Spot on Jake 👌 Better to lose it somewhere else and be safe and sound. Re the BA , without the extra insulation beneath i much prefer the Nemo EC for anything below zero although it was comfy . I do like having the long wide inside the Soulo just because i can put my electrics etc on it too and my Nemo EC is only a Regular wide so at some point i will sell it and get the Long wide . Thanks for commenting 👌

@@Olan... I always end up back on my xtherm, not as comfortable but you can feel the heat coming back at you

I only started to weigh my gear a few years ago Steve because i had a couple of bad falls and my back and my hip were in a bad way and i was in a lot of pain and couldnt walk without a bad limp and it seamed like a sensible way forward which i dont regret but its cost a few quid to get to where i am now. Bye Eck 2kg is a good weight for that beer 😜. Looks like you are in for a cold one tonight but i would take cold any day over rain. Have a fantastic night 👍👍👍 Thanks for watching and the comment too.

No i am not married, i have been waiting for you Abdul...where have you been al my life ???

@@Olan... Yes, I want to be involved with you. I want to be your life partner.💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏🙏

These are the Waymark pouches but i think they have gone out of business. Bonfus shoulder strap pouches are almost identical . You can buy shoulder strap pouches on Ali Express too and they are under £12

Thanks for the comment Dave 👍Its slightly lower in height but more of a purfect dome shape so handles the wind betterthan the S15 .This is my favorite tent of all time Dave and i bought a second one as a back up .The quality is top notch on all the lightwaves 👌 Its worth buying an M cloth ( Minky Cloth) because occasionally the seams need a wipe over and i wipe the inside of the sil nylon section to manage any condensation and also the outside before i pack it away and it makes for drying it out and repacking it ready for the next trip suer quick. I fitted a pice of 4mm bungee cord to the middle of the sil nylon panel too which i can position so i get some airflow or synch it down as nesasary . My mate bought your S15 and he also has the S20 and the S22

@Olan... Olan. Brilliant, thanks for that. I shall try and figure out the mod. How does your mate find the s20 vs s22? The 22 would be my preference for storage and airflow, but will try this first. Managed to get it for £349 new, so was too

Cheers Stig, thanks for watching 👍

Thanks a lot for that Steve, much appreciated 👍. Its a start and i can see what aspects i need to address. Ginsbrook Clough is my favorite route up and down if i am starting and finishing in Edale ATB

Its really quite quite comfortable with all the right gear Alf, thanks for watching 👍

The mic is just what i needed Dave , all i need to do is remember to turn it on 🙄 Great recommendation mate 👌 Thank you

Yeah I know what you mean. I’m in the habit of checking the noise level on the osmo before I start recording. Are you using that?

Cheers Chris 👍 .Still dont know how to edit but i like this Osmo 5 thing. I cant get over how light it looked when it was quite dark. Next stage is a tube of Super Glue and one of my uncles Pigeons 😂 Yeh the S15 is a great tent too and really light for what its capable of but this S20 is more of a Dome shape and its lower so handles the wind really well but its not Soulo bomber.

Lawson guy wire mate, you can get it from valley and peak when they have it in stock ATB

@@Olan...thanks a lot 😊

Sorry it Lawson Reflective Glowwire

@@Olan...many thanks ☺️

Awesome colour , i just checked out your channel and subbed 👍 Thanks for commenting Hedley

@Olan... nice, thanks, reciprocated.

Cheers Dave , pick one colour and dont be like me 🙄

Cheers Jack 😉👍 i think i would be happier if i could edit and polish things up all the same. It always baffles me why the Soulo gets a tough time from certain people but its the bench mark for a bomb proof shelter . You are wise to keep hold of it 👌 Thanks for commenting.

@@Olan... Yes lots of people who had them moved on to something else and the sheep watching the influencers go along with it. Then there’s the bods who never had one that just got on the negative pile on about it. Like teenagers disagreeing on the best fashion choices 😂

@@JackKlumpass Spot on 👌

Thats already a good investment in that case Jake 👍. Thanks for commenting , i did make a mash of this video but there is some footage of my katest Soulo at the end. I need to up my game with this video making business 🙄

@@Olan... like you, ive been through what feels like 100's of tents, and always come back to hilleberg, the materials and quality, sometimes its just worth that bit of extra weight, im dialed in now so im really light, with a different tent id be considered ul lol

@@cuprajake1 Same here , somethings are worth carrying that bit of extra weight . I am like that with the Petrel pot too . Theres loads of lighter cooking options out there but the sheer efficiency and speed wins me over

Jake you only bought that Unna the other week😂😂😂

@JackKlumpass yeah really didn't rate it, so swapped it for a soulo, I'd previously bought a Soulo from a shop, but returned it as I listened to too many people telling me they were terrible tents 🤯

last time i checked he has taken all his videos down Jack even with his new channel name which is a shame but hopefully he is just taking time out and will be back again soon fingers crossed.

