Fall Camping & First Impressions Of The Tentipi Olivin 2

[@NorwegianWoods]

Hello my friends. Here is a video about a new tent I got. Hope you like it :) - Martin

[@sosteve9113]

NorwegianWoods Hey Martin,great tent looks a lot of space Beter luck next time fishing

[@NorwegianWoods]

I hope to try out some ice fishing this winter. Long time since I did that. The tent looks really promising so far. Thanks a lot for stopping by - Martin

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks :) - Martin

[@olepetersen8101]

Very nice and calm video... I have had this tipi since it came out and it’s the best tent for two persons all seasons... extremely well made and very wind stable in storms in the mountains ... Comes highly recommended ... Best Ole from Denmark

[@olepetersen8101]

And a quick tip ... I use the length of the pole to measure out the six pegs positions... very easy ... Best Ole

[@steinwaygoat]

Lovely Olivin! What a clever set-up for that top vent. Looking forward to your experiences. Jules

[@NorwegianWoods]

So am I :) Thanks for stopping by - Martin

[@rockk4six]

Thank you again for the informative camping video...

[@NorwegianWoods]

You are very welcome my friend :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@mustafading]

Great videos, great photography and a more "laid back" approach to your videos which I like alot. Well done. Easy viewing and informative ;)

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you for the kind words :) - Martin

InstaBlaster.

[@jp61370]

Really enjoyed your video,very interesting descriptions of the tent. The place were you pitched your tent by the lake looks amazing. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Jean-Pierre

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks. I will go back to that lake and do some more fishing soon :) - Martin

[@sapper12b84]

Very refreshing to see these kind of reviews. We Everyday Joes and Janes really appreciate them!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Glad you like the video. I think this is more of a first impressions video than a review though. Thanks a lot for watching - Martin

[@nickhulley4350]

Superb video, thank you - you mention the ability of your tent manufacturer to organise a local repair for you, here in the UK, we seem gradually to have lost all those mending/repair shops we used to have, exactly as you say, due to the throw-away attitudes of most Western manufacturers; I remember about 15 years ago having worn away the heel area inside my boot, I took it to an old fashioned local cobbler (shoe repairer) and he fixed it so well, using some padding and his unique sewing skills, the boots lasted me another five years (of almost daily use). We seem to have allowed all these important skills to disappear, no one is being shown how to continue and so when the old guys pass-away, so do all their years of skill and most of the tools of their trade end up as antiques in other folks homes who don't even know how to use them - shame. I think what you have said is so important, thanks again.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for stopping by Nick. I think it will be interesting to see if these old crafts gets popular again in the future. It looks like at least some people and companies appreciate these traditions. If there continues to be a market, I think at least some will keep going. - Martin

[@fliysky]

Thanks for another great video martin.

[@NorwegianWoods]

You are very welcome my friend :) Thanks a lot for watching - Martin

[@haraldthi]

Good to see you again, and I really like your videos. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you for stopping by Harald. I have more videos on the way :) - Martin

[@boypazaway5833]

Great Review... I LOVE YOUR BACKPACK MAN.....Cool! The location is majestically beautiful..... Please continue your passion... w/ tons of RESPECT!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks my friend. I like the backpack a lot. It is a Bergans Trollhetta 95 :) More videos are coming soon - Martin

[@Tseimz]

Really good presentation! Gave me lots of information about this product. Enjoy your trips in woods!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks a lot for watching :) - Martin

[@STWILDERNESSADVENTURES]

Very nice video and review of the tent. Thank you! I am waiting your new video!!!

