Proper love this guy, none of that bullshit you get from some of the U.S hiker or U.K wildcamping scene. Take this guy's word over any of them.

This is a very good review that highlights some of the sacrifices that a user has to make to have an ultralight tent. Where I live we can go months without rain and wind is pretty predictable so a tent like the Tiger Wall can be a great choice. It can also be very warm, even at higher altitude, so the more mesh the better. One thing I'd like to mention is that I camp on sandstone sometimes and it is like sand paper. It will rub a hole through even a heavy backpacking tent floor eventually, so I prefer a lighter tent floor with a footprint that I can replace easily. I use a SOL brand emergency blanket for the footprint because they are cheap and relatively durable. Great video Matti.

Thanks! That’s a really good explanation why a thin floor + ground sheet is a good combination for you!!! That really makes sense. /Matti

@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Hi! Great video! How tall are you? My height is 186 centimeters, will I be comfortable in it in length? How long will the mat fit in it? Thank you

@@Atlantis109 hey, i have this exact tent and i am 187 cm. i was sleeping there even with another person and my mat is 196 and 7 centimeters. There is still some room left. in terms of room this is a great tent, especially when youre alone. If you're together with another person it still fits but you have to like each other :)

regarding pegs: isnt the titanium long (20 cm +) version the best all aroung option? you can hammer them in with a rock, if you put them in deep they are even rather stable in soft ground, ciao from germany

I bought that tent from REI used, the zipper had come apart. I was able to get it back together but that zipper is a known weakpoint on the Tigerwall, so be careful opening and closing it. I rubbed candlewax along the teeth to lubricate it and it works better.

@azclaimjumper 5 ай бұрын

Excellent review,. You covered all the points. I, for one, want my tent pegs to stay in the round all night so I normally put a heavy rock on top of each peg. Never have I had to get out of my tent at night to re stake a peg that has pulled out of the ground. Warm Regards from far away Reno, Nevada.

This and cupper spur was two of the tents I looked at when i bought my tent….I went with the opposite a 4kg heavy HB Staika since I bring my kids and they want the ”secure” feeling of ”closing the door”. Also I will use the tent for kayak so I need a self supporting tent and weight is not an issue. First night in the tent last night, temperature drop from 24->17 degrees and rain but no wind so we got rather much condensation on the inside of the outer tent but nothing on the inner tent. But I was happy for getting the HB and not the BA.

@atzedevries9563 5 ай бұрын

I tried this tent but it is not long enough for me (which is the case for most lightweight tents). I am 196cm and use a neoair xterm pad which is about 6cm thick. Ended up buying the long version of the copper spur and that works really well.

Thank you for the review! I had already bought the Tiger Wall UL3 for me and my girlfriend before and we intend to hike the Massive Trail in Norway next Summer. Are you really recommending me not to do that and to buy another one? By the way - I use own stakes for the fly and the inner tent shares the stakes with the footprint. Like that I have a proper separation.

I guess a big problem also is when one try to put up the tent when it rains. The inner tent must be built before the outer tent. On my Hilleberg the poles is on the outside of the outer tent. Because of that I can build the outer tent to get shelter and still have a dry inner tent. Thanks for the reviews from a Skåning.

@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA 5 ай бұрын

You can pitch the flyer and the floor if you want. That’s not a problem. The big problem comes when you want to make this in combination with heavy wind… You can see that if you check the review of Big Agnes Copper Spur at our channel. 😃 /Matti

With better pegs and longer lines, etc, then the weight will not be very much lighter than the Rogen. I would rather carry 0,5 kg extra and have a tent I can rely on. 😉

How much is Rogen? For Scandinavia you are probably totally right! /Matti

@AlveHenricson 5 ай бұрын

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Minimum weight is 1.9 kg without spare rod and extras. 2.2 kg with everything. But then there is a 3 person Rogen weighing 2.2 kg stripped down. I use Enan for extreme light trips, Unna for solo winter trips and Rogen 2 for solo summer trips. Air flow is important in summer, something Rogen can provide even when raining, I just leave the entrances closed half way even in rain.

I have this tent in the ultralight dynema version. I cut those little triangles so I could close the two zippers together. I sent the tent to a repair place to add an upper zipper on the interior so I could look out. On my version the whole interior is thin solid fabric. I had the repair people add mesh to the upper door so I could see out at all in good weather. I stake the back corner fly on a separate stake from the inner. After all this the tent is functional and very light. I took it on the first part of the Kungsleden. The tent was not adequate for the wind. I had to use trekking poles to support it under the fly. There are not adequate upper level tie outs. Strings tied to the roll up loops just ripped off. The trekking pole handle ripped through the fly so I had to tape it during the night. Nonetheless I stayed dry more or less. Most other people in heavier tents bailed out to the warming hut. You can be creative to make an ultralight tent work but you may destroy the tent in the process. I have given up on the tiger wall except under very mild conditions and when is mildness guaranteed? I’m still looking for the perfect tent that is lightweight…

Good vid Matti. Dog gone skeeters carry you off. All good points on tent. The zipper set up sucks. Eat alive when you need to run out and pee. Bad very bad. No vents in roof, unheard of. Not for me. Hey take care. Bring dog next time too many bears. Later from Kentucky USA

@johncramer9564 Ай бұрын

I disagree that they've designed a "really good interior". Big Agnes tapers the tent so the foot area is more narrow thus making it impossible to fit two wide pads in the 2 person tent. Don't fall for this tapering trick they do to save a few grams. Big Agnes two person tents are really just 1P+ and not true 2P size. Instead, look for a tent that has 50 inch or greater width at both head and foot such as Durston, or Mountain Hardwear. Also, all the reviews say that the zippers are a problem on this and the Copper Spur tents. They easily get stuck and are a problem to zip or unzip with one hand. When I understood all of these problems with the Big Agnes tents I returned mine back to REI.
