[@MikaMikaMika89]

There's just something about the sound of a tent being zipped up that makes me long to go camping.

[@emmyarwen3]

Haha! Like a little hobbit hole. Really like the look of it and the features!

[@mtssman]

For me it's the clinking noise of cooking pots/mugs. 😆

[@trevormegson7583]

And steaming Tea with powdered Milk bits floating in it in the morning.

[@jeanwatson189]

I LOVE having a vestibule big enough to take off/put on waterproofs in! So good for keeping bedding dry. I also like the outer-first pitch. Both are so practical in wet weather. It's nice to see this design starting to be brought out by some less expensive brands.

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Gotta love the space you get in a 2 man tunnel tent!

[@walkingthrulife2296]

Agree! Definitely look forward to you taking this one out in ‘weather’ 👍

[@conmcgrath7174]

My god, a two person tent with ample room for two! It's like my Vango grew up and finally reached it's potential. Tunnel tents, virtually indestructable. As much as I love my old Vango, it's been on the retirement list for a while now, it has served with honour through many a storm/downpour, been my safe refuge for almost 30 years, a well earned retirement in the back garden might beckon and I'm sure I've just seen it's replacement. Cheers Paul, 'endeavor to persevere' but don't think about it and then make war on the white man! I doth covet thine tent!

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

Great looking tent

[@swampyankeeknives]

Brilliant, a portable cave. Can’t help but like this beastie. Looking forward to a future review. Well done 👍🏻

[@stetomlinson3146]

“Let’s have a look at my new tent!” Says the bloke who, a couple of months ago, was telling us he had too many tents! 😂😂👍

[@freddiecampbell]

It is huge. You could host a dinner party in there. But 5 lbs? That's a lot of weight to drag up the mountain even before you add your fine bone china tea set

[@Corcioch]

I've been looking forward to this since the first reveal. Thanks for reviewing it or showing it to us. It will be my purchase this year, perfect for Kayak camping offshore, with loads of space inside for bad weather days. Very happy to see the outer pitch instead of my current MSR tents. I wouldn't bring this for backpacking one nighters in mountains, it is big . . . .but it will be my kayak camping tent, my primary activity personally.

[@anthonymcdonald8444]

Paul, I think you have just found me my next tent🙂. Hope we don't have to wait to long to see it put through its paces. I'm a big fan of MSR. Thank you as always.

[@ryanosullivan6741]

Extra guide rope and fixed points are to used as a washing line to dry kit 👌🏻

[@marky5755]

I love MSR tents and really enjoyed this video. Cant wait to see you take it out into the wild !

[@steveb1972]

Wow what a fantastic tent at a reasonable price! You could squeeze 3 in there with gear in the porch or even one on the porch if they didn’t mind snuggling into a ball!

[@amerphoto1]

Looks to be great car camping tent or base camp tent. Glad to see it will pitch with the outer fly attached. Always seems to be rainy when I need to pitch up. Love to see your test results! Thanks for sharing!

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Nice review, thank you. That's massive lengthwise. i want to see you pitch like your last video, blizzard and hurricane.

[@williameddy7217]

Thanks for the Video Paul Hope your healthy and happy and the Misses as well

[@YDX5224]

This looks amazing.. looking forward to seeing how it does in a bit of wind

[@StealthJCB]

Love your videos Paul - I’m 28 and work in finance but your videos are a breath of oxygen to me - you inspired me to do my first camp hiking the first half of the South Downs way. Keep following your passion I’ll watch every video along the way 👍👍

[@runcycleskixc]

Looks like my Hilleberg tunnel tent :). It's indestructible (had 1 meter of snow fall on it in the Atlas overnight), but on the heavy side (~6lb). I think the Hilleberg poles are thicker than the MSR ones in this one. Has condensation issues in the winter, too.

[@turtle-Alchemist]

Looks similar to The Hilleberg Nammatj 2 I just bought. Except the Hilleberg is on another level in many ways.

[@scottward1001]

Paul you always do really good videos straight forward and understanding thanks so much

[@derrickgullage4403]

That tent is absolutely amazing.geat for two people. Or one with extra gear. The vestibule is a good size. It's nice to see that MSR also included a footprint as well. Look forward to seeing you test it and find out what your thoughts are about it. Can't wait.