[@lorenzoutdoor1066]

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos! Nice Nature were you are hiking!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you for the kind words my friend :) - Martin

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Your videos are 'rare but choice!' Your presentation of each of your subjects is 'top class' KZbin video work, with particular excellence in script and in videography. A 'whole bunch of us' around the world have missed your videos this summer. Your video review of this tent was very high quality for detail and for honesty. I never had great luck in the USA woods in pitching a floored tent on a high-grass site. But, bush crafters never carry something to trim high grass. My wife and I have always liked floored tents for 'wrap around' security from weather and from insects and whatever. The center pole concept...well, a camping couple can not really get warm with a pole separating them...but the setup is quick and simple. Shelter when it is cold, windy and wet is maybe more important than 'snuggles.' A bunch of us viewers look forward to your continued experience with this tent.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you for the kind words. I will be using this tent on future trips/videos for sure. I guess the center pole is good when camping with a friend, not so much when camping with your wife... It seems really good so far :) More videos are coming soon - Martin

[@johnwessinger7768]

I was just thinking about your videos last week and was wandering and hoping to see a new one soon. So thanks man! always love you videos!!!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Glad you like my stuff. I have more videos on the way. I do want to make more videos this year than I managed to do last year. Thanks a lot for watching - Martin

[@RobFarrell17]

Good to see you again. Love your channel! Michigan, USA

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks you my friend :) - Martin

[@adammartinez4184]

This is a good video about that tent nice keep the videos coming can't wait for the next video.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for stopping by. More videos are coming :) - Martin

[@richardthomas1]

Hello from Wales, UK. Great stuff, Martin.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks :) - Martin

[@MarkHirstRaftGuideTraining]

Hi I have wanted an Olivin for a while. Your video helped my final decision. Just like you I headed straight out this weekend without testing on the lawn first. I an now watching your video again for top tips. Before I head out onto the lawn. Many thanks for a great video

[@zxzxJoKeRThEiFzxzx]

Your videos are so soothing and relaxing, gonna boil up a nice tea and watch your vid

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for the kind words :) - Martin

[@camillawiking]

16:47 MUMS filibabba! What a wonderful life you have there!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks my friend :) - Martin

[@davidsoderberg8726]

Good information on the Tentipi, thank you for an honest evaluation!

[@NorwegianWoods]

You are very welcome David :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@FYA808]

Great Video! Looks like a really good setup. I will have to check out the Tentipi site. Thanks for sharing!

[@NorwegianWoods]

They make some good quality tents. Most of the other models are pretty big. Thanks a lot for stopping by - Martin

[@camillawiking]

11:39 LOVE the scenery! wow!

[@NorwegianWoods]

It was a really nice spot. Now that the roads that leads into this area is getting ice and snow free I hope to go back there and do more camping :) - Martin

[@WhatsUpWithSheila]

Nice tent! And of course another great video & sweaters 😊👍

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks my friend :) - Martin

[@dserp3907]

Really enjoyed this video! I have been looking at Tentipi for a while now and a quality review like yours really is wonderful to see! Thanks to Tentipi for getting one to you for this review! Now I want one!!!

[@NorwegianWoods]

I enjoyed making it. Tentipi seems to be a good company. I like the Olivin a lot so far :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@PumpkinVillage]

Another good video and a nice review. Your videos keep getting better every time. Stay warm this winter and take care, Al

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks Al. I hope to get out in the woods and feel moderately cold a few times before spring catches on :) - Martin

[@mike_larsen6244]

Hi Martin. Great video again and this tent seems to be a really cool setup. - Mike

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks Mike. I like the tent a lot so far :) - Martin

[@wordwalker3]

Hello again. I enjoyed your video. It looks like they repaired and reinforced the stress point. It will be interested to see if any other of those stress points tear out in the future.

[@NorwegianWoods]

That is interesting for sure. I will let you know if I run into any problems in the future. The seams and materials looks a whole lot better than I have had on my previous tents so I do not think this will be an issue. Thanks for watching - Martin

[@colincampbell2153]

An excellent review. Planning to purchase this tent this summer. Many thanks!

[@nicksanders8562]

You do great instructive fun vids.tentipi looks nice.i may invest in 1 this year.good revue..lookin forward to more camps from you martin.uk bushcrafter..

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you my friend :) - Martin

[@smalandoutdoor3721]

Nice to see a video of the Olivin. There aren’t many of those around. I bought an Olivin Light (no inner) earlier this fall, and instantly loved it. For the first time I’ve stopped looking for other tents.

