Solo Camp at Dagger Woods MSR Elixir 2

My first solo overnight trip to Dagger woods, Clutton near Bristol.
Includes what I took and what I recommend

[@My24hradventure]

Fantastic to see the elixir beaming in the sunlight! I've just bought one as well, should arrive later in the week. Can't wait. Cool vid, nice one 😊👍

[@CottonBud]

"It's wonderful, I highly recommend this to anybody. Just get out, go on your own, do it...". With wise words like that, you don't need to worry about sayng anything 'useful'. Ace vid,, thanks for posting.

[@brianboucher9604]

Enjoyed watching that ! Nice little spot for the sun coming up ☀️

[@mightbelost]

Thank you. Cant wait to get out again.

[@brianboucher9604]

@@mightbelost yea I’m the same can’t wait! , doing the west highland way in summer so need to get as much walking and wild camping in as possible 😀

[@barriereid9244]

I have used mine for a ten week period on the Clyde fjord whilst kayaking. It took all of my kayaking gear and loads of room to change in and out of my dry suit when it was raining. I used another ground sheet as well as the one supplied to put my dry bags on inside. The tent when packed wet and put back up took no time at all to dry out (300 days of rain a year on West Coast) and withstood gale force winds with no thought that it would take off. On those days when the weather was so bad I used a tarp, sleeping bag and bivvy bag only. I recommend this tent even if you are camping for one. Stay safe. 🌹

Awesome loads of room , i felt like kidnapping an hiker to fill the space in the elixir theyre biiig

Great tent , i lost it with vango although theyre named after great scotish mountain ranges , theyres little or NO THOUGHT to midge netting on the doors ??? MSR every time . And im judging here now 😀 great cooker . Cool vid ( mountain hardwear and thermarest are strict on temp ratings )

[@campingkaicampingkai2922]

Greetings from Germany! Nice Video. From where do you got the Footprint for the Vestibule?

[@andyholmes999]

loved your video young lady, about to buy your tent for a tour of europe on an enduro bike :)

[@nicholasromans5816]

Good first wild camp keep it up 👍👍👍

[@FuchsiaShock]

Elixir 2 is my motorbiking tent. Really like it but not sure I'd use it if hiking. Tend to go minimal if hiking as it's about the walking rather than setting up camp. Which means gadgets are perfectly acceptable when camping, as "camping" is about setting up and sitting around. What else you going to do?!

Hello, from queensland Australia. Worning about picking mushrooms!! Be carefule that you are not upsetting the fairies and the nomes as they sometimes live in them. Ha ha ha. Gerard.

[@hisnibs830]

Good fun but maybe pitch away from the paths in future, especially as a solo woman id be more stealthy. Keep up the good vids but take better care x

[@mightbelost]

Thanks for the concern but I do know the landowner so I knew I was ok where I was.

[@Iyanrach]

Perfect Hair match the color with the jacket, very nice camping video, I also made a camping video too, Good luck.

[@espenkandersen8046]

Great tent Elixir 2 ,uses the same on mountain trips here in Norway .. :)

[@inxlee]

How does your elixir have a groundsheet on the vestibules? Able to share what you used thanks!

[@leethemiller]

cracking video ........stumbled across your video looking for reviews on the msr tent ......thanks

[@mightbelost]

Thank you. Sorry it's pretty much my only video 😂 hoping that will change soon. The Msr elixir 2 is a great tent.

[@leethemiller]

@@mightbelost yes I like the look of the tent but not shore about pitching it in uk weather

Great tents i use mine for bike packing.

[@mightbelost]

Thank you 😊

[@AgusPurnama]

Nice !!!

[@petersen_michael_]

Nice video 👍👍 What are you using for ground sheet in the vestibule?

[@mightbelost]

I made the ground sheet using hilliberg fabric. I think I shared the link on a previous comment. If not its on my Instagram instagram.com/mightbe_lost

[@petersen_michael_]

@@mightbelost Thnx 👍

[@leifandersson8754]

I also got the Elixir 2. Where did you find the vestibule mat or is it something you made yourself? Seems like a great addition to the tent anyhow.

[@mightbelost]

I made it myself using hilleberg fabric. Was really quick and easy. Theres pics of my making it on my IG (@ mightbe_lost) It makes all the difference, great place to leave cooking stuff and boots on dry nights.

[@leifandersson8754]

@@mightbelost Thanks, looks great. I am thinking about creating something similar using a tarp. Do you mind share the measures if you got them noted down?

[@mightbelost]

I don't have them at hand, but I can grab them in the morning for you.

[@mightbelost]

@@leifandersson8754 81inchs at the widest part (closest to the tent enterance) x 31inchs to the then 25inch at the narrowest part. Hope that makes sense.

[@leifandersson8754]

@@mightbelost Thanks a lot. After converting your figures to the metric system I think it will 😀.

[@MartinSteehouwer]

Hi, what kind of footprint do you use? It looks like it is covering the area in front of the exit. Nice vid by the way!

[@mightbelost]

Thank you. I use the foot print that came with the tent and I made the porch footprint using hilleberg fabric. Heres the Instagram post from when I made it. instagram.com/p/CFCbLSihSGf/?igshid=bv30br437z5j

@@mightbelost Thanks for the fast reply. A piece of fabric 81x31x25 inch? How did you attach it to the tent?

I didnt attach it just pegged it down.

My llyn y fan fach, wales is my favourite place in the world. Tbh a part from clutton i only ever go to wales as im in bristol so its really easy to jump over the bridge. I do plan to do the lakes once were allowed.

Sorry was at work. Its obviously not a 4 season tent but for low level rain, wind etc I think it's done great.

[@Martin-8oll]

Hi! Thanks for your video and review. I have bought an Elixir 3 for two of us camping, but was wondering if I should have bought the Elixir 2. Do you think the extra room on the 3 justify the extra weight and volume?

[@mattpurtill1162]

Hey Martin how are getting on with the elixir also looking for a tent for me and my partner do you think an elixir 2 would be big enough?

[@Martin-8oll]

Hi@@mattpurtill1162, I finally bought the Elixir 3 and took it in Scotland Borders 4 Abby Route (around 110km) the 3 weights a little more but inside is like a palace that allows you a lot of room to sleep, change and hang your clothes. We may try it with a baby. In this case it makes even more sense to have the 3. If I was on a longer backpacking trip with elevation I would probably choose the 2. Hope it helps

[@Leo_2023ajc]

hello, what is your tarpaulin in front of your entrance? thank you

[@ronadler4442]

You didn’t camp under a tree but you certainly camped in the middle of the “road” were vehicles go. Not safe especially at night in a green tent.

[@francoismaleking5474]

Hi How did you find using the mountain equipment mat I bought one the same one its a big one how far did you carry it

[@mightbelost]

It is very big but once strapped to my bag you hardly notice it. I didn't travel far, mile or so. I wouldnt use it if hiking a long distance but for campsites or short journeys it's worth the weight for the comfort I think.

[@jasonphillips8302]

Hi you have a vestibule footprint. Is that part of the footprint or is that separate? Just about to buy an elixir2 and think that’s a great feature. Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@mightbelost]

Hello and thank you, I made that part myself using hilleberg fabric. I put the detail in another comment. Theres also info on my Instagram page. :)