[@Daydreameruk]

This looks almost exactly like my old Coleman Manitou 3, what a superb tent. Now get out in the windy rainy weather super quick and test please!!!!! Go on shoooo!,,

[@BamBam-gs7eb]

Think I prefer that to my Hubba Hubba, looks well made and easy to put up. Thanks for sharing

[@andreasweber7828]

Would love to see its wind resistance and snow load capabilities. Have been in the Blackforest recently with the lads and two of them got into serious problems as soon as their MSR tents almost collapsed. No probs in my Unna despite a surprise sleep over guest

[@diotough]

That's interesting. I've tested an MSR Elixir 2 in fairly rough weather on a hill top camp site on the Isle of Skye once with gusts ~8bft and the tent just couldn't be bothered. Not even a bent pole. Next day around us almost all other tents were damaged. It was fully staked out, tightly pitched and the wind facing side was pulled as far to the ground as possible, and closed up vents. Had a few other nights also in the wild with it in windy (although elss windy) conditions and it just proved to be a tent. So I'm a bit surprised that your friends had issues with their MSR tents. Only thing I can say though is that the Gear Shed is really not on par quality wise.

[@gazza1858]

Iv never had that problem with my Elixir 1 with wind it’s stood up to the challenge same as my Oex Bobcat i had both preformed remarkable.

[@marcomcdowell8861]

Very nice looking tent. Also, that backdrop was lovely as well!

[@fishermansid8861]

Brilliant looking tent loads of space shame about the weight especially for wild camping, for touring staying at camp sites definitely a yes.

[@johnlewis8049]

That looks a great tent. Can’t wait to see you take it out and see it in some dodgy weather. And as you say an MSR that’s outer first! Nice video

[@fiskmasadventures]

It looks really well thought out, really spacious and like you said - a proper 2 person tent! As for the groundsheet, just adding 4 mm bungee cord instead of the dyneema cord for the corner peg out points should make it perfect for just "pull-and-attach" to the rest of the tent (or maybe even attach the bungee loops directly to the flysheet pegging loops to make it a truly all-in-one pitch).

[@damonwhite9521]

It would be great to see if they did a 1 person in this, especially with the room for a two-person think it would be a winner

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

It depends on the size of the "person" though. To me, this is a one "person" tent, as I'd fit in it comfortably, with a few items to the side.

[@MyScottyboy1]

You're getting good at this reviewing malarkey. Looks like a great well thought out design with all the trimmings. Cheers, Paul.

[@soggz4246]

It’s like my old Vango tunnel tent I use for Glastonbury Festival. Apart from the weight, it’s probably the best tent I own, next to my Outbound Rocky 3 man tent. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

[@Ed30675]

As always, an excellent review... Lots to like about this tent... Thanks for the video...

[@fletchdad8755]

Nice job telling viewers all the details and facts ! Stay healthy !

[@1Polglen]

Nice looking tent. If I could still cycle tourer that would be on my radar for a new tent. Like the UK, New Zealand has a lot of rain.(too much this year so far). I can't understand manafactoriers making tents where you have to put the inners up first. You end up with a swimming pool instead! Thanks for your review.

[@philiptichelaar6477]

Wow, this really looks a lot like my 12 year old MSR Mo Room 3, which still is a brilliant tent.

[@alandavis9180]

Owning an Abisko Lite 2 and the Hilleberg Soulo (amongst others) I'm not in the market for another tent but this is a creditable effort my MSR. I spent 10 weeks hiking through Lapland this past summer and the locals were gobsmacked that anyone would use non Scandic tents (that is inner first). So it's good to see MSR moving into the 21st century. This looks to me a real 2 person tent where the Fjallraven (Lite 2) is in reality oversized for one. One thing I like about the MSR is the door on the inner zips right across the bottom. Much easier to cook with the stove in the vestibule whilst you hide inside the main body when there are myriad insects, mosquitos in Scandinavia and sandflies in New Zealand for example. The Abisko Lite doesn't zip up the same way and cooking can be a little awkward. If you want a quality 2 person tunnel tent look at the Abisko Lite 3 and compare it with this MSR. The weight of either if shared between two makes it a light weight option....Another excellent review Paul.

