@@kruz2727ify I’m looking at travelling through Norway, either this or next year, probably meander over a few weeks and just take time for some wild camping and back to nature! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.. it’s very much a warmer weather tent but good for that. One of the tents I have for colder weather, certainly UK climate, is the Robens Buck Creek2 which I rate highly although now discontinued…very quick erecting with exoskeleton frame and solid inner! Also have. Robens Voyager 2ex which is also a fantastic UK winter tent but a bit big on pack size for me. All the best 👍🏻

I've considered a Robins due to the price point vs. quality received. Not so popular over here. But, known in certain circles. My winter go-to has been Helsport. Little hefty but has stood up to many storms. The Helsport has buckled down and touched my chest and nose on two occasions with no pole or material fatigue. The Cloud up is a great all-around tent in general because of price . It's a well made tent with no complaints. Hope you enjoy your visit to Norge. Bring your alcohol stove as a suggestion. Rød Sprit / denatured alcohol is avaliable at every gas station, sports shop, and grocerie store in Norway. Makes things much easier for you. Cheers, and subscribed.

@@kruz2727ify interesting about the Robens, to be fair I don’t like paying above about £400 for a tent but never say never! I also had the Naturehike Cloud up2 (standard) out in a full blown storm where the tent buckled all night like your experience but like yours no damage, which for a cheap tent was amazing… it was so bad all electric cables in the area were down and the owners of the pub campsite I was stopping at gave me a key to the pub in case I had to abandon through the night!!! Thanks for the tip on alcohol stoves, I have the Trangia but only use gas adapter, however I do intend trying alcohol out soon now I gave an incentive… many thanks and any other tips grateful accepted 👍🏻

@@NewVictorChannel both are excellent value for money, amazing fuel economy and proper fun ride! The NX is a good evolvement of the 500X and a worthy successor.. Only issue I’ve had is using an aftermarket exhaust from the 500x on the NX and that’s thrown up an emissions warning light so currently back to the oem Honda one for the NX.. I’m sure a NX specific aftermarket will be there for summer 😃

@@Blizbor_moto indeed I did, the emission warning light has been coming on and staying on.. had the 02 sensor changed but didn’t solve the issue and dealership have been at a loss for a fix.. ultimately removed aftermarket and fitted the Honda exhaust.. i have had the light come on once with Honda exhaust fitted but did go off on its own and so far hasn’t come back on!

@@wimbraber944good shout out 👍🏻

@@DaveDayve that’s a fair point! Probably due to me having the previous 500x with RR suspension over 4 years it’s just become normality.. sometime over next few weeks I’ll do a video outlining those points, but in short it makes the road riding much more precise, absorbing irregularities in the road surfaces better, allows for much improved handling, particularly when load carrying, along with less bottoming out…. It makes a big difference off road with slight increase in ground clearance and like the road use it doesn’t bottom out as much with better handling on rougher ground, although still having limitations with a 19” front wheel and fundamentally being a bike designed predominantly for road use. The standard NX suspension is improved on the 500X and for general road riding i think most would find it good enough and any suspension upgrades would only be worth it if keeping longer term.. hope that gives a brief update until I get a video done 👍🏻

@thecampingbiker791 Perfic. Tks

@@DaveDayve yes it does, not by much but feels higher than it actually has been raised, enough that RR supply a longer side stand to replace oem one.. lifts by about 2/3cm

Thanks for the info, bike is riding fine but even with stock exhaust light still coming on…right pain in the backside to be honest but like the idea of the spacer!

@ it should work,I have been reading that having a freer exhaust sends bigger exhaust pulses through that the sensor cannot read so just throws the light,it doesn’t know if something is wrong just that it cannot read properly to say all is right,spacing the sensor back out of the flow should sort the problem as it does with a car.
