Wrongly pitched. The cross bar sits on top of the rest of the structure facing UP. The tent is not properly pitched.

At 6:05, one could have put the rucksack on its side along the lower edge of the tent, thus relieving the mesh from the stress, and repairing the tent better from wind and dust entering from below the rain fly. Thanks for the genuine review, I am fed up with hidden advertisements.

great comparison.. you do get around.. Hawaii then Iceland.. you've demonstrated that it's not suitable in strong windy environments .. something I found out myself in mine .. it's ok in warmer environments.. my only gripe is the mess is too fine .. which is common to other tents .. I mean it's too fine to allow a breeze in humid conditions .. as you said the mesh blocks the wind to a large extent as shown by your hair flying around with the inner tent open compared to closed I'm on the hunt for a light weight 4 season tent.. Preferably free standing for those times one's in sandy soils I look forward to your next trip

To dry the outer fly, I prefer to take it of completely, hold it above the head and walk/stand with it 2-3 Minutes in the wind.

In the UK I'd never consider buying a tent that can't be easily pitched fly first, and nor should you unless of course you like being wet.

I enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing. I plan to do this route from Frankfurt Airport to Mainz and on ward toward Basel and then connect to Donaueschingen to Vieanna, via Eurovelo 6. Do you mind sharing this route? i have a route from Kamoot but i dont know how good the path is until i ride on it. But your route detour seemed to avoid alot of soft dirt road, which i would prefer. I plan to do this in July of 2023.

The middle curved pole needs to go above the main cross pole. I’m not sure, but it looked like you might have put it under the main cross pole. Incorrect position of that short middle pole will affect the structural integrity of the tent.

@@pimpshark Meanwhile I got the MSR Elixir and I specifically checked the set-up manual, whether the red pole should go over the silver pole on the crossing point, but there is no such instruction. Maybe it doesn't matter with the Elixir. I would have to check the set-up manual of the Hubba NX, but I don't remember if the position of the middle pole was specified 🤔Nevetheless, I see the sense as why to place it above the main cross pole.

@Alpintiger2 жыл бұрын
Honestly, I don't remember if the outer tent was touching the inner tent in that particulare scene, when the wind blew against it. Two things I dare say: 1) at normal set-up, the outer and inner wall do not touch, 2) I asume, it is a question of how "strong" a wind is blowing, before any tent will collapse. I don't remember having any issues with this tent in the kind of weathers shown in this video. I hope this information helps you.

Thanks for reminding me of this video clip. I haven't watched it in a while. I was watching it again, to see which paper maps you meant. It was such a beautifull trip. You mean the paper map, which can be seen in the picnic scene with the cat, right? It is "Donau-Radweg 2, Passau - Wien". It is from Publicpress (www.publicpress.de). The map is waterproof and leporello fold. I still love maps, despite also using gps. My Garmin is the Edge Touring. I bought it 2016. I still use it on all my bicycle tours. I am surprised, that, after 6 years, the in-built battery still lasts an average day tour. Only on one of the tours I did last year I had to give the Garmin a little extra charge from a power bank. Most of the recorded gps tracks I am posting on Komoot: www.komoot.de/tour/258891209?ref=wtd

Wrong setup of the tent !!!!! The short "top cross pole" should be on top, needs to be flipped around to be the highest pole. that greatly increases stability.
@EDWARDKILE2 жыл бұрын
Hi, one needs to have a fire if they are going to use a wool blanket to keep warm. You also need to make a diamond out of the blanket and then roll and tuck it around your body which creates extra layers, keeping you nice and toasty. Sleeping bags were made for when you don't have a fire or can't have a fire because you are above the tree line and there is no wood. Sleeping bags are good for Backpacker's and wool blankets are good for Bushcrafters.

Excellent preview. I am considering this tent so it was good to see you it in testing conditions,and good to see you inside as it shows the room inside and inside the vestibule. I live in the uk so how it handles tougher weather is important. Also I prefer a tent with more ventilation. Its obviously a few years since you did this review, so how did it perform overall in that time,and do you still use it ? Thanks, Michael

As it is an expensive piece of gear I handled it carefully and it held up well. Yes, the video is a few years old. I haven't been camping the last two years. Actually, I haven't been traveling much those last two years 😄. With a pandemic going on and such things. I'd love to do some bicycle touring next summer and do camping again. Hopefully then my little tent will see some daylight, rather than being shut away in the gear box.

Zu Island. Ich habe mir die Kleidung angesehen, die Du im Zelt an hattest. Ich hatte bei meiner Radreise in Island das Vergnügen einen Tag und Nacht bei 0 Grad in einem robusteren Zelt (Exped Venus II Extreme) verbringen zu müssen. Ich musste nicht mit voller Montur in den Schlafsack. Kann es sein, dass man in kalten Regionen, das gesparte Zeltgewicht in Klamotten mitnehmen muss?
@Alpintiger3 жыл бұрын
Das Zelt spielt keine Rolle. Der richtige Schlafsack und die Isomatte machen bei Kälte den ganz großen Unterschied. Wir haben schon Tarps zum Wintercamping benutzt oder gleich ganz in der selbstgebauten Schneehöhle übernachtet (kannst Dir mein Video "Building a Quinzee" anschauen kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3nSkmCsrtireaM ). Mit einem fetten Winterschlafsack kein Problem. Für den Island Trip hatte ich mich bewusst für den leichteren und kleineren Schlafsack entschieden und eingeplant, ein paar Klamotten mehr anzuziehen, falls es kälter wird. So bin ich flexibler. Einen Schlafsack kann ich nur als Schlafsack benutzten - eine leichte Daunenjacke kann ich auch tagsüber mal anziehen, oder eben Nachts im Schlafsack, um ein paar extra Wärmegrad zu gewinnen. Das war in Island nur in einer einzigen Nacht notwendig geworden.
