@davids95494 жыл бұрын
It's an interesting tent - obviously MSR/Big Agnes 'inspired' - looking a bit weird with its exterior skeleton (I'll bet that sings in the wrong kind of wind!) - what concerns me most is that there's nowhere inside the sleeping compartment for condensation to run apart from the floor, there's not even a mesh band above the bathtub like there is on other single-skin hybrids like the Lanshan Pro or the SMD Lunar Solo - unless you can ventilate enough, you could end up in a puddle. But it looks so glorious to be out again - I'm trying for my first proper 2020 camp this week in N Wales - thanks for your videos, I've enjoyed them during lockdown particularly as you show the human side of hiking and your attitude is A1 (subscribed). Also like seeing Dartmoor as I've never been there, I'm ashamed to say. A treat in store. When packing melty/runny/liquidy stuff like the one you burst, it's a good idea to have it inside an additional layer like a ziplock. Nothing wrong with that cookset, particularly if you're going to do a bit of real cooking, but I've moved on to a lighter meths/cone setup with Ti pot and I'm loving it - what made me change was the instability of those canister-top stoves; I'm a clumsy so-and-so and the final straw was torching my tent one night in wildest Knoydart. That looks like a beast of a sleeping mat! I don't imagine it's that light either...
@SummitOrNothing4 жыл бұрын
Yes, there are a few potential issues with this tent - i will test in more adverse conditions - but to be fair to Naturehike, this appears to be an earlier model, and they have since upgraded and altered a few things here and there - I hope to acquire a newer version at some point in the near future. The mat is huge - but for a quick stroll up a hill it was no real hardship carrying it and worth the comfort at the other end - I have had so many nights shuffling and slipping around on rubber inflatable beds - this seemed a lot better. Thanks for watching and your feedback! Cheers!

I hadn't blown any air in it, Dave, so your advice must be true... was a decent night sleep and it was so peaceful up there that early in the morning that I didnt want to rush off in a hurry, Thoroughly enjoyed that mini adventure. I'll look forward to your review - I need a newer lightweight pack. Cheers for watching!

Summit Or Nothing .... I loved my self inflator mat .... but it’s just so darn heavy for anything other than just a few miles... my latest mat the Rikki Tikki is very comfy and at 20oz a decent weight ... I have another that’s 12 oz but it’s not as comfy and very slippery... kept falling off it last time I took it out ... may get the trekology air mattress ... hearing some good things about that ...

Great video as always Trev. I set out last weekend for a wild camp up near Sharp Tor but was confronted with ‘NO CAMPING’ signs at every access point, even though the Dartmoor website says wild camping is now allowed (in approved areas only of course). I take it the signs are actually out of date rather than anything else? I’m heading out tomorrow night in the Hangershell Rock area regardless as I’m getting cabin fever in the house! Good to see you out and about again and looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.

Cheers Rod. I'm not sure whAt that was all about. I hear that some areas have been shit off since the recent mad rush and abuse by individuals, whether this was one, I'm not sure. As long as you keep low, leave no trace I'm sure that if it's purple on the map you should be fine...

Thank you very much for sharing this. Did you get much condensation on the inside of your tent? Looking forward to your next videos particularly the one when you walk the length of Dartmoor.

I didnt get any condensation actually, which really surprised me. You can see a more indepth look at the tent on my channel. Posted up last week so still fairly high on the recent uploads list!

@kenhenley75994 жыл бұрын
That was one hell of a video. Thanks for filming / editing / sharing it. One thing I noticed (but didn't when I watched your review of the Vik 1) was that there seemed to be a rear vestibule which, although it had no outer door, seemed to have a horizonal zipper on the inside mesh meaning that it could be used for (albeit limited) storage Am I correct? And don't worry about the "Best Before" dates on the boil in the bag meals. The actually last a lot longer than stated but are put on to protect the manufacturers against personal injury claims. Cheers. Ken
@SummitOrNothing4 жыл бұрын
Thanks Ken - rea;lly glad that you enjoyed this video, it was great to finally get back out again! There is a zip at the bottom of the side to get in and out of the additional vestibule, I mentioned it in the Vik 1 vs Cloud Up 1 video, but didn't really pay it much attention in these videos. Its a bit naff really, you would struggle fitting your backpack in and out of it, as it literally only undoes along the bottom of it. It would have been better as a full opener...

Hi Danielle - I know what you mean - safety in numbers especially if you're not all that confident. I have organised some charity walks in the past on Dartmoor - with twenty or so people getting together - hope to do some more of them as the restrictions are lifted and group gatherings are back on.

Great Vid (as per 👍🏻)....I’ve got the exact same inflatable mat (first one I ever tried) and it’s excellent...I trialled mine on Fur Tor and have never been without it since...is it bulky?...yep...but a godsend in my (humble) opinion. Note: I’m noticing more and more litter on the Moor recently,which ‘boils my piss’ quite frankly....it’s getting to the stage where the freedom we enjoy up there will soon be limited by the mindless minority if they’re not careful...someone even dumped a fridge in one of the car parks below Sharpitor/Leather Tor the other week...😡. Anyway, loved the video...👍🏻

I know its absolutely shocking behaviour, and all us KZbinrs are currently sharing the Leave No Trace mantra but to be honest, I don't think the guilty parties are likely to be watching our vids. They are not wild campers so much as festiival goers with no where to camp...
