You sold me, ordered from Amazon today thanks for all the info this should be good for long distance walk in Scotland come October.

Excellent and detailed review; thanks for all your insights. While you did note that 6 pounds is heavy for a backpacking tent, it's great if you're splitting the load with a companion. Three pounds each puts this tent almost in the UL category but with the added benefit of tougher materials.

[@ScoutTechOutfitters]

No problem! We're glad you enjoyed the video! I've personally tried this tent on a 12 day canoe trip and found that it was very light indeed.

Excellent review I have just got one for motorcycle camping I’m a big guy and the extra internal space will be great for me and my bike/ camping gear

[@lucdessaux6700]

Thanks man ! Great content for your video. Just bought one for bikepacking in France !

[@ScoutTechOutfitters]

Hope you enjoy it! Let us know what you think.

Brilliant review, I really fancy one, I’ve got the Vango Halo 200 Pro but this looks good.

[@precisionfinish]

Nice job! My wife gave me this tent long and I haven’t used it yet! I had no idea it was such an awesome tent! Thanks for the video!

[@ScoutTechOutfitters]

Our pleasure!

[@franny5295]

I hope you've used it since. I'm a wife. I guarantee if you haven't she's noticed and wondering why not.

[@fishermansid8861]

@@franny5295 That made sense 🙄

[@adventureswithbecketandxena]

I just got the Elixir 2 a few days ago. I set it up outside my apartment to spray it with Nikwax and I already love it. Can't wait to try it out on my next adventure.

[@ScoutTechOutfitters]

Tell us how it is afterward!

[@adventureswithbecketandxena]

@@ScoutTechOutfitters It was great. I did two nights with it. Small thunder storm first night and it held up great

[@ExploringHabit]

Can one person set this up on they're own ?

[@wildcampinginscotland6060]

@@ExploringHabit yes, absolutely easy.

[@jaydee9262]

[@ScoutTechOutfitters]

Go for it! We're glad you enjoyed the video.

I bought this tent when it first came out,(How long ago was that?) its great for one person, bit tight for two, with bags, boots, kit It was good just for me I bought better pegs, the ones supplied are really lightweight But it's made of very lightweight material, nylon, so stay away from a camp fire and embers, it may not go up in flames, but you will end up with holes in the tent, dont think you will be cooking in it The poles are really flimsy, they will break at a join, I had to get two replacements, aircraft grade this isnt, the elastic can and will break at some point, carry a spare Make sure you use at least one lot of pegs, its very lightweight and it will (and did) blow away The footprint is another really lightweight, but it does stop moisture coming in It is lightweight, but for me its not too good (just my opinion though) It had been so long since I put mine up, I forgot how to do it, so thanks for the run through

[@vasilegherasim3225]

steak the footprint and tent and then insert the poles on one end, you don't need a second person to install it

[@ScoutTechOutfitters]

True! But we found it just slightly easier with an additional person.

[@janajana2171]

Does someone know if its ok with rain? And wind?

[@pepsi666]

Depends on how much and how hard, mine leaked and it wasnt even hard rain or wind You can spray it, waterproof it, it wont work, it will still leak

[@dereckrandell2458]

Strange review.. not showing tent being erected.

[@ScoutTechOutfitters]

In this review we're outlining the primary features of the tent, rather than how to set it up. Set up videos may be something we'll be getting into in the future.

[@rickwilcox3045]

“High quality aluminum poles”?? That’s kinda like saying, military intelligence... I’ll spell it out for you, it’s a oxymoron. Also please stop making videos

[@janbenavente]

bro stfu

[@precisionfinish]

Are you serious Rick? Maybe what he said was an “oxymoron” but you’re just a moron. Also, please stop making douchebag comments.

[@codemonkeyalpha9057]

Late to the party but I have to agree with these other guys, you are a dick. There are definitely 'cheap' aluminium poles out there, which are heavy and tend to kink easily. MSR poles are at least the decent end of the scale for aluminium. Also please stop making comments.
