Wild Camping Overnight Adventure.

[@BorneoGirlAdventure]

I really enjoyed your video, as a young man I will learn a lot about camping from you. I send a lot of love to you, greetings greetings one hobby 🙏🏻☺

[@mow-zr6ni]

Great to see you out. Just enjoying a whiskey while watching your video. Cheers

[@David_Avidmind]

Great to see you back. I look forward to seeing you and the wife travel the cape wrath (assuming she wants to be on camera). I am glad you were able to convince Murray not to wear his banana colored trousers.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Could be interesting and something we have wanted to do for a long time. Atb

[@fraserconnell21]

Heyup Raynegade😁. I do remember watching your film where you'd spruced up that memorial! You've got me interested in the hex peak pal. They look massive inside too. Cheers Raymondo all the very best, Fraser 👍

[@centralcoastbound]

Great video and review Ray, always good to see you and Murray together. A wee dram of whiskey is the best on a cold night.

[@TheRobtrident]

Good to see you out again Ray. Always enjoy the videos thankyou.

[@aliyassine2353]

Definitely glad I bought mine. And Outlawed Landscapes mods have been a great help too. Don't forget to seam seal it before winter. lol

[@RS.Outdoors]

Will do! Atb

[@euansmith5885]

Just found your channel Ray, courtesy of watching you and Murray on your adventures. Superb content and have even bought myself one of the Optimus windshields that I saw you using. Looks ideal for my set up. I also live local to the Ochils and like yourself have kind of ignored them in search of bigger hills. Your vlogs have inspired me to get the backpack on and start exploring them. As you say, 20 mins from your front door beats a 2hrs drive, especially if you are just out for the night. Thanks for sharing your adventures 👌

[@RS.Outdoors]

Thanks for watching and Atb.

[@outlawedlandscapes]

Yass, thanks for the shout out! :D Great to see you out again and what can I say, the Hexpeak is a fantastic bit of kit! I look forward to both testing mine in winter conditions and seeing how you get on - I reckon with the size of them, those long winters nights will be a wee bit easier! It's great to hear that you and the Mrs are considering the CWT, that'd be an amazing experience for you both. Thanks again :)

Ah...two of my favourite KZbinrs. I nearly bought a Hexpeak, but bottled it and went for a abisko lite 1 instead. Perhaps I should reconsider. Nice spot to pitch!

[@davids9549]

Glad to see you taking this tent out Ray - I rate my V4A highly. Don't worry about seam-sealing, I still haven't 6 years on and it's never leaked. I'm told this is because the seams are 'rolled' and not 'butted'. The Luxe inner works fine, but its 600g weight isn't that clever. I use a 400g Ali inner instead. Alcohol tip: Forget the heavy tins of beer and take a cask-strength malt (typically 55%-60% alcohol bv). This means you carry a third less weight than regular (40%) whisky. It's not meant to be consumed neat - just dilute with water to your preferred drinking strength at camp. Carry it in a lightweight drinks pouch - mine weighs 10g and will hold 35cl which is half a bottle, equivalent to three-quarters of a bottle at normal drinking strength. Liquid alcohol weighs less by volume than water, so the carried weight of the full flask is 316g - not bad for the equivalent of three-quarters of a bottle of Scotch and less than a single can of beer. Plus less getting up to pee through the night. Thank me later.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Thanks Dave, some geat advice. Atb

[@PMarsh14]

Hi Ray, it's great to see you out wild camping. It was fab catching up with you in person at Beinglas campsite in July. It's fab chatting about gear, especially tents with yourself and my two brothers. We had the custom made Trekkertents and were absolutely shattered after a long day. Take care and keep up the great vids. Pete

[@RS.Outdoors]

Hi Pete. Was great to bump into you all during your walk. Hope you managed to complete it and had a great time. Atb

[@PMarsh14]

[@greyhikes5236]

Good to see you back Ray! Was beginning to get worried! 😉

[@TheCheshireWanderer]

Hi Ray.. Great video. I absolutely love my V4A and have used it many times. Unfortunately, i damaged the door 😢 cant seen to find a replacement outer anywhere. I remember you used to be able to buy them separately. Atb Mike

[@AScotsmanOutdoors]

Great video (as always) and that sunrise was some intense orange action, brilliant! I almost went for the HexPeak after seeing how well it held up in Scott's wind test but opted for the Sierra Designs High Route for the height it offered. Seeing your last shot on this one I now understand where the cairn with the plaque is. I saw one as you crest over towards Glencoe Ski centre when I did the WHW recently and wrongly thought it was the one with the plaque. It did get me a bit higher to have a great view over Rannoch Moor. Excellent stuff as always and looking forward to seeing how the HexPeaks do in winter.