[@NorwegianWoods]

There are not many videos of the Olivin on KZbin. I do know a couple of people that have other models from Tentipi, but this is the first time I get to use one. I like it a lot so far :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@markwilson3941]

👋 hi again Martin, it’s really good to see you again ! Another super movie. Nice camera work once again and nice ⛺️ t

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks Mark :) - Martin

[@dadgad68]

Great video Martin. Thanks and cheers from Canada.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for watching :) - Martin

[@MakinHicks]

Great vid and greetings from Southern New England.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks :) - Martin

[@monkeyplayer72]

Great video as usual. Interesting to hear that it was a bad chanterrelle year over there. Here in Sweden, just south of Stockholm we had a fantastic year the for all kinds of mushrooms.

[@NorwegianWoods]

We actually got a pretty good season here as well in the end. It was just a lot later than usual :) Thanks a lot for watching - Martin

[@robintucker5943]

Nice tent! I have another model of the same manufacturer, very happy with it.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Hello Robin. I remember that we talked about these tents in Svartedalen. You are part of the reason why I contacted Tentipi :) Hope you are doing great - Martin

[@ryanc9830]

Great videos. Tell all my friends about you. Lots of love from Canada buddy

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks a lot my friend :) - Martin

[@edwardscotcher3763]

Great video. I think Tentipi were wise letting you have it for free to review. I’m considering buying a Safir 9 for my family and your video has helped me conclude that Tentipi isn’t a gimmick. Great job. Thanks!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Hello. I think Tentipi is the real deal. I know a few people that use their tents here in Norway and they seems to be happy with the quality. If I run into problems with it at some point I will let you know about it :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@bobthebob8817]

Another cool vid. Bit of a shame that the tent had a damage issue on the first trip but I look forwards to you testing it in future trips out. Hopefully you get a nice fish for lunch next time. Cheers.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks bob the bob. I was a bit bummed by the damage when it happened, but the tent still worked good. The repair looks good so I hope it will hold up good on future trips. Fresh fish for lunch would be awesome :) - Martin

[@jodyandmichelle1]

Great video! Hello from Tennessee!

[@BASSnBEER]

Jody Newell Tennessee here as well!!!

[@jpeters3053]

Bundle up Tennessee , going to be cold for a while!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Hello Tennessee :) Thanks for stopping by - Martin

[@iliapetrov5761]

This deserves a bunch more views, you are awesome, keep it up!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks a lot my friend :) More videos are coming soon - Martin

[@TheMendipman]

Happy New Year Martin! It's good to see you back - I've missed you. I have a small tipi tent at the moment that I am very happy with and have had a couple of others previously. I think these traditional designs have a great deal to recommend them. A useful tip is to have a small pad of some sort to put under the base of the pole to protect the floor and to stop the pole from sinking in soft ground. I think I may investigate Tentipi and I look forward to seeing your future videos on this model. Very best wishes, Noel

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for stopping by Noel. I do like the tent a lot so far. I will test out your tip. I do think it might be a challenge with the pole if the ground is really soft (or on snow). Tentipi has a lot of models. This is the smallest one. - Martin

[@davidjennings6937]

Always enjoy your videos.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks :) - Martin

[@jackmehoff2961]

Sweet looking tent, many thanks for the review. Shit happens during manufacturing, it`s how they handle an issue that counts. I`m looking forward to more videos of this tent. Awesome camp site you had there, sorry you didn`t get a trout but that`s why they call it fishing not catching. Thank You for sharing your video, and bringing us along. ATB

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for stopping by Jack. More videos with the tent is coming in the future :) - Martin

[@samc705]

Excellent video Martin, and such a beautiful little lavvu. It also looks like the customer service department of Tentipi are to be commended for "keeping it real" and sending you to a traditional sailmakers shop to have the repair done, as sailmaking and tenting have always went hand in hand through the use of canvas. Good job Tentipi !