[@gazza1858]

Iv been waiting for someone to do a review on the new MSR tent in 2 minds to buy or not . Cheers Paul .

[@tauntonleisure]

Hey Paul, great in depth overview. We took a sample out in some rougher conditions on Dartmoor and were really impressed by the tent in some quite strong wintery winds. Keep up the good work.

[@theheightoflife]

Man ive gotta say that looks absolutely epic!!! I've got a feeling this video is gonna cost me some money 🙈🤣

[@michaelppdirector]

very similar to my Macpac minaret... only with loads more room! very cool!

[@shaunjohn4591]

Hi Paul, I have the Naturehike opulus 3, it's almost identical but I believe it's larger than the msr! It also has a large vestibule with a door each side and it's large enough for 2 to sit in easily. Same weight and pack size. The ground sheet is also a bit of a pain like the msr but I can be clipped on with a bit of patience 🤣🤣 . Great vid again👌

[@pismorichy]

And damn heavy! another great vid Paul.

[@paulshaw5345]

Reminds me of the my 80's Ultimate Horizon tent. The British mountain weather tortured it and it survived!

[@leonardmcdermott7703]

This looks like a copy of my vintage Vango Hurricane Alpha. I would be delighted to see Paul giving that one a try.

[@GoodBlokeOutdoors]

Plenty space in there mate. Looks a decent bit of kit. Great review, as always.

[@craigleewhite6317]

Now! Where were we. Oh yes. Lost your spikes on the top? You was cramped right...before you followed the powerful WildCamping beating heart MSR has impressed it's tunnel rig on your blessed self for us to see a tuff dude hit only the hardest trail's, biggest, most unbareable conditions. Craig the chop chop let's get you up there pal. It's sure going to be boastful in comparison to some of the lads:) Good shot Paul. Let's goooo...

[@Tom-eq6vo]

Reminds me of the Wild Country Hoolie Compact 2 ETC, had a nosey in one of those at GO Outdoors, massive inside perfect for my long legs 😂 but not sure I’d find many places to pitch it wild camping.

[@neemancallender9092]

I have one And yes I find plenty of places The vestibule area goes not need perfect pitch

[@Tom-eq6vo]

Any good in the wind? Loved the space, felt like my OEX Coyote but 2kg lighter!

[@macinthewild8116]

Big tent ! Rally well made , great review PM. 👍

[@Stoitism]

I have a Vango Meteor 300 which I use when camping with the mrs. It's a great tunnel tent which wasn't available for very long and was then rebranded as the Scafell 300 with some lesser specs in comparison to the Meteor. The higher spec F10 Xenon UL II is the most high-performance version of this same tunnel design. I'll sometimes use the Meteor alone when the hike in isn't too steep or far and I fancy a more spacious experience. Mine weighs in at a manageable 2.4kg which is pretty good for a 3 man tent!

[@MAURITS_METERSMAKER]

Whoa love it! These tents can have condensation issues though. You really must check that out in a follow up video. Thanks for the great presentation.

[@gazza1858]

MSR tents are probably the best tents for no condensation reason i like them so much ventilation throughout the tent .

[@MAURITS_METERSMAKER]

That’s right. I meant this type of tunnel tent. I have a Nordisk Oppland which is quite similar in design and I have stopped using it because of the amount of condensation. It would be could to know if the Tindheim doesn’t have similar issues.

[@deancorrigan81]

Tell you what mate, I'm really excited about that tent, I've been looking for something bigger for solo use and that looks brilliant, cheers Paul, really appreciate it

[@christunstall3404]

Hey Paul, I keep coming back to this video, would love to see a follow up as I’m considering this tent for when I take the missus camping… and then with the little’uns. Is this the ideal tent to take Jo out in, I’m sure she’d be well up for a night out!!

[@ifell3]

There's something I like about tunnel tents!

