Great watch lads. Is that on the path on the way up or away from it? Looks amazing!

Great review 👍Bombproof tent that can be up and down in a few minutes once you get the hang of it. My trusty little Bobcat is coming with me on a 4 day roadtrip to Scotland later this month. Not exactly wild camping, but I do want the minimum weight I can get away with in the boot of my little sportscar. I have done the carabiner mod to the corner hooks to make them more permanent, and am currently just using a garden cane for the rear guy line mod. (I will find something more suitable eventually lol) One thing I do have to disagree with you (and quite a few other reviewers too) is the lack of space for a taller person. I'm 6' 2" and can sleep in it no problem (Although I am a side sleeper which may help)

I wonder about the livability with two people in this thing - we got one because our tent broke during a hike in Scotland. It looks fine in the video, but I'm 178cm lying on a 10cm Mat and had the choice between touching the inner (actually outer) tent with my feet or having the inner tent hanging in my face. Outdoorsmagic tried out the 3 person tent and said that one would be great with 2 people. So I'd advise setting the tent up in the shop and trying it out with your own matresses. The shop kindly took it back and we got a Nemo Dagger 2 instead - way better livability. It's a decent tent I thought, but they should work on making it more livable, perhaps splitting the middle pole at the ends.

Wow!!

Fleetwith pike?

This is what i’ve got! Love it 👌🏼

Is that a pheasant in the back

Lads, your tent reviews are really well thought out and very informative. Some of the best on YT by far! Cheers lads!

another cracking video lads 🙏 have been using this tent and couldnt agree more with what you have to say. no one does affordable gear quite like OEX

Great review and a great tent. I love this little tent nearly as much as Ant survive the night. Fantastic tip on the trekking pole at the back. I was out at weekend in mine and 2 pals who also have the BC1. The biggest issue we had was the sleeping quarter giving your face a battering but it was very windy up yonda. Thanks for sharing it pal

Great review, thank you.

I love these videos lads, the quality and editing is superb. Thanks for sharing the details of the tent. I have one myself and didn't know about that mod for the back. Thanks 👍

I have hillebergs, fjallravens. All sorts of tents, but I still love my little bobcat... I would say it is a 4 season tent.. I have had it out in horrendous conditions and it was unfazed... I put 4 of those tiny carabeaners on the four hooks quick, easy and effective. I have put it into semi-retirment, I care for it that much.. iam making a footprint for it , just to give it more protection... mine cost me £49... what a bargain for what a tent... Take care out there.

Nice to see you back lads! Missed your content. Get some more in the pipeline! 🎥

I am 6.3 so hopeless

would you recommend buying a footprint aswell? or do you think it'll be fine along as you make sure the ground is clear of anything sharp, thanks

I found the Lanshan 1 too crampwd ..my head touched tje top. Looking to get the pro 2.. seems a whole to roomier and not much extra weight.

Just use locktite on the pole ends, no need for adding elastic

brilliant in depth review.

An absolutely fantastic and thorough review. I actually own this tent and work away from home during the week. I therefore use this tent to keep things affordable. I pitched it for the first time recently after a long day at work, in decreasing light, in the pouring rain. It pitches outer first, which allows you to keep your kit dry. The inner can be left attached, but because I am usually packing away first thing in the morning before work, it is nearly always put away damp or wet. I therefore always separate the inner from the outer to allow me to dry thoroughly when I get home. The first time I pitched it, I forgot to wrap the guy lines around the pole, Which wasn’t a big deal, but you can see how much this adds to the tent in windy conditions. Thankfully, that night was not windy, just incredibly wet and the tent did a great job. I totally agree with all of your other comments especially the inner pockets which are a weird design. Overall though, an excellent tent and well worth the money.

Honestly. This is one of the most relaxing and chilled videos ever!

Class video. Looks like a great crack boys. Inspiring stuff!

Brilliant vid lads, i live in the town at the base of the Moelwynion-Blaenau Ffestiniog. The name Cnicht comes from the fact that the mountain looks like an engish knight's helmet, but the welsh couldnt pronounce the word Knight so they pronounced it Cnicht, hense the name.