Just clocked in the description, thanks.

@@JackKlumpass Yeh Showa Temres 282 they are great apart from the astheitic so i quite recently bought myself a black pair that are called Temres 01 Winter in size LL and size LL is asize 10 in UK glove sizes. I can wear these erecting my tents and handling poles and pegs and guylines without the need for removng them. Unfortunatly you canonly buy the Black ones from Japan and they take about 3 weeks to arrive from there to the UK and end up costing 36 quid but if the colour of the Blue ones doesnt bother you thenyou can get them off eBay for about 20 and they are loads better than gloves that i have used in the past that cost well over 100 pounds.

@@Olan... nice one fella. Definitely on my list. Good sour many thanks. PS I’m liking your vids. The technique n all that doesn’t bother me. I’ll take authenticity over slickness any day!👍🏼

@@JackKlumpass Thanks Jack

Thanks very much...i just subbed your channel too ;)

Thank you 👍

🤣🤣🤣🤣 That made me chuckle ..Thanks for commenting 👍👍👍🤣

If you are not in a hurry you can get a fire maple remote stove and the pot off Ali Express and it will take about 2 weeks to arrive. I am a gram counter too Stuart to a certain extent but i prefer gas and with the gas canister stand its really quite stable. Thanks for commenting.

I dont really bother with footprints these days Bilal, i prefer to keep my pack weight down with just essentials but i always carry a small closed cell pad for kneeling on and sitting on and kind of use is as a place mat etc when i am preparing my cookstove for dried meals and brews .

@Olan... thanks. Which closed cell pad do you use?

@@bilaltahir9978 You can buy the small square ones from either Decathlon or GoOutdoors that fold up very small and they ony cost around £6. The ones in GoOutdoors are called MutiMats

Well its been fine so far ,but I haven't had it in anything over 25mph so i havent got ny first hand expierience with anything stronger than that.

Its not a tent i would recommend for a taller person Dave especially if you are taking Honey along. I use a Long wide mat and the footprint is too tight length wise which results in coming into contact with the foot end and even the door and i am only 5'10" and the headroom isnt the best when trying to get changed. There are far better tents at that price range but thats just my opinion on what suits me Thanks for commenting 👍

@@Olan... Cheers, i have a 3fUL Taijin 2 coming, so will see what that budget option is like.

I am nearly bankrupt after your DJI advice 🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for watching Dave 👍

Glad you enjoyed!

Me too Stratts ...i can see me using it a lot for most of the year apart from extreme weather because its quite versatile being that you can use the mesh inner as a stand alone on dry stary summer nights. Thanks for the comment.

@@Olan...I’ve heard that some of them have had some quality control issues, so i hope yours is up to scratch! Best wishes

@@stratts_636 Yes but Geordie Wild Camper had Dan Durston on his channel commenting on an issue thats around the carbon fibre poles during production and he has been dealing with the manufacturers to put it right and also everyone who has purchased an Xdome will recieve a free set of poles for free so thats very reassuring indeed . Personally i will be using my Lightwave Sigma S20 throughout the winter or the Hilleberg Unna with 10mm poles depending on the conditions etc No point in pushing a 3 season tent to the limit and then being disapointed when it gets destroyed hey

My Senchi is like a 21st century Rab C Nesbits string vest 🤣........i havent got a clue how to d the stills 🤪

The 700ml one is out now and its only 10 quid on Ali Express and 20gms heavier but it takes the bigger gas cartridge too Lloyd 👍

Sorry its the 750 not 700

unless you know how to use sutures then these are uselsss - and very painful for the person receiving them. Far better to apply pressure to stop the bleeding and then either use medical superglue or Skin closure zips. Far more efficient, easier to use and less risk for the patient. As for sucking chest wounds -- hmmm! Rather go for an Israeli dressing - far more versatile.