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for stopping by. The repair shop is called salmaker here in Norway. I believe that translates as saddle maker or saddler in English. We used to have a lot of them around. Sadly most of them are gone, like most things of the old world. It looks like Tentipi has strong roots in the traditional crafts. I like the lavvo a lot so far :) - Martin

[@samc705]

Ahhh my mistake,thought that you said "sail maker" lol

[@christophermetz1550]

Excellent video! Your English is outstanding. Keep up the high video quality!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks a lot Christopher :) More videos are coming - Martin

[@ryan5637]

Det er en interessant telt. Takk for videoen din.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Bare hyggelig. Jeg har hatt lyst på dette teltet lenge. Det ser veldig bra ut så langt :) Takk for at du titter innom - Martin

[@grahamskilling2147]

An excellent really enjoyable video, was looking for a car camping tent and was considering a tipi tent, perhaps one of the companys larger ones - will go and look at your other videos. Thank you for creating this one, Ive really enjoyed it.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Nice tent and good job on the video!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you Tom :) - Martin

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

You're welcome.

[@DullahanBrewing]

Really missed your videos Martin so this is a nice start for 2018 thank you. I enjoyed this review and i love the tipi style over all the other ones. I am interested to see how it holds up to heavy rain or snow just generally bad conditions. I love the tent but at €900 i think it is out of most peoples budget,mine anyway for sure. That said keep the reviews on this coming as it is a very interesting design. Cheers and Happy New Year to you and yours from Eire.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Hello my friend. I realise that a tent like this may not be for everyone, but I like it a lot so far. I will bring it on more trips for sure :) Happy New Year to you as well - Martin

[@theg-man7868]

Thank you for the video. One of my favourite channels. Great looking tent. Could be my next purchase. Will you be trying it in the winter. All the best from Dorset in the UK.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you for stopping by. I will try it out more this winter. I hope for some real cold wether :) - Martin

[@WorldSurvivalist]

Brilliant video, sub your channel so looking forward to more and watching all the old ones

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks my friend :) - Martin

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

[@NorwegianWoods]

It looks really good so far :) Thanks for watching - Martin

Nice video again Martin, but what realy happend in 32:55 ?

[@samc705]

Sounded like some wind got under the fabric...OF MARTINS' SHORTS LOL!

[@NorwegianWoods]

If you wasn't there, you will never know :) Thanks for stopping by - Martin

[@torgeirhamsun5049]

Wonderful video!! What do you think; if i tried 2 tent-stakes in the Olivin ”inverted v pole” instead of the usual single one…would that work? Cheers!

[@NorwegianWoods]

I guess that could work. Maybe I will try it at some point. It could be a way to save some weight to just bring the outer tent and make stakes like that in the woods. Thanks for watching - Martin

[@peterv5342]

Love the tent

[@hermit6208]

Hey, welcome back. I've missed your calm voice. Had a fire-lighting fail in the woods today. Damp fatwood, and could not find a replacement material. Now I can watch someone who knows what he is doing!!! When you were showing the ventilation top from the outside, it reminded me of the sorting hat in the Harry Potter film. Griffendor!!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for stopping by Ray. This is not the easiest time of the year to make fires in the woods. At least, the ventilation top doesn't tell me what side of the tent to sleep :) - Martin

[@80chisco]

So i watch all the video, i need one of this tents!!

[@NorwegianWoods]

I do like the tent a lot so far :) Thanks for watching the whole thing - Martin

[@BushcraftSweden]

Nice tipi tent Martin, have to try it in snow :) Unfortunately as you know already this winter its gonna be close to impossible for me to get myself free for 4 or 5 days, but I could have an overnighter in the tresticklan area at the end of February or beginning of March if you up for it.. Nice to see you on a new vid, sorry I couldn't make it in Femundsmarka..Take care my friend// Mathieu

[@NorwegianWoods]

Hello Mathieu. I hope we can do the trip to Femundsmarka next winter. They had temperatures way below -30C and a lot of snow up there this winter. I just want to mention that I have quit the whole Facebook thing, so we will have to keep in touch here on KZbin from now on. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see you soon :) - Martin

[@martinmaartensson]

There was a lot of kantarells in south sweeden (Søderåsen) this year. :)

[@NorwegianWoods]

We had a late season this year. There was a lot more chanterelles after I made this video :) Thanks for stopping by - Martin

[@ocsy2006]

Great rev! I'll wait another one with tentipi saphir 9 cp from you( I want to buy one and a stove as well, from them)! i hope ...it will be very soon... many thanks !!!

