Solo Lake District Wild Camp | First Time Use Of The HILLEBERG ANARIS

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Loved those hot dogs Alan. Nothing wrong with those 👌 i think the anaris needs a t zip onmer like my Lanshan. I wouldnt have one with the j zip door. Forgetting the views, its just easier where you can cook one side of the door while sitting inside and still get out through the other door. Just gives more option. Plus they need at least a foot of solid material at the bottom as thats the only place air is coming in and in that cold wind its not good. Set up was fine but of course its not designed to be that low as its really more for summer but itll be nice and taught when you raise it back to full when its warmer 👍

[@54DegreesNorth]

Nice one Mike. Definitely right with the zips, I never thought the full mesh inner would be an issue but you was right … again lol I did notice it during the night, but like you said I think it’ll be a good one for when we finally get some warmer weather 🤜🏻🤛🏻⛺️

[@groundbreakerexplore]

Thank you for the magnificent and impressive wild camping performance! Sending applause to your splendid expression!

[@54DegreesNorth]

Thankyou for watching atb Alan

[@QuakerJones268]

I've had my Anaris a couple of years now and I still get excited using it. Initially the door is a pain but its something I never think about now. I sold all my tents and kept the Anaris, its my go to tent. It does stand up well to wind considering its just a 3 season tent (Ive been out in mine in some right storms) but in the summer when you can roll up the fly sheet into a multitude of configurations its hard to beat. Enjoyed the video.

[@54DegreesNorth]

Cheers mate, yeah my thoughts are the same. I’ve been using it all summer, apart from the dregs of winter it’ll be my go to tent, i do wish the mesh inner had a bit of solid at the bottom just to help stop that wind whistling through Thanks for watching mate

[@MiddysGoWild]

Been up to lakes a few time, but just come back from our first wild camp, what an absolute stunning place can’t wait to get back up there.

[@54DegreesNorth]

Glad you enjoyed it, where abouts did you go ??

[@IanSiverwood_SilvoTours]

Great video Alan . Nice tent . I could taste those hot dogs . Love the time-lapse.

[@54DegreesNorth]

Nice one mate, can’t beat crag fell, perfect place for a mid week camp Took the easy option with the hotdogs but they were so nice, cheers vid watching mate

[@Markus_vancamper]

Tinned hotdogs lol was looking forward to the steak cooking looks like a cracking tent. Glad to see you out again we headed back up to Scotland last week will be up here till next year now. Stay safe buddy mark and jasper

[@54DegreesNorth]

Hiya mate. Well that sounds amazing I’m back up in a couple of months. Hey I bet Jasper wouldn’t complain about hotdogs 😂😂😂

[@2pegsshort]

Nice to see you back out mate. New tent looks really nice, very smart bit of kit. Look forward to catching up when we come up on the 22nd

[@54DegreesNorth]

Can’t wait for the 22nd mate, it’s gunna be a good one, tent was mint, I really like Cheers for watching number 2 x

[@StepsbyKaatje]

It must have been so great to be out after such a long time. It did look pretty cold! Hotdogs onions and cheese sounds really good for an outdoor meal! Your tent looked nice as well! Have a great Sunday! Kaat

[@54DegreesNorth]

Thanks Kaat , hope you’re well ⛺️

[@FeinDining]

We went even longer than you did 😁 Hey, life comes first, right? At least you came back with a killer return and we're all the better for it. Thanks for taking us yet another awesome adventure.

