents tbh, I think Hilleberg would be the only upgrade.

I’ve a feeling my problems stem from the seams, I will be seam sealing and hopefully it cuts down the moisture massively

@@LeoManAndMountain yeah it’s odd. You shouldn’t need to seam seal it though mate tbh.

Aye but the only thing I can think is that after a while the seams may not be as tight from being out in adverse weather after a while, don’t get me wrong I like the tent but just so far it’s not been great so hopefully after a bit of seam sealing it won’t be as bad 😅

I agree opening the vents would decrease the condensation and it's probably me being a bit soft, and I'll be opening them next time, my gripe with the rear vent (wind direction side) is if its windy and raining it's going to drive that rain into the tent through the outer vent which in sunny old England is quite common, enjoy the videos!

Yes definitely a bargain! and a mesh inner probably would be better but the solid inner is a winner when it come to cutting down on the breeze. I've also looked at the Robens it looks a decent size aswell, Thanks for watching!

Yes that’s what it comes down to really, it’s the safest answer to the question and you can’t really argue against it, Hilleberg are the best in this sort of field but I can’t say a budget/mid range tent wouldn’t compete in all but extreme conditions 🤷‍♂️ but this is the age old wild camping argument 🤣 thanks for watching 👌

Aye but still Highlands

Cheers buddy, yeah it is a little more impressive but still love that Fair Snape 🤣

Cheers mate 👌 thanks for watching

Aye it was up there with the greats, thanks for watching 👌

Yeah it’s an epic mountain, yeah we’ve recovered now but we were battered by it, thanks for watching! 👍

Yeah the fell didn’t want us there but thankfully that wind disappeared 🤣 thanks for watching and thanks for the sub 👌

🤣 fortunately for the sheep I’m not Welsh, so there was no mutton shaking

@@missyb5195 no I can’t say I have covered that route, I would imagine the terrain wouldn’t be easy if there isn’t any clear paths, but I’d be purely speculating having not done it

No worries cheers. People who know that route have been using it for years, but I guess i’l have to challenge myself solo and see how it goes :)

@ I’m sure you’ll be fine, enjoy! And good luck on the charity hike 👌

It was indeed! Thanks for watching 👌

Hawethornthwaite fell top, it was an absolute trek to get to from chipping but there are far better ways up, enjoy it if you do it and be careful of the bogs 🤣

@LeoManAndMountain it's not on the Lancashire trig list

Is it in Lancashire do you know I'm hoping it's not cos it looks an arse to get too lol 😆

@@trigmonkey_Lancashire yes it is in Lancashire it’s part of the Lancaster district area

@LeoManAndMountain it seams before 1974 it was in Yorkshire so the 101 trig point book may have been written before this If it's not in the book I ain't going lol Sounds like an absolute bog fest 😂😂😂

I’ve got to be honest, not good, so far with the use it has definitely got a condensation problem, but on the other hand I haven’t opened the vents yet. Thanks for watching 👌

🤣😂🤣 it’s just something I’m not willing to do, it seems like I will have to keep enduring the elements 😅 thanks for watching

Fortunately we didn’t get mauled by any white cats of the Pennines 🤣

Aye was a bit and the tent performed decently which was good, thanks for watching 👌

Yeah, I got told off by Alan the Metal man, I now know it’s pronounced Chee-viot 🤣

@@LeoManAndMountain ahahaha , be happy

It’s 64cm wide, and 196cm long which I’ve found to be pretty excessive for myself length wise but the width is great if you turn in your sleep like I tend to do, you can get the regular wide which is the same width but is 183cm so unless your a professional basketball player is what I would recommend also it would fit in tents a lot easier. Thanks for watching 👌

@@LeoManAndMountain Aye, the Exped is long, but the width is needed, I have a Helm 2 as well so it just squeezes in there... Have you ever tried the preppers MRE £3? Great vid by the way.

I’ve done the review but it won’t be out for a few weeks, but yeah, condensation is a issue

Aye just a bit but 30-40mph winds are pretty unforgiving 🤣

@@trigmonkey_Lancashire probably just over a mile from Tarnbrook you follow the track then take a right along the fence line

Yeah it’s a great little fell and the views aren’t bad either, thanks for watching 👌

Cheers mate, yeah it was and I’m now planning the next challenge 😅