[@richardcorfield9926]

I wonder with the ventilation when it's raining vertically. It looks like you'd need to close the top cap, bu that would compromise ventilation in a situation where condensation is more likely?

[@tomaspacheco6029]

Glad to see your back, just wondering where I could buy a sweater like yours, I really like the one your wearing in the beginning of this video. Take care.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks for stopping by. The sweater is made by my mother, and I have no plans of selling it :) They sell something similar here: www.sweater.no - Martin

[@steveblack6910]

I really like the look of this tent! Do they make a canvas version? I was thinking of getting the army poncho type in canvas with a wood stove in mind so might get one from Tentipi if they do. Great vids by the way, just a wee bit jealous of your back yard! Not quite so rugged here in the U.K unless you head up to the highlands! Cheers/skal!

[@NorwegianWoods]

Skål my friend! Some of their larger models are made of a canvas fabric. They are well suited for stoves. I feel blessed by the nature I have in my backyard :) Thanks a lot for stopping by - Martin

[@thatfriggingbathroom2656]

I know this is a 4 year old question but if anyone is watching in 2022: they do now make this very tent in canvas

[@MARCUSBUSHCRAFTOUTDOORSURVIVAL]

Great video😉Martin

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks :) - Martin

[@sinaalex7577]

Hey hey. I love this kind of video. It shows more about nature than many other clips. But I would be really interested, about the weight of your backpack. With all that stuff (huge tent, sleeping bag, axe, fishing rod, food pp) ist must be at least about 20 kg or even more. Kepp on with this kind of movies. You did great. I like them.

[@operationmickeymouseharold6780]

Your improving!! a lot less searching for words good job 👍 nice tent . I could imagine you could use a candle , oil or propane heater to heat the tent

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thanks my friend. I guess you are right. There are ways to put some heat into that tent in a safe way. Maybe I will look more into that in the future :) - Martin

[@wilbuzllf5057]

First of all, thanks for the great video! :) Second, been eyeing Tentipi for a while and been thinking of heating and finally found this, I haven't tried it but thought I'd share it as an alternative. www.liteoutdoors.com Looks light weight enough and small enough.

[@cristalclear5625]

Nice video, been interested in that type of tent and you provided good information about it - thanks!

[@NorwegianWoods]

You are very welcome :) Thanks for stopping by - Martin

[@terrymurphy8117]

good tent ,designed well but a little expensive for me. I check out their website and the one they sent you would cost me almost 2 weeks wages . I,ll be interested to see how you get along with it in the long run. great video please keep up the good work.

[@NorwegianWoods]

The tent seems to be really good. I do believe it will last me a long time. I had plans to take it on a couple of trips this winter, but it didn't work out as I planned. That had nothing to do with the tent. I will use it more this summer and next winter for sure :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@ctb2814]

I'm a new subscriber and love your review on the tent. Can you fill us in on what dangers you have concerning wild animals and do you carry and protection. Will be looking forward to you next video and thanks from Kentucky, USA

[@haraldthi]

Carl Brown There’s really not much. Martin said they have boars in the area, you have moose and adder.And you may run into an European brown bear or maybe even a wolf, but they’re both pretty shy. Common sense is plenty enough, and then you have your belt knife. And often an axe for the firewood The main problem is the cold and unpredictable weather.

[@yvindnilsen94]

the most dangerous animal you can meet is probably the scandinavian moose. we have less than 150 brown bears in Norway.. there is also an estimation of less than 60 wolfes here more or less around southeastern Norway.. so if you actually meet a bear or a wolf here, you should consider yourself lucky.. we have more than 30000 moose, and they can be a bit defensive

[@NorwegianWoods]

Hello Carl. I don't bring anything for protection when I go camping. We don't have many animal attacks here in Norway. In my area we have some Moose, wild bore and wolves but I am not all that worried about them. I think the biggest danger is ticks in the summer months. In the fall I sometimes bring a gun for hunting. More videos are on the way :) Thanks for watching - Martin

You could use a firebox with some kind of sparkprotection, think it would work great :D

[@NorwegianWoods]

I agree with you on that. Maybe I will try it at some point :) Thanks for watching - Martin

[@joeshepherd4990]

Hi what do you think of the tent now you have had more experience with it and have you been in any really bad weather were the tent got a good test.