[@williammay6879]

Looks an impressive shelter for that price point. There’s no denying It’s the same design taken from the nammatj 2 but good to see it shave a few pounds off the pack weight. Looks ace enjoy

[@theecanmole]

Hi Paul. It's a nice looking tunnel tent! It reminds me of the New Zealand company Macpac's Minaret 2 person 2 hoop tunnel tent except its bigger. Andrew Park had a Minaret a couple of years ago. And he did a review of it. The Minaret was a bit small for 2 people really! ( Andrew Park agreed). We used to know the Macpac sales rep in Wellington and when we commented that the Minaret was good but a bit small for two, he would always say "Hey - obviously you keen adventuress types really need to buy the Macpac Olympus 2 person tent!" That was Macpac's mainstay tent. It was a larger three hooped tunnel tent. It was a great tent. really popular in the 1980s and 1990s...but.. it was at least a $100 more expensive and at least a kilogram heavier!

[@jwwardward1670]

Excellent review Paul,I own a Hilleberg nallo 2 ,and this tent has inprovements I wish the Hilleberg had ie side entrance,and the amount off pockets,but my Hilleberg is a lot lighter and the groundsheet can be attached ,so pitched as one ,as a single person weight is a major concern ATB paul

[@ianhanahoe1]

very similar size to the Anjan 2 from Hilleberg, which is a great tent and a proper 2 person tent too!

[@AtOneWithNature-dx3jq]

Right I have been loitering within the realms of my snugpak bunker for a couple of years now and although I do love it because you really do feel like you are in a tortoise shell, the space (particularly the head room) however is limited especially when i attempt to levitate myself up on a trekology UL140 🙃 This tent looks like its going to be my new favourite! The 3 person variant is the same weight as the bunker… I don’t mind the weight in exchange for a comfortable sturdy spacious tent! My wish list is growing longer by the day 😂 i am supposed to be concentrating of building the cabin 😂😂😂 Nice informative video and definitely made me want one! Stay safe and thankyou for posting 🙂🌲

[@howardpotts5763]

Looks like a party tent 🎉😊

[@mattlpfeiffer]

I own an MSR dragontail and it too, is a tunnel tent, single wall that has been around for over a decade. It’s not the first tunnel tent they have made.

[@ANTHONY_ROWE_L.R.P.S]

I like the look of that one!

[@MrPurplepirate77]

Paul just pressed buy on this one based on your video, before it arrives would love to see you use it in earnest mate

[@ipaales7552]

Looks mint paul ...a proper quality tent by a brilliant company mate 👌

[@lomino6478]

Looks to be a cracking tent 👍

[@neemancallender9092]

Paul great review but on the site is says Packaged Weight (Metric): 3.20 kg For that weight I would buy the Terra Nova Hoolie Compact 2 ETC at Packed weight 3.15Kg For much less money I have used the Hoolie 2 ETC for car camping in some pretty poor weather and it held well It has an immense vestibule for comfort and hanging out in poor weather, where it could sleep two more people, or all your gear The inner is also very spacious for two people

[@QuakerJones268]

It’s a lot of tent for the weight. I love this design of tent hence why I love my Nallo 2.

[@Tony-yu7on]

Like to see it in winds think it will fail but if it doesn’t I’m gonna go and buy one looking forward to the wind test 😮

[@rickkearn7100]

Can't wait to see your post of this tent in bad weather, PM! How, in God's name, did you manage to find such a spectacular weather day to film this?? LOL. I really enjoyed viewing this. Cheers.

[@DavidHeffron78]

Man, this looks nice.

[@johngalt6929]

Great review for what appears to be a great product. I just noticed that MSR USA does not have this tent on the USA website, no mention at all, let alone price in USD.

[@salesassistant3019]

That rear flysheet vent looks like it's going to let in water on a windy night, Hilleberg have a flap that zips it shut does this have one that zips shut?

[@MrBluoct]

Thanks I believe a sub-set of tent manufacturers and marketing also considers a dog of varied size or 2🤔 as included in inner space requirements by a growing number of outdoor enthusiasts

[@54DegreesNorth]

Awsome Paul, I’ve been looking at this tent for the last few weeks. Great review, I think I’m gunna pull the trigger and add it to the collection 🤜🤛⛺️🏔️

[@pt96hni]

The two missing tent pegs must be the ones you used for the foot print I guess. It looks very similar to my Hilleberg Anjan 2 but the footprint does not cover the vestibule in that one. That weight 2.0 kg with footprint I think as a comparison.

