Wild Weather Camping | Wind & Rain | MSR Hubba NX1 | 2021

On this one I headed up to a local haunt which I hadn't camped on for over 12 month , the weather decided who's boss on this one .
I was tent bound more or less right after pitching up and the wind and rain just got steadily worse , I sat it out till morning before getting packed up and escaping the madness.
The annoying thing as I sit here uploading this video the sunset and weather is perfect right now , I simply chose the wrong night !

so you pitch at tent on top of a large hill . knowing a storm was coming , then you moan about how blowy it was and heavy rain as well . common sense tells you pitch else where .

[@BorderRambler]

Who mentioned a storm , simple answer don’t watch it then …. ⛺️👍

[@anndeefam]

he said in the video that the wind and rain hadn't been forecast.

Despite the wind and rain, its so peaceful, no sound of traffic or ignorant drunks shouting and fighting, and I love the sound of rain on the tent and the wind. Great experience great video.

No traffic sounds but the odd aircraft flyby from the nearby spadeadam base .

Always valuable to have the realities of camping in grim conditions up on KZbin too Dave - and to get reassurance from your calm and unflappable (unlike the tent!) manner safely digging in until dawn. Still managed some ace shots all the same. Thanks for posting and better luck next time! Cheers. Rich 👍

Wow, perfect...just enjoy so much exploring and adventuring in more rough and wilderness areas for sure! Just not as likely to run into a whole lot of people...and the few that one may encounter are of such like minds that they will allow everyone their space and peace! Excellent! Thanks so much and have yourself a wonderful weekend! Bruce and Otis

Just bought the NX so nice to see how it performs in a bit of wind. The beauty of bad weather is it makes sure your admin is upto date or you’ll suffer.

I own a few tents but I do love the simplicity and ease of use of the NX , and yes not really a mountain tent but can handle a bit of rough weather . If you keep it organised then life will fine atb Dave

@@BorderRambler it’s for the pennine way which I start in March.

[@BorderRambler]

It will serve you well , don’t know about you but I always pack the tent separate to the poles . I find the tent folds down to nothing in a dry sack and the poles in a side pocket . Not long till march so enjoy the PW trip ⛺️👍

Brilliant night mate it’s good to test the kit we rely on so much. I had a nightmare last week on Glaramara strong wind snapped my main tie out and had to bug out to a campsite at 6pm no fun. Lucky I always leave a spare tent in the car. Pitched in the dark.

Oh, so this is British weather! Class!

[@robpinter5431]

There is one think I pack and hope I never need, is my Snugpac SF bivvy bag, for the odd occasion when your main shelter may fail in severe storms, it may save your life. I did use it one a few winters ago where the wind was so strong it would suck the warmth out of the Vango Blade tent, I had to use the bivvy bag to keep the warmth in the down bag. This was in Australia in the snowy mountains at around 1600 meters.

[@BorderRambler]

I normally pack my tyvek bivi but on this occasion I didn’t , it would have come in handy as it was a bit damp in the morning due to the conditions. Thanks for watching atb Dave

[@alvindimes4729]

Mind if you do this, you need to make sure you have quality gear, and the tent is securely pitched, just saying, but of course you fellow veterans know this.

[@BorderRambler]

Yes very correct nothing worse than sitting freezing cold in an inadequate bag etc , which I have in the past until I found the gear that worked for me ⛺️👍

[@BorderRambler]

It sure was wild Chris , the not so glamorous side of wildcamping . And yes shifts dictate when I can get out so just take what you are given . That little tripod is a very old Slik alloy tripod which I put a quick release ball head on , does the job nicely and is very light. TFW atb Dave

Anyone poser who says they love camping in that kind of weather has never camped in that kind of weather. Literally impossible to catch a single minute's sleep. Then of course in addition to you and all of your shit being soaking wet, you've got to pack everything up while trying to keep it from being blown a 100 miles away. The worst weather I've been caught in was while hiking along the Platte river in Nebraska while following the Lewis/Clark route. Hit by 80 mph wind/rain in the middle of the night during a freak summer storm. And no, I didn't love it.

Good honest content… I came to this for the msr tent looking for how it withstood the conditions, looks like not so well, you mention not the best choice of tent? May I ask what you would have chosen for these conditions, the msr looks great but specs aren’t great but it nice and light… I’m looking for a tent by the way so genuine question. 😊

[@BorderRambler]

Thanks for commenting , MSR although is a great tent does flap a lot in wind . So if I knew it was going to be that windy I would have used my Hilleberg akto . But I have since sold this tent as I felt it was too low for me . So I purchased a Helm Compact 1 at 1/4 of the price of the hilly and use this for expected poor weather camps .