@@chrishamilton2527 These are wound closure types (mega sticky) and not the ones that you need to use needles. I have been taught ti use that type when i was in the army, we practiced on pig skin .

@@Olan... thank Olan. That is precisely what I recommended. They go under various descriptions and can be shorted to suit the wound length. They are not sutures though. It’s a surgeon / hiker I help people sort out pragmatic first aid kits. The single most useful item by far is an Israeli dressing. Besides one of those everything else (excluding specific individual items) can fit into a small zip lock.

@@chrishamilton2527 I just googled Isreali Bandage and thats exactly what i have :) I thought it was called a Field Dressing

@ nah, Olan. A field dressing is different. Those have a different type of gauze - a proper IDF has two to treat both an exit wound and a larger gaping wound. In civilian use we might use the second one to wad into a deep wound. The IDF’s also have a pressure bar and a closure stick. This enables the dressing to function, in an emergency, as a tourniquet as well as a dressing. Where you located? I’ld be happy to demonstrate the use of one in various situations including treating deep wound / neck bleeds. These IDF’s are so versatile. As ex-military we know one of the most common horror injuries is an open fracture to the tibia (when the shin bone snaps and protrudes) often due to tripping over tree roots or a foot going down between rocks or into a hole and the momentum of the person, especially with a rucksack on. These types of injuries are rarely covered in First Aid I like to ensure as many of us know how to treat such issues.

Absolutely Wayne

It's dead easy Chris, all you do is just keep saying "Erm" every 3 seconds 🤣

Cheers Stig .Thanks for watching and the comment 👍👍👍

I have had the Mythic Ultra and the Mythic Alpine and i would say that this jacket in this video is the Mountlite and this is significantly much warmer than the Mythic Alpine and on par with the Mythic Ultra however the Mythic ultra has got more going on in terms of design features but the only thing that matters to me is warmth and fit and this fits ME better. Class wise the Neolite Endurance is Cumulus equivalent to the Mythic Ultra and that is warmer than the Mythic Ultra but the Mythic Ultra has a couple of nice design features around the face. Again its all about trade offs for personal taste really Lloyd and i just think Cumulus wins on the fit and the aesthetics plus i prefer my Red Neolite endurance over the Grey/Orange that i had on the Mythic Ultra. Thanks for commenting 👍

Thank you for your response!

Cheers Chris...we are all different and look for different aspects in our kit but it's always good to hear someone elses take on things...food for thought Rkid 😉

My advice would be to Stick with the Soulo for winter Jake. This XDome is excellent but the solid inner is advisable for winter use and its not released until spring 2025 The Soulo is a tried and tested bomb-proof shelter and i have actually had 3 in total over the past 15 years. As i have got older, i need more space because i am no longer as flexible as i used to be . Thanks for commenting ATVB

@@Olan... Yeah I'm struggling with the choice tbh pal, the attraction of dropping 1.2kg 100% the Soulo is overkill for me, but very bomber

@@cuprajake1 Theres ALWAYS a trade off with kit , especially in winter season but i always say Safety first so its worth considering other places to save weight Jake. You could go as simple as a BRS stove and winter cartridge and a Evernew titanium mug with a bic lighter which would suffice for drinks and making dehydrated meals. Plus your pack of choice and your sleeping bag are areas where you can chop a lot of weight and theres extreme lengths that you can go to such as cutting out labels on any clothing and de bagging things , chopping excess cord off your tent pegs, swopping for lighter guylines etc etc My current Winter tents of choice are the Lightwave S20 Sigma 1.7kg and the Hilly Unna with 10mm poles but like I said in this video technology improves quickly and in leaps and bounds so who knows what's around the corner. When the XDome Ultra comes out i might get that but there will always be that niggle in my mind about those carbon poles until i grow in confidence.If i was going out in Extreme winter conditions then i know that these tents wouldnt be ideal and thats where the Soulo would win hands down but then i am back to next to no space to manoeuvre around inside which at my age is a big plus and that might not be the case for a lot of people. Also Hilly inners are notoriously flappy but so are a lot of 2 skin tents and i want to see how i get on in Sub Zero conditions wth my S20 first because its also a lot about how you actually manage a tent and how well you choose a pitch and the way you guy it out and the types of pegs that you use. Anyway i hope you make the right decision that suits you 👍

@@Olan... Cracking reply pal, thank you 😉 did I read in Instagram you put a hole in it?