[@richardburkow3792]

Great review - love this tent!

[@Lizapendleton]

Fab tent!

[@ianparkes2538]

Great review Paul , it looks similar to the vango f10 xenon , love to see a comparison with the msr elixir 2 having just changed to the elixir from a similar tunnel

[@robertmulhern2129]

Could be interesting to do a comparison with the Wild Country Blizzard 2

[@johnfarthing7466]

Same design as my Robens Arch 2 Paul, only difference is the door is on the side of porch rather than front of porch.

[@rottieman347]

Looks perfect for motorcycle camping. Loads of room too. Thanks for the video. I couldn't find the price on the website. Do you know

[@wendyhuggins5288]

I've just bought this one Paul. I go cycling round Holland every year and this is a step up from my 5 year old Vango! Have you tried it in extreme conditions yet? If so: could you give me the link please. Not that I need that reassurance for Holland 🤣🤣 I would just love to see how it fairs Hoping that your health is improving?.....

[@paulhulley5969]

Few hilleberg touches on that MSR ⛺️⛰🥾👍🏻

[@angrycamping]

I'm currently banned from buying anymore tents and I was happy with that but, this one's got me itching like a wrong'un!

[@davidbotardo8597]

Wooowww... A big country house 😃... Looking forward to seeing the practical test. 🏕️🏞️🇬🇧🇺🇸🇧🇷

[@christophkragolnik420]

Nice review, nice tent. Hope there will be a ul version though. At 3,3 kg for 3 season it's quite heavy😬

[@MrDavidh37]

Copy of the Abisko lite 2 weight similar considering the ground sheet. Looks slightly bigger though. Typical tunnel tent good for 4 season conditions. Interesting review thanks 😊

[@malesu1068]

Abisko Lite 2 is a smidging over 2kg, and true 4 season and can take another set of poles.. for under £500 if you shop around

[@InimitaPaul]

It’s a copy of the Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2 with cheaper materials, it’s good that they’ve managed to keep the weight pretty much identical but I won’t be replacing my Fjallraven with it.

[@MrSilentliu]

Another difference is Lite 2 does not have the same head room.

[@Rlea67]

Is the abisko lite as large as that ?, that msr is massive 😐

[@InimitaPaul]

I think it’s the same size inside but it looks like the gap between outer and inner is larger with the MSR for some reason.

[@Rlea67]

@@InimitaPaul I like the design of the abisko lite 2 but can’t afford one, this cud be a cheaper option but it looks bloody enormous 🤣

[@garysgotatent]

Lite 2 is 10mm shorter in height but vestibule about the same.lite poles are 9.6mm and 9mm.had my lite 2 in terrible weather and no problems.msr looks good though and packed between 2 would be fine.

[@seeyouthen]

Nice one Paul

[@DannyMacDJ]

I have got an MSR Hubba Hubba NX2 and I have managed to figure out a way to pitch it outer first as long as you have a footprint

[@ForrixTV]

im so happy i got the elixir one and not two this maybe my glamping and 2 person tent

[@pootlingalong8928]

Like this one, although probably a bit heavy and overkill for me. I have a Hubba Hubba NX and the Hubba NX Solo and love them, very reliable well made tents. You can pitch them outer first btw! Subscribed as enjoy all your videos! 👍🏻🙂

[@markperry222]

That is are really practical tent, for one big reason. It has a side opening vestibule, which makes the vestibule much more practical in the wet. This might be unique for a 2 hoop tunnel tent. The only other tunnel tents I have seen with the side opening vestibules are the 3 hoop tents, which are much larger, heavier, and bulkier. I would be curious to know if there are any other 2 hoop tunnel tents with side opening vestibule.

[@MrCYCLESMITH]

Your shit is real. Thank you.

[@feel.the.need.]

You've got to admire MSRs commitment to quality & design.

[@robertmulhern2129]

Nice, shame there’s no 10% off link 👍

[@bartmcdougall7518]

Nice good viedo showing the tent but for the price of it al stick to naturehike opalus 2 for price and weight and space. But as you sead possible 4 session can only wait for your next viedo showing it in real world weather.
