I've also got the Hiker 2 from decathlon which is good tent, tents I've had in the past was a North Face VE25 but summer you'd cook inside it .. so lighter and cheaper tents I've been using and I've done well in them , Berghaus Grampian 2 is awesome for a base tent for winter Scottish ice climbing and I've loved it in -8 conditions with no issues... looking forward to your next hike and camp...

Great video thanks. I'm trying to decide between the Mongar 2, Cloud Peak 2 and MSR Elixir 2. Which would you go for? Cheers.
@BackpackingUK3 жыл бұрын
My thoughts: Mongar 2 - perfect for good weather, the cheapest here, it is a really nice shape and size and light too. Cloud Peak 2 - performs better in the rain and wind, excellent value for money, it's a nice big tent and weighs 2.5kg all in. Elixir 2 - probably the best in the poor conditions, really well made, the most expensive here, nice shape and size but it weighs 2.77kg all in. It really depends on what you want to use it for. They are all good tents but be mindful the Mongar 2 isn't great when there is a chilly wind in the air.