[@chrisweldon2817]

Had the V4A for a few years now, I really like and rate it. Still at a decent price by the sound it, enjoyed the video 👍

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Nice little test, shame the inner is tight for tall campers Where have you been ray,missed your camps Cheers Keep em coming

[@nicholasromans5816]

Great vid ray, your my fav youtuber mate love your videos and hikes, bought a mld duomid because of yourself ha, like the took of that tent and especially the weight of it keep up the good work 👍👍

Legend! Atb

Thanks for watching! Atb

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Fantastic video Ray - Twas a great dusk and morning - wish the weather was like that every weekend 👍👍 Catch up soon Murray

[@WiltshireMan]

Still use my V4 after many years, though it does need re seam sealing. Your right in what you say about pyramid tents though I have my reservations as to how well the inner would cope with fine spindrift

[@stevetock8065]

Brilliant as always that tent is certainly worth a look

[@Olan...]

Great review, impressed enough to just buy one even though i am loving my Duomid with my Pretents soloist inner...My Duomid is Orange so this will allow me to be a bit more discreet. Cheers Ray :)

[@RS.Outdoors]

Hi Olan, Used the DCF Duomid on my first CWT attempt and thought it was a great tent for a hike such as that. Atb

[@Thebluedocful]

Loved seeing you with Murray, Ray. Great video as always. Loads of people have gone for the MLD Duomid recently (not sure if you started the trend!). This tent looks like a nice alternative. I don’t have a trekking pole tent yet because at 6’3” I’ve always been put off because of inner space. Still, hoping to get one at some point. Cheers mate 🗻

[@neemancallender9092]

I also like the Hex Peak Any more videos of it in use?

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

I don't usually like trekking pole tents because of my claustrophobia, but without the inner (I might just bring a groundsheet, to stay dry), the footprint of this one looks extremely generous. I just might be able to actually enjoy this.

[@BrokenBackMountains]

Lovely and accessible place to go but it also feels remote. Good to see you out. If you get the chance try the xmid solid. I've been using it and love the room I have now. It is like 2 tipis joined together. .

[@austingavins9181]

Love this tent myself - have owned and used for a little over a year now. I use the ASTA Xinxue 2 Person Four Seasons Inner from ali-express in mine. Bit lighter weight - probably not as well made and leaves you with a small porch, but fits myself, Sam (a large collie dog) and wide Big Agnes AirCore Ultra with plenty of space in the inner itself. Requires a bit of footling to get it to fit right, but I am well impressed so far and looking forward to camping up on the tops and maybe as far as the Atlantic coast - come on the winter :)

[@RS.Outdoors]

Thanks for ther info and will take a look at that inner. Atb

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

If you're after something lighter than beer to port along, but makes for a more leisurely cup than a flask of the brown stuff, then cask wine ("goon", as it call it here Down Under) freed of its box carries very well; the foil bladder weighs next to nothing, + is totally non-rigid in shape, so it's extremely pack-friendly. Of course, since that part of the world isn't exactly known for its wine regions, I don't know if you guys have access to _decent_ cask-wine alongside the bad stuff, as we do here (a winery called Banrock Station makes some very agreeable table-reds, which they do offer under cardboard for the smaller ecological footprint [dunno if this something they still do, but they used to impregnate a section of their boxes with wattle seeds, for planting in the ground once the you're done with it]), but on the off-chance that you do, I figured it was worth a mention. It's certainly _my_ personal tipple-format of choice, when going walkabout.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Wine could be a good option :) Atb

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

@@RS.Outdoors ATB! 🙂

[@rtk3543]

Pleased to see you out and about Ray and Murray too an added bonus. looks a nice tent, never had a pyramid type tent so am liking that roomy vestibule, excuse my ignorance but why aren't the seams already sealed on some tents? Cheers Ray looking forward to your winter camps.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Hi RTK. The sealing doesnt get done as it needs to be done by hand and takes time which would add to costs. Thats why the likes of Tarptent charge for seam ssealing to be done at the factory as an optional extra. Atb

[@philjones3335]

Great to have you back, always loved your informative videos. What do you think of the revolution race jacket you were wearing. I have recently bought a pair of trousers from revolution race and am very happy with them. That jacket looks good but would appreciate your opinion 😉

[@RS.Outdoors]

Nice jacket but the hood is on the very, very large side which is a bit of a let down. Overall it is pretty good though. Atb

[@richardwaudby7338]

Hi Ray just bought one of these myself second hand. Not had it out properly yet but practice pitched it yesterday and added the panel guys. Followed outlawed landscapes pitching tips actually which were very handy. Heading to fisherfield on Friday and looking forward to using it. Had a duomid years ago and can see the similarities.