[@54DegreesNorth]

Hey guys, good to hear from you both, sorry for the late reply, absolutely loved this one, I’ve not seen a vid from you for ages so gunna come see if I’ve missed any x

[@JamieHarding5]

Very good. Enjoyed that. I'm up there next month camping for 3 days. I'll cram as much in as possible. Good time-lapse liked that. Tent looked good. Shame you had strong winds in the night, hard to sleep then. Fair play 4 hotdogs👏👏👍 Look forward to your next one.👋

[@54DegreesNorth]

Yo homie. I hope you get decent weather whilst you’re up here, the tents awesome apart from the couple of things I mentioned. I could only do two hotdogs and had a bite out the third lol

[@JamieHarding5]

@@54DegreesNorth Thanks. Good effort on the 🌭 😁👍

[@Camp-N-Wilddragon]

Another hilleberg 😂 never knew they had a trekking pole tent and match matchy colour to the soulo, love the sand colour version, shame I got rid of mine. Good to see you back out bud. Hot dogs looked great, anything better than them hiking meals mate lol. Great video and stunning views as usual.. Catch you soon Alan 👍

[@54DegreesNorth]

Yo Dai , I never knew either until I started looking at trekking pole tents, once I saw it I had to get it lol, love the colour too Thanks for watching mate 👍👍

[@callumbucknall]

cracking video mate, the hilleberg looks great!

[@54DegreesNorth]

Thanks mate, yeah I’m really impressed with it, not really the weather for it but you know what it’s like when you get new gear lol Thanks for watching Atb Alan

[@davebirds5667]

Like a palace that mate, it’s massive 😁 Love Crag Fell, great views, I was up there last week (camped off of haycock) Just sub’d now I’ve found you 😊 Thanks for everything you’ve done for this fundraiser, really looking forward to it 👍 Take care Dave (dicky bird outdoors)

[@54DegreesNorth]

Nice one Dave, yeah it’s a great tent proper impressed with it but pricey for what it is The only thing with crag fell is the sun setting behind you otherwise it would be perfect, Nice one for watching mate and I’ll come check you out too ATB ALAN

[@Moffatmountainadventures]

I’m game for joining in your camp night June 22nd btw. Seen your links on the page, always do my bit for my local mountain rescue

[@54DegreesNorth]

Hiya mate, yeah just give me a pm from the group and I’ll send you the list of summits we have left

[@WomanOutdoors]

Hey Alan good to see ya! Nice tent and views

[@54DegreesNorth]

Hey LB, how’s things mate ? Yeah the tents a belter, really like it, and you don’t get many better views than the Ennerdale valley

[@ArcticNatureExperiences]

Hilleberg rules! It is that simple Alan, so really cool to see you in the Hill District with new gear and great views! Yes it is more expensive, but Hilleberg provides quality and durability. And seeing you put it up for the first time proves both that you are an experienced hiker and also that Hilleberg is quite intuitive to use. This kind of tent is not for me as I need something that can handle strong winds and cold nights, but for your use IN SUMMER it looks good! But you were cold up there and needed the rum and food on the new stove! And you are right about the food being right for the view😅As for the fundraising it is a worthy cause - mountain rescue teams needs support to keep going! So I will check it out as I might end up in your hills one day and in need of motivated volunteers! Have a great Sunday. All the best, Ant

[@54DegreesNorth]

Hiya ant. It wasn’t really the weather for the Anaris but I was dying to use it so jumped the gun a little but happy I did, I bet the wind hit 35mph and the tent didn’t budge…. Hilleberg all the way mate

[@LuckyKatiKRexperiences]

Beautiful place 😃, very nice experience 😃

[@54DegreesNorth]

Thankyou x

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Nice camp and a wonderful day 😊

[@54DegreesNorth]

Thanks! You too!

Absolutely stunning episode man

[@54DegreesNorth]

Thankyou mate

[@Moffatmountainadventures]

Cheers Alan. Give you a sub. I’ll get a few of these watched over the weekend. Cracking pitch you’ve got there.

