I know I'm very late to this video but does anyone have tips on cooking in this tent in the rain. It's the one thing I really hate about it; no "usable" porch, i.e. one where you can have a door open in the rain. I don't like cooking inside a tent with the doors closed (it's dangerous and will cause massive condensation) and all the other tents I've owned have a porch where you can open a door and put the stove outside without the tent inner getting rained on. But in this one, the porch door is angled so that as soon as you open it, the inner is exposed to the rain. You can open only the bottom half the door, but then the open part is too far to reach to (to fiddle with the stove) from inside the tent. Am I missing something?

Had my 1st ever wild camp up blairdennon hill 6 years ago & was wanting to go back & find the same spot , that's how I came across your video . Hope you are doing well ..

Nice one buddy , are you still wild camping .

I really enjoyed that, cracking video 👍

hi, know its an old vid, but would you suggest you could get away with the niak for all year round if you dont snow camp?

Arrrra yyyuu Sscottissh🙏

Great review thank you Sean. I'm with you on the cheer of yellow, it swayed me in my choice of sleeping bag 😅 and is doing as I look for a new tent.. I've been considering a Niak but have been put of before by the mesh door, surprised they dont do a double door. You seem to suggest its not an issue though ? Cheers, John

I don’t understand a word…. 🙃

Brilliant review, thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm very tempted to buy this for it's space to go with my Soulo RL.

Loving your videos, Sean. Any more plans for getting back into the Ochils ?

Hi, thanks for this excellent review. Recently purchased the Niak. I've reached the age now, where due to some mobility issues, I need a tent with plenty of headroom, internal space and a large enough entrance so I don't need to burrow a hole to get in and out. In other words, I'm done with "coffin" tents. The Niak ticks all the boxes for me. Like yourself I've upgraded to 10 mm poles. Have you thought of doubling up on the guy lines? Ive added four extra guys using the already existing loops so that each pole can be supported from two different directions. It makes a big difference in heavy wind for a negligible weight gain. Thanks once again.

3 years ago I paid £820, now its about £920!

used the niak to thru hike the south downs way, north downs way, pilgrims way etc wild camping every night. build is as solid as a rock and light enough too. plenty of room inside for a wide sleeping mat and room to get dressed

Have you used it in winter with snow and winds? Good video. Thanks

I was originally looking at an enan. But now I'm heading in the direction on the niak, unna, rogen. Do you have any advice/experience re the 3 of these?

I made an 18 inch high ripstop curtain to Velcro across the bottom of the mesh door if required weight just a few grams. 😊

I’ll trade you my Rogan hilleberg for this tent

How tall are you head room looks good in. That tent

Well filmed

Many thanks for a great review 👍 As the lying down bit didn’t get caught on camera, would you recommend it for a 6ft 3” well built bloke? Cheers….

I want to buy that tent..

How the hell can you buy a tent for 1000€ not knowing what county the company is from😂😂

Hi there great video , i have been camping for a few months now below Bengengie ,just doen from sheep pens at the end of land rover track ,set up tent (miness a vango )then go up and watch sunset from top of Bengengie, absolutely brilliant it super charges the soul.Once again great videos ,picked up s few tips ,cheers.👍

Here cause I'm drinking highland spring

Just watched this back again after visiting Loch nan Eun on Wednesday during a round of three Munros and a top. It's an idyllic location so we had a long rest and a picnic there in warm sunshine. We added a third Munro, Beinn Iutharn Mhòr, which is normally climbed via a very long walk-in from Deeside, and a Munro top called Mam nan Carn to the usual route for the two Munros from Spittal of Glenshee. It was a long walk but not too strenuous and totally sublime. The worst part was the long traverse to the third Munro which was hard on my ankles and Wendy's knees. Next time we do this we'll go straight up Mam nan Carn from the second Munro and accross the top rather than take the traversing path that skirts below Mam nan Carn.

Great video man. I just got Niak tent and can I ask you something? I have Osprey 85l bag, and if I put this tent in it it takes a lot of space. I get that I could attach to the outside of the bag, but then I worry what happens if it rains? I'm a bit new to camping so it might sound like a stupid question.. but how do you usually carry these tents? Just outside the bag? I mean I have a rain cover but with this attached outside, maybe rain cover doesn't cover the bag wholly? Also I'm worried when I'm checking the bag in

A great review, many thanks for posting....I'm still undecided between the Suolo, Unna and the Niak....but nonetheless an excellent , informative review...Thanks again

Thank you!

Better camping over the other side of the reservoir, bit more sheltered there.

ThAT HEAD ROOM IS REALLY GOOD

ThAT HEAD ROOM IS REALLY GOOD

Really good quality! Could almost see my house 🙂

Great way to welcome spring! Next one not so far away 😉 Sláinte ! 👍

Beautiful, very remote location! And this sunrise…

I agree! Hill walking boosts your energy and helps to see things from a different perspective…. Well tested!

Fantastic solo camping tips. Going to test them next summer!

Great video and great hills, love to explore them too. Thanks for sharing!

Great video,thank you so 👍👍

Excellent video , the tent looks tidy 🇮🇪🇮🇪Atb Tony

Simply beautiful scenery! You’re giving this Niak a serious test . I’m in the market for a Hilleberg. I’m looking at 3 seasons. This looks the business. Great content. Greetings from Ireland, atb Tony 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Wow . Some fantastic views . Excellent video Sir ! 🇮🇪🇮🇪

Brilliant review. Just stumbled on the channel looking for reviews on this tent ! Looks a cracker 🇮🇪🇮🇪👌

Hi Scott, Thanks for the fantastic video. Please let me know which map you used in this video. Regards.

I bicycle tour and have the Staika Black labelfor extreme weather. With that said I am going to NZ and may find myself in chilly cold nights on South Island. With that said my Niak Yellow label arrived this week and I set it up but am concerned I might get too cold. I’ve considered returning it for the Soulo Red label. The downside is the Soulo is tight and two pounds heavier but can be easily regulated for heated nights. The Niak is beautiful! They all are!

👍

Excellent 😊✌

Great video, thank you. Is it easy take out the inner first if there's heavy rain? And if you're camping more than one night can you then pitch the outer first before attaching the inner? I've got a Niak but last time I tried to take out the inner the outer started to splay out! Thanks again, enjoy your videos!

I can sort of understand what he's saying, but I'm limited to English.

Looks a superb tent I'm seriously looking at getting 1 I have a few concerns tho become of the price 1 is the the vestibule big enough for my pack and to cook in.2 do you get rain being blown under the ends where the curve cuts are.3 is it best to use a footprint.4 is it worth getting the 10mm poles I camp all year in the lakes and in some pretty bad weather wind and rain.any help with these concerns would be a great help

Tent looks spacious, great vid 👍