[@outlawedlandscapes]

Glad you found it handy sir, happy camping 😊🏕

[@austingavins9181]

@@outlawedlandscapes Have to agree with Richard - have your pitching tips on this saved to my youtube faves - watch whenever I take it out camping up in the mournes with my Collie dog :) Really enjoyed the storm pitch comparison with the wild winds too :)

@Austin Gavins Did someone say Collie!? :D That's fantastic to hear mate, I'm glad it's been a help to you! I'll be back on the mountains in the Hexpeak this weekend hopefully and I aim to do some further weather testing in the future as well. Next big storm and the Hex is getting pitched in the most exposed spot I can find... haha!

[@RS.Outdoors]

Very good mat so far, really impressed. Atb

How did you find the Big Agnes sleeping pad ? Have been considering this one as it is relatively cheap for an insulated pad.

[@alfiethedog931]

Hi Ray, love the review thinking about getting one myself. Looking at taking the Mrs wild camping too, mostly summits etc. I have a Terra Nova Voyager but a bit cramped for 2. What tent are you getting when you take the Mrs on CWT

[@RS.Outdoors]

Hi Andrew. Not sure what I will use but have done many long distance walks before with my wife and can recommend the MSR Access 2 as thats what we used most. However the price of that tent has rocketed unless you could find one cheap on fleabay. Atb.

[@alfiethedog931]

Hi Ray How are you getting on with the Hexpeak

[@borderraiders]

Great to see you back out Ray. Really interested to see how you get on with this shelter in the coming months! It’s one we have looked at and it seems like it has great potential in terms of storm worthiness and room for colder seasons. It does look like out of the box, it needs a few mods but you are already onto them. Will have to bring us back in a few months for a longer term review 👍

[@russelldavies8911]

Hello Ray, was good to have a blether with you in Glen Shiel back in July, did you sell the orange MSR?.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Hi Russell, sorry I forgot to get back to you and it was great to meet up and have a chat. Yes I did dell the MSR so I could try out other things. Hope you are still getting out and about. Atb

[@ammkhadem]

👏👏👏

[@hnahler]

What do I NOT love about this tent? - It’s weight. I’m 6ft1in and the inner is really at the limit for my height. The inner feels space-wise comparable to a Lanshan 1 Pro. But now come all the things I love about it. Storms, massive downpours, winter summit camps. No other tent I would have wanted to be in. I can happily spend 15h in winter in the tent. Try that in an ultra-lightweight tent. Drop down the inner and it feels like a palace. Cooking, reading, getting changed. All fine. Downpour in the morning? No problem. You have enough space inside to roll up your mat and pack your entire rucksack in the dry. In the end, get out, take the outer down, shake it and attach it to the outer of your rucksack. I haven’t used mine since May but it will come out in a few weeks again. It’s overkill and too heavy on a long-distance summer hike. When the nights get longer, colder and wetter, I don’t want to miss the comfort and safety of this tent.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Thanks Hendrik for your insight and agree with all that you say. Atb

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

How does it go for wind resistance while an occupant is lying down? I confess that those high fabric panels on the inner there look very well designed to offset the natural draft coming up under the gap at the base of the outer walls. And do they offer equal protection on _all_ sides of the inner, or only the one that faces into the centre? An "Autumn/early Spring" wind-protection design like that has seemed a rare thing on "3-season" (which usually only truly means _comfy_ In Summer, early Autumn & late Spring) tents, from my research, so as someone with a chill-reactive chronic spinal injury - that can quickly make a whole trip miserable, if activated - it looks very attractive to me.

[@hnahler]

@@mysterylovescompany2657 , I have camped on hilltops I n 20mph and subzero (Celsius) temperatures. No problem. There is a massive difference when you sit up in the inner. You then do get the draft. But laying down, the panels of the inner are high enough all around to keep the wind off. It is indeed not a 4-season inner as some of the warmth you generate will be blown away through the netting higher up. Also, I haven't used it in snow, so cannot comment on that.

[@gerry1374]

What trousers do you wear? Looking to get a pair but looking at the shops on Dunfermline High St the choice is limited. Any recommendations?

What you didnt really like about this tent? Maybe difficulty to set it up properly everyday or smth?