[@54DegreesNorth]

Cheers mate

[@daveostlemountainman]

Good stuff lad, nice to see ya back oot.. dont think i could go to work straight after a camp, must be difficult tha.. all the best lad tek care :)

[@54DegreesNorth]

Hiya Dave, good to finally be back out tbh, yeah it was a struggle when I first started doing camps with work the next day but I’ve got used to it now. Plus it frees the weekend up to spend with the mrs and kids ….. oh and less people lol so winner all round Thanks for watching mate

[@chrisweldon2817]

With 2 pole trekking pole tents you're always given a pitch height but on uneven ground peg the 4 corners then raise each pole as high as you can so the tent and then apex is taut. You might have a bigger gap at the fly edge on one side but the pitch will be great. Also to raise or lower the air gap on fly just lengthen or shorten the 4 corner tie outs. Cracking looking tent, I'd use that 3 season no problem.

[@54DegreesNorth]

Nice one Chris, first time ever using a trekking poke tent, it’s a great bit of kit though, I’ll take what you’ve said on board mate thanks 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@chrisweldon2817]

@@54DegreesNorth pole height is the important part to get the apex taut you can then faff around with length of corner guys on uneven ground you might lose some bathtub height but if the tents tight it's not moving, that beast will handle some wind. You should try a Trailstar 🤣👌

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yep, it had been 3 months for me too between climbs but it is always worth the wait. Canny new tent mind but that price - yikes! Still, pretty light for a 2 man tend and not a bad effort for a first ever pitch and what a view that was and I will be up for a couple of tickets. Those hot dogs looked amazing but that winded sounded and I bet was baltic, good to see you out again marra, cheers Alan

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Donated £10 but it would not let me leave a message🤔

[@54DegreesNorth]

Nice one Al, you can’t beat crag fell for view and the ease of walk up there, The tents a belter I’m proper happy with it but not the best price tag lol I’ve seen your name pop up on the fundraiser page mate so you name is down 👍👍👍 Thanks for watching 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@thewestonfront]

I believe that the purpose of the guys on the corners of the inner are to make the inner taut at the different pole heights.

[@54DegreesNorth]

Yeah you’re right mate , but the lower you drop the poles you can’t get the inner any more taught, To be honest if I had more confidence in the tent ( like I do now) I would of kept the poles up and I don’t think I would of had as much of an issue Thanks for the comment mate it’s appreciated ATB Alan

[@grandefromage4607]

Not sure if it's a silly suggestion but what if you put the pole in through the door at the top so it rests on the tent floor, the door would zip up around the pole at the top, then the floor would help with the zipping up issue?

[@54DegreesNorth]

Hiya mate first of all thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, I’m not sure am quite what the zipping issue was now without watching it back, but I’ve used the tent all summer and really like it As for putting the pole inside. I’m not quite sure how that would work but my pole would definitely puncher a hike straight through the floor Atb Alan

[@Evanescence-xb7uz]

Awesome vid mate really enjoyed it. I'll defo donate, but I'll give it to Angie if that's ok and she can pass it on to you. keep going dude and I hope you get those campers on all the summits

[@54DegreesNorth]

Cheers mate, not sure we will fill them all, but gives us a target to beat next year 👍👍

[@Evanescence-xb7uz]

@@54DegreesNorth Once word gets around I'm sure you'll do it and you never know it might even get people who haven't camped before to give it a go

[@FindingTheGoldenThread-nf8yv]

I'm thinking of getting this tent, my concern is that I have never used mesh only inners, can I ask how cold the tent is in a wind, does the wind cut strait through, so any windchill factor is brought into the tent. I mainly camp in the peak district or the lakes, I have a Unna but wanted a lighter tent for summer use, but as we all know it still gets windy in spring summer on the fells and tors .. any thoughts around winds and temperature when in the inner would be great would be great

[@54DegreesNorth]

Hiya mate, so I’ve only used it 3 times so far, the outer generally sits quite high off the ground so the wind does come under at times, but the tent is so versatile, I just drop the side the wind is coming from further to the group, I’ve not been cold in it yet either. I’ll be using it from the back end of spring through to autumn

[@FindingTheGoldenThread-nf8yv]

​@@54DegreesNorth thats great news, it seems to catch the wind a lot, is it flappy and noisy in wind
