New Tent: Wild Country Helm Compact 1. Trial Pitch & First Look.

Quick test pitch. Chose this tent due to size, spec, outer and inner pitch together and the fact it's free standing to allow the opportunity to find the perfect pitch. The tent made by Wild Country (Terra Nova) ticks all the boxes for me. Hopefully enjoy some summit and long distance wild camping. Can't count tent pegs apparently.

I've got the same tent, use it spring/autumn as it gives me a wee bit more warmth than my msr freelite for bike packing. Also bought the footprint for extra protection. 😊

Seems a good tent for the move away from the hot tent season. Have one of the very first Vango Banshees, but fancied something different.

Just bought one with groundsheet after looking at many tents

[@cowalexplorer]

Nice one. I ordered my groundsheet yesterday. This tent, for me seems the best of all options.

I want that tent 👍🏕

[@cowalexplorer]

Ticks all the boxes for me. Need to get it out for the night, give it a full test. Get one 👍

I have the same tent its a great little tent, has stood up to some brutal weather as well. Always good to do a test pitch before you take it out into the wild! Enjoy

[@cowalexplorer]

That’s good to hear it can handle the elements. Looking forward to the first night in it 👍 ⛺️

Always good to do a test first to get the hang of it. Last thing you want is to be struggling understanding how to do it in bad conditions on the top of a mountain. Best wishes with the adventures with it.

Cheers. Aye, I like to familiarise myself with pitching and the tent it’s self. Looking forward to a night in it. Lest i know there are 12 pegs now ! 😂

I've just bought this tent as well has a really good reputation, not used it yet though, worth getting the ground sheet as it covers the porch areas. Lovely back drop to your video must be some great camping spots there.👍

[@cowalexplorer]

Yeah, I’m waiting for the local(ish) company to get the footprint in stock so will get one, hopefully before the first camp. Looking forward to getting to use it 👍