Wild camped at Lambsfoot Dub this weekend gone. Cracking spot. Thanks fellas 👍

hi great video i live and camp on dartmoor i just done first camp of year i’m doing a river camp video soon i’m a new channel all the best i’ve subscribed too 👌👌

Excellent review

Stunning views beautiful

Great video lads. As a ex infantry soldier/seasoned wild camper age 60, my all year round tent is the oex bobcat. Firstly, its quick to put up on adverse weather as can pitch fly,inner together .Next as im older, the entrance is huge, easier to get in ,compared to the ground hugging vango banshee type tents. Also i can sit up in it and have massive awesome views In it. I used on 630mile South west coast path ,in all weathers,incl sea winds,gales and it was a true bomb proof tank of a tent,whilst i have witnessed more expensive tents struggle in those conditions.Do you still use the Bobcat,is it still serving you well ?

Love your channel and your content guys. I was on Ullswater at Glenridding this weekend just gone and was convinced I heard a bunch of Border Raiders nearby. Not sure if it was you guys, likely wasn't. But made me think about when you were releasing your next vid! Thank you

One of the best tent reviews I've ever seen. Looking at a tent and showing it put up out of the bag has a place but it isn't a review. Brilliant review of a very good tent. Your fix on the corner poles is transformational. Well done! Thanks!

Do you prefer the Helm 2 or the Blizzard 2? I own the blizzard 2 but want a tent i can sit up in.

Great video and I agree with the analysis of this tent. I bought a Lanshan 1 a year ago to get my pack weight down on my frequent Highland hikes and it has kept the weather and the midges out without fail. My Thermarest NeoAir and sleeping kit fit in easily. It is a bit tight for pack space and my retriever sneaks in under the pinned back entrance flap in dry weather (he has his own poncho basha so my pack goes in there! ) It is important to lift the guys as high as possible in order to tension the inner - the second hiking pole or a piece of wood can do this as shown in the intro photo on the video - otherwise it can sag. Recommended tent.

Sick spot that lads 👌🏻👌🏻

which featured got this tent which is normally reserved to higher priced tents?

Great video. Just bought one...but what's a ram horn clip?

Did you ever find out if you can double pole the tent lad? Looked all over online can’t seem to find anything.

Robens kit is good value and quality. I have the Arrowhead 1.

Imagine being caught out in it hiking, that's why an emergency bothy or some sort of shelter is a must once you're above the treeline. Got caught in a whiteout in Scotland as 16 year old many years ago, it came out of nowhere, it's a lesson you won't forget.

I dont understand. What language do you speak? Norwegian?

Really great landscapes in Uk 🙂👍👌

Class 👌👌

Just an FYI with the Bobcat, it works best with your feet into the wind. When placed side first into it it's not as aerodynamic. One of the downsides of the uni-pole setup.

Last time I camped the lakes I was in a £20 argos tent. Site camping out at Brothers Water in Summer 2016. Plenty on the site with top gear, even acar with a top box camp setup. 4am and a massive thunderstorm hit. Everyone sh#t themselves, packed up in the rain and scarpered off. Come the morning once the rain had cleaered there were 3 of us on site, the others in fairly decent tents and looking at me in my £20 job like "WTF?😶" 😂 Never surrender! 😁 Nothing like a bit of thunder in the lakes!

Hey! I bought the Helm Compact 2 and used it in the Alps last summer. The nights were around 10 degrees Celsius and every morning I had condense water on the inner side of the outer tent which has seemed to drop down from the top onto my sleeping bag. Not sure wether the top of my sleeping bag was wet from the dropped down water or from condensation of my body. Did you experience the same "issue" with your tent? Is that normal?

Great 👍

Wow. That was a great video from Dovrefjell. Cheers from a norwegian . Question did you carry all the backpack up to Snøhetta? And from which side did hike up from?

Very thorough review! Has been very helpful thanks

Amazing camp and footage. Nice one! What camera gear do you guys use?

I can't really add much more to the comments that you have already received except to say that it was spectacular. Thanks lads for your hard work and for bringing this to us .