[@ashleyhoward8926]

Good tent review, thanks. Where do you buy those sweaters? does it have a brand name? we used to get them here in UK, but I don't see them lately.

[@MarkHansen1990]

So I have always been interested in the tenttepe. I was wondering if the center pole gets in the way. All modern tent designs always eliminate the center pole. What are the advantages of a center pole.

[@haraldthi]

Mark Hansen The only one I can think of is weight. But that’s of course a major issue.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Hello Mark. That is an interesting question. I am no expert but I do think this design might have some advantages over some of the other "modern" designs. It makes for a really simple pitch. Just one pole without any sleeves or other fancy things. It also makes a sturdy structure if the pegs are staying in the ground. The shape of these tents will hold up pretty good in stone winds. I do not think the centre pole will be much of problem. The tent is intended as a 2 person shelter. That is one on each side of the pole. The pole is also located a fair distance from the door, so it will not be in the way when getting people and gear in and out of the tent. The traditional "Lavvo" design has 13 poles and no centre pole. This makes place for a fireplace in the middle of the tent. If you want to have a fire in one of these newer variants, you will have to put it a bit to the side. I do think 1 pole is better for backpacking than 13... This was my first overnighter with this tent and I will mention it if it becomes an issue in the future. Thanks for stopping by - Martin

[@skoog7091]

Can you use trekking poles in the middle to reduce weight?

[@NorwegianWoods]

I guess you could. The aluminium pole is not all that heavy. I usually don't use trekking poles so I guess the one I got with the tent will do. Maybe making one out of a stick would save some weight. Thanks for watching - Martin

[@otannenbaum4349]

Hi Martin, I really enjoy your videos! I really love your calm way of explaining everything. As it is one of my dreams to visit Norway, I was wondering if you can give me some useful tips on when it's the best time of the year to go there. I don't like it when it's hot or rainy. And I also don't want to get disturbed by mosquitoes. Thanks in advance and best regards from Germany! Tim

[@NorwegianWoods]

Hello Tim. I think all seasons has their ups and downs when it comes to wild camping here in Norway. It can be rain all year around, so you got to check the forecast. In the winter you will need to bring more gear, but you don't need to worry about mosquitoes. I think late fall might be a good time of the year (if it is not raining..). Some parts of Norway gets a lot of mosquitoes in the summer. Thanks for stopping by - Martin

[@otannenbaum4349]

Thanks for your answer! Can you recommend a specific region in norway to do a trekking trip in the forest/mountains too?

[@NorwegianWoods]

It is not easy to give specific recommendations like that. In general I would say that Telemark is the area with the most diversity. There we have everything from coast line trough large forests to hight mountains. Where I live (the southern part of the border between Norway and Sweden) we have large spruce and pine forests with lots of small lakes but no hight mountains. In the central part of Norway there is a lot of higher mountain areas that is popular for hiking. Den Norske Turistforening has a lot of trails and cabins in that part of Norway. Check them out here: english.dnt.no/?_ga=2.256801544.2014048591.1523089960-727692545.1523089960 Hope this helps :) - Martin

Thank you for stopping by. I am aware that a tent like this might not be for everyone, but high end four season tents tends to cost a bit of money. I hope and think it will last me for a long time :) - Martin

Hi, Martin! What is the total weight of tent, sleeping bag, mattress and pillows?

[@NorwegianWoods]

Hello my friend. The tent is 3,5kg, sleeping bag 2,5kg, sleeping mat 0,5kg and pillow weighs next to nothing. That is about 6,5kg total. Not super light weight but really manageable for moderate distance hikes. Thanks for watching - Martin

I think the repair could have been done a bit more pleasing to the eye, or a lot more actually. But fantastic video. Now I want my own Tentipi :)
